Polycarbonate skylight is a very good choice and cost effective to replace traditional roofing. Despite polycarbonate is produced by the reaction of bisphenol A and phosgene (COCl2), the main advantage of polycarbonate over other types of plastic is unbeatable strength combined with light weight. While acrylic is 17% stronger than glass, polycarbonate is nearly unbreakable. Adding to the advantage, polycarbonate is just one-third the weight of acrylic, or one-sixth as heavy as glass, and the only drawback is that it is more expensive than either acrylic or glass. Other features available including transparency, better insulation properties, fire redundancy, long service-life, etc.
