Glazing & Roofing Solutions

Interstate Plastics offers a wide range of glazing and roofing solutions from high light transmission greenhouse panels to Miami Dade County Hurricane tested storm panels and even bullet resistant acrylic and polycarbonate.

Half the weight of glass and 250 times stronger, polycarbonate has become a go-to material for industrial and commercial glazing and roofing. With exceptional optical clarity and light transmission properties, as well as a variety of attractive colors and UV/LT controlled grades, polycarbonate is a great option for:

• Skylights and sidelights
• Architectural roofing
• Industrial roof lights
• Agricultural greenhouses
• Indoor partitions
• Car ports
• Light roofing and awnings
• Deck covers
• Pool enclosures
• Shade canopies
• Animal shelters
• Facades and curtain walls
• Tool sheds
• Walkway covers
• Acoustic barriers along highways
• Anti-vandalism windows
• Bullet resistant dividers in banks and retail outlets

Enlist nature's qualities for interior atmosphere: polycarbonate is perfect for building lighting, open passageways, pools, verandahs, interior design elements, display windows, and exhibitions. Twinwall and multiwall add an air layer for added insulation. Polycarbonate can be curved, formed, and fabricated into nearly any geometric configuration that a designer might imagine. It’s putty in your hands: almost any project, however unique it may be, can be realized with polycarbonate.

For storm season, our twinwall/multiwall polycarbonate storm armor protects windows and everyone inside from strong winds and flying debris. We offer complete kits that are light and easy to install. Polycarbonate hurricane protection allows for natural lighting and wont mold or rust like wood and metal alternatives.

These charts show wind loads and sheet deflection that should be taken into account when designing a covering. Use of the graph indicators is quick and easy, and is intended to provide information of a type generally acceptable in civil engineering. Each chart provides data for 3 different sheet widths with the maximum proportional deflection being 1:20 or 5% of the specific width.

The right-hand area, where the curves become more horizontal, measures specifically and only sheets clamped at 2 sides. The left-hand area measures specifically sheets glazed in frames with supports perpendicular to the sheet ribs. For structures built in areas with variance in meteorological conditions, the use of adequate safety factors is recommended in order to reduce risks.

The data and information in this section is given in good faith but only as basic technical support for engineers of various structures. In no way can this information be substituted for the responsibility and liability of the designing engineer of a structure as determined by law. The information pertains to the roofing material only and does not in any way determine the strengths required in a supporting structure or in various glazing systems.

Cut and drill using standard wood working tools:

Cutting can be done on a standard circular, jig, or table saw with a blade having 8-12 teeth per inch. Thinner gauges can be cut with a box knife.

Drilling is performed with standard wood drill bits.

Trim with a standard box cutting knife.

Bending is done by cold forming along the direction of the flutes. Bending guides are available.

Bonding ("gluing") can be done with Weld-On 55 adhesive.
