Thicker is better:
1.5mm Commercial grade panels are up to 250% thicker than competing 0.8mm polycarbonate sheets. This extra thickness translates directly into extra strength allowing this panel to span up to 5’ on center purlin spacing.
Competing 0.8mm thick panels may require 2’ or 3’ on center purlin spacing.
The MEGA12 panel can support up to 60 lbs per sq ft of snow load with 5’ purlin spacing and 100 lbs per sq ft at 34″ purlin spacing.
MR12 2.0mm XHD Commercial grade exceeds the performance of the 1.5mm MEGA HD panels that have been Florida Building Code approved for use as structural roofing and side wall panels.
Also the new 2.0 Silver Reflective Translucent Panels available in the MR12 profile have a reflective coating that allows 200% less heat gain that clear panels.
