ACRYLITE® Resist High Impact Acrylic Wave Profile
3 mm ACRYLITE® RESIST HIGH IMPACT ACRYLIC WAVE PROFILE is highly light-transmitting and weather-resistant sheet made of impact-modified Acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA) polymer.
3 mm ACRYLITE® RESIST HIGH IMPACT ACRYLIC WAVE PROFILE is suitable for overhead and vertical installation applications including:
- Patio Covers
- Carports
- Porches
- Verandas
- Façades
- Windbreaks
- Canopies
- Lighting Panels
- Decorative Panels
ADVANTAGES OF 3 mm ACRYLITE® RESIST HIGH IMPACT ACRYLIC WAVE PROFILE
- Extremely UV-resistant, with a 30-year guarantee against yellowing.
- Offer excellent protection against harmful UV radiation. Safe and easy to handle.
- Hail-resistant with a 10-year guarantee for withstanding hailstones with a kinetic energy of 1 joule.
- Much thicker than many other corrugated sheets and therefore offer high inherent rigidity and loadbearing capacity resulting in much less deflection under snow load, making them safer and more attractive.
- Excellent light transmission and brilliance.
- Distinct, stylish appearance.
- Quick and easy to fabricate and install using simple tools. Can be point fastened. Special weather-seal calottes and fasteners available.
- Available in various colors and textures, also available in ACRYLITE® Heatstop.
WARRANTIES
Non-prorated, full replacement 30 year non-yellowing, 10 year light transmission and 10 year hail warranties. For details see warranty.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
3 mm ACRYLITE® RESIST HIGH IMPACT ACRYLIC WAVE PROFILE is built to last using environmentally sound manufacturing processes in facilities that have received ISO-14001 environmental certification. In addition, if the time does come for replacement, ACRYLITE® can be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
