Why choose Polycarbonate Sheet (UV Resistant)?
Polycarbonate sheet is the toughest clear plastic in common use, with roughly 250 times the impact resistance of glass at around half the weight. It is the material behind machine guards, safety glazing and riot shields. You may see it sold under brand names such as Lexan or Makrolon; the material is the same polycarbonate, and what we supply is UV stabilised for Australian sun.
It cuts, drills and thermoforms readily, and unlike acrylic it does not chip or craze when worked, which makes it forgiving for both fabrication shops and DIY. Common uses include machine guards , safety glazing, greenhouses , signage and general fabrication.
Benefits of polycarbonate sheet
- High impact strength: around 250 times tougher than glass, so it absorbs heavy impacts by flexing rather than shattering.
- Optical clarity and UV protection: excellent transparency with built-in UV resistance for long-term outdoor exposure.
- Temperature and weather resistance: handles Australian extremes without yellowing or going brittle, and stays tough from freezer temperatures to around 120°C.
- Easy to fabricate: cuts, drills and cold-bends without chipping, unlike acrylic.
Applications
- Glazing and roofing: suits skylights , greenhouse panels and protective barriers , being light and shatterproof.
- Machine guards and safety shields: impact-resistant protection for industrial and commercial settings.
- Signage and displays: clear, durable and weather resistant for signs, posters and retail displays.
Colours and finishes
- Clear
- AR Clear (abrasion resistant)
- Opal
- Tint
We cut polycarbonate to any size you need. Price your cut online , or send us a drawing if the part needs machining, bending or fabricating as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is polycarbonate sheet?
Polycarbonate is a transparent engineering plastic with around 250 times the impact resistance of glass. It is virtually unbreakable in normal service, which makes it the standard for machine guards, safety glazing, roofing, and security screens.
How do you cut polycarbonate sheet?
Polycarbonate cuts cleanly with a fine-tooth circular saw, jigsaw, or even sturdy shears on thin gauges, and it does not chip or crack the way acrylic can. For exact sizes with clean edges, order it cut to size and we will cut it to the millimetre.
Is polycarbonate UV resistant?
Our polycarbonate sheet is UV stabilised for Australian conditions, so it resists yellowing and embrittlement in direct sun. For long-term outdoor glazing, specify the UV-protected grade and install with the protected face outward.
What is the difference between polycarbonate and acrylic?
Polycarbonate is far more impact resistant and slightly more flexible; acrylic is harder, more scratch resistant, cheaper, and clearer over time. Choose polycarbonate where breakage is the risk, and acrylic where optics and budget matter most.
Can polycarbonate be used for roofing?
Yes. Flat solid polycarbonate suits awnings, walkway covers, and pergolas, and twinwall or corrugated profiles suit larger roof areas. We cut flat solid polycarbonate to size for roofing panels, windbreaks, and skylights.
What thicknesses does polycarbonate sheet come in?
We stock solid polycarbonate from 2mm through 12mm, with thicker gauges available for blast and security applications. Clear is standard; tints and light-diffusing grades are also available.
How strong is polycarbonate?
Strong enough to be used for riot shields, machine guards, and security glazing. It absorbs heavy impacts by flexing rather than shattering, and retains useful toughness from freezer temperatures up to about 120 degrees Celsius.
Where can I buy polycarbonate sheet cut to size?
Order online with our pricing calculator for an instant cut-to-size price, delivered Australia-wide or ready for Gold Coast pickup. Bulk and trade quantities are quoted same day.
Need this custom cut or fabricated?
Send us your drawing (DXF, DWG, PDF, EPS, STEP) and we'll quote your Polycarbonate Sheet (UV Resistant) to spec.
