16 mm multi-wall polycarbonate

16mm multiwall polycarbonate is a durable construction material designed for applications where high rigidity, improved thermal insulation, and resistance to loads matter most. Thanks to its multiwall structure, the sheets reduce heat loss and diffuse light well, supporting stable conditions inside a greenhouse or enclosure. The UV-protective layer shields the material from sunlight, while the sheets remain easy to install and process, delivering excellent long-term durability.

16mm multiwall polycarbonate for greenhouses – a solid cover that improves insulation and structural stability

16mm multiwall polycarbonate is recommended for larger greenhouses and structures where sheet rigidity, better thermal insulation, and resistance to wind and snow loads are important. The multiwall structure reduces heat loss, while the sheet still diffuses light well, creating favourable conditions for plants.

Choose 16mm multiwall polycarbonate for your greenhouse at Oteko.pl – opt for a thicker sheet that improves cover stability and supports temperature retention throughout the season. Match the colour to your sunlight conditions and order together with installation accessories.

Why does 16mm multiwall polycarbonate work so well in a greenhouse?

In horticulture, multiwall polycarbonate is chosen for its combination of insulation and light transmission, which supports stable plant-growing conditions. In the 16 mm version, the sheets offer higher rigidity and better thermal protection, which is especially important in larger structures. In addition, the material is hail-resistant and does not crack like glass.

Another advantage is durability and comfortable use for many seasons. The UV layer increases resistance to radiation and helps the sheets maintain their appearance for a long time, even with intensive sun exposure.

How to choose the right polycarbonate thickness for a greenhouse?

The choice depends on the structure type, surface size, support spacing, and the required thermal insulation. For larger greenhouses and year-round enclosures, thicker sheets are often selected, which is why 16mm multiwall polycarbonate is a practical solution when you want stability and better insulation. It is also worth matching the support spacing to the sheet thickness and the expected wind and snow loads.

16mm multiwall polycarbonate colours for greenhouses

At oteko.pl, 16mm multiwall polycarbonate sheets are available in selected colours. The colour choice affects light transmission, temperature inside the structure, and overall growing comfort. Clear provides maximum light, opal (milky) diffuses it and helps reduce overheating, while smoked shades can help keep temperatures lower on sunny days.

UV layer and durability of 16mm sheets

The sheets must be installed with the UV-protected side facing outwards, as it protects the material from sunlight and supports long-term durability and the appearance of the cover. Multiwall polycarbonate available at Oteko.pl has a UV layer, which reduces the risk of yellowing and degradation caused by sun exposure.

Installing 16mm multiwall polycarbonate in a greenhouse

Correct installation is crucial for durability, tightness, and the appearance of the structure. Install the sheets with the UV layer facing outwards, with the channels positioned vertically (for condensate drainage). Use H profiles for joining and U end caps for closing the edges. Seal the edges with a breathable tape at the bottom and a solid tape at the top to reduce dirt inside the channels.
