Corrugated Single Skin Plastic Sheets
Versatile and simple to use single skin
sheets available in tough polycarbonate (PC), highly translucent
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or durable glass reinforced polyester
(GRP). Sheets are offered in a range of profiles, widths and sheet
lengths to suit different applications.
PC
A recent addition to Rockwell's corrugated range
called 'Polygreca' is a translucent polycarbonate sheet
manufactured in a 76/18mm box profile. It combines the
strength and durability of commercial polycarbonate sheets with the
ease of fitting associated with 'DIY' sheets. It also benfits
from being produced in an appealing translucent opal white finish
which permits 65% of light to be transmitted whilst eliminating
both harmful UV rays and glare from direct sunlight. Click to download Polygreca

PVC
Rockwell stocks clear 3" asbestos (wave)
profile PVC as the most basic within it's corrugated sheet range -
this is popular for simple domestic projects and car
ports. Clear PVC sheets are also stocked in the
larger big-6 wave profile for industrial and agricultural
buildings. In addition other wave or box profiles can be
supplied to order in clear, translucent, light grey and other
colours subject to minimum manufacturing quantities.
A popular general purpose opaque white PVC lining sheet
in 70/18mm (3") greca box profile is also stocked in 8',
10' and 12' lengths. This innovative product combines recycled and
virgin PVC material to offer a durable, economic and lightweight
alternative to steel cladding sheets which will not rust. It is
suited for waterproofing applications on basements, railway arches
and underground car parks or for use within agricultural or
pharmecutical buildings to create hygienic and easy to clean
walls and ceilings.
All of Rockwell's commercial PVC sheets are produced using a
unique patented 'bi-orientated' stretching process which
provides over double the traction impact resistance of traditional
PVC sheets. The process alters the mechanical properties of the
sheet without the need for chemical additives and is so effective
that the big-6 profile sheets are the only 'non-fragile' rated
PVC rooflight on the market.
GRP
Translucent GRP sheets are available from stock in 3"
iron and big-6 wave profiles in lengths between 5' and 12' .
Though possessing lower visual clarity than PVC and PC, GRP is
both durable and versatile. A benefit of being the
longest established of the rooflight sheet types means
that for relatively low quantities GRP sheets can
be manufactured to a wide range of trapezoidal or sinusoidal
profiles to match common metal or fibre cement roofing
sheets.
Various weights and fire grades can be produced to suit the job
requirements with heavy weight 'non-fragile' tested versions also
offered. For larger orders colour tints can be added to
the GRP resin to provide an alternative to the natural
translucent finish (above).
