Photo above shows glass on left, polycarbonate on right. This is clarity you can expect from multi-wall polycarbonate. The 8mm sheet has ribs (channels) every 3/8". Since the ribs are spaced farther apart (about 3/4") on the 16mm & 25mm, these sheets offer a little extra clarity. Do not expect to see images clearly. Polycarbonate diffuses the sun's rays, which is excellent for plant growth, costs less than glass and is simple to install. To see available colors, go to Polycarb. FAQ's or order Samples.

 

If you are building an attached sunroom and and must have total clarity on vertical walls, check out our section on glass walled sunrooms and use multi-wall polycarbonate overhead.
