- Visual defects
(inclusions, bubbles, black specs, gel,etc) no visual defects are
allowed by inspection from a distance of 1 M. If not visible by
using this method, sheet would be considered acceptable. Only 2
defects for every 3 linear meters of material with defect size not
exceeding 1 mm in diameter or if not visible from inspection from
1 mm distance will be acceptable.

- Condensation Multi-Wall
polycarbonate is not a sealed unit and condensation will occur
between the layers. This is normal and can not be avoided.
Differences in temperature and/or humidity between interior and
exterior of the structure creates this situation. Typically when
the sun shines on the sheet or when climate differences stabilize
the condensation decreases or goes away. For condensation to drain
properly the channels must be running vertically.
- -
- If total elimination of condensation is
crucial then use insulated glass. Please note that insulated glass
seals eventually fail and condensation will occur. Insulated glass
units come with a 5 or 10 year warranty. No warranty is available
in high humidity applications such as greenhouses or pool
enclosures, or in overhead applications such as
skylights.
