AmeriLux offers three brands of multiwall and corrugated polycarbonate to suit a wide variety of horticultural applications. To help you better understand our different product features, we like to classify them in terms of "Good, Better, and Best."

 

Good	Coverlite® 8mm General Purpose (GP) twin wall polycarbonate sheet
Better	Lexan* 8mm Verolite* twin wall polycarbonate sheet
Best	Lexan* 8mm Thermoclear* Plus twin and triple wall sheets

 

Lexan* 8mm Thermoclear* Plus twin and triple wall sheets are superior to other available polycarbonate multiwall glazing products. Thermoclear® Plus sheets offer a 10 year warranty against yellowing and loss of light transmission. The sheets will not yellow or lose more than 2% light transmission over a ten year period. Thermoclear* Plus will also retain its high impact strength due to state of the art UV protection on the sheet.

Lexan* 8mm Thermoclear* Plus Softlite high-performance multiwall polycarbonate sheet is a 100% diffused multiwall panel utilizing advance polymer technology to scatter light while maintaining a 79% level of light transmission. Lexan* Softlite Corrugated sheet is a 100% diffused corrugated panel utilizing advance polymer technology to scatter light while maintaining an 85% level of light transmission. This diffusion feature is a perfect feature for greenhouse applications where plants benefit from high levels of light for growth but need protection from harsh intense sunlight. The 100% scattering of the light encompasses both top and bottom leaves resulting in faster uniform growth, virtual elimination of shadows, and delivers more consistent energy to the plant.

Lexan* 8mm Thermoclear* Plus 2UV sheet is UV protected on both sides. Installation mistakes are minimized since both sheet surfaces can face outwards. The unique 2-sided proprietary surface treatment protects the sheet against the degrading effects of UV radiation in natural sunlight.

Lexan* 8mm Verolite* twin wall polycarbonate sheet offers a high degree of light transmittance while blocking harmful ultra violet rays. In its structured sheet form, Verolite mulitwall sheet also offers excellent thermal insulation properties. Verolite mulitwall polycarbonate sheets are economical, lightweight, and can be easily fabricated on site.

Coverlite® 8mm General Purpose (GP) twin wall polycarbonate sheet is designed and engineered specifically for commercial greenhouse use. Our 8mm GP sheets offer UV protection on the interior surface with an anti-condensate feature on the interior surface. 8mm GP is made with an exclusive manufacturing process that results in superior anti-condensate control.
