10mm Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheets – Pergolas, Lean-Tos & General Roofing
10mm multiwall polycarbonate is a lightweight, insulating glazing material ideal for pergolas, lean-tos, and general roofing projects. With superior structural strength and thermal insulation compared to 6mm, 10mm sheets deliver excellent impact resistance (250x stronger than glass) while remaining easy to install and cost-effective.
The multiwall structure features a UV-protected co-extruded layer on the outer surface for extended durability. Available in clear, opal, and bronze finishes, 10mm sheets can be cut easily with a stanley knife or jigsaw. The material offers outstanding energy efficiency and is Class 1 fire-rated for safety.
Typical Applications: Pergola roofs, lean-tos, car ports, BBQ shelters, smoking shelters, garden studios, and residential roofing projects. For smaller side entrances or glazing areas, see our 6mm thickness. For roofing projects requiring greater insulation, see our 16mm thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 10mm multiwall polycarbonate suitable for pergolas?
Yes, 10mm is the ideal thickness for pergolas and lean-tos. It offers superior structural strength compared to 6mm while remaining cost-effective. Recommended for spans up to 3-4 meters.
What colours are available for 10mm multiwall polycarbonate?
10mm multiwall polycarbonate is available in three colours: Clear (transparent, maximum light transmission), Opal (translucent whitish/cream, diffuses light evenly & provides privacy), and Bronze (tinted finish that reduces glare, ideal for car ports and patios).
Can 10mm multiwall polycarbonate be cut on-site?
Yes. 10mm sheets are easy to cut with a stanley knife or jigsaw. Standard tools only—no specialized equipment needed. We recommend pre-cutting for larger custom sizes to minimize waste.
How long do 10mm multiwall sheets last?
With proper installation and basic maintenance (annual cleaning and seal inspection), 10mm multiwall polycarbonate lasts 10-15 years. The UV-protection layer maintains clarity throughout its lifespan.
When should I choose 10mm over 6mm?
Choose 10mm for pergolas, lean-tos, and roofing projects. It offers better structural strength, wind resistance, and thermal insulation than 6mm. For small side entrances and glazing areas, 6mm is suitable and more economical.
When should I choose 16mm instead of 10mm?
Choose 16mm for large roofing projects requiring greater insulation and structural strength, longer unsupported spans (4+ meters), or applications where maximum thermal performance is critical. For standard pergolas and lean-tos, 10mm is ideal.
Product Guides & Resources
