6mm Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheets – Side Entrances & Smaller Enclosed Areas
6mm multiwall polycarbonate is a lightweight, damage-resistant glazing material ideal for side entrances and smaller enclosed areas. With UV-protected co-extruded layers and superior impact resistance (200 x stronger than glass), 6mm sheets deliver excellent value for residential and light commercial applications.
Available in clear and opal finishes, 6mm multiwall is easy to cut with a stanley knife or jigsaw, making it perfect for custom installations. The hollow chamber structure provides good insulation while maintaining 80%+ light transmission. Class 1 fire-rated for safety.
Applications: Side entrances, smaller glazing areas, interior partitions, garden shelters, and light-duty roofing. Not recommended for pergolas or large roof spans—see our 10mm thickness for pergolas and lean-tos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 6mm multiwall polycarbonate suitable for pergolas?
6mm can work for smaller pergolas (under 2-3m span) with adequate support, but we recommend 10mm for pergolas and lean-tos. 10mm offers better structural rigidity and wind resistance for roof applications.

6mm multiwall polycarbonate is available in clear, providing maximum light transmission and full transparency.
Can 6mm multiwall polycarbonate be cut on-site?
Yes. 6mm 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 6mm multiwall sheets last?
With proper installation and basic maintenance (annual cleaning and seal inspection), 6mm multiwall polycarbonate lasts 10-15 years. The UV-protection layer maintains clarity throughout its lifespan.
