Polycarbonate sheets are high-performance roofing and glazing materials known for their exceptional strength, impact resistance, UV protection, light transmission, and long lifespan. They are widely used in Kenya for both residential and industrial projects due to their durability, flexibility, and superior thermal performance compared to traditional materials like glass or iron sheets.
At Industrial Materials Kenya, we supply premium-grade solid polycarbonate sheets, hollow (twin wall) sheets, and embossed polycarbonate suitable for roofing, skylights, greenhouses, factory lighting, walkways, car sheds, partitioning, and safety glazing.
Our polycarbonate sheets are sourced from high-quality manufacturers and designed to withstand Kenya’s harsh sun, heavy rain, and high wind conditions.
