Polycarbonate sheeting — Laserlite, Suntuf and similar profiles — is what you use when sheeting an area in solid steel would take away light you actually want. Over a room, a walkway, a doorway or the section of a patio nearest the house, the difference between clear and solid sheeting is the difference between a bright space and a dark one.

It is not a lesser material, but it does behave differently to steel. It expands and contracts more, so fixing needs to allow for movement, and using the wrong fasteners or over-tightening them is the most common reason these roofs fail early.

All work is carried out under NSW Building Licence 471250C, covered by $20M public liability and backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.

## Why Crown Roofers for this service
- **Daylight retained** — Rooms and outdoor areas keep natural light instead of losing it to a steel deck.
- **Matched profiles** — Corrugated and trimdek-matching profiles so clear and solid sheets run together cleanly.
- **Fixed for movement** — Correct fasteners and spacing, because polycarbonate moves more than steel.

## Signs you need this service
- Existing sheets yellowed, brittle, cracked or crazed
- An area that has become noticeably darker over the years
- Leaks around fixings on translucent sheeting
- Sheets rattling or lifting at the edges

## FAQs
### How long does polycarbonate last?

Quality sheeting holds up well, though it is not as long-lived as steel and it does gradually lose clarity. Cheap sheeting yellows and goes brittle noticeably faster.

### Does it get hot underneath?

Less than you would think with the right grade — tinted and heat-reducing options are available where the area faces west.

### Can it be mixed with Colorbond?

Yes, and it usually is. Matching profiles let clear and solid sheets sit in the same roof plane.
