Clear Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets in Kenya
Clear polycarbonate roofing sheets are one of the most durable and versatile roofing materials available for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. At Sai Raj, we supply premium clear polycarbonate roofing sheets in Kenya that combine outstanding strength, excellent light transmission, and long-lasting UV protection. Also known as clear plastic roofing sheets, transparent roofing sheets, or clear roof panels, these sheets provide the appearance of glass while being significantly stronger, lighter, and safer.
Designed for Kenya's diverse climate, our polycarbonate sheets resist intense sunlight, heavy rain, hail, and everyday weather exposure without losing their clarity. Whether you're building a skylight, greenhouse, patio, pergola, warehouse, factory, shopping centre, or covered walkway, our roofing sheets deliver reliable performance while creating bright, naturally lit spaces.
Unlike traditional glass roofing, polycarbonate sheets are engineered to withstand impact while maintaining excellent transparency. Their lightweight construction makes transportation and installation easier, reducing labour costs and installation time without compromising structural performance.
The integrated UV protective layer helps reduce harmful ultraviolet rays, slows material ageing, and maintains long-term clarity. At the same time, the sheets allow abundant natural daylight into buildings, reducing reliance on artificial lighting during daytime hours.

Glass has long been used for transparent roofing, but modern polycarbonate sheets provide several important advantages.
Much Stronger
Polycarbonate is highly impact resistant and far less likely to crack or shatter than glass, making it a safer roofing solution for homes and commercial buildings.
Lighter Weight
Because polycarbonate sheets are much lighter than glass, installation is easier, transportation costs are lower, and supporting structures often require less reinforcement.
Better UV Protection
Our sheets include UV protection that helps maintain long-term clarity while protecting people, furniture, and interiors from harmful ultraviolet rays.
Better Thermal Performance
Polycarbonate provides improved insulation compared to ordinary glass, helping create a more comfortable indoor environment while reducing heat transfer.
Lower Maintenance
Unlike many traditional roofing materials, polycarbonate sheets resist corrosion, require minimal maintenance, and continue performing for many years with proper installation.
Proper installation is essential to ensure clear polycarbonate roofing sheets maintain their strength, transparency, weather resistance, and long-term performance. DecoGlaze polycarbonate sheets are lightweight, durable, and designed for easy installation when the correct fitting methods, accessories, and handling procedures are followed.
Before installation, ensure the roofing structure, fixing accessories, and sheet orientation are correctly prepared. For larger commercial or industrial projects, professional installation is recommended to achieve the best results.
1. Prepare the Roofing Structure
Before fitting the polycarbonate sheets, make sure the supporting structure is strong, level, and correctly spaced according to the sheet specifications. The lightweight design of polycarbonate allows installation on relatively light support structures compared to heavier roofing materials.
The frame should be free from sharp edges or objects that may damage the sheets. Ensure purlins and support sections are properly aligned to provide a stable base for installation.
2. Check Sheet Orientation and Protective Film
DecoGlaze polycarbonate sheets have a UV-protected surface designed to face outward towards direct sunlight. Always install the sheet with the UV-coated side facing upwards.
Keep the protective film on the sheet during cutting, drilling, and installation to prevent scratches or surface damage. Remove the protective film only after the installation process is complete.
3. Cutting and Preparing the Sheets
Polycarbonate sheets can be cut to suit different roofing designs and project requirements. Use suitable cutting equipment, such as a high-speed circular saw with a fine multi-tooth blade, to achieve clean cuts without damaging the sheet.
Ensure measurements are accurate before cutting to reduce material waste and maintain proper alignment during installation.
4. Sealing Hollow Sheet Ends
Before installation, seal the open ends of hollow polycarbonate sheets using suitable aluminium tape or anti-dust tape. This helps prevent dust, insects, and moisture from entering the sheet channels.
After sealing, install compatible U profiles or end caps to provide a neat finish and improve weather protection.
5. Drilling and Fixing the Sheets
When drilling is required, holes should be drilled carefully at a 90-degree angle to the sheet surface. Fixing holes should allow enough room for natural thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate material.
Use suitable waterproof self-tapping screws, washers, and sealing accessories designed for polycarbonate installation. Avoid overtightening screws, as this can restrict movement and cause stress on the sheets.
6. Allow for Thermal Expansion
Polycarbonate expands and contracts as temperatures change. During installation, sufficient clearance should be maintained around fixing points and sheet joints to allow natural movement.
Allow adequate spacing between screws and sheet edges according to installation requirements. This helps prevent cracking, distortion, or damage over time.
7. Connecting Sheets Using Profiles
For multiple sheet installations, use compatible DecoGlaze profiles, including H sections for joining sheets and U sections for edge finishing.
Proper profiles help create a secure connection, improve waterproofing, and provide a professional finish for the completed roofing system.
8. Safe Handling During Installation
Although polycarbonate sheets are highly impact resistant, avoid walking directly on the sheets during installation or maintenance. If access is required, use a suitable support board fixed securely across the roofing structure to distribute weight safely.
9. Cleaning and Maintenance After Installation
Polycarbonate roofing sheets require minimal maintenance to retain their appearance and performance. Clean the surface using a soft cloth, sponge, and mild neutral cleanser.
Avoid abrasive cleaning materials, harsh chemicals, or solvents that may damage the protective surface coating.
With correct installation and maintenance, DecoGlaze polycarbonate roofing sheets provide years of reliable performance for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
