Decoglaze 8MM Polycarbonate Sheet, Size - 5.8 Meters X 2.1 Meters, Colour - Opal
The DecoGlaze 8mm Opal Polycarbonate Sheet is a premium roofing and glazing solution designed for projects that require natural daylight with improved comfort, reduced glare, and better heat control. Unlike clear polycarbonate sheets, the Opal finish diffuses sunlight evenly, creating a softer and more comfortable environment while maintaining excellent light transmission.
Manufactured in Kenya by Sai Raj, DecoGlaze Opal Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets combine advanced hollow sheet technology with UV protection, high impact resistance, and thermal insulation properties. With a 5.8 metre x 2.1 metre sheet size, these white polycarbonate roofing sheets are ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications where controlled lighting, privacy, and durability are important.
The frosted Opal surface helps minimise harsh sunlight and glare while allowing natural light to brighten spaces underneath the roof. This makes them an excellent alternative to traditional glass roofing for patios, walkways, skylights, pergolas, commercial buildings, and architectural roofing projects.

Why Choose Opal Polycarbonate Sheets Instead of Clear Roofing?
While clear polycarbonate sheets provide maximum transparency, Opal polycarbonate roofing sheets are designed for areas where softer lighting and improved comfort are preferred. The diffused finish helps reduce direct sunlight and glare, making covered spaces more enjoyable during bright sunny conditions.
They are especially suitable for outdoor areas such as patios and pergolas, where excessive sunlight can create uncomfortable heat, while still allowing natural daylight into the space.
