How should I clean polycarbonate sheet?
Polycarbonate sheet should not be cleaned using chemical cleaners because they can cause damage to the material. We recommend cleaning polycarbonate sheet with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. There are various plastic cleaners and polishers available which we can provide that keep polycarbonate looking brand new.
Is it possible to cut polycarbonate sheet myself?
Polycarbonate sheet can be cut using a circular saw, a jigsaw or any type of saw with a fine-tooth blade. We recommend laying the polycarbonate sheet flat on a firm surface, such as a workbench, and clamping it down before cutting. If you are using clamps to hold the material down, we suggest placing wood between the clamps and polycarbonate sheet to prevent any damage to the surface of the polycarbonate. Manufacturer safety precautions should always be followed when using any type of saw. See our ultimate guide to polycarbonate for more information on polycarbonate and it's uses.
