Proper Care & Maintenace for Sunshield and Sunlite Polycarbonate Sheets


HOW DO YOU PROPERLY CARE AND MAINTAIN SUNSHIELD / SUNLITE POLYCARBONATE SHEETS?

1. Keep the protective film on the Sunlite and/or Sunshield UV Protected Polycarbonate Sheets surface throughout the installation process or during the frame surface coating. Only remove the film once the installation procedure will be done.


** excessive outdoor exposure of the polycarbonate sheets with film may cause the film’s adhesive to adhere to the polycarbonate sheets – therefore it is highly advisable for the entire installation process to be complete within 7 – 10 days **
