Clear Polycarbonate Corrugated Roof Panels vs Smoke Gray Polycarbonate Corrugated Roof Panels

Buy the Clear panel if you want maximum daylight under a patio, shed or greenhouse roof and a rigid sheet that shrugs off impact. Buy the Smoke Gray panel if the structure faces south or west and you need to cut glare and solar heat. Both are corrugated polycarbonate with UV weathering treatment and roughly 85% light transmission, but the Clear sheet is thicker and stiffer while the Smoke Gray is a thinner tinted sheet sold in a curved wave profile. Owners of the Clear panels report easy cutting, clean packaging and panels matching the listing.

• Choose the Clear Roof Panel if you want a bright, rigid, clear cover for a greenhouse, shed or patio and plan to cut it with household tools.
• Choose the Smoke Gray panel if your roof gets hard afternoon sun and you want shade, less glare and lower heat gain over a carport or lounge.
