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

Buy the Clear Trapezoid panels for greenhouses, plant areas, or any roof where you want maximum daylight; buy the Smoke Gray Curved panels for a west- or south-facing patio, carport, or lounge where afternoon heat and glare are the problem. Both are corrugated polycarbonate of the same panel size, so the real split is light versus shade, not build quality. The Clear sheet carries a documented 20-year expected life, a ten-year warranty, and tested impact and fire ratings; the Smoke Gray sheet is the deeper tint with a curved wave profile and a stated Class I flame rating. Owners of tinted polycarbonate roofs consistently report cooler, less glary spaces underneath, while clear-roof owners report brighter spaces and better plant growth.

• Choose the Smoke Gray Curved panel if your structure faces the sun and you want to cut heat and glare while keeping diffused light underneath.
• Choose the Clear Trapezoid panel if you are roofing a greenhouse or any space where full daylight and plant growth matter more than shade.
