- Will this panel yellow in the sun?
- FRP panels generally yellow and lose clarity as UV breaks down the resin. How fast depends on the UV stabilizer in the sheet, which is not stated here. Expect some hazing within a few years in strong sun.
- Can I walk on it?
- No. A 1.2 mm FRP sheet is not load-bearing. Support it on purlins at the spacing the manufacturer recommends and keep weight off the panel itself.
- How do I fasten it?
- Use roofing screws with sealing washers driven into the crests, and drill holes slightly larger than the screw shank. FRP expands and contracts with temperature, so tight holes cause cracking.
- Is it better than polycarbonate?
- Polycarbonate is tougher against impact and often has a UV coating that lasts longer. FRP is stiffer and usually less expensive per sheet, but it hazes and can craze. Choose polycarbonate for hail or long clear life; FRP for stiffness on a budget.
- What can I use it for?
- Sunrooms, carports, awnings, greenhouses and shed roofs where you want light through the roof. It suits covering, not structural use.
- Does it come with fasteners or trim?
- The listing describes the panel only. Screws, closure strips and ridge trim are normally bought separately, so plan for them before installation.
