As we have seen in previous articles, Irpen's Machihembrated Cellular Polycarbonate Systems are a perfect solution for different construction designs and especially for use on roofs and facades of sports spaces, such as multipurpose rooms, pavilions, sports centers and swimming pools. There are many years of experience and the architects who have chosen them, due to their outstanding aesthetic, functional and efficient characteristics, including:

Aesthetics:

- Translucency, with light transmissions ranging from 5% to 80%

- Lightness

- Wide variety of finishes and colors.

Functional:

-High impact resistance, tests of:

Ball impact: where there is no damage in impacts from soccer balls, tennis, handball or hockey

Ice hockey puck impact: There is no breakage in impacts at 130 Km/h

Hail impact: There is no breakage with hail of 40 mm in diameter at a speed of 61 Km/h

-Fire safety, it is self-extinguishing and hardly flammable (it does not generate toxic gases, nor does it leak)

-Thermal insulation up to 0.71W/m2K

-Sound insulation up to 28 dB

-Resistant to temperatures from -40ºC to 130ºC

-Coextruded UV protection

-10-year warranty

-Energy Efficiency

As we have mentioned, cellular polycarbonate panels offer us high thermal insulation with the advantages that this entails. The possibility of creating a double skin and recirculating the air in the intermediate chamber Natural, economical lighting, resulting from the low weight and light weight of the structure necessary to support it, as well as the ease of assembly.

The ease of assembly of Cellular Polycarbonate Systems makes them advantageously positioned before other translucent options, since you simply have to fix the perimeter aluminum profiles to the structure or hole to be covered, as a frame, and from left to right insert the panels, clipping them and fixing them to the substructure with the appropriate fixing clip for this purpose (in future articles we will detail this process more fully accompanied by images).
