More Information – Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets
Manufactured by Ampelite® under their trusted Solasafe® brand, these premium polycarbonate roofing sheets combine strength, clarity, and advanced UV protection.

Designed and made in Australia, Ampelite® Solasafe® sheets are built for long-term performance in tough conditions.
About Ampelite® Solasafe®
Ampelite® Solasafe® sheets are made from impact-resistant polycarbonate – up to 250 times stronger than glass – and are UV-protected on both sides for enduring clarity and protection. The dual-layer co-extrusion process ensures long-term resistance to weathering, yellowing, and brittleness caused by Australia’s high UV exposure.
Key Benefits

- ✔ Lightweight & easy to install: ideal for both DIY and professional applications
- ✔ Clear or tinted options: customise your roof for maximum brightness or heat reduction

Applications
Suitable for patios, pergolas, carports, skylights, and greenhouses, these sheets are designed for maximum versatility. The Solasafe® profile is compatible with popular roofing profiles like Corrugated COLORBOND® and Trimdek®.
Colour & Light Options
Choose from a wide range of clear, opal, grey, and bronze tints. Clear sheets provide the highest light transmission, perfect for greenhouses and covered areas that need natural brightness. Tinted sheets reduce glare and heat, making them ideal for patios and entertainment spaces.
Installation Guidelines
Install sheets with the UV-protected side facing the sun. Use Ampelite®-approved fasteners and allow for thermal expansion. Combine with custom flashings and rainwater goods for a watertight, professional result.
