Why Polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate windows have many advantages over glass and perspex alternatives. Advantages such as:

• The weight saving is instantly noticeable when glass is replaced with polycarbonate.
• Polycarbonate is shatter resistant, unlike perspex, glass and other acrylic derivatives.
• Polycarbonate is 250x stronger than glass and considerably stronger than Perspex

Safety is paramount when racing. Polycarb windows remove the risk of sharp glass or acrylic/perspex splinters coming into the car in the event of an accident.

Below is a strip of 4mm polycarb crushed sideways in a vice. No heat was used to aid it bending. As you can see, it has not splintered or broken, just bent and creased.
