1) Polycarbonate, commonly used in roofing and industrial cladding, has gone beyond its initial applications to become a material widely used across various architectural typologies. Its combination of strength, lightness, easy installation, and ability to allow natural light to pass through has made it an attractive option for residential, educational, and even cultural architecture projects. In homes, polycarbonate not only helps create bright and comfortable environments but also allows for creative use of translucency to generate private spaces without sacrificing visual connection to the outdoors.
h2>Exploring the Boundaries of Polycarbonate
2) More and more architects are exploring the potential of polycarbonate in other sectors, such as offices, sports centers, and even museums, where its ability to transform the spatial experience through light and transparency adds an expressive value to the design. Additionally, the use of polycarbonate maximizes natural light, improving indoor environmental quality and reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day]. [Its versatility in shapes and finishes makes it adaptable to innovative designs and sustainable projects, which aim to reduce energy consumption and promote thermal comfort.
