Looking for a more durable and attractive alternative to shadecloth for your pergola?
Look no further.
Twinwall polycarbonate has an upmarket modern architectural look and comes with a 10 Year Product Warranty guaranteeing its durability.
Roofrite recently completed a project that involved replacing the shadecloth on a pergola in Glen Waverley with Twinwall polycarbonate.
The shadecloth had been in place for some time and, as can be seen from the image below, mould had begun to form on top of the shadecloth, further detracting from the pergola’s appearance.
The timber structure supporting the shadecloth was also showing signs of deterioration, in all likelihood due to the shadecloth remaining damp for lengthy periods following seasonal rains.
Roofrite quoted to supply and install 9m2 of Sunlite Twinwall Polycarbonate to replace the shadecloth, virtually rebuild the timber supporting structure and install 4m of concealed guttering.

Supply and installation of the Sunlite Twinwall Polycarbonate product for a project of this size would usually fall in the vicinity of approximately $2,300 – $2,500 inc GST.
The client is thrilled with the result, particularly as the pergola space is now useable no matter what the weather; a benefit not available with shadecloth covered spaces.
There are of course other benefits of using Sunlite Twinwall Polycarbonate. It offers excellent light transmission – much better than shadecloth! It is extremely lightweight yet is impact resistant (250 times that of glass). The fact that it is weather and UV resistant and blocks virtually all UV radiation, 99.9%, adds to its suitability for pergolas. The product also provides superior thermal insulation which means it won’t get particularly hot when you’re sitting under it.
Palram’s Sunlite product comes in a couple of standard colours – Clear and Grey – with more colours to be added in 2015.
