For Architects: Polycarbonate Specification Made Simple

Technical resources for specifying polycarbonate systems — NBS clauses, U-value data, CAD details, lux guidance, and 48-hour spec support.

Architect specifying polycarbonate systems
For Architects · Coxwell Technical Resources

Specifying polycarbonate correctly takes about fifteen minutes if you have the right information. Most of the confusion — about U-values, yellowing, structural ratings, and installation details — comes from specifying based on a distributor's catalogue rather than a manufacturer's engineering data.

This page puts everything you need in one place. If you can't find what you're looking for, our technical team responds to spec requests within 48 hours.

What You Need to Specify a Polycarbonate System

01
Define your daylighting brief

What lux level does the space require? What orientation is the aperture? What's the thermal budget?

02
Choose the right product for the application
03
Get the technical data

Every Coxwell product comes with a full technical data sheet: U-value, light transmission, diffuse fraction, structural load rating, fire performance classification, and UV durability data.
