Design & Specification
Specification:
Vandal & Shatter Resistance
The Welford’s 5mm solid & 16mm structured polycarbonate panels are resistant to all mechanical stresses both accidental and intentional, even when particularly heavy. It is therefore particularly suitable for use in areas where vandalism is a potential problem.
Maintenance
The Welford requires minimum maintenance. To clean the roof we recommend a solution of warm water and a non-abrasive cleaner. For more information please see the maintenance schedule which is found in your After Sales pack.
Weather Resistance
During the manufacture of our polycarbonate panels a layer of UV absorber is co-extruded on both sides which forms a barrier giving in excess of 98% UV protection from the sun.
Guttering
The Welford Dome is fitted with guttering and down pipes and is fully installed by our fully trained teams of fitters.
