MACROLUX® MULTIWALL sheets are manufactured in a wide range of versions and they can fit every
project requisite.
| Special Layers |
| Base version |
LL |
UV protected sheets on 1 side. |
| Available versions for the
Solar Control |
HS |
Reflective sheets with a special surface
treatment that allow to effectively reflect
much of the infrared radiation. |
| ATHERMIC |
Dual color sheets that serve the dual
purpose of reducing heat gain inside the
room and shielding the interior to stop
too much light getting in. |
| IR |
Translucent sheets that combines the
absorbing and reflective properties,
reducing the amount of infrared
radiation, responsible of the “green
house effect”. |
| Additional “UV”
Treatments |
NO UV |
Sheets not protected from the effect of
UV rays. |
| XL |
UV protected sheets on 2 sides |
| PLUS |
Sheets with increate, extra strong
protection from UV rays. |
| Other
Treatments |
MINDEW |
Sheets with treatment on the inside
to stop condensation dripping off the
surface and falling into the room. |
| ANTISTATIC |
Sheets with treatment which reduces
the static electricity surface, minimizing
the effect of attracting dust. |
| Particular
Colors |
BICOLOR |
Sheets made with a special method to
produce one color on the inside and a
different color on the outside. |

Heat Expansion
Macrolux Multiwall PC sheet has a higher heat expansion coefficient than standard construction materials
such as glass, steel and aluminum. Specific clearance between the sheet and the structural frame has to be
calculated in order to ensure proper installation.

- In order to avoid condensation in the sheet cells and sheet deterioration, always place the sheet with the
cells in the vertical direction.
- Always store the sheets in horizontal position, never against the floor. Apply aluminum tape to seal the
cells after cutting the sheet. Do not walk over the sheets.
- Do not apply direct load on the sheet with foot or knee. Use wood platforms or supports to spread out the
pressure during installation.
- Remove IIV protecting masking only and right after installation; never before and never after hours of being
installed.
- Macrolux® PC sheet can be cut to size using tools for standard materials such as cutters and saws. However,
it is recommended the use of a table with fixed
- knives for a cleaner cut.
- It is not recommended to drill holes in the sheet. Rather than this, the recommendation is the use of
aluminum or polycarbonate profiles to fix the sheets to the structure.
- Never use PVC profiles when installing Macrolux®PC sheets.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- For general cleaning it is recommended to use a non-abrasive, solvent free neutral soap with water.
- Rinse with high-pressure washer-Use a soft cloth or sponge to loosen any remaining of dirt and grime. Never
use abrasive cleaners or brushes. Do not scrub the sheet surface.
- Never clean with gasoline, benzene or acetone.
Bonding Adhesives
It is recommended to use silicone based sealant such as Dow Corning- 791 or equivalent.
