Laserlite® is the only polycarbonate corrugated sheet
product in Australia featuring
Advanced Weatherguard™ technology, a special protective
material that is warranted to
• Extend the life of the sheet by up to 50%#
• Maintain sheet colour and clarity up to 50% longer#
• Provide 99.9% protection from UV rays up to 50% longer#
• Resist 25% larger hailstones#
With unrivalled technology and superior performance, it’s
clear why Laserlite® is part of the Australian outdoor lifestyle.
Comfort Cool™ keeps you cool and comfortable.
Laserlite 3000 is the only polycarbonate roofing product to
feature Comfort Cool™ Technology, special properties in the
sheet that reflect the warming effect of the sun’s rays to offer
• Up to 50% better heat reduction than standard
corrugated sheet#
• reduced glare for ultimate comfort
# As compared to some other polycarbonate corrugated sheet products.
How it works
UV rays, wind, hail and rain have the potential to make
polycarbonate resins brittle and lose colour over time.
TM
Advanced Weatherguard protects the sheet and
protects from harmful UV radiation.
How it works
Infra red light emitted by the sun passes through
polycarbonate sheet making it warm underneath.
Comfort Cool™ Technology reflects the heat away whilst
letting visible light through with less glare.

CAUTION – To maximise the life of your Laserlite roofing, Laserlite recommends
to avoid exposing your polycarbonate sheeting to excess heat from patio heaters.
Laserlite recommends a distance of 1m is kept between the sheets and the
heater, adequate ventilation at all times and temperature to be below 90ºC
beneath the sheeting. If temperature underneath your sheet rises above 90ºC,
immediately remove the patio heater from underneath the polycarbonate sheeting.
1. Ensure that the UV surface protected side
faces the sun. This is the side of the label and
the inkjet marking. When installed as a wall or
fence it is recommended that the UV protected
side is facing the most sun. The life of the
sheet may be shortened and discolouration
may occur due to the unprotected side being
exposed to UV radiation.
