SUNPAL® MULTIWALL POLYCARBONATE ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEM

Versatile, functional standing-seam glazing system

SUNPAL is an advanced multiwall polycarbonate panel system that enables architects to incorporate natural light, thermal insulation, and structural strength into skylights, facades, and flat or curved roof designs.

Engineered to be lightweight and leak-proof, withstand very high loads, and accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, SUNPAL is ideal for long-term use in commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
 
SUNPAL is an architecturally specified system that is not stocked in retail locations. If you are an architect, engineer, designer or commercial builder please contact Palram for information, design assistance, and path to purchase.

Legend:

LT (Light Transmission) = The percentage of incident visible light that passes through an object.

SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) = The percentage of incident solar radiation transmitted by an object, which includes the direct solar transmission and the part of the solar absorption radiated inward.

SC (Shading Coefficient) = The amount of the sun’s heat transmitted through a given window compared with that of a standard 3mm thick single pane of glass under the same conditions.
