Macrolux - Bronze Opal

Macrolux Bronze/Opal is a high performance 2 in 1 polycarbonate sheet specifically designed for the rapidly expanding conservatory market. This sheet is supplied as a two-tone sheet (bronze/opal) with the bronze side to face outwards towards the sun and opal (white) to face inwards. When installed this provides a ready made conservatory ceiling which results in a brighter internal appearance even on a dull day and gives a far greater degree of privacy than other traditional glazing materials.

During the manufacture of Macrolux Bronze - Opal, two layers of high concentration and medium concentration UV absorber are co-extruded onto the surface of the sheet forming a barrier against UV radiation. This gives Macrolux Bronze - Opal exceptional resistance to ageing enabling us to guarantee the sheet for 10 years. The combination of colours also reduces heat build up by 10 to 15 degrees-one of the most important factors in the design of a conservatory.

Although light in weight, Macrolux sheet is approximately 200 times stronger than glass and virtually shatterproof.
