Want more privacy in your yard without giving up natural light? Choose smoky polycarbonate! With its modern look and elegant bronze or grey shades, it gently filters sunlight without darkening the space. It’s stronger than glass, easier to install, and won’t fade over time thanks to its UV protection.
Our range includes exactly what you need: solid polycarbonate sheets, corrugated polycarbonate, or multiwall panels—all available in a smoky variant. These are durable, safe materials with up to 10 years warranty and certified fire resistance.
With the right accessories, you can easily transform a pergola, carport, or even your home’s fence into a space full of personality—without investing in bulky or expensive structures. Elegance, privacy, and protection, all in one practical solution.
Why Choose Smoky Polycarbonate?
Smoky tones reduce solar glare and enhance visual comfort in sun-exposed areas while maintaining a pleasant level of natural light, even on the brightest days. You get the perfect balance between shade and brightness in your covered space.
Even more, polycarbonate is a highly versatile material, allowing for creative designs that are difficult to achieve with traditional materials.
Technical Advantages:
-
UV protection on both sides (for solid polycarbonate) — color won’t fade.
-
High impact resistance — significantly stronger than glass, ideal for areas exposed to harsh weather.
-
Lightweight and quick to install — requires less robust support structures.
-
Fire-rated and 100% recyclable.
-
Controls natural light — lets light in without full transparency.
This unique combination of qualities makes smoky polycarbonate a versatile choice. Lightweight and easy to install, it works well with simple structures. Its bronze or grey hues complement both wood and metal, blending beautifully into the design of a modern garden or terrace.
Practical Applications for Your Yard or Garden
A high-performance material deserves to be showcased. On a pergola, a few smoky panels provide gentle shade and protect furniture from UV rays—while still keeping the space airy and open.
For carports, corrugated polycarbonate shields your vehicle from hail and reduces heat buildup. The panels are light and can quickly cover large surfaces, making them an efficient solution for various applications.
In the garden, greenhouses can use 6–10 mm bronze multiwall polycarbonate. The cellular structure offers better thermal insulation, and the smoky tint helps reduce heat accumulation on sunny days.
Other ideas:
-
Semi-opaque fence panels for stylish boundaries
-
Smoky roofs for restaurant terraces where visual comfort matters
-
Skylights in industrial buildings or pedestrian walkways, offering soft light without glare
In all these scenarios, the profiles and accessories available in Pintaplast’s portfolio ensure proper installation and a clean finish. Our technical team can also recommend the right accessories for a durable and efficient setup.
Selection & Installation Guide for Impeccable Results
The intended use of the space should guide your material choice.
For areas prone to mechanical impacts, go for 6–8 mm solid smoky polycarbonate.
If weight is a concern, choose multiwall panels.
For low-pitch roofs and budget-friendly installation, opt for corrugated polycarbonate, compatible with Greca profiles.
Key steps for proper installation:
-
Leave a thermal expansion gap of at least 3 mm per meter in all directions
-
Install panels with the UV-protected side facing out (label visible)
-
Use H and U profiles made of polycarbonate or aluminum for joints and edges
-
Seal ends with special tape and EPDM gaskets to prevent condensation
-
Use self-drilling screws with protective caps for a neat finish
Following these guidelines extends the lifespan of the cladding and keeps the smoky tone looking consistent. Matching fastening profiles are available for easy, aesthetic installation.
Smoky polycarbonate instantly transforms any outdoor space into a private, elegant, and protected area. Choose from solid, corrugated, or multiwall options based on your project’s needs, complete the installation with dedicated accessories, and enjoy a long-term solution with up to 10 years warranty.
