Clear corrugated plastic roofing sheets and UV damage
 

Replaced a car porch roof a few years ago and now the plastic corrugated
roof has gone opaque due to sun damage. Does anyone know if you can get UV
resistant corrugated sheet that stays clear?


Thanks

Answering my own question

Checked Screwfix and it mentions Vistalux brand which is UV resistant though
this seems 50% more expensive than the stuff at Wickes

Don't birds feet cause scratching over the years?

No - that would be alien spacecraft

The scratches
attract dirt and it all ends up looking opaque anyway whatever the UV
resistance.

Need something hard like glass.

Which would shatter if a stone landed on it ?

Really ...


OP - you can get fibreglass corrugated sheets, or use something like
twinwall instead
