Clear polycarbonate gives the same tested impact protection as aluminum while letting daylight through. That matters when a system stalls and a house is buttoned up for three days.
Flat monolithic sheet — commonly called Lexan — is the premium version. It is permanently installed over fixed, non-operable windows and stays nearly invisible from inside.

Frequently asked questions
Does polycarbonate scratch or yellow?
We use a UV-stable grade with a hard coat. Wash with mild soap and water only — solvents and dry wiping are what cause hazing.
Can I mix clear and aluminum panels?
Most projects do. Clear on the rooms you occupy, aluminum on bedrooms and secondary openings keeps the budget in line.
