Cold Bended Sheets

In particular Policarb® is used to build integral arc structures (green house tunnel type) since its alveolar structure increases the rigidity of the sheet longitudinally bent at its ribs.

It is recommended not to go under the bending radius of load charts.

FIXED SHEETS, COLD BENDED ON 4 SIDES

The chart shows max width of sheets in relation to thickness, with the bending radius and with the requested load.

To carry out the bending in an easier way, the length of the sheet has to be bigger than the width.
