Thickness calculator
It’s quick and easy to find the correct thickness of the sheet material you intend to use with our thickness calculator.
It works like this:
- Identify the plastic sheet material you want to use.
- Whether you are going to mount the sheet vertically or horizontally will affect the calculation so view the right table.
- Find the dimensions of the sheet you require in the table.
- The thickness calculator will give you the correct thickness for the dimensions of the sheet.

Please note:
- We calculate the thicknesses in our thickness calculator on the basis of small spans that are subject to little wind force.
- We are assuming that the plastic sheets are properly fixed all round with glue, screws, slats or clamps.
- Plastic sheet material will always “give” slightly.
- Plexiglass ( acrylic sheet ) is not suitable for balcony screens because of the risk of breaking. Choose polycarbonate when installing balcony
- screens as this material is almost unbreakable.
