1. Core material classification (suitable for different scenarios)

FRP shading panels (the mainstream model in the market)
With glass fiber reinforced plastic as the base material, it is currently the most widely used category in the market. It has excellent weather resistance, anti-corrosion properties and flame retardancy, with outstanding cost-effectiveness. It offers a wide range of designs and can perfectly match various color steel sheets, suitable for mainstream scenarios such as industrial plants, warehouses, and steel structure buildings. Its service life can reach 15-20 years (for high-quality products, it can reach 30 years).
2. PC lighting tiles (mid-to-high end model)
It is made of polycarbonate material. Its core advantages include high strength, high light transmittance (close to that of glass), extremely strong impact resistance (not prone to breaking), and resistance to yellowing. It also has better weather resistance. It is mainly used in greenhouse sheds, high-end building skylights, and awnings, etc., in scenarios that require high light transmittance and quality. Its service life can reach 15-20 years.
3. PVC/PP shading panels (economy model)
It has outstanding cost-effectiveness, with low price, easy processing, and sufficient light transmission to meet basic requirements. However, its weather resistance is average, with a service life of 5 to 10 years. It is suitable for simple sheds, agricultural greenhouses, temporary buildings, etc., in scenarios where the quality requirements are not high.
II. Core Product Advantages (Key Selling Points of the Website)

Energy conservation and consumption reduction: By replacing artificial lighting with natural lighting, electricity consumption for lighting can be reduced by 30% to 60%, which is in line with the concept of green buildings.
Weather-resistant and anti-aging: The surface is all coated with UV-resistant coating/UV-blocking film, which can effectively block 99% of ultraviolet rays, delaying aging, yellowing and brittleness, and is suitable for long-term outdoor use.
Lightweight and easy to install: Its weight is only half that of glass and one-tenth that of cement tiles. It is easy to cut and can be installed in the same pattern and with the same joints as color steel tiles. The construction efficiency is high, significantly reducing the roof's load-bearing pressure.
Safe and durable: High strength, good toughness, resistant to wind and hail, unlikely to crack; the flame retardant level can reach B1 grade, with no molten droplets during combustion and low smoke emission, making it safer to use.
Anti-corrosion and resistant to acid and alkali: Resistant to salt fog and chemical corrosion, suitable for corrosive environments such as coastal areas, chemical plants, and breeding sheds.
III. Common Specifications and Parameters (Suitable for Various Buildings)
The shape and thickness can be customized as per your requirements. The following are the industry-standard specifications for your convenience in selection:
Model: 840, 860, 900, 950, 1050, 760, 475, etc. It is compatible with the color steel sheet model and no additional adaptation is required.
Thickness: 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm (Special thicknesses can be customized as needed).
- Color: Transparent, milky white, light blue, grass green, etc. (Can be customized according to the architectural style.)
- Length: Can be cut as needed. The standard single piece length is 6 meters. Customized ultra-long sizes are also available.
IV. Extensive Application Scenarios
- Industrial buildings: Factory buildings, warehouses, logistics center roof light strips (the most common scenario).
Agricultural facilities: Greenhouse sheds, breeding sheds, and lighting coverage for flower gardens.
- Public buildings: stadiums, stations, farmers' markets, and the canopy covering passageways.
- Civil/Commercial: Self-built house skylights, balcony canopies, car shelters.
- Special scenarios: Buildings with high anti-corrosion requirements such as those in the chemical industry and coastal areas, as well as renovation of old roof surfaces.
V. Key Points for Quality Judgment (Help You Select High-Quality Products)
- From the surface: It is smooth and flat, without bubbles, impurities, or obvious stripes, and the UV-resistant coating is evenly distributed.
- Check the thickness: The actual measurement is in accordance with the full size, with an error of no more than ±0.05mm. There is no case of cutting corners or reducing quality.
- Observe the material: The FRP model has a uniform distribution of glass fibers, without exposed white areas or discontinuities; the PC model has uniform light transmission, without fogging or glare.
- Observe toughness: After bending, it does not turn white or crack, and has strong impact resistance.
Check the warranty: The high-quality FRP has a 10-15 year warranty, while the PC has a 15-20 year warranty. The warranty terms are clearly stated and easily accessible.
