🏠 Understanding Roof Pitch: Why the Right Angle Matters for Your Roofing Project 🛠️

When planning your roofing project—whether it’s a garden pergola, carport, lean-to, or commercial walkway—one of the most critical factors to get right is the pitch (slope) of your roof. At The Polycarbonate Store, we often get asked “Can I install a flat roof?” and our answer is always the same: We strongly recommend a minimum pitch of 10 degrees for the best results—even though some manufacturers list a minimum of 5 degrees.

🌧️ Why You Should Avoid a Flat Roof
While a flat roof might seem simpler to build, it comes with a list of headaches:
• Water pooling: Without proper drainage, rainwater will sit on the surface, leading to material fatigue or even collapse over time.
• Leaks and seal failure: Standing water increases the chance of water ingress, especially around fixings and joints.
• Moss and debris build-up: A lack of slope makes it easier for leaves, grime, and algae to settle and stay, shortening the life of your roof.

A pitched roof (preferably 10° or more) allows for:
✅ Proper water run-off
✅ Cleaner appearance over time
✅ Increased durability and performance
✅ Warranty protection in line with product guidance

Whether you're going for a multiwall polycarbonate roof or a sleek Ez Glaze finish, a proper pitch is not optional—it’s essential. It’s the difference between a roof that performs for years and one that causes constant problems.

🔍 What’s the Difference Between Polycarbonate, PVC & Acrylic?

If you're choosing the right plastic sheeting for your project, it's important to know how each material performs. Here’s a quick breakdown from the experts at The Polycarbonate Store UK 👇

✅ Polycarbonate
Tough, impact-resistant, class 1 fire rating and virtually unbreakable – ideal for outdoor use like greenhouses, roofing, or safety glazing. With high UV resistance, it’s built to last in all weather. 💪

✅ PVC
A cost-effective option for signage, cladding, and DIY. It’s lightweight, flame-retardant, and easy to work with, though not as impact resistant as polycarbonate. Great for indoors or temporary solutions. 🔧

✅ Acrylic
Clear and glossy – perfect when looks matter! Often used in displays, windows, and décor. Acrylic is rigid and has excellent optical clarity, but it’s more prone to cracking than polycarbonate. ✨

📦 Whether you're looking for strength, clarity, or affordability, we stock a wide range of plastic sheet options to suit every need.
