PC Solid Sheet vs Glass Comparison
PC Solid Sheet weight is about 1/3 of same specification glass, while price is about 2-3 times. For example, PC Solid Sheet with 4.5mm thickness can be purchased at the same price as approximately 10mm glass thickness.
At the same thickness, PC Solid Sheet in high frequency sound insulation effect is better than glass. Today, there are also special functional glass like tempered glass, and glass construction danger has been greatly reduced, but even tempered glass can shatter entirely under strong wind or earthquake, and even special glass can cause hazards when shattered. PC Solid Sheet does not have this problem. PC Solid Sheet strength is 250 times that of ordinary glass, and 50-100 times stronger than tempered glass. PC Solid Sheet has strong toughness, even if hit with a hammer, there is no risk of shattering, making it an excellent building material for areas with frequent earthquakes and strong winds.
When glass is used as building material, it is often bonded to combine two thinner sheets into one thicker sheet. The intermediate adhesive film may become brittle after long-term sun exposure, causing safety hazards. Additionally, when glass is used as building material, silicone and other adhesives are often used for sealing and bonding. Silicone will harden and become brittle over time, causing insufficient adhesion in the bonded area, making glass susceptible to breakage under external impact or strong wind, resulting in casualties or property damage. In coastal areas, buildings face stronger wind forces from typhoons, so glass is less used. In Japan, due to frequent earthquakes, buildings often use PC Solid Sheet as daylighting material.
Due to cheap PC Solid Sheet on the market often using recycled materials to reduce production costs and compete on price, ignoring quality, people get the impression that PC Solid Sheet easily yellows and is not durable. However, high-quality all-new raw material PC Solid Sheet can guarantee more than 10 years of durable use.
Compared with glass, PC Solid Sheet has a larger thermal expansion coefficient, about 3-6 times that of glass. Glass is more prone to breakage but has higher hardness than PC sheet, with less issues of scratches or haze from transportation damage. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Glass with smoother surface is less prone to dust accumulation.

Light transmittance is about 5% less than glass. Therefore, in scenic spots and observation decks that emphasize scenery rather than safety, glass is the choice of most people. But in areas that emphasize safety, such as daylighting balconies, garages, and places with frequent human traffic or activities below, PC Solid Sheet is truly the best choice for construction.
