Neon Lights Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I was wondering if there was anywhere in Shetland that sells polycarbonate sheets. Looking for something approximately 25mm thick if possibly, the thicker the better really. Size of the sheet required is approximately 1.2m x 1.8m Anyone know if there is a local supplier?

EM Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Might be worthwhile giving Andrew Tait a call. He's not a stockist, but usually has a sizeable stock of all sorts of interesting sheeting for his CNC machining business in Burra. http://www.cam-craft.com The contact page seems to be broken just now, so here are the firm's details: CAMcraftSandvikBridge End, BurraShetland, ZE2 9LD andrew@cam-craft.comTel: 01595 859040Mobile: 07900 950714 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 When our polyunnel was erected two years ago, the builder bought the polycarbonate sheets from LBC who, I think, brought them into Lerwick as a special purchase. It might be worth going there and asking. The fact that they are under new ownership might work in your favour as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joenorth Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Recently bought polycarbonate roofing sheets. The price Hays gave was almost a third of the price from LBC, so went with Hays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RileyBKing Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Try the Glass Centre @ Gremista, they also cut to size for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marooned in Maywick Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Looking for something approximately 25mm thick if possibly, the thicker the better really. Size of the sheet required is approximately 1.2m x 1.8m That's about 70 kg-worth. And sorry, I don't know any local suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Lights Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I don't think it is 70kg worth, I think you have got your sums wrong somewhere I'm afraid. I think the 35mm stuff I saw online was approximately 4kg per square meter. This meant the sheet I was looking to buy was 8-9kg in total. It is a very lightweight product, basically hollow and full of air!! The firm I look at online just quoted me £70 delivery charge. So yeah, I think trying Hays will be my next port of call (it should likely have been my first!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbiniho Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 your first post asked about polycarb sheet which is 25mm thick and would weigh roughly in the region of 70kg now you are asking about "tripple wall" sheeting which as you say is hollow and full of air, hays would be the best bet you can get the sheets pretty big the last sheets i worked with were about 2.5m square so they should easilly be able to get you the size you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Lights Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 See link below http://www.polycarbdirect.co.uk/product_list_poly.php?id=50 I thought I had the name correct the first time. Anyway that's not the issue. Whatever it's called I wil try Hays and see how I get on. Thanks for your help everyone! Much appreciated.
