The embossed texture scatters light as it passes through, so you get soft, even daylight instead of the sharp shadows and bright patches a flat clear sheet gives. Light is slightly reduced and the view through is blurred, which gives privacy. It suits windows, porch roofs and screens where you want light but not a clear view.
Yes. Glare comes from direct sunlight passing straight through a clear sheet, and the embossed surface breaks that up into diffused light. Under an embossed roof or screen you get a softer, more even brightness with less dazzle. The trade-off is that you lose the clear view, so it is not right where you want to see the sky or garden.
Both sides. Our 4mm and 6mm embossed sheets are the standard Palsun embossed finish, which is textured on both faces. Matte and prismatic finishes are textured on one side with a smooth face, but we do not stock those. The texture makes no difference to impact or weather resistance, and light scratches show less on a textured face than on a flat clear sheet.
We stock embossed solid polycarbonate in 4mm and 6mm, both cut to your measurements. The wider Palsun embossed range runs from 1.5mm to 8mm, but those are the two we hold. For a small window, screen or door panel 4mm is the usual choice; for a porch roof or a larger unsupported panel, 6mm is stiffer. Cut sheets are made to order and non-returnable.
No. Embossed sheet keeps the impact and weather resistance of standard solid polycarbonate, and it carries the same Class 1 surface spread of flame rating. The texture only changes how light passes through and how the surface looks. One practical benefit is that light scratches show less on a textured face than on a flat clear sheet.
