Georgian Wire Effect Polycarbonate

It is printed on the surface. There is no wire inside the sheet. The Georgian grid is printed on one side of an embossed 6mm solid polycarbonate sheet to give the look of traditional wired glass. Being solid polycarbonate, it is far tougher than wired glass and about half the weight, and it cuts and drills like any other solid sheet.

Yes. The Georgian grid is printed on one side only, over an embossed surface, so one face carries the pattern and the other is plain embossed polycarbonate. Fit the printed face inside, where the weather cannot reach it, unless we advise otherwise. The face marked by the protective film is the UV-protected side and goes outwards. The pattern does not change the sheet's strength.

One thickness only: 6mm. We supply it as a standard 2050x3050mm sheet or cut to your measurements, and it comes in no other gauge or colour. Check the rebate depth of your existing frame before ordering a replacement pane. Cut pieces are made to order and non-returnable, with a cutting tolerance of plus or minus 5mm.

Yes, the look only. Georgian wire effect polycarbonate gives the appearance of wired glass for heritage rooflights, partitions and signage, without wire in it, and it is much harder to break. It is rated Class 1 for surface spread of flame, like other Palsun sheets, but it has no fire-resistance rating. Do not use it where wired glass was fitted for fire protection.

Slightly. The embossed surface diffuses the light and softens the view through the sheet, and the printed grid takes up a little of the area, so it passes less light than a plain clear 6mm sheet. No exact figure is published. For a rooflight or partition where you want the wired glass look rather than a clear view, that is usually acceptable.
