Textured Polycarbonate Sheet
Embossed patterns rolled into the surface — privacy, grip and glare control without losing strength.
Textured polycarbonate carries a pattern embossed by the calender roll as the sheet leaves the die. Because the texture is formed in the melt rather than applied afterwards, it is part of the sheet and cannot wear away.
Different patterns solve different problems: prismatic textures redirect light, diamond and stucco patterns obscure the view, and coarse textures add grip underfoot.

Minimum order and lead time
This grade ships from 100 m² or 1 tonne — a trial pallet, not a full container. Standard sizes and stock colours run in 7–10 days; non-standard thickness or width in 12–18 days; add 3–7 days for CNC cut-to-size work. Quoted in USD on FOB, CIF or DDP terms.

Questions buyers ask
Will the texture wear off?
No. It is embossed into the sheet during extrusion, unlike printed or laminated patterns which do wear.
Can you produce a custom pattern?
Yes, for volume orders — a custom embossing roll is a tooling investment, so it makes sense above a certain annual quantity. Tell us your expected volume and we will quote the tooling separately.
Does texturing reduce strength?
No measurable reduction. Light transmission drops slightly with pattern depth; impact performance is unchanged.
