Polycarbonate tray in under 5 minutes.

Updated: Dec 22, 2020


Polycarbonate clear tray with handles
It’s easy to make a stylish DIY polycarbonate tray in under five minutes. All you need is an polycarbonate clear solid sheet cut to size by just polycarbonate and a pair of handles.

You’ll need:

A pair of handles of your choice

A power screwdriver

Self-adhesive baize or felt

Masking tape

Step 1: Mark and drill the holes

Apply a piece of masking tape about 3/4in from the edge of the polycarbonate sheet. Measure the distance between the screw holes on the handles and mark this on the piece of masking tape. In our example, there’s a distance of 7in between the holes for the screws. Using a small size drill bit, drill two holes in the polycarbonate sheet.

Step 2: Fixing the handles

Remove the masking tape and apply it to the other side so that you don’t have to measure the distance between the holes again. Drill two more holes, then place the screws into position from below and place the handles on them.

Step 3: Finishing the DIY polycarbonate tray

Turn the polycarbonate sheet over and screw the screws into the handles so that they are securely attached. You can also stick self-adhesive baize to the screw heads, which will prevent your table from getting scratched.

Your easy DIY clear solid polycarbonate tray is now ready!

MAIN PROPERTIES OF MONOLITHIC SHEETS

Monolithic sheets is a material with an excellent combination of physical and mechanical properties, which are retained under various temperature conditions and humidity levels.
 

Polycarbonate sheets are an ideal replacement for traditional glazing materials. They are safe and easy to cut, install and use, almost impossible to break. Due to their low specific weight, polycarbonate sheets can significantly lighten and reduce the cost of the supporting structure in comparison with the structure in which glass is used, contributing to a significant reduction in transportation, handling and installation costs.
 

UV protection

Solar radiation has a detrimental effect on polymeric materials, causing their destruction and causing surface cracking of materials. These small cracks are further enlarged by water, dust and chemicals.

Polycarbonate monolithic sheets of this have a surface with an applied protective layer against ultraviolet radiation, which provides excellent resistance to weathering.
 

Arched glazing

All monolithic polycarbonate sheets are cold-formed into curved supporting glazing profiles. Provided that the bending radius of the sheet is greater than the minimum recommended value, the mechanical stress resulting from cold forming will not affect the mechanical properties of the sheet.

The guaranteed service life of the sheets is 15 years.
