Sunlight (UV) and exterior weathering:

  • UV stabilised Makrolon Polycarbonate.
  • Independently lab tested by Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ). 
  • Results show minimal structural/tensile deterioration of the mesh after 2000 hours of continuous testing in New Zealand’s harshest UV conditions—some of the toughest in the world. 
  • All colours are light fastened, mineral-based pigments to maintain colour and recyclability. Real world full external exposure testing after 8 years, shows 95% original strength.

Tensile strength and impact resistance:

  • Astron burst testing with a point load area of approx. 32mm on small 140 x 140mm samples show a peak resistance of 279kg.
  • Note: The accumulated strength of seamless mesh increases proportionately with the size of the panel

Drag coefficient:

  • Cd = 0.8, which is 40% less than an equivalent two-dimensional or woven mesh. 
  • Full wind tunnel test results for all angles available.
