What materials and sizes are available for roof panels?
Supply Ontime carries corrugated polycarbonate, foam-core polycarbonate, and PVC panels. Typical sizes are 26 in. × 8–12 ft with 29-gauge thickness. Clear panels transmit light for patio covers, while Castle Gray or tinted options provide shade. These panels are durable and lightweight, making them easy to transport and install. They can be combined with matching fasteners and trims for a complete system.
Are polycarbonate panels suitable for LA’s climate?
Yes. Corrugated polycarbonate panels resist UV degradation and handle temperature swings from summer heat to cool evenings, making them ideal for sunrooms, carports, and pergolas. PVC panels are budget-friendly for sheds but may yellow with prolonged sun exposure. Polycarbonate also withstands hail and heavy rain, offering reliable protection. Homeowners often choose tinted styles to reduce glare while still allowing filtered light.
Do you offer cutting or special-order lengths?
Panels are sold in standard lengths but can be cut on site using circular saws with fine-tooth blades. Supply Ontime does not custom-cut panels but can special-order longer lengths for large commercial projects; contact customer service for lead times. Standard cutting instructions are included with each order for easier handling. Customers can also request advice on matching trims or accessories.
How does delivery work for large roof panels?
Supply Ontime delivers panels on flat-bed trucks. Same-day delivery within Los Angeles is available, but panels must be unloaded onto a flat surface. Ensure driveways have clearance for 12-ft sheets and note any steep drives or tight turns. Delivery crews can assist with placement near the work area if conditions allow. Customers are advised to prepare enough space for staging materials before arrival.
