In the late 1960’s, Röhm, the world leader in acrylic
technology, began developing a sheet product ideally suited for
the construction industry – specifically for commercial greenhouses
in Europe. By the early 1970’s the first large commercial greenhouses
were being covered with this new UV stable light transmitting insulated
sheet and by 1982 twenty million square feet of acrylic double-skinned
sheet had been incorporated into commercial greenhouses around the
world.
In 1999 a polymer was developed which enabled the product to withstand
impact from falling objects and job site mishandling. With this
new capability and backed by a hail warranty, the DEGLAS IMPACT
sheet can now be used in a much wider range of applications and
geographic regions. The development of this polymer product also
led to the creation of a tough single skin wave profile sheet.
In recent years the usage of these products has increased significantly
in Europe’s residential construction markets. And now the products
that made this construction boom possible are available and stocked
in North America.
