Why Polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate windows have many advantages over glass and Perspex alternatives.

• Polycarbonate has a mass density of 1.21kg/m³, just under half that of glass at 2.5kg/m³.
• Polycarbonate is shatter resistant, unlike glass, Perspex and other acrylic derivatives.
• Polycarbonate is 250x stronger than glass and considerably stronger than Perspex

Safety is paramount when racing. Polycarbonate windows remove the risk of sharp glass or acrylic/perspex splinters filling the cabin in the unfortunate event of an accident.
