Can this be used in a home to protect walls from wheelchair damage? We have a wheelchair user in our home and occasionally he runs into the walls and leaves a dent behind.
ByDec 24, 2023
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Polycarbonate sheets are known for their impact resistance, so they could offer some protection against wheelchair damage to your walls. However, the 1/4" thick sheet may not be sufficient for significant impacts. You may want to consider a thicker polycarbonate sheet for better protection. Additionally, how you attach the sheet to the wall will impact its effectiveness. Be sure to choose a secure mounting method.

Is this hard enough to use as a carpet protecter for an office chair.?
ByJun 12, 2023
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

While this polycarbonate sheet is durable and impact-resistant, it's not ideally suited as a carpet protector for an office chair. Its smooth surface might cause the chair to roll more easily and potentially damage the carpet underneath. It's also important to consider that the sheet could crack under concentrated weight or if the chair legs have sharp edges. For carpet protection, a chair mat specifically designed for that purpose would be a more suitable option.

The actual dimensions are 24" x 24" x 3/16" thick. Previous answers indicate that the dimensions are 36" x 60" may be incorrect.

We use this on a green room and it is doing an excellent job. I’m glad we chose this thickness. It lets the sunlight through really well. We have had it up for about two months now and I couldn’t be happier.
