Detailed description
Classic Georgian wire grid pattern design
The tradition grid pattern of the steel mesh imbedded within Georgian glass wire glazing is etched directly to the surface of the polycarbonate alternative, the difference in appearance is almost indistinguishable.
Lightweight
Polycarbonate is less than half the weight of glass providing clear advantages in transport, fabrication and installation while increasing safety.
High strength and impact resistance
Unlike glass polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable. Georgian wire polycarbonate has 250 times the impact resistance of glass.
Optical transparency
Clear Georgian wire polycarbonate has optical transparency with high light transmission.
Weather resistant
High performance against the elements is ensured with a ten year limited warranty against loss of impact and UV discolouration.
Good heat resistance and fire rating
Georgian wire polycarbonate has high temperature stability with no loss of property from -40°C to 130°C and a Class1Y fire rating. For more information please see product specification.

Customs, import taxes and duties
Our checkout meets US and Canadian customs and import requirements in full, so there are no surprises once your order ships. All orders are sent Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) — we collect and pay all import taxes and duties on your behalf, so your order arrives at your door with nothing more to pay.
Can I collect my order from Simply Plastics?
Yes, of course. Orders can be collected from our premises in Colchester, Essex. At the final stage of the checkout process there is a delivery option labelled "Collection/pickup" which is free. Once your order is complete, you will be notified by email along with our address and collection times.
I need my order urgently, can I pay for faster shipping?
Yes. We offer an express delivery service which aims to deliver all orders in 1-3 working days. Orders are delivered by a recognised courier company and may require a signature on delivery.
Do you have a minimum order charge or small order fee?
This is a question we are asked fairly regularly due to the previlance of either a minimum order charge or small order fee within the industry.
At Simply Plastics our approach has always been to treat all orders equally, small or large. We want all customers, new and existing, to be able to place orders with us confident that they are only paying for the products and materials that they require. We therefore do not have a minimum order charge or small order fee.
How can I calculate the weight of a Polycarbonate Panel?
All of the different types of plastics that are available on our website, whether they be a panel, a disc, tube or rod, show the weight of the piece you require once you have entered your dimensions, shown in grams or kg.
The weight of any plastic can be calculated using the simple formula: Weight = Volume x Density
Read our blog post on how to calculate the weight of a variety of different plastics covering panels, discs, road and tube.
