FAQ’sWhat is Marlon ST Blue?Marlon ST Blue is a transparent multiwall polycarbonate sheet with Cool Light Technology which blocks the heat transmitting near-infra red solar energy from the sun.

Where can Marlon ST Blue used?The product has been designed for use in the roofs of conservatories to reduce the heat build up associated with large areas of glazing.

Why should I install Marlon ST Blue?Heat build up within a conservatory can make the space uncomfortable to use particularly during the summer months. The Cool Light Technology in Marlon ST Blue is capable of reducing internal temperatures by 16% compared to clear glazing material making your conservatory a light, bright and airy space.

How much will it reduce the temperature by?Marlon ST Blue is effective in reducing temperatures by 7°C compared to clear material.

Will Marlon ST Blue make my conservatory dark?The true benefit of Marlon ST Blue is that it is a transparent glazing material which reduces temperature whilst providing quality natural light.

If Marlon ST Blue reduces temperatures will my conservatory will be colder in winter?No, your conservatory will be warm and cosy in winter.

Conservatory Roofs - Polycarbonate v Glass

Ideal for conservatory roofs, polycarbonate is a high performance insulating glazing material which provides the transparency and optical clarity of glass at a fraction of the weight and cost.

• Polycarbonate is incredibly strong with an impact resistance up to 200 times greater than glass.• Multi-wall polycarbonate is highly insulating, the 35mm 7wall structure of Marlon ST Blue has a U value of only 1.2W/m²K.• Light in weight, the support structures need not be as heavy as with glass, offering savings in roof structure and installation costs.• Whilst glass has to be factory finished to specification, polycarbonate is easy to cold curve, cut and trim to size on site. • The Cool Light Technology of Marlon ST Blue reduces heat build up by as much as 7°C. • Tints like Marlon ST Blue, provide improved solar control and 98% of harmful UV solar radiation is eliminated.
