Solid Polycarbonate Sheets for B2B Projects
Factory-direct solid PC sheets for glazing, machine guards, roofing, skylights, safety windows and custom fabricated parts. Bakway supplies optical-grade sheets made with 100% virgin Bayer Makrolon and SABIC Lexan resin, with custom cutting, CNC routing and cold-bending support.
Available Specifications and Custom Options
Solid polycarbonate sheet projects often require different width, color, surface and compliance choices. Bakway can match standard sheet supply with project-specific customization, so buyers can confirm appearance and performance before mass production.
Widths and Sheet Sizes
Common production widths include 4 ft, 5 ft, 6 ft and 7 ft. Custom width, cut-to-size length and fabricated parts can be quoted according to drawings, packing limits and installation requirements.
Standard and Custom Colors
Clear, bronze and opal white are common choices for solid PC sheets, with diffuser grades available for lighting and display applications. Custom colors can be developed when the project needs a specific visual match.
Surface Texture Options
Smooth glossy sheet is available for high transparency. Frosted, matte and textured surfaces can be specified when the project needs reduced glare, privacy, light diffusion or a more controlled surface appearance.
Flame Retardant and UV Printing
Custom flame-retardant grades can be discussed for UL94 V-2, V-0 or 5VA requirements. Bakway also has an inline UV printer, allowing text, marks or simple graphics to be printed directly onto the sheet surface.

The Ultimate Alternative to Glass & Acrylic
Bakway solid polycarbonate sheets, often called unbreakable glass, provide the transparency of glass at about half the weight and up to 250 times the impact strength. Unlike acrylic, which can be brittle under impact, solid PC sheet is selected for safety glazing, protective windows, equipment shields and high-traffic environments.
