💨 Why Vented Tape Is a Must for Polycarbonate in the PNW
In Oregon and Washington, the weather is damp and rainy.If you're using twin-wall polycarbonate, vented tape is not optional — it's essential.
💧 Stops Moisture from Building Up
Polycarbonate sheets have hollow channels inside.Without vented tape, water can get in and stay trapped.This causes fogging, algae, and even mold.
🌬️ Lets Air Flow, Not Dirt
Vented tape lets air pass through but blocks dust, bugs, and debris.It helps keep your sheets clean from the inside out.
🌡️ Keeps Your Panels Clear and Warm
When moisture stays out, your panels look better and work better.They insulate properly and let in light — even during wet Northwest winters.
🔚 Use It on the Bottom Edge
Always seal the bottom edge of each sheet with vented tape.Use solid tape for the top edge — that’s the combo that works best.
