For designers and architects aiming to blend durability with sustainability across diverse settings, clear-PEP ECO panels for exterior applications offer a versatile solution.
Crafted to withstand outdoor conditions, these panels are equally suited for striking interior applications, providing flexibility in design. With options in translucent finishes and various colors, clear-PEP ECO panels allow for unique, eco-conscious enhancements that bring both style and resilience to any environment, whether indoors or out.
Unmatched durability for exterior projects
clear-PEP ECO panels are designed to withstand the elements without compromising their visual appeal. Each panel features a robust polycarbonate core, known for its high-impact resistance and durability under extreme weather conditions. The addition of UV inhibitors ensures longevity, making these panels well-suited for installations exposed to direct sunlight. This advanced material composition not only extends the lifespan of exterior projects but also preserves color vibrancy and clarity, essential qualities for designs meant to make lasting impressions.
UV-Protected Acrylic Facings
One of the defining features of clear-PEP ECO panels is the option for UV-resistant PMMA facings, ideal for vertical applications. PMMA, an acrylic material with excellent optical properties, further enhances the panel’s durability while maintaining its visual appeal. However, due to PMMA’s lower impact resistance, it’s primarily recommended for vertical installations like facades or sunscreens, where the impact risk is minimal. This variation allows designers to select the perfect panel type for specific design requirements, balancing aesthetics with practicality.
Lightweight & customizable design
Outdoor projects often require materials that are not only resilient but also easy to work with. clear-PEP ECO panels are crafted with lightweight thermoplastics, allowing for easier handling and installation in various configurations. From suspended canopies to extensive facades, these panels can be incorporated into a range of designs with minimal structural support, thanks to their high flexural strength. The customizable aspect of clear-PEP ECO panels makes them adaptable to diverse color schemes and textures, with options for translucent, transparent, and textured finishes. This range of choices enables designers to achieve distinct effects, such as light diffusion or color-specific backlighting, adding depth and character to exterior spaces.
Textured surface for light diffusion
A unique element of clear-PEP ECO satin panels is their satinated facings. This texture is not just for aesthetic appeal; it enhances the scattering and diffusion of light, creating a soft glow in backlit applications. When applied in sunscreens, facades, or canopies, these satinated panels interact with natural light to produce dynamic effects throughout the day, transforming outdoor spaces into immersive visual experiences. Whether the goal is a gentle, diffused light effect or a vibrant burst of color, these panels can be tailored to suit a variety of lighting needs.
Practical applications for modern outdoor design
The versatility of clear-PEP ECO panels shines through in their wide array of exterior applications:
- Canopies: Ideal for providing shade while allowing soft light to filter through, clear-PEP ECO canopies add both function and beauty to exterior spaces. The honeycomb core structure adds strength, enabling these panels to span longer distances without the need for frequent supports.
- Sunshades: With customizable translucency and UV-resistant materials, clear-PEP ECO sunshades are perfect for reducing direct sunlight in outdoor lounges or entryways. Their light-diffusing properties also create comfortable shaded areas that still feel open and airy.
- Facade Panels and Fins: These panels are an excellent choice for building facades, where durability and design meet. The polycarbonate facings provide impact resistance while maintaining a sleek, modern look, adding a striking architectural feature that also offers thermal insulation.
Sustainability and high-performance material options
Beyond durability and aesthetics, clear-PEP ECO panels are engineered with sustainability in mind. The polycarbonate core, made with bio-circular content, boasts a low carbon footprint. Facings made of 100% recycled PMMA (R-MMA) allow the panels to contribute to eco-friendly building practices without compromising on quality or visual appeal.
Panel Options
- clear-PEP ECO PC clear: This panel features a patented TRIcore polycarbonate structure that imparts rigidity and a unique visual depth, perfect for transparent applications where clarity is key. Made with bio-based materials, this option not only supports sustainable building goals but is also 100% recyclable.
- clear-PEP ECO color: Available in striking standard and premium colors, these panels add personality to exterior projects. The 100% recycled PMMA facings deliver excellent optical clarity and UV resistance, making them suitable for both bold architectural accents and cohesive color themes.
- clear-PEP ECO satin: For applications that demand subtle elegance, the satin finish offers a refined, frosted effect. With options like Clear Haze, Orange Zest, and Blue Spark, designers can craft spaces that feel both contemporary and approachable. The satin finish also works well in environments where soft, diffused lighting is desired.
- clear-PEP ECO PC stage: Built for durability and visual impact, the PC stage option combines polycarbonate TRIcore with bio-circular facing layers, achieving an environmentally friendly yet high-performing panel. This model is ideal for structural and design projects requiring both strength and sustainability.

Installation flexibility and design potential
The lightweight composition of clear-PEP ECO panels translates to design freedom, enabling architects to experiment with non-traditional shapes and configurations in their exterior projects. The flexibility of these panels allows them to adapt to various structural needs, from sweeping curves to angular forms. In addition to traditional horizontal and vertical installations, they can be mounted in customized patterns to create unique geometric facades or layered to produce depth and shadow.
