If you’ve been searching for the ultimate way to stay comfortable throughout all seasons, Laserlite Polycarbonate 3000 is always a great option. Laserlite 3000 polycarbonate roofing is purpose designed for outdoor living and built for Australian conditions .
Laserlite 3000 is the only roofing option with Comfort Cool Technology. These special properties allow up to 50% better heat reduction than a standard Polycarbonate sheet, reducing glare for maximum comfort.
So, how can these roofing sheets extend your outdoor lifestyle for the family, and what profiles and colour options are available? This article will be a comprehensive guide to a Laserlite style that could be the perfect addition to your home.
Understanding Laserlite 3000
Available in various profiles and colours, Laserlite Polycarbonate Roofing has excellent tensile strength, yield stress, and impact strength. With 99.9% UV protective material, this roofing also extends the life of sheeting up to 50%, resists 25% larger hailstones, and maintains sheet clarity and colour for up to 50% longer!
Let’s explore each of these benefits in greater detail.
UV protection
Preventing the transmission of more than 99.9% of the sun’s UV radiation, Laserlite 3000 has a UV barrier that protects it from UV discolouration and degradation and remains stable under extreme climatic conditions, from -30c to +120c.
Wind load
Suitable to use in high wind load areas, Laserlite 3000 holds its own against cyclones and cyclone-prone areas. For example, Greca and Corrugated profiles meet the requirements of AS.1170.2.2002 SAA Loading Code Part 2.

Laserlite 3000 Profiles
Unlike Laserlite 2000, Laserlite 3000 has two profile options.
Corrugated. Often made from metal such as galvanised aluminium, steel, or zinc, polycarbonate corrugated (also known as Roma) Laserlite 2000 is heavily resistant to weather elements. These sheets have alternating grooves, creating a series of rivets appealing to many homeowners. Not only does this add strength, but it is critical for preventing water damage!
Greca. Greca is made from polycarbonate thermoplastic and prevents water drainage as a corrugated roofing profile. Easily allow natural lighting to an outdoor space!
Laserlite 2000 Profiles
Compared to Laserlite 3000, Laserlite 2000 has a unique profile option for your property.
Trimdeck. With a ribbed design and raised sections, Trimdeck–or 5-rib–profiles are rigid, have wider coverage, superior water drainage, and direct water away from the centre of the sheet. They can be used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Often made from steel or aluminium, you can expect a strong roof with great weather resistance!
