normally will aluminium frame be installed around the edge of polycarbonate?

for polycarbonate, which side usually expose to the sun and rain, rough or smooth surface ?

The Textured Side will face downwards.
It work to diffused the Light

Every Contractor has their own sets of Skills.

Usually Yes, there will be Aluminium at the Edge.
Lexan* Grade of MWS, would have round edge on the side end, which you do not need to cover.

You should pay attention to the Top and Bottom End, which need the Anti-Dust Tape & Aluminium to protect it

what if my contractor put the smooth surface downside then any impact ?

Hi,

All Polycarbonate require a MIN 3 degree slope to allow rain water to flow.
Best Scenario would be 7 degree or more

2 things may happen

Lexan* Grade has an UV Coating on the Smooth Surface.
We able to coat on the smooth surface not the textured surface.
Therefore, if the textured Surface are facing the Sun, it will gradually turn yellow and break after a period of time.

Secondly, water and dirt will retain at the groove of the Textured surface.
The Sheet will gradually stains ( Polycarbonate WITHOUT Coatings has poor chemical resistant).
Eventually, you will loose you Light Transmission.

Hope this helps.
