sonylsp, can PM me your contact and company as well? I'm looking for a contractor to inspect my existing poly carbonate roof (with minor leaking) and recommendation to whether repair or replace.

My house has a solid poly and now I changed to hollow 2 wall type. I found that the hollow is much much noisier than the solid one. Has anyone have a similar experience? Or any poly expert here can confirm this fact? Becos now I'm not sure if i need to change back to solid one.

It already mention and inform here that poly is noisy when rain.

Doesn't matter which type using.

thanks for ur reply bro. I agree that pc roof won't give u silent treatment when the rain water hits. I meant has anyone expereienced significant noise different between these 2 types of polycarbonate sheet.

Used Hollow sheet for porch previously. now having backyard in Solid PC and porch is using ACP

I would agree the noise is less with Solid sheet.  ACP is even better as the polyethylene core absorb significant amount of noise.
Can i ask why did you change to hollow sheet? it's actually changing to a not so good option.

Hollow is better for heat absorption (I tot will be good for indoor), but I didn't know it produces louder noise when the rain hits on it until I experienced myself. So far the vendors I came across didn't talk about this point.
