PolyReed: Polycarbonate Hollow Sheet with Reed Stems

I. Core Product Positioning

PolyReed is a newly developed composite panel featuring the design concept of integrating industrial materials with natural textures. It combines polycarbonate hollow sheets and reed stems, reconciling the conflicts among light transmission, privacy and texture of traditional materials. Boasting practical functions and natural aesthetics, it fits a wide range of application scenarios.

II. Core Product Specifications & Production Technology

1. Substrate & Raw Materials
   The panel takes polycarbonate hollow sheet as the base, adopting polycarbonate raw materials from Covestro, SABIC and other renowned brands. A high-concentration anti-UV coating is co-extruded on the sheet surface to deliver excellent weather resistance.
2. Filling Material
   The internal cavities are filled with reed stems processed via peeling, cleaning and fumigation to prevent mildew and deterioration while retaining natural texture and ecological features.
3. Standard Sizes
   Regular dimensions: 1000*2000mm, 2000*2000mm. Custom sizes are available, with maximum width within 2.1m and maximum length within 4m.

III. Key Product Advantages

1. Complementary Functions
   It combines the merits of polycarbonate hollow sheets such as light weight, weather resistance, impact resistance and light transmission, as well as the sun-shading performance and natural texture of reed stems. Soft light spots are formed when sunlight penetrates the panel, which ensures privacy without blocking light and softens the rigid feel of industrial panels.
2. Eco-friendly & Aesthetic
   Reed stems are natural materials, and polycarbonate materials are recyclable. The original texture and curved shape of reeds create unique natural beauty and vivid light and shadow effects, bringing a relaxing and rustic ambiance to spaces.
3. Practical & Easy to Maintain
   There is no need for extra moisture-proof treatment for the reeds. The panel only requires simple wiping for daily upkeep, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

IV. Main Application Scenarios

1. Interior Partitions
   Ideal for tea rooms, restaurants, open offices, residences and other spaces. It divides functional areas while maintaining airiness, serving as a practical and artistic breathable installation.
2. Outdoor Canopies
   Perfect for courtyards, terraces, pavilions and more. Matched with wooden frames, the panels blend harmoniously with outdoor surroundings. They filter harsh sunlight while allowing soft natural light to pass through.
3. Other Applications
   It can be used as a decorative element for building curtain walls and a carrier for illuminated advertising doorheads, balancing structural stability and visual depth.

V. Product Creative Background

This product originated from a DIY idea in 2018, inspired by the concept of injecting natural relaxation into industrial materials. The cavities of polycarbonate hollow sheets are used as containers to hold easily accessible reed stems. The design solves the dilemma of traditional partitions that cannot achieve light transmission and privacy at the same time, and enables industrial panels and natural materials to complement each other in performance and aesthetics.

Sunlight filters through the gaps of reed stems and casts delicate light spots on the ground like flowing brocade. The combination of natural reed and modern polycarbonate hollow sheets retains the vitality of nature while presenting neat industrial aesthetics. The natural curves of reeds create a three-dimensional wavy effect for the partition. When the breeze blows, the rustle of reed stems adds a rustic charm to the space. Meanwhile, polycarbonate hollow sheets guarantee privacy, turning the partition into a breathable work of art.

This design works exceptionally well for transitional spaces such as balconies and tea rooms. The simplicity of reeds softens the cold texture of polycarbonate hollow sheets, and the light transmission of the sheets makes up for the excessive shielding of reeds. At sunset, warm light is split into countless golden rays, forming changing light and shadow scenes on walls — a perfect presentation of harmony between nature and craftsmanship.

The core inspiration is to fill industrial panels with the vibe of outdoor nature. Utilizing the hollow structure of polycarbonate hollow sheets, the design introduces natural texture without extra moisture-proof treatment for reeds, and adds a warm natural touch to rigid industrial materials. It also addresses the pain points of conventional partitions: the reed stems diffuse sunlight into soft spots and block sightlines, realizing the perfect integration of light transmission, privacy and warm visual experience.
