The window for this goat’s view is made unbreakable, and thermally insulated, with Gallina brand multi-wall polycarbonate sheet.  Sometimes people refer to this stuff as corrugated plastic or corrugated polycarbonate.  It’s also known by the trade name of Polygal.  When you look down at the cut end of a piece, it resembles a bunch of square tubes glued together.

We have this greenhouse glazing material available in thicknesses from 6mm up to 25mm, widths of 4′ and 6′, continuous lengths of up to 40′ and a variety of colors including clear, white and bronze.

And in terms of actual order filling, here is a bullet-point list of the service parameters that we operate under here:
• The best, all-purpose email address, for quotes, orders, billing, is sales@coloradoplastics.com It goes all three of us on the phones, Zach, Charlie and myself. Phone calls to 303-443-9271 are always welcome also.
• We email order confirmations, we call them Sales Orders, and ask for feedback on item descriptions, quantities, cut dimensions, lead times, prices and buyer contact info, in a cover message to those Sales Orders.
• We can accommodate as many different buyers in your organization, on an order by order basis, as you wish.
• We call the person at your organization, at the phone number listed on the Sales Order, as soon as the order is ready to be picked up. So, we try to remind customers that if they haven’t received a phone call, it means that their order isn’t ready, or the phone number that we have is incorrect.
• We are also happy to email customers when their orders are ready, if they prefer email to a phone call.
• So, we also encourage customers who haven’t heard that their orders are ready, to call or email us before they head over here to pick up orders.
• And, specifically with multiwall polycarbonate, lead times range from 1 to 10 days depending on
o Brand (Gallina vs Polygal)
o Sheet thickness, color and width
o Type of accessories (trims, splines and channels)
o Any cutting to length that may be required
• Finally, we quote estimated lead times as we know them at time of Quote, we re-confirm them in the Sales Order at the time of order
