What Is the Difference Between EZ Glaze and R Glaze?

What Is the Difference Between EZ Glaze and R Glaze?

The main difference between EZ Glaze and R Glaze polycarbonate roofing sheets is the brand. Both products are designed for the same applications and offer very similar performance, installation methods, and compatibility.

EZ Glaze and R Glaze are glass-clear PVC polycarbonate pre-moulded roofing sheets, widely used across the UK for:

  • Carports and lean-to roofs
  • Pergolas and canopies
  • Garden rooms and outdoor structures
  • Domestic and commercial roofing projects

In many installations, R Glaze is often chosen as a more cost-conscious option.
