Hi, just want to check, currently l;m looking for wrought iron + solid polycarbonate awning for my balcony 18x13 and car porch 18x5.

my contractor charge me RM20 or RM22 for normal steel per sq ft and RM28 per sq ft for wrought iron. wrought iron really need rm28 per sq ft meh? so expensive?

I would think that it is more like wrought iron look alike. Actual wrought iron is going to be damn heavy for an awning plus will be more expensive

Yes, that's fake wrought iron - it's mild steel with some texture effect. I don't think you can get wrought iron in the market.



Are you sure about the dimensions?

To install Marklon 3mm thick solid sheet polycarbonate with one side UV coated on the surface with 10 years warranty and other accessories for complete installation of roofing system come with 2" x 4" balau wood structural frame with finish paint.

Size 31"x12"
4 Nos support with stainless steel tie-rod
RM 10500

My question:
a) Is the price expensive?
b) balau or resak? Which wood better?

Hi all bros want to ask installing policarb with 2x4 balau wood structural frame is so exp? rm42 psf?
14x44f is already rm26k.

normally only around RM27 psf....

Thanks alot bro, my id contractor suggest me doing polycard with balau structural frame for balcony. but i prefer rc frame type.

My contractor quoted me Rm25psf....but other things super expensive...my kitchen itself is RM52k...crazy...

craft you must have a big kc then for rm52k. i guess i need to get more quotation.

Nolar...regular wet & dry kitchen..Rm52 is excluding wet work..just cabinet..but I wont let them do cabinet...getting Unity Kitchen.

Wiring is also expensive...only wet work is cheap....My total came up to like RM172k..lol....*faint*

Who else can recommend me another contractor wiring?

whoa a whopping 172k can buy 1/2my house d. my budget for all in about 35-50k nia.

I was quoted ajiya awning with installation rm18/sf
Skylight awning 23/sf

polycarbonate skylight reflectife awning with steel for rm26 per sf. total area size about 300 sf. is this normal ??

Anyone has installed awning with laminated glass and metal frame? Recommendation and pricing much appreciated.

Can any of you please be specify the metal frame size? I saw the range from RM15-RM28. If using metal frame, what is the size of the frame?

I been quoted as follows:

38mm x 38mm metal frame + solid polycarbonate = RM20

50mm x 100mm metal frame (pergonal looks alike) + solid polycarbonate = RM28.

Is the price reaasonable ?

I am also intending to install glass awnings and glass roofing. I was quoted RM60/ftsq. I am not sure if this is reasonable.

Can anyone confirm the reasonableness of the price? Thanks.

U need o provide glass type (laminated/tempered) and the thickness. Wonder no details how to know the exact price

12.38mm tinted laminated glass supported on steel I beams & rectangular hollow sections. Thanks.

Hmm..looking for polycarbonate roofing for my car porch...wonder if anyone has good latest contacts?

Hi All,

For Sky Light or Awning, use Lexan* Twin Wall, Grade Recommended is Lexan* 10mm Thickness Solar Control IR, Light Green in Color

In the 1960s, NASA used Lexan* Brand Polycarbonate for Astronaut helmet assemblies and visors which became known as "bubble helmets", including those used by the Apollo moon astronauts.



Advantages
1) 2 Wall , Better Heat Insulattion
2) Lower Cost
3) Reduce 30% Heat
4) 2 Side UV Resistant Coating ( Generally, Polycarbonate is NOT Chemical Resistant. Can be printed as label, example laptop Battery uses Polycarbonate FR Film as Label)
5) Impact Resistance. Virtually Un-Breakble Youtube has many Video on the Impact Test
6) 10 year Warranty - Against Yellowing ( yellow Index Not more than 2, which naked Eyes can see)
- Against Impact ( Drilled Holes Failure not Warrant)
- Against Lost of Light Transmission
7) Light Transmission - More than 65%,

Dust or Fungus will grow in the Slot but that can be eliminate if you get a Good Contractor.
Use Anti - Dust tape, which will allow the Water to Vaporize and 'Flow' out through the Special Membrane in the Anti-Dust Tape
It will prevent Water from Sipping in and Grow Fungus

Many Stadium are Built from Multi-Wall Sheet , which also uses the Anti-Dust Tape
Examples :





Material Cost for Lexan* 10mm Thickness Solar Control IR, Light Green in Color is approximately RM 6.80/square feet.
Note That The Structure is more Costlier that the Roofing Material
