QUOTE(Skidd Chung @ Oct 19 2011, 09:24 PM) Thank you for the replies. I guess polycarbonate is out of the question for me then. I thought it would be more solid. You may need 10m Temper glass. Market price is around RM 80/sqft. I am looking of this too but too expensive and hold this for another year.What would be an appropriate roof type that can hold a person or 2 persons weight?  |

QUOTE(ozak @ Oct 20 2011, 09:28 AM) Eh.. He is talking about tempered glass. Same result, tempered glass = laminated glass ? For skylight I prefer temper glass is not noisy and no color fade.Added on October 20, 2011, 9:31 am Do you really need a tempered glass for roof? Is your glass under a load or just a cover? |

QUOTE(ozak @ Oct 20 2011, 10:01 AM) I m thinking of a cheapest way. Aiyah color fade on polycarbonate, the laminated price and laminated actually not much difference because temper, think about rm5 extra pqft.Tempered glass use mainly for load. Since skylight is just a cover and there is many frame support from below, why still need expensive tempered glass. Probally laminated glass will do. That can reduce the cost. A thick glass already better a lot than the polycarbonate for noise. But do glass color fade under the sun for long period? But this I am not too concern now, I can do the parking after I move in. |

QUOTE(ozak @ Oct 20 2011, 01:49 PM) Sorry, I read wrong about the glass fade color. Glass also less noisy. But is sure more expensive.Polycarbonate color won't fade. It get dirty and look dull when not clean frequent. All my house shade is using polycarbonate for over 10yrs. Cheap at that time. But glass look better.  |
