What is the longest span possible for a glass awning without pillar ( cantilever ). Lets say the width is 8 feet. Something like this....


Thanks

Last time I ask was 6ft

Guys,

Do you think there is such thing as tinted polycarbonate skylight or any way i can apply tint on polycarbonate skylight? Reason being i like the sun light coming thru but not the heat. Tempered glass skylight is not an option due to budget constraint.

Thank you in advance for your comment/feedback. Cheers.

Hi Kok Meng,

yes, You can add tinted Film unto Polycarbonate.
I've seen people did that

or

Get what I use for myself.
This Lexan Solar control IR reduce 30% Heat compare to any other Grade in the market. with Warranty Longer than Tinted film.

Hi Jerry,

Mind to share the price/sqft on this product? Also, any recommended dealer or reseller on Lexan's polycarbonate?

Nice design. But if this swimming for kid, look abit dangerous. As it look many sharp corner and edge. Once fall and kena head 

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 Insulation
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%
8) Coated PolyCarbonate ( Lexan* Own Coating which was Developed in-house)

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 ( Do a Search for 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.

To be Sure, Call the manufacturer for a Claim ( Some Manufacturer also claim give 10 years Warranty). Ask them to visit you. You can judge the product by their Services
Give them the Lot No ( Date of Manufacturing or Purchasing Agents for Verification).

Another Option is to use 6 mm Lexan* Solid Sheet. Same Warranty .
6mm will not be break by an Axe & and will not deform from heat ( 3 mm thick Polycarbonate will Wave on hot Days)

Some contractor wont recommend this type of roofing due to dust and fungus and some say it will break! Hmmm to hard to choose which is better.

I like skylight functions, want to plants some under..

Hi Manstir,

We understand that Twin-Wall was spoiled by workmanship error. We tried hard to provide a proper installation technique.

As mention by a few user here, It's lower in cost and Best Insulation compares to Solid Polycarbonate.
Furthermore, we will promote 5 wall soon in Malaysia, which reduce even more Heat in this hot weather.

I would suggest you to find an Experience Contractor to do this.
Examples of a good project is Petaling Street and  Kota Kemuning, Columbia Hospital

If you need guide, Please PM me or email ( sabic.sfs@gmail.com) , and we will be happy to email you the Installation Method.

SABIC IP ( Previously known as GE Plastics),  Specialty Sheet & Film Division has been selling this product since 1968.
Will many Stadiums build around the Globe, Multi-Wall sheet will be the Right Product to Choose.

Are you sure i can get RM6 psft?


please guide me to find experience contractor who know how.

HI Manstir,

The price is the estimated price for Lexan* Thermoclear Solar Control IR, 10 mm TwinWall
For Clear or Bronze, The Material cost is Slightly Lower.

This is Just the Plastic Material Price Only
