I think it have to be as thick as a finger. About 12mm? 3mm is way too noisy.

I still headache on choosing colour....i dont like green, blue and red colour.....now left brown and clear (no colour) to choose.....if use transparent, my 300++ sq ft balcony will always under hot sun....so, maybe will choose brown rough surface which can block 85% sunlight...haiz....another decision need to make is...use pergola type (balau wood) or metal frame.....metal easy to maintain....anyone give me some opinion?
Thanks

Is the brown also transparent? If transparent too, it still have UV coming in and still hot. I will say wood easy to maintain. Metal can rust.

Hi

Everyone need to Survive. More Margin . Hit and Run Business

I wanted to have a Clear Roof in my Car Porch, but Contractor told me Every 3 years need to Change
No Way I Will pay Every 3 years for a Clear Roof

So End up I waited another 2 years before I found this Lexan* Grade

Fading ? You Mean Yellowing?
From the Web site , They mention
' Lexan Thermoclear Plus offers a ten year limited written warranty against discoloration, loss of light transmission and loss of impact strength due to weathering with superior conditions compared to competitive products.'

Good to know now have more option. I am looking for awning, what is the per sqft? Looking to compare with tempted glass

You will have a few Choice

Lower Cost - Twin Wall - Get 10 mm thick Lexan Solar Control IR , Best in this Class
6 mm Thick one doesn't look Good

Higher Cost . Solid Lexan, 6mm , Un-breakable , even by an Axes
Anything Lower than 6 mm is not advisable due to Waviness during Hot Sunny Day
Paying for Safety here

Glass ?

Get At Least - Laminated Glass ( Tempered Glass )
Glass will have Spontaneous Breaking ( Unless you willing to pay for Heat Soaked Tempered Glass, which High Rise uses)
Once they Break, The Lamination will hold it and not Drop Immediately. so You are Safe
Don't Get Float Glass. Too Dangerous
Critical Note

Polycarbonate is HALF the Weight of a Glass
12 mm Glass Can be Replace by 6mm Lexan SOLID. Which make the Weigh is A Quarter of the Weigh of Glass.
Conclusion is The Structure for Polycarbonate is much Lighter and LOWER Cost

Anyhow,
Workmanship + Structure = 70% of your Payment
Material = Only 30% of your Payment

I will prefer tempered glass over laminated. Laminated are weak, and easy break compare to tempered. I have bad experience on Laminated, even the broken glass are not falling, but still some pieces do drop and is very sharp.

Tempered Glass = 1 pieces
Laminated = 2 pieces
Laminated Tempered Glass = 2 pieces
Hybrid Laminated = 1 Pieces Float + 1 pieces Laminated

Theoretically When Tempered Glass Breaks, it's not sharp ( Maybe Process not Complete)
It should breaks nto Millions of pieces

I still think 1 pieces Laminate Glass is risky
All the above combination will have the risk of spontaneous Breaking. No Idea When.

For Safety get Laminated Tempered Glass = 2 pieces

How often you see glass door break? is one piece tempered. Laminated tempered, i do hear and read about it real application i have not seen before.

by that time, all bird shit already full on top to add another layer.
I pity those that do glass. Look elegant and nice. But with bird shit...ewww.... (more cleaning)

You probably demolish and rebuild a new one. tongue.gifc

We have rain to wash away the birds drop. Furthermore how often you get birds drop?

Few of my mom neighbor put awning I hardly see them wash and is still good looking.

Concern about bird drop, you can climb up and check how many bird dropping on the roof.
