Hi, which brand are you using? The price you quote is it, was it for sunlite or ACP?

May I know which brand is better? I was quoted RM45 / sqft for sunlite polycarbonate.. Is it overprice?

Hi Guys, any recommendation on timber pergola contractor?

Mine about 48/sq.ft ( 5 months ago) , with 4 mm thick polycarbonate and all stainless steel frame

the column actually is a design only , you can either pergola style or the column framworks.
For sure u can do the hanging style for 12ft length .

the price quoted is for 10.38mm laminated glass

ya .. over price already , if sunlite polycarbonate RM20-24

The price he quoted are using T-Beam.. Will it be more expensive because of that?
Also, what is the difference between T-Beam & hollow section?

if they quoted t-beam for u mean its not polycarbonate , the roof material should be glass, RM45 -50 market price .

For the Hollow section and T-Beam we also quoted same price. ( glass )

my contractor also offered me sunlite polycarbonate. Is this a good brand? Why? He quoted me for 3600 for 23' x 5'. With aluminium outer steel frame and powder coating inner metal frame

sunlite polycarbonate is a recycle brand for polycarbonate sheet , but they also provided 10 years warranty for the product warranty. Price is around RM22 per sqft , ur contractor charged the aluminium outer and powder coating , thats why ur price will abit higher .

May I know what material is it? How much? The picture shows top, side and bottom.

I believe is aluminium with foam inside. I had something similar install for my car porch ceiling. Is good material but need someone skilful to do it. The last I got it done by some inexperienced guy, the end result is bad.

How much and what's the consequences of the bad result? I am considering this for my backyard extension roof.

Cost 5k. For area of 500sq feet. The bad result in installing, it makes the corner joint very uneven. The down light hole was cut badly and cannot cover properly after install downlight. The joint also look ugly because of bad workmanship

That's around RM10/sqft, that's cheaper than polycarbonate?

The 2 type give different result. Can't compare.

Polycarbonate is transparent, hot and noisy when rain.

Aluminium with inject foam is not transparent (your sheet area will be dark), insulated from heat and not noisy when rain.

Considering for backyard which will be extended as wet kitchen, this Aluminium with inject foam material seems to be cheaper and more suitable.

I think I got discount that is why is cheaper. Anyway that company who do for me had disappeared

Asked few contractors, all haven't use this material before. They said normally just one layer. Then got a contractor recommend aluminium composite panel instead.
