I just placed an order for glass awning at Homedec for RM43 per sqft. Laminated glass 12.38mm frosted glass. For glass awning I think the price is about there. Mine is frosted so costs slightly more.

We look at polycarbonate, ACP and glass. Multi layer Polycarbonate from Germany is better type in this category but still will be noisy during the rain and durability still lose to glass. ACP is much cheaper but I don't like the look and opaque nature of ACP. Plus ACP will be noisy in hot days. So it was down to glass. While glass is the best looking but we were concerned with the ability to block off heat. We finally saw the frosted glass that we like and with better thickness too.

Yeah. Frosted glass is nicer.

I'm thinking of installing this too, at my side yard.

When are they going to install for you? Maybe you can share some updates, how long they take to install, etc... any warranty offered?

Mine not so fast. In about 3 to 4 months as I need to do the title transfer for the house. Strata title a bit messy.

I have been searching this for a while and frosted glass is the nicest to me on the look side. It does help to block about 70% of lights/heat that the clear one doesn't. The colored frosted one is slightly more expensive (RM3 extra) because of color glue used for the laminate glass.

The vendor told me one day to install frame and one day to install glass. As per warranty ... It is one year on workmanship which likely includes leaks etc. There is no warranty on glass unless it cracks within days after installation.

Oh.. Not so soon, I see.. Haha.. I'm surveying only... Still have other things to upgrade my current house...

For me, I think the frosted glass without colour is nicer... Thanks for your quick reply hehe. 👍
