It Depend on the Type or Manufacturers
KLCC Grade is imported and very High Quality
The coating until today is very Good

Below is explanation from New Zealand Guide on Building material

ACPs are thin sandwich-type panels made from two sheets of aluminium bound to a core of
insulating material. A common use for ACPs is as external claddings on multi-level buildings as they
are relatively lightweight and sturdy, while the aluminium sheets can be painted any colour.

ACPs are combustible (i.e. capable of catching fire). Other examples of combustible external
cladding systems include exterior insulation finish systems, structural insulation finish systems, high
pressure laminates and weather-resistive barriers.

The degree of combustibility of ACPs ranges from:

1. products that are readily combustible (ACPs with cores that are 100% polyethylene, or PE,
which melts at relatively low temperatures and is highly flammable), to

2 products with a core of mineral fibre and some PE, which are less combustible, to

3 products with a core of almost all mineral fibre plus a small amount of PE to bind this fibre to
the aluminium, which have limited combustibility.

Very Tough Scenario.

You can use a 6 mm High Quality Polycarbonate . This Will eliminate the Sound

Get something with color, light tinted, so that if cigarette butts burns it, it won't be so visible.

A Good High Quality Polycarbonate would last you between 15 ~ 25 years.
It should not break if a flower pot fall unto it.

Very Important is Workmanship. New Technology can Help prevent leaking for 10 to 20 years or more

Hi,

No , I'm not from that Company

I found out about the Type of Structural Double Sided Tape which is very good

But the cost of the Tape is very high, due to Malaysia Import duties
Also Many things I realize is that Malaysia Government Taxes High.

Now I know if I want good quality product, we pay higher price , mostly due to Duties.

Meanwhile, You can challenge the condo Management for you roof.
Take them to consumer court to get them to approve your safety requirement.

It cost you RM 5 only ( I went there before, maybe the charges is higher)

Cheers and Good Luck

exkay,

First of All, I am not challenging you. I am not a Contractor. We comment here for the Sake of Safety.
I will not stayed in Condominium made with ACP . If I do, I will challenge the management to a test ACP

Have you tested it Vertical Burning?

The news say its Vertical Dripping and cause the First to spread Left Right Up & Down.

Manufactured Must make sure the formulation of each production remain the same.
You cannot cost down and change the material unless you submit for test again.

BS 476 from the internet mean Surface Flame. I agree that Aluminum don't Burn. They don't care about Dripping.

Maybe I should to get a piece of the ACP and Test Vertical Burning

Cherioo

I’ve Never Like Contractor.

They Aim is to Maximize Profit. Today, I spend Wisely By Selection Goods that Offer me the Best Benefits, even though they Cost a Little Bit More.

Examples, I purchased Dish Washer, Vacuum Robot & LCD TV + Paying Additional for Insurance.
This is From Harvey Norman
At the End, I Benefits from Long Term especially in the Event of Product Failure.
Furthermore, the Black & White Contract Stated Clearly what will be Insured, thus I can Sleep Better

As for Awning, I Analyzed it Long Before I purchase.
The First Ever Contractor Quote and Told me The Polycarbonate will Last 3 years.
He is Delusional for Sure. I would never Change My Polycarbonate Awning Every 3 years

Below is What I Learned, many the Hard Way

• Products – Analyze the Best Available in Malaysia. Never Let Contractor Recommend you. 99% of Contractor would Recommend the Lowest Cost Material they can Find which Never Ever Benefits You. Their Material Only Benefits Them
• Products – Choose Long Lasting. Replacement will Cost more than 70% of 1st Paid Work. There is Long Lasting Grades in the Market.
• Products – The Awning Material are only 30% ~ 35% of your Total Cost of your Investment. Select Wisely. Metal Structure + Workmanship are the Rest
• Products – Selection Benefits. Low Heat Built Up, Low U Value. If need Natural Light (Energy Saving), Get Glass or Polycarbonate. If No Light Require, Use Metal Deck, Concrete or Ajiya Awning. Never Select the Cheapest Solution

• Workmanship – Ask for Longer Workmanship. 2 Years or 3 Years. I was told Condominium Awning sometimes Requested for 5 years Workmanship
• Workmanship – Ask for Black & White Written Warranty from Both Contractor & Material Manufacturer. Contractor Written Warranty / Invoice can be use in Consumer Court if the Your Investment Failed. Read Properly.
• Workmanship – But Technology. Don’t Buy Awning. If I tell you My Awning Assembly with Double Sided Tape, Many would Not Believe. You will not Find 1 Screws to Assembly My Awning to the Structure. BTW, The Tape Prevent Water Leaks & Last Very Long. It made for Outdoor & Resistant to Acid Rain

• Metal – Get Bigger Metal Bar. Bigger & Stronger will allows you to Climb up for cleaning or Aircond Maintenance. Suggested 2 inch x 4 Inch Minimum Painted Metal


In The Coming Years, Services Industries Charges will Cost More. Invest Wisely or Save More Money to Invest in Good & Durable Product. Don’t Let Contractor Benefits more than you. You can Let them Earn Money but Not Allowing Easy Work.
