I will like to extend the carporch area, and considering to place awning for it. Which one is better, polycarbonate roofing or aluminium composite panel is better?Not considering the option of glass though.
Pricing and durability and noise comparison ??
Thanx in advance for the advice

Polycarbonate not long lasting if compare with composite panel but cheaper.
Depends thepolycarbonate thickness as well.
Polycarbonate advantage is transparent. U can get natural light.

Composite panel should has better sound proof.

Can consider metal deck with insulation if want sound proof.

Composite panel will be dark after installation is it, even with lighter shades of colour?

I would take up polycarbonate for the following reasons,
1) Cheaper
2) Better natural lighting
3) Less noise
4) Look better then aluminium composite panel in a residency. (Very personal preference biggrin.gif )
