Hi all,

Would like to know, what's the current PC awning market price now?

Was quoted RM2k for an area of 10'x5', means RM40/sq.ft for a 3mm solid PC sheet with metal frame. Is it reasonable?

Also is 3mm good enough for an awning? or i shall ask for thicker one?

Thanks

Expensive..i did 10x10 only 1800. Try looking for de skylight in fb. Now trend is using acp liao...polycarbonate outdate

wow... when did you do it? also using which thickness?

btw ya i got ACP at other areas but PC is for the laundry where i need the sunlight

thanks

Hey bro sorry mistake..i paid higher than that. I mistook my last payment as total price. Didnt include deposit lol. Mine 10x10 3k plus..3mm also with 4" mild steel

haha ok ok, thanks for the clarifications

btw did you put a gutter at the edge of the swning?

u do know ACP is popular or being promoted heavily cos its like dirt cheap compared to polycarbonate right?

its basically low end 3mm plastic with like 0.05-0.1mm of aluminium on it.. can google around one 4x8 sheet is like 60+ bucks.

Ya so? It last longer as well

so.. it sells cos installers pricing it around 14-18 per sf..yea cos its cheap. and looks cheap compared to metal decking

Nobody use metal deck for awning. And it looks far better than metal decking. Yes its cheaper option and last longer than polycarbonate. More expensive option is glass. We are talking about awning here

er.. a quick search and lots of metal deck awning pics but yea many in normal boring variety...
as i said acp is very popular due to low price. but metal deck awnings have always been around (mostly in the cheapo variety) doesnt mean they dont have nice ones and definitely looks way better than acp when the right ridge design is chosen. oh well each to his own.
