Polycarbonate awnings

Polycarbonate awnings are designed to provide shade and protection from the elements while allowing light to filter through. The polycarbonate sheets are made of thermoplastic material known for its high durability, impact resistance, and transparency.  The sheets can be clear, translucent, or tinted, offering options for different levels of light transmission and privacy. 

While transparency is an advantage for natural light, it might not provide optimal protection against intense sunlight, UV rays, and heavy rainfall. It's suitable for covered areas with no direct sunlight such as the backyard, wet kitchen, or even car porch shaded by the house. Polycarbonate awnings are available in various shapes and styles, such as dome, flat, or curved designs, making them versatile for different architectural aesthetics.

Regular cleaning and maintenance are necessary to prevent the buildup of dirt, debris, and algae on the surface of polycarbonate panels. The dirt will be visible compared to the Aluminum Composite Panel awnings.

While polycarbonate has its considerations, it's still an option to consider. It's important to explore alternative materials like aluminum composite panels that offer a balance between durability, aesthetics, and performance in Singapore's climate. However, the choice ultimately depends on your preferences and specific requirements.

Consult roofing experts can help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs and the unique challenges of Singapore's climate.
