-
Commercial or industrial roofing
Higher installations may require scaffolding or additional safety measures.
4. Structural Framework Requirements
Custom framing, reinforced supports, or design upgrades (e.g. curved or slanted roofs) may increase overall costs.
Is Polycarbonate Roofing Cost-Effective?
Polycarbonate rooftops offer excellent value for money in Singapore’s tropical climate:
Allows natural light while reducing rain impact
Resistant to UV rays, impact, and heavy rainfall
Lower installation cost compared to glass roofing
Minimal maintenance required
This makes polycarbonate roofing ideal for balconies, car porches, walkways, and outdoor extensions.
What Is a Polycarbonate Rooftop?
How Polycarbonate Rooftops Work
Selecting the Best Polycarbonate Sheet for Your Needs
Choosing the right material is vital for long-term performance:
- Solid Polycarbonate Panels: These offer crystal-clear transparency similar to glass but with superior impact resistance—perfect for high-end residential balconies.
- Twin-wall/Multi-wall Sheets: These energy-efficient polycarbonate panels trap air to provide maximum thermal insulation and soft, diffused light.
- Corrugated Polycarbonate: Designed to match metal roof profiles, these are ideal for integrating skylights into industrial warehouses or garages.
Technical Comparison: Polycarbonate vs. Glass vs. Metal
Feature | Polycarbonate Rooftop | Glass Roofing | Metal Roofing |
|---|---|---|---|
Impact Resistance | ★★★★★ (Unbreakable) | ★★☆☆☆ (Fragile) | ★★★★☆ (Strong) |
Heat Reduction | ★★★★☆ (Excellent) | ★★☆☆☆ (Low) | ★★★☆☆ (Moderate) |
Light Transmission | High (Up to 90%) | Very High | None |
Weight | Lightweight | Heavy | Medium |
Cost | Cost-Effective | Expensive | Moderate |
Expert Guidance: Choosing the Right Thickness
For maximum efficiency in Singapore’s climate, we recommend the following for your polycarbonate sheet selection:
- 4mm–6mm: Suitable for small-scale applications like garden pergolas or greenhouses.
- 8mm–10mm: The standard for residential car porches and balconies, providing a balance of strength and noise reduction.
- 10mm–35mm: Recommended for commercial or industrial settings requiring high load-bearing capacity and premium insulation.
Why Choose a Polycarbonate Rooftop for Your Property
Investing in a polycarbonate sheet for your roofing needs offers unparalleled advantages over traditional materials:
- Virtually Unbreakable: Polycarbonate is 200 times stronger than glass, making it resistant to falling debris, heavy storms, and impact.
- 99% UV Protection: Our high-quality polycarbonate panels are engineered with specialized coatings that block harmful UV rays while allowing up to 90% natural light transmission.
- Heat & Sound Insulation: Modern rooftop polycarbonate reduces heat transfer significantly, lowering your cooling costs and softening the sound of heavy rain compared to metal roofs.
- Lightweight & Flexible: The lightweight nature of the polycarbonate sheet reduces the structural load on your building, allowing for sleek, curved, or minimalist designs.

Frequently Asked Questions on
Polycarbonate Roof and Awning in Singapore
Is a polycarbonate roof suitable for Singapore's weather?
Yes, polycarbonate is ideal for Singapore’s tropical climate because it is designed to withstand intense heat, high humidity, and heavy monsoon rainfall.
These roofs can effectively perform in a temperature range from -40°C to 120°C.
Does polycarbonate roofing effectively reduce heat?
Yes. High-quality UV-coated and tinted sheets significantly reduce heat transfer while still allowing natural light into the space.
In fact, polycarbonate generally offers better heat management than standard glass, as it acts as a superior insulator against the sun’s warmth.
Is polycarbonate roof noisy during heavy rain?
When installed correctly with the appropriate framing and thickness, noise from rain is minimal and manageable.
Using thicker sheets (8mm or more), proper spacing, and anti-vibration fixings will significantly soften the sound of rain compared to metal roofs or thinner installations.
How much natural light does it allow?
Polycarbonate strikes a balance between visibility and protection, allowing up to 90% of natural light to filter through while blocking 99% of harmful UV rays.
What thickness is recommended for residential use in Singapore?
For most residential applications like car porches, patios, and balconies, a thickness of 5mm to 10mm is recommended.
While 4mm to 6mm panels are suitable for light-duty structures like greenhouses, thicker panels (8mm+) provide better insulation, structural support, and impact resistance
Can polycarbonate roofs be installed on existing structures?
In most cases, yes. Polycarbonate is exceptionally lightweight, which reduces the load on a building’s structure and makes it easy to retrofit onto existing trellises or pergolas without requiring heavy reinforcement.
Why is professional installation necessary for polycarbonate roof?
Hiring a professional is essential to ensure proper slope and drainage, which prevents water from pooling, a common cause of leaks in Singapore’s heavy downpours.
Professionals also ensure the panels are properly aligned, securely mounted, and compliant with local safety guidelines.
Are there different types of sheets available?
Yes, you can choose from various profiles based on your needs:
- Solid Sheets: Offer glass-like clarity and are virtually unbreakable.
- Twin-wall/Multi-wall: Feature a layered structure that traps air for superior thermal insulation.
- Corrugated: Designed to match metal roof profiles for seamless integration.
- Frosted/Embossed: Provide privacy and a softer, diffused lighting effect.
How long does a polycarbonate roof last?
High-quality installations typically have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance.
The material is noted for its “quiet” longevity, holding its colour and structural integrity better than many alternatives over time.
Will the panels turn yellow over time?
High-quality UV-coated panels are specifically designed to resist yellowing and discolouration.
While cheaper, non-UV-treated sheets may yellow quickly under Singapore’s strong sunlight, premium sheets maintain their optical clarity for many years.
Is polycarbonate safe during storms?
Yes. It is 200 times stronger than glass, making it practically unbreakable and highly resistant to falling debris, hail, and strong winds.
It tends to bend before it breaks, providing an extra layer of safety during extreme weather.
How much maintenance is required?
Polycarbonate is considered low maintenance. Occasional cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient to prevent dirt buildup and maintain the material’s clarity.
It is also recommended to conduct periodic inspections after harsh weather to detect any minor defects early.
What are the main drawbacks?
The primary limitations are that the surface is prone to scratching and the material is not the most eco-friendly option due to its manufacturing process and non-biodegradable nature.
However, anti-scratch coatings can be applied to mitigate surface damage.
