Roofers supplies and installs glass awnings for homes and businesses across Singapore. Laminated, tempered and aluminium options available — from site survey to installation.
A glass awning is an overhead shelter made from laminated or tempered glass panels supported by an aluminium or steel frame. Unlike fabric or polycarbonate awnings, glass awnings allow natural light to pass through while providing full protection from rain.
They are a popular choice for homeowners who want a sleek, modern look without sacrificing brightness. Glass awnings are commonly installed over patios, car porches, balconies, entrances and outdoor dining areas — for both residential and commercial properties.
Glass awnings are heavier than polycarbonate or fabric alternatives, which means the supporting wall structure must be assessed before installation. Our team carries out a full site survey to evaluate load-bearing capacity and recommend the right glass type for your space.
MOST POPULAR
Two or more glass layers bonded with an interlayer. If cracked, the interlayer holds the pieces in place — significantly safer than regular glass. Best for residential properties where safety and longevity are the priority.
Excellent UV protection and will not yellow over time, even under Singapore’s intense sun.
Commercial Grade
Heat-treated to be four to five times stronger than standard glass. When broken, it shatters into small blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. Suitable for shopfronts, commercial entrances and lower-risk overhead areas.
Low Maintenance
Powder-coated aluminium panels instead of glass. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant and extremely low maintenance — well-suited for Singapore’s humid climate. A cost-effective alternative that prioritises durability over light transmission.
Both are popular in Singapore, but they suit different needs and budgets. Here’s a direct comparison to help you decide.
| Feature | Glass Awning | Polycarbonate Awning |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Sleek, premium, modern | Practical, functional |
| Light transmission | Full transparency | Slightly diffused |
| UV protection | Excellent — does not yellow | Good — may yellow over time |
| Durability | High (laminated/tempered) | High — impact resistant |
| Weight | Heavier — requires strong frame | Lightweight |
| Maintenance | Regular cleaning for clarity | Very low maintenance |
| Cost | Higher | More affordable |
| Best for | Modern homes, luxury finish | Budget-conscious, practical shade |
Prices depend on glass type, panel size, frame material and installation complexity. The figures below are general guides — contact us for an exact quote based on your space.
$800 – $1,500
Powder-coated aluminium panels. Lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
$600 – $1,200
Translucent panels. Lightweight and impact-resistant.
$1,500 – $4,000+
Premium finish. Price varies by panel size and specification.
Glass awnings are heavier than polycarbonate or fabric alternatives. Before installation, our team assesses your wall structure to confirm it can bear the load — this is a critical step that many contractors skip. We then recommend the right glass type, fabricate panels to your exact dimensions and complete installation with proper anchoring and waterproofing. A final structural check is done before handover.
For projects requiring PE or QP submission, we can arrange consultancy as part of the process.
Yes. We use laminated or tempered glass, both of which are significantly stronger and safer than regular glass. Laminated glass holds together if cracked, while tempered glass shatters into small blunt pieces. Both handle Singapore’s heavy rain and heat well.
