Glass awning, Kuala Lumpur
Laminated or tempered glass on a slim powder-coated aluminium frame. Natural light under the roof, rain kept out, and the cleanest look a car porch or entrance can have.
A glass awning in Malaysia costs about RM 78 – 120 per sq ft installed. A standard 20 ft × 10 ft car porch (200 sq ft) lands at RM 16,000 – 24,000. Laminated glass, stainless fixings and a concealed gutter sit at the top of that range.

Questions people ask
What is the price of a glass awning in Malaysia?
About RM 78 – 120 per sq ft installed in the Klang Valley. A 200 sq ft car porch is roughly RM 16,000 – 24,000. The frame material, glass type and drainage detail move the price more than the glass itself.
Tempered or laminated glass for an awning?
Laminated. Tempered glass is strong but shatters into small pieces if hit by a falling object. Laminated glass cracks and stays in the frame. For a roof over people and cars, laminated is the safer choice and what we recommend.
Does a glass awning get hot underneath?
Clear glass does. Tinted or Low-E laminated glass cuts a large share of the heat while keeping the light. For a west-facing porch we specify tinted laminated glass as standard.
How wide can a glass awning cantilever without posts?
About 6 ft from the wall with an aluminium frame. Beyond that we add slim posts or a steel primary beam so the glass never carries structural load.
Do I need council approval for a glass awning?
A car porch awning on a landed house usually needs a simple submission to the local council (DBKL, MBPJ, MBSA). We prepare the drawing you need. Condominiums need management approval first.
