PU metal awning
A metal roof sheet bonded to a polyurethane foam core. The coolest and quietest solid roof for the money, with a clean white underside that needs no extra ceiling.
A PU metal awning in Malaysia costs about RM 45 – 58 per sq ft installed. A 10 ft × 15 ft back porch (150 sq ft) is roughly RM 7,000 – 8,700. It is cooler than ACP and far cooler than zinc, which is why it is the usual choice over a kitchen or wet area.
Panel
- Pre-painted steel or aluminium skin, 25 – 50 mm PU foam core, finished underside
- 50 mm foam gives the best heat cut for a west-facing roof
- Colours: white, light grey, charcoal, wood grain
Frame
- Hollow-section steel, galvanised and painted, or aluminium
- Panels span up to about 12 ft between supports, so fewer beams than a sheet roof
Pros
- Lowest heat under the roof of any solid panel
- Quiet in heavy rain
- Finished underside, no separate ceiling
Cons
- Visible panel joints every 1 m; ACP looks cleaner from the street
- Edge detailing matters: poorly sealed ends let water into the foam
