Our Premium Collections
Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) Roofing
The gold standard for maximum shade, you can think of ACP as a “blackout” roof. Its multi-layer composition provides the highest level of thermal insulation available. If you want to turn a blistering West-facing balcony into a cool, shaded lounge, this is your solution.
Polycarbonate Roofing
Perfect for those who love natural light but hate getting wet. Polycarbonate allows you to maintain a bright, airy vibe while providing a 100% waterproof shield. We offer various tints and thicknesses so you can choose exactly how much sunlight you want to let in.
Questions?
1. What is Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) roofing?
Think of ACP Roofing as the ultimate heavy-duty shield for your outdoor spaces. It is a solid, multi-layered panel system engineered for a sleek, clean, architectural look. Its superpower is incredible heat reduction, making it fantastic for keeping hot patios or balconies shaded and comfortable under the intense sun.
2. What is polycarbonate roofing?
Polycarbonate roofing is a lightweight, translucent shelter option designed to let natural daylight flood into your space. It acts like a sturdy pair of sunglasses for your patio—giving you excellent protection against heavy downpours and harmful UV rays without making your outdoor areas dark or gloomy.
3. What is the difference between ACP and polycarbonate roofing?
It all comes down to what you want your outdoor vibe to be! ACP roofing is a solid, opaque roof that focuses heavily on maximum shade and keeping the area as cool as possible. Polycarbonate roofing is translucent, meaning its main job is to let beautiful daylight through to create a bright, airy, and inviting outdoor environment.
4. Which roofing option reduces heat better?
If your absolute main goal is to beat the blistering heat, ACP roofing is hands-down the winner. Because it features a solid panel construction that completely blocks out direct sunlight, it provides much stronger shade and heat reduction—making it a favorite for homeowners who want maximum cooling.
5. I still want natural light on my patio. Which option should I choose?
You should definitely go with Polycarbonate roofing! Because the material is beautifully translucent, it allows natural daylight to brighten up your patio or indoor living area while still acting as a reliable shield to protect you and your outdoor furniture from rain and harsh UV rays.
6. Is a Polycarbonate roof noisy when it rains?
To be completely honest with you, both Polycarbonate and ACP roofing will sound almost exactly the same when a heavy tropical downpour hits. Because both are solid outdoor shelter systems, you will definitely hear that loud, classic patter of rain hitting the surface no matter which option you choose. Any outdoor roof in Singapore is bound to carry some sound when it pours, so you can pick the one that best fits your light and cooling needs without worrying about a difference in noise!
7. Can I choose the color or look of an ACP roof?
Yes, you certainly can! Our ACP panels come in a fantastic range of sleek, modern colors like charcoal grey, silver, or crisp white to perfectly match your home’s design. Plus, the underside features a smooth, clean, ceiling-like finish so it looks beautiful from below. Just a small heads-up for condo owners: your MCST might have specific estate colors that we will need to follow!
8. Do I need permission or permits to install a roofing?
This is a super important step, and it depends entirely on your property type:
- For Condos: You will almost always need to get written approval from your MCST first. Depending on your estate’s rules, submissions might require formal PE (Professional Engineer) endorsements, or clearance from SCDF, URA, and BCA.
- For HDBs: You will need to check in and verify regulations with your local Town Council.
- For Landed Houses: While minor external awnings and small structures are usually very straightforward, larger extensions might require careful alignment with local building guidelines.
9. Does Polycarbonate turn yellow or brittle over time?
Like any transparent material facing Singapore’s brutal, non-stop sun, it does have a natural lifecycle. To fight this, our panels are treated with a high-grade UV-protective layer that acts just like sunscreen for your roof. While this keeps things clear and strong for years, you can expect some natural weathering and a slight yellowing after the 7 to 8-year mark. If you want a “forever” look with zero color change, our solid ACP series is the way to go; but if you prioritize a bright, sun-kissed atmosphere, Polycarbonate is a fantastic investment.
10. Which roofing is better for balconies and outdoor spaces?
Honestly, both are fantastic—it just depends on your lifestyle! ACP roofing is the ideal choice if you want maximum shade and strong heat protection to turn a hot balcony into a cool escape. On the other hand, Polycarbonate roofing is preferred if you love natural light and want to keep your adjoining living room bright.
11. What is the warranty for Roofing?
We want you to look forward to your new outdoor shelter with total peace of mind. We provide a 1-year warranty that fully covers both the materials and any potential water leakage. If you ever face an issue after a heavy storm, our Ecohaus specialists are just a quick phone call away!
