THE BEST EVER SOLID PATIO COVER

While lattice patio covers are our most popular style many times homeowners want more protection from direct sun and rain. A solid or full shade patio cover is the best solution.
Until recently this style of patio cover came only in the old style corrugated aluminum or wood frame & shingle structures. In the last few years the insulated aluminum patio cover has emerged as our most popular style. Here is why:
- Insulated Laminated Roof Panels (LRP) are manufactured with high density expanded polystyrene cores (EPS)that are uniformly bonded between two heavy guage textured aluminum skins. The resulting one-piece insulated panel system creates a patio cover with superior strength.
- The panels are flat on top and bottom giving a very pleasing appearance even when viewed from above as in a two story home.
- The insulated roof panels create a thermal barrier system that will not radiate heat like single-skin, non-insulated patio covers.
- The panels are walkable. This enables the homeowner the ability to walk on the surface in order to gain access to the house for painting or other chores.
- Internal electrical channels are embedded into the insulated roof panels allowing for safe and easy wiring of ceiling fans or other light fixtures.
- The gutter system comes with lead guards to reduce the need to clean the gutters.
