4 Ways An Aluminum Patio Cover Will Improve Your Home

Right now, while we’re still feeling the chill of winter wind, it’s hard to imagine that the summer heat will be here in full force in just a matter of weeks. Though it seems distant, now is the best time to start working on prepping your home for the heat, and one of the top ways to do that is to install a patio cover in your backyard. Patio covers can improve your home for this summer and all the summers to come by providing visual appeal, shade, and comfort to you and your family. 
​
There are so many ways that an aluminum patio cover can completely change the way you and your family experience your outdoor living spaces. Here are 4 of the ways that a patio cover can help you improve your home: 

Cool Shade
The shade provided by one of our aluminum patio covers is a stark improvement over the shade of a more typical wooden cover. Even in the height of summer, an insulated aluminum patio cover can provide shade that is significantly cooler than temperatures in the sun. 
The shade made by an aluminum patio cover will completely change your late spring and summertime experience. The laminated foam core of our patio covers block the sun’s heat from penetrating through to the space below. Wooden covers aren’t able to block heat, allowing it to radiate down to the space below. For cool comfortable shade in the high desert, an insulated patio cover can make all the difference! 

Energy Efficiency
Because of the cooling effect of an aluminum patio cover, you’ll notice that you need to run your AC units less frequently over the year. From spring and all the way up into fall, you’ll be able to enjoy cooler temperatures with a lower energy bill. Our insulated patio covers are so effective in reducing heat that they have earned an Energy Star rating! 
In addition to the natural cooling effect of our patio covers, they provide the perfect space to install energy-saving solar panels at your home. Solar panel patio covers can help you eliminate your energy costs, without the trouble associated with installing panels to your roof. 

Recreation Space
The shaded space provided by a patio cover or a pergola can totally improve any outdoor get-togethers that you host. Barbeques, playdates, and family reunions, are so much nicer when you and your friends have a designated spot to relax and hang out. 

You and your loved ones will love the chance to sit in the shade to eat, chat, or just take a break from enjoying the rest of your backyard. At a big get together for a holiday or birthday, there’s no better place than in the relaxing shade of a patio cover. 

Visual Appeal
Beyond the ways that a patio cover can enhance the enjoyment of your outdoor spaces, they are also highly customizable. We offer you the chance to select a patio cover that is wholly suited to the needs of your home, from colors and design to lighting installation. Lattice patio covers offer free air flow with a smattering of sunlight, while solid covers give you total shade coverage, and free-standing pergolas can be installed anywhere in your yard that you want to add a bit of shade. Our experts are ready to help you find the best option for you! 

Additionally, a quality insulated patio cover or awning can improve the value and appeal of your home. If you choose to sell or rent out your home in the future, an effective patio cover can help you get more offers. A quality patio cover is truly a valuable investment into your home.
