What are Solid Alumawood Patio Covers?
A Solid Alumawood Patio Cover is a high-quality, durable aluminum structure that features a deeply embossed wood-grain finish, providing 100% shade and complete protection from the rain. We use genuine Alumawood, manufactured by Amerimax, to ensure you receive a product that looks like beautiful painted wood but offers the strength and longevity of aluminum. This makes it the ideal low-maintenance solution for any Phoenix home.
There are many benefits to choosing a Solid Alumawood Patio Cover, such as:
- It will not rot, warp, or crack. Unlike traditional wood, Alumawood is engineered to stand up to the intense Arizona sun and monsoon season without failing.
- You will not have to paint it. The structure features a factory-applied Aluma-Shield™ paint finish with TEFLON® surface protector, which resists chipping, peeling, and fading.
- It is termite-proof. This provides a crucial benefit for any home in Arizona, protecting your investment from pest damage.
- It has the look of wood with the strength of aluminum. You can achieve the aesthetic of a classic wood patio cover without the constant upkeep and repairs.
Which solid patio cover is right for you?
Choosing the right solid cover depends on your specific needs for heat reduction, light control, and budget. Royal Covers offers several options to ensure you find the perfect fit for your home, including the modern and flexible Equinox Louvered Roof system.
| Cover Type | Best For… | Heat Reduction | Light Control | Price Point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solid (Non-Insulated) | Homeowners seeking 100% shade and rain protection at the best value. | Good | None (Full Shade) | $$ |
| Insulated LRP | Maximum heat reduction (up to 15° cooler). Ideal for west-facing patios or areas with low airflow. | Best | None (Full Shade) | $$$ |
| Equinox Louvered Roof | Ultimate flexibility. Adjust from full sun to full shade at the touch of a button. | Excellent | Fully Adjustable | $$$$ |
What are our Solid Alumawood Patio Cover solutions?
We offer several solutions to meet your specific needs. Our Solid (Non-Insulated) Alumawood Cover is our most popular option, constructed with 3-inch tongue-and-groove ceiling panels and a built-in gutter system with a downspout for effective water management. For maximum comfort, our Insulated Laminated Roof Panel (LRP) option includes a thick core of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) foam, which provides superior heat reduction. Both styles can be customized with a variety of colors, end cap designs, and post options. We can also integrate ceiling fans, custom lighting, and electrical outlets to create a fully functional outdoor living space.
Are they engineered for the Phoenix climate?
Yes, our patio covers are specifically engineered to beat the heat and sun of the Phoenix climate. The Aluma-Shield™ paint finish provides superior resistance to fading and chalking in Arizona’s 299+ days of annual sunshine, while our insulated covers can make your patio feel up to 15 degrees cooler. This not only creates a more comfortable space but can also reduce the load on your home’s air conditioning system, potentially lowering your energy bills. Furthermore, the structural integrity and integrated gutter systems are designed to handle heavy monsoon downpours, and all our covers are engineered to meet or exceed local wind load requirements.
Are they perfect for any outdoor living space?
Yes, our Solid Alumawood Patio Covers are versatile and can be customized for any part of your home. We can create a safe, shaded area by the pool that is resistant to splashes, or we can cover your outdoor kitchen and BBQ area to make it a comfortable space for year-round entertaining. Many homeowners also choose our covers to create a durable, maintenance-free carport that protects their vehicles from sun damage and hail. We can even enhance your home’s curb appeal by designing a welcoming, shaded entryway or courtyard.
