Alumawood is a fine entry-level product. Here is where roll-formed and heavy-duty extruded louvered aluminum pulls ahead on heat, durability and resale.
What Alumawood does well
Alumawood-style lattice and solid covers are lightweight, affordable and quick to install. If your only goal is partial shade over a small slab, they do the job.
Where homeowners run into limits
Fixed panels mean no control. Thin gauge material can oil-can and dent. And on a west-facing patio in Fresno or Clovis, a fixed cover still lets low afternoon sun rake straight underneath it.
Our 100% aluminum louvered systems are corrosion free, engineered for high wind and snow loads, and available in roll-formed or heavy-duty extruded louvers so you can match the structure to the span and the budget.
Finish options matter for resale
Six standard finishes, more than 1,000 custom colors, and the only Cedar Wood Grain adjustable cover on the market. That flexibility lets the cover read as part of the house instead of an add-on.
