When choosing the patio cover style you want for your outdoor space, it can be confusing at times. Valley Patios is here to help you in your decision-making process. An aluminum patio cover, as we have gone over in a previous blog post, provides durability, weather resistance, minimal maintenance and longevity much more so than a wood patio cover.
Valley Patios offers several different brands of aluminum patio covers that have different costs and functionality associated with them. 4K Aluminum, Amerimax Building Products, Duralum Products, and Equinox Louvered Roof Systems are just a few of the brands that Valley Patios offers. You may ask: What's the difference? Which is better? The answer is that they equally are superior to wood patio covers, but they have differences. Determining the style of patio cover you are envisioning for your backyard will help Valley Patios create your dream oasis.

Alumawood and Weatherwood patio covers are known for their strength and durability. Unlike wood covers that often demand sanding, staining, or sealing to maintain their appearance and structural integrity, aluminum is not prone to rotting or cracking, making Alumawood and Weatherwood patio covers more resilient against weather conditions.
Alumawood and Weatherwood patio covers are designed to mimic the appearance and texture of wood, catering to those who appreciate the natural look of wood. This combination offers the best of both worlds-aesthetics resembling wood and the practicality of a metal structure.

For clients that are seeking a more modern, open concept patio cover, Valley Patios also offers 4k Aluminum patio covers. 4k Aluminum is a thicker product, which enables their structures to span over distances with fewer posts.
4k Aluminum patios also have a smooth surface, rather than the natural wood look. This visual difference might appeal to a client seeking a modern, sleek looking patio cover with smooth corners and clean lines.

Equinox Louvered Roof Systems are similar in style to 4K aluminum, but they include operability with a remote control, meaning they can open and close to your exact specification. If you want your patio to have nearly full sunshine or complete shade and rain protected, you can use the handheld remote control to do so.
Ultimately, the choice between 4k Aluminum patio covers, Equinox Louvered Roof Systems, and Alumawood and Weatherwood patio covers comes down to the personal preference and specific needs of the users, considering the different attributes and visual styles each product offers.
