Many homes have patios, but they are often open to the sun and the rain, making them unusable on many days of the year. In the summer, heat drives you indoors, and on a rainy day, well…nobody likes to sit outside and get wet. For this reason, your patio often doesn’t seem to “count” as living space since you use it so infrequently.
Covering the Patio
There are a variety of options for covering up your patio and turning it into a cooler, cozier and more comfortable living space to extend your enjoyment of your home.
Aluminum patio covers: Aluminum patio covers provide unmatched protection from rain, snow and the blistering heat of the summer sun at a reasonable cost and with little maintenance. In the summer, a patio cover can reduce the heat inside your home and lower your need for air conditioning. All patio cover components are made from durable, weather-tight aluminum (making them environmentally friendly) and can be custom cut to fit your specific needs.
By shielding your patio from adverse weather conditions, Aladdin’s patio covers literally add new life and extra living space to your home. A covered patio is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, dining, and playing, and create an outdoor oasis for you, your family and friends.
Retractable awnings: If you’d like the option of a covered patio and an open patio, retractable awnings are a perfect way to gain that flexibility and turn your patio into a beautiful outdoor room. You can extend your awning when you’re outside and retract it while indoors to let in natural sunlight to brighten and warm your home. It’s there when you need it and gone when you don’t. Retractable awnings are durable and available either motorized or hand-cranked, with widths up to 40 feet and projections up to 23 feet.
Aladdin offers more than 150 weatherproof fabrics to choose from (find the fabric gallery here). The Sunesta patio awning family comes with a lifetime guarantee.
