FAQs
A lattice cover is a type of outdoor shade structure designed to provide partial sun protection while maintaining airflow and an open-air feel. Unlike solid patio covers that offer full shade, a lattice patio cover consists of spaced-out slats or beams that enable filtered sunlight to pass through while still reducing heat and glare. Lattice covers are perfect for homeowners who want a balance between shade and natural light. They’re ideal for patios, gardens, and poolside areas.
Alumawood’s Lattice pergolas are an excellent alternative to traditional wooden pergolas. Made from high-quality aluminum, they ensure a longer lifespan and a visually appealing outdoor space, all year round.
The best type of lattice depends on your needs, climate, and maintenance preferences. Traditional wooden lattice covers may offer a classic look but require frequent upkeep, such as painting, sealing, and repairs due to exposure to moisture, insects, and sun damage.
Alumawood’s Lattice patio covers provide the best balance of durability, aesthetics, and low maintenance. These aluminum shade structures mimic the rich texture of wood while offering superior weather resistance and longevity. Unlike vinyl, which can become brittle over time, or wood, which deteriorates without maintenance, aluminum remains structurally sound and requires minimal upkeep.
On top of those benefits, we offer a range of customizable options, including color choices, end-cut designs, and beam configurations, so homeowners can create a personalized outdoor space that complements their home’s style.
Yes! An aluminum patio cover is one of the best choices for homeowners seeking a reliable, low-maintenance, and stylish shade solution. Aluminum won’t warp, rot, or attract termites, so it’s ideal for long-term outdoor use. It’s also resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring it stands up to rain, wind, and sun exposure without deteriorating.
Alumawood’s aluminum shade structures are coated with the Aluma-Shield® paint system with Teflon® surface protector, which helps repel dirt, dust, and oil while preventing fading and damage from UV exposure. This makes aluminum not only a practical choice but also a cost-effective one, as it eliminates the need for frequent repairs and repainting.
Furthermore, aluminum allows for greater design flexibility, enabling homeowners to choose from various colors, finishes, and decorative details to match their outdoor aesthetic. Whether you want a modern or traditional look, an aluminum patio cover provides the perfect combination of style and durability.
A well-made aluminum patio cover can last for several decades, far outlasting traditional wood or vinyl alternatives. Alumawood’s Lattice patio covers are engineered for longevity, with high-quality materials and advanced coatings that keep them looking new for years.
Unlike standard lattice pergolas, aluminum covers maintain their structural integrity with minimal effort. Simply rinsing them with water or wiping them down occasionally is enough to keep them in great condition. With proper care, an Alumawood Lattice cover can easily last 30 years or more—it’s a smart and long-lasting investment for your outdoor living space.
