We are firmly entrenched in summer, and the word ‘shade’ is a very popular word as daytime temperatures in Southern Nevada soar to 110 degrees and above. Patio covers bring relief from the sun while providing a pleasant environment to enjoy an iced beverage.
Did you know that on average there are 294 days of sunshine per year in Southern Nevada? A perfect patio cover can maximize a comfortable outdoor living space during these summer months, according to Custom Outdoor Creations, which specializes in Alumawood Patio Covers. The company builds freestanding and custom patio covers — lattice, solid or combination — and also outdoor kitchens that can be customized for needs and budget.
Alumawood is painted aluminum embossed with wood texture and then roll-formed into specific shapes to be used for building materials. The structures are affordable, easy to maintain and hold up against wind and rain, and the paint doesn’t fade. Generally, normal rainfall is sufficient to keep its appearance clean. Alumawood comes in several colors including White, Desert Sand, Spanish Brown, Latte and Mojave Tan.
According to Custom Outdoor Creations, “Backyards and other outdoor areas where people relax have become very popular since the pandemic. About a year ago, people realized they would be staying home more than ever before and wanted to utilize their outdoor space. And there is nothing smarter than to invest in your home, and that includes expanding or upgrading your backyard, especially when it involves shade, which is a luxury here.”
With an aluminum patio cover, the area can be 20 degrees cooler and at the same time increase the value of the home. Aluminum retains the heat that escapes into the air above the cover. Also, the patio cover can be enclosed with thick aluminum panels filled with foam that decreases the heat or cold. The unit can also be built with tinted windows and doors, a skylight and recessed lighting along with a fan. Basically, the patio becomes an extension of the home.
