Homeowners looking to extend their living space and get more enjoyment out of their home year-round are increasingly turning to insulated patio covers as a solution. Insulated patio covers are a creative way to enhance your home, whether you want to elevate your living space, add to your property’s resale value, or find a way to enjoy the outdoors even in harsh or unpredictable weather conditions. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast looking for your next project or an eco-conscious homeowner looking to make a green addition to your home, insulated patio covers are a practical and cost-effective investment. Here’s what you need to know.
Insulated patio covers are roofing systems installed over patios, gardens, decks, and other outdoor living spaces. They are designed to provide a thermal barrier between the outdoor elements and the space they cover. These covers are usually constructed with foam materials sandwiched between aluminum pieces, resulting in a lightweight yet durable shield. This distinguishes them from traditional patio covers, which are generally made from a single layer of non-insulated material and do not provide the same level of protection against heat and cold.
An insulated cover dramatically reduces the heat transfer through the patio roof, which makes your outdoor space more energy efficient. Your home’s cooling system doesn’t have to work as hard to offset the heat gain, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint and lower energy bills.
By creating a habitable outdoor space that requires less climate control, these patio covers can also serve as an eco-friendly home upgrade, helping homeowners enjoy their living space more while contributing to a greener environment at the same time.
During the hot summer months, insulated patio covers can decrease the temperature on your patio by as much as 15 degrees, creating a much more enjoyable environment for relaxation and entertaining. In the sweltering summer months in the Ozarks, this can mean an appreciable difference in your family’s ability to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine without being driven indoors by heat exhaustion.
In colder seasons, they shield against the elements, keeping snow and rain from entering the space and preventing radiative heat loss.
Energy savings can offset the initial installation cost of an insulated patio cover over time. Since insulated patio covers help regulate the temperature of your outdoor space, you may use less energy to cool or heat your home. They also require less maintenance than non-insulated covers, reducing long-term costs.
An insulated patio cover adds functional living space to your home, which can be a significant selling point if you put your home on the market. It can also add visual curb appeal to your outdoor space, adding to the overall value of your property.
Selecting the right patio cover involves a balance of material strength, aesthetic appeal, and financial investment. It’s essential to consider both the style of the cover and the materials used in its construction to ensure that your insulated patio cover can work for your home in the way you hope it will.
Our insulated patio covers are constructed using expanded polystyrene (EPS) technology, with insulating properties known to perform well even in unpredictable climates. EPS technology houses an insulated core between heavy gauge aluminum layers, providing outstanding outdoor heat protection and notable sound reduction, making it an excellent choice for those in noisy or rainy areas.
Our patio covers include the ability to upgrade with the IllumaView natural light system. This optional patented natural light panel interlocks seamlessly with your insulated panels, allowing moderate light under your patio cover.
With the addition of screen or sunroom walls and a door, it’s easy to transform your insulated patio to a sunroom or screened-in porch down the line, which can help future-proof your investment for years to come.
