Aluminum patio roofs offer strength and durability, which make them a wise choice for patio roofs. Aluminum patios are also an economical choice of material. "An inexpensive, yet effective, patio cover is made from aluminum," according to wise4geek.com, which adds that cleaning an aluminum patio roof is as simple as spraying it down with water. Aluminum patio roofs are also a great choice because they can be matched to your home due to new technology that bakes colored enamel onto the surface.

On the Other: Alumawood Is the Best of Both Worlds

An aluminum patio roof is a great choice for any homeowner, but the new Alumawood may be an even better choice because it combines the strength and durability of aluminum with the natural look of wood. Alumawood is made from aluminum, but is embossed with a natural wood-grain texture. According to shadebuilder.com, Alumawood offers "the great looks of the most expensive lumber without the maintenance."

Bottom Line

If functionality and price are your biggest considerations, an aluminum patio cover is a great system. "Aluminum patio covers will never rot or rust," according to Solara, a patio cover manufacturer. The ease of maintenance is another reason why aluminum patio covers are still a mainstay of patio coverings.
