Custom solid patio covers in vinyl or aluminum will be the best choice for winter patio enclosures that require sealing and insulation. You’re going to want to know about Alumawood for a solid roof that looks like wood, or Elitewood or even Alumalattice which can be custom designed to be semi solid or close and open by a push of a button.

What to look for when Choosing Custom Solid Patio Covers:
Custom solid patio covers should be designed with some features in mind, so that later your patio winter enclosures do not become a maintenance nightmare. So, make sure you get a contractor who uses strong, long-lasting and low maintenance aluminum or vinyl. Check that the kits you may decide to buy have sturdy beam construction and have the versatility of being colored or textured with a wood grain finish so your patio winter enclosures don’t stand out as being too different from the house. If you go with products that are weather resistant like the popular Aluma-Shield finishes, then you will be sure that the harshest of sun, wind, rain and snow will not adversely affect your patio covers. Many aluminum style have baked enamel finishes for two reasons: one for durability and the other is to allow for color choices to match your house.
