How Long Does Installation Take?

Acrylic patio covers install faster than wood structures because the panels are prefabricated. For a typical patio (16’ wide x 12’ projection), installation is usually completed in 1 day, max 2 days. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time. We provide a detailed timeline during your design consultation and handle all engineering, permitting and inspections, if necessary. 

How Durable are ACRYLITE® Acrylic Patio Covers?

ACRYLITE® panels are engineered to handle heavy snow loads, winds and hail, and the multi‑wall design prevents condensation from dripping onto your patio. The snow load is 25 lbs per square foot on 4’ span in rafters and goes up to 50 lbs. per square foot on 2’ span. The material is shatter‑resistant and will not yellow or degrade like other material. The 10 yr. hail warranty covers replacement if hail damages a panel. Aluminum framing adds strength without rusting or warping, and the powder‑coated finish resists fading.

How Much Maintenance is Required?

ACRYLITE® acrylic patio covers are remarkably low‑maintenance. The panels never need painting or staining and can be cleaned easily with a biodegradable multi-purpose cleaner and/or soap with water. Believe it or not we recommend the one created by Amway since it is biodegradable and has non harsh chemicals. It works wonders on the panels when cleaning, CLICK here to check it out. Aluminum frames resist rust and corrosion, so there’s no scraping or repainting. We recommend occasional cleaning to remove pollen and debris, especially after spring pollen season.

Can I Add Fans, Lighting or Heaters to My Patio Cover?

Absolutely. Our design team can incorporate electrical wiring for ceiling fans, pendant lighting, heaters or even televisions into your patio cover. For heat sources, we recommend natural‑gas or propane patio heaters pointed down away from the panels; open wood‑burning fire pits or chimney should not be used under acrylic covers due to fire risk and black smoke that can stain the panels. We can also add motorized screens or glass walls to enclose your patio. Proper ventilation is important to prevent moisture buildup.

Can I Enclose My Patio Cover to Create a Room?

Yes. Many of our customers choose to add sliding doors, windows, fix glass, or retractable sunshades to create an all-year-round space room. When enclosing, moisture management is critical to avoid condensation. We’ll recommend appropriate ventilation and drainage solutions.
