Why Duralum®
Why Duralum® Aluminum Patio Covers in Sacramento, CA
Wood is cheaper on day one. Across twenty Northern California summers, aluminum wins on every measurable line.
Made in the USA
Duralum® and Four Seasons® fabricate every component in American factories to the exact dimensions of your yard.
Real heat performance
The Monterey insulated roof panel bonds a 3-inch foam core between aluminum skins, dropping patio temperature 15–20°F.
Class A non-combustible
Aluminum does not burn. In wildfire-adjacent California communities this rating increasingly decides the material.
Zero maintenance
Factory powder-coated Weatherwood® finishes never need paint or stain. Rinse with a hose and you're done.
Limited lifetime warranty
Material warranty from the manufacturer, workmanship warranty from us — both handed over at the final walkthrough.
