Benefits of Insulated Roof Panels for Your Patio

September 5, 2023
Brian Sonnier

We understand the significance of insulated covered patios in Houston. Often overlooked, these panels offer more than just a structurally sound roof; they also enhance the visual appeal of a fully or partially enclosed structure. Moreover, their practicality shines through in various settings. After experiencing the intense heat and humidity of a Texas summer in a non-insulated outdoor porch or screen room enclosure, many of our clients request the construction of new spaces that incorporate insulated roof panels.


Year Round Insulated Roof Panels Functionality


Functional throughout every season, insulated roof panels are versatile and can be installed on any metal outdoor patio. In the summer, they offer essential protection against the persistent humidity that Texas often experiences. As fall, winter, and early spring arrive, these panels become invaluable in reducing clamminess. In fact, by incorporating insulated roof panels, a covered space that may have previously been overlooked during the summer and winter months can transform into a four-season room, providing ample shade options and becoming a highly utilized area.

Our Weatherproof & Durable Roof Panels 


The insulated roof panels we offer for our aluminum patio covers in Houston are available in different thickness levels, ranging from 3", 4", to 6". These panels are designed to be robust enough to bear the weight of average-sized tree branches, limbs, and even light snowfall. Additionally, they are engineered to withstand high wind gusts and heavy rain showers, ensuring long-lasting durability. Moreover, our insulated roof panels can be seamlessly joined together to insulate spaces of various sizes. For installation convenience, they can be easily fitted using our Kynar 500 coated custom columns.

Beat the Heat in Summer and Stay Warm in Winter


Our insulated roof panels are designed to enhance comfort during extreme weather conditions, while also potentially reducing long-term heating and cooling expenses. In the winter, a roof-insulated sunroom can be comfortably warmed using a small space heater, whereas a non-insulated room may require a separate heating source. Similarly, during the summer, an insulated room may only require intermittent air conditioning or a low fan setting to maintain a comfortable temperature, while cooling a non-insulated space may prove challenging. Additionally, we offer optional light fixtures, electrical outlets, and outdoor fans for pergolas, patio screen enclosures, or patio covers, providing additional convenience and functionality.

We strive to  use the highest-quality building materials and methods to construct versatile, durable outdoor spaces and structures. Contact the
