It can be great to expand your living space by adding an outdoor room, such as a patio. However, with the strong sun, sometimes you might want to be outside in the nice breeze but not have the sun beating down directly on you. One way to do this is to consider purchasing patio covers in Henderson NV. There are a number of options available, each with their pros and cons. Taking a few factors into consideration can make the decision of which patio cover to purchase a little bit easier.
Cost Considerations
Vinyl patio covers tend to be among the least expensive options and are available in a wide variety of colors and styles. Wood patio covers tend to be among the most expensive. Metal patio covers, such as those made from aluminum, tend to fall somewhere between vinyl and wood when it comes to price.
Maintenance Considerations
Both metal and vinyl patio covers in Henderson NV are pretty low maintenance. They tend to come in easy-to-install kits and, because they’re resistant to rot, insects, and many other potentially damaging things, they last a long time without much maintenance. They mainly need to be rinsed off from time to time to keep them clean. Wood, on the other hand, needs to be regularly sanded or repainted to keep it looking good and to minimize potential rotting, warping, and peeling.
Heat Considerations
It can get quite hot in Nevada, so it may be best to stay away from metal patio covers. Metal tends to conduct heat very well, meaning that it will most likely be very hot under a metal patio cover. A vinyl or wood cover may be a better choice in this type of climate. Those who want the look of wood with the convenience of aluminum but without the heat problem may also want to consider a product made from Alumawood, which has an aluminum core with a surface that has the appearance of wood.
