When it comes to materials for building pergolas, aluminum remains a top choice year after year here in coastal Florida for a reason. The tropical climates of Southern Florida allow homeowners to enjoy outdoor living year-round, but that same humidity and heat can also take a significant toll on building materials. Aluminum pergolas are the perfect combination of form and function so Florida homeowners can easily design an outdoor space that requires minimal maintenance and will stand up to the elements. Without further ado, here’s why you should opt for an aluminum pergola for your Florida home.
Top Five Benefits Of Aluminum Pergolas
1. Extremely durable
Durability is the number one reason why so many Florida homeowners who work with us decide to build aluminum pergolas versus wood or other less durable materials. Today’s powder-coated aluminum pergolas will not corrode, rust, or decay – a key point here in South Florida, where the salt water, high humidity, and consistent rainfall are serious considerations for any building material. Nobody wants to spend more money or time than necessary just to maintain an existing structure, which is why aluminum pergolas remain a Florida favorite.
2. Minimal maintenance
Unlike wooden pergolas, which require constant refinishing and cleaning, a leaf blower and a bit of water every once in a while is all you need to keep your aluminum pergola looking brand spankin’ new. We offer incredibly durable powder-coated finishes that eliminate the need to sand, paint, or seal on a yearly basis, unlike with wooden pergolas. Plus, these new finishes retain their color year after year without the need for endless touch-ups, so year five will look the same as the year you installed it!
3. Contemporary aesthetics
Aluminum pergolas create clean lines and an extremely sleek look for modern homes. Plus, they’re highly customizable; for a fraction of the price it takes with other materials, you can design a unique aluminum pergola according to your specific preferences and tastes. Our firm will help you create an outdoor space that is an extension of your home and style!
4. Energy efficient
Aluminum pergolas help keep your energy bills down by blocking the powerful Florida sun from the exterior of your house. The reflective surface also absorbs a minimal amount of heat, keeping both you and your home cool. This is a great way to hit a double whammy and lower your air conditioning bills while enjoying a beautiful outdoor space at the same time!
5. Environmentally friendly
Aluminum is a recyclable material that can be manufactured using much less energy than other types of materials. Vinyl is cheap, but less sturdy and less environmentally friendly than aluminum, as vinyl is less recyclable. If you love the environment, aluminum is the smart choice for your outdoor living space.
