Alumawood vs. Regular Wood
Guaranteed in Southern California
As a fellow Southern California native I have grown accustomed to our way of life. There are a few things we can count on with some sort of regularity and certainty. Naturally we have the earthquakes that for some are like riding a rollercoaster at Disneyland while for others, the experience is followed by an hour or two of recuperating while texting friends to see if they felt it. And of course who can forget about sitting in traffic; day or night, summer or winter, it‘s always there.
But we also have the really hot summer months in July, August and September which translates into a really uncomfortable home or a incredibly high electricity bill. The cost of running the air conditioning in summer is out-of-control. So we either have to suck it up or live in massive discomfort.
Wood in SoCal Doesn’t Make Sense
Another element to the Southern California lifestyle is the damage that can be caused to by the sun and moisture. We all have seen what the sun can do to the things we leave outside. That’s why we put on SPF30 (or should put on) when we go to the beach or lounge by the pool. We burn. Our toys get faded, crack and warp. The same thing happens to our patio cover. The sun and moisture combination will warp your beams and fascia, split your posts and force you to make regular repairs as well as continued maintenance. With Alumawood, the finish and materials have a lifetime warranty. There is built-in protection.
Bugs, bugs and more bugs - Something else to consider is the damage caused by termites and other wood bearing insects to your wood patio cover. These little flyers don’t have a real preference when it comes to where they build their nests and to what wood they eat. They would just as easily destroy your patio covers as they would your house. The nice thing about an Alumawood patio cover is that those rotten little pests aren’t interested.
Enjoy Those Summer Days
Sit around under your Alumawood patio cover and relax with friends. Enjoy that fact that you don’t have to care for it, you don’t have to fumigate it, and you don’t have to worry about it’s shabby appearance. Life is too short and we are all too busy to do work that is unnecessary. With Alumawood, you can relax with the surety that your time will be invested in areas that more important and make life more memorable.
