Aluminum Patio Covers & Louvered Pergolas

Outdoor Elements offers all three, and we install all three. A louvered roof has adjustable aluminum blades that open for sun and close to a watertight seal against rain, so you control light, airflow, and weather. A solid roof uses insulated panels for full, fixed coverage and can noticeably cool the space beneath it. A lattice is an open framework that casts filtered, partial shade with an airy, open feel. We match the roof type to how you want to use the space.

Yes. When closed, a quality louvered roof seals to a watertight barrier, and integrated gutters with concealed downspouts channel the water away. The louvers rotate fully open for sun and closed against rain and wind, and on motorized models a rain sensor can close the roof automatically if a storm arrives while you are away. The systems are engineered for heavy rain, and the Solace line is rated up to 70 lb of snow load.

Yes, the adjustable louvers are motorized. You control them from a smart-device app or a proprietary handheld remote, so opening, closing, or tilting the roof is a single tap. The same controls run the integrated LED channel lighting, which is dimmable and even has a party mode with ambient green, blue, and red tones. Motorized privacy screens can add Somfy smart control as well.

There are 24 powder-coated colors: 10 classic and 14 designer options, from neutrals like taupe, platinum grey, black, white, and bronze to bold tones like ruby red and mint turquoise. The frame and the louvers can be colored independently, so you can keep a unified look or use the louvers as an accent. Because options can change, we confirm the current palette with you at the consult. The finish is a Super Duty powder coat, cured twice for lasting, fade-resistant color.

Decades, with almost no upkeep. High-grade extruded aluminum with stainless steel fasteners does not rot, warp, rust, splinter, or need repainting, and the twice-baked Super Duty powder coat resists fading. Unlike wood, there is no annual sealing or staining, an occasional rinse to clear dust and pollen keeps it looking new. This low-maintenance, long-life durability is the main reason homeowners choose aluminum over wood.

Outdoor Elements backs these systems with a 10-year limited manufacturer warranty on residential installations and a 15-year limited warranty on commercial ones. The fans carry their own coverage: a lifetime motor warranty, 5 years on the LED, 2 years on the fan, and 1 year on other components. We review the exact coverage for your specific model and options in writing before you commit, and we stand behind our installation work.

Yes, these are the upgrades that turn a cover into a true three-season room. Options include automated motorized privacy screens with Somfy smart control for shade, privacy, and ventilation; heaters in gas or electric, surface or flush mount, with a stainless steel coated finish; and energy-saving DC-motor fans that are factory-balanced, silent, and use up to 70 percent less power. It is best to plan these in at design so the structure, power, and supports are built to carry them, and we coordinate the electrical rough-ins through our licensed trade partners.

People search for both, and in practice they overlap. A louvered pergola, a louvered roof, and an aluminum patio cover all describe an adjustable aluminum roof system. Outdoor Elements builds several lines, including Solace, its luxury dual louvered system, Skypeak, a pitched-roof pergola, Skyview, an open lattice pergola, and the Signature louvered line, along with an original 8-inch adjustable louvered roof, solid insulated panels, and cantilever patio covers. We install these across Knoxville and East Tennessee and help you pick the right model for your home.
