Why Weatherwood
Real wood-grain looks, zero wood-grain upkeep
Weatherwood by Duralum is wood-grain aluminum — embossed and finished to look like natural timber, but engineered to outlast it. It never needs painting or staining, and it won’t rot, warp, split or attract termites the way real wood does in the Southern California sun.
Duralum has manufactured aluminum patio covers in the USA since 1962, making it one of the most experienced names in the industry. We install it as a certified, factory-trained dealer — handling your design, HOA submittals, engineering and permits from start to finish.
Three roof styles
Pick the shade that fits your patio
Californian Solid
Full shade · rain-ready
A solid roof for full, year-round shade and rain protection. Finished with Duralum’s DuraTough Coating™ that resists dirt, stains, heat and corrosion.
Shade
Monterey Insulated
Coolest · quietest
A foam-core roof panel slows heat transfer and hushes outside noise — so the space stays cooler and calmer. Available in 3″, 4¼″ or 6″ thickness.

Weatherwood questions
Do you install Alumawood patio covers?
“Alumawood” is a well-known brand of wood-grain aluminum patio cover, so many homeowners use the name for the whole category. We install Weatherwood by Duralum — the same kind of wood-grain aluminum cover, with the look of real wood and none of the upkeep.
Does the wood-grain finish need painting or sealing?
No. The wood-grain finish is baked on at the factory. It never needs painting or staining and won’t rot, warp or attract termites.
Which style is coolest in summer?
The Monterey Insulated roof. Its foam core slows heat transfer and also reduces outside noise, so the space underneath stays noticeably cooler and quieter.
Is the warranty really transferable?
Yes — Duralum’s lifetime warranty transfers to the next homeowner, which most competitors don’t offer and which can help at resale.
Can I add lights, fans or gutters?
Absolutely. Covers can be built ceiling-fan ready and with recessed lighting, integrated gutters and decorative rafter-tail ends.
How long will it last?
A properly installed Weatherwood cover typically lasts 20–30 years or more, backed by the transferable lifetime warranty.
