Aluminum vs wood

Built like a structure, not a shade product.

Engineered first. Manufactured in-house. Built with precision.

At Aluglobus, we don't just supply aluminum systems. We engineer and manufacture the components that make them work.

Inside our U.S. machine shop we make custom aluminum parts with CNC aluminum machining, precision laser cutting and aluminum sheet metal fabrication: engineered brackets and connection plates, specialized mounting hardware and custom components for our patio covers and pergolas. Making them ourselves gives us more control over quality, fit and customization.

U.S.-based manufacturing facility

Our American machine shop manufactures aluminum components and custom parts for Aluglobus systems.

Engineered before manufacturing

Components start with technical design and engineering before they move into precision production.

Precision CNC machining

Custom aluminum parts are CNC-machined for consistent dimensions, accurate connections and dependable fit.

In-house laser cutting

Precision-cut aluminum sheets, mounting plates, brackets and specialized components.

Custom aluminum fabrication

Specialized brackets, connectors, mounting solutions and custom-designed parts made to your project requirements.

Quality control through direct manufacturing

More oversight of production for consistent components, accurate tolerances and reliable system compatibility.

Built for contractors and custom projects

Our fabrication supports patio covers, pergolas, architectural applications and specialized installations.

A manufacturer behind the system

We show the process. So you know who stands behind the product.

Not just a supplier. From engineering drawings to finished aluminum components, we make the parts that make the system work.

Plan your patio cover

7-stage powder coating

A finish built to last outdoors.

Every patio system is finished through a 7-stage powder coating process, with an AAMA 2604 compliant approach.

Powder coating line for Aluglobus aluminum
  • Prep before powder. Most coating failures start before the powder goes on, so every part is pretreated in stages first.
  • 110 ft oven. Long-span beams and patio profiles cure in one piece in a 110 ft powder coating oven.
  • Adhesion and corrosion resistance. The pretreatment helps the powder bond and protects the aluminum outdoors.
  • Colors and woodgrain. Black, white, custom colors and woodgrain-look finishes with TIGER and Cardinal powders.

FAQ

Beam roof questions, answered.

Is this a standard kit or custom package?

This is a quote-based material package. The package sizes give a starting point, but final pricing depends on actual dimensions, beam spacing, post layout, color, attachment style, engineering, freight, installation, and project needs.

Does a beam roof provide full rain protection?

An open beam roof is mainly designed for shade, airflow, and architectural light patterns. If rain protection is needed, the project can be reviewed for a polycarbonate roof option, automatic louver system, or insulated roof system.

Can polycarbonate be added above the beams?

Yes. Beam roof systems can be planned with a polycarbonate roof option where a light-filtering top is preferred while keeping the aluminum beam structure visible.

Can this system be attached to the house?

Yes. The beam roof patio cover can be planned as attached or freestanding depending on the structure, attachment condition, engineering, and project layout.

Can contractors request special pricing?

Yes. Contractors, builders, designers, and project teams can request factory-direct package pricing based on project scope, layout, options, and material volume.

Still not sure? Call (888) 876-3006 or send us your project.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still deciding?

Send your measurements and photos. Our team will help you choose the right system and parts.

Request a quote
Does the beam roof give full shade?

No. The open beams create a pattern of light and shade rather than full cover. If you want a light-filtering top, ask about the polycarbonate roof option.

Can I choose the beam spacing?

Yes. Beam direction and spacing are reviewed for each project as part of building your package.

Freestanding or attached?

Both are possible. Tell us whether the structure will stand alone or attach to a building so we can plan posts and beams.

What colors are available?

Black, woodgrain and custom powder-coat colors are available.

Which beam size will I get?

Beams are 2" x 8" or 2" x 10" in 16', 20' or 24' lengths, selected for your span and layout.
