Before You Buy a Fence, Gate, or Patio... See Where It Actually Comes From

Inside the factory

See where your patio cover is actually made.

Aluglobus fabricates its own aluminum systems and ships them factory direct to homeowners and contractors across the U.S. Our most-watched video, with 250,041 views, walks through the shop.

  • Project-specific fabrication, not fixed kit sizes
  • Punching, laser cutting, milling and bending in the shop
  • 7-stage powder coating with a 110 ft oven for long profiles
  • Packed and shipped to your job site or warehouse

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.

  • 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.

ALU FLOAT™

Architectural Cantilever Patio System

ALU FLOAT moves the support structure away from the front edge, so the space under the roof stays open for seating, dining, outdoor kitchens and views.

Roofs can be automatic louver, insulated panel, slat or selected beam roofs, depending on engineering. Every cantilever is configured around load, attachment, span and layout.

ALU SIGNATURE™

Architectural Laser-Cut Patio System

ALU SIGNATURE turns the roof into a design feature. Laser-cut panels create shadow patterns, privacy and identity: geometric, organic, decorative or fully project-specific.

The framing stays a factory-built aluminum patio system, and the panels can be combined with slat, louver or insulated roof zones.

FAQ

Patio cover questions

Straight answers on systems, pricing, sizing, shipping and finishes. Still unsure? Talk to the team.

Which patio system is right for me?

Start with what you want overhead. Adjustable sun and rain cover: ALU TANK or the DIY ALU FLEX kit. Full shade and a finished ceiling: ALU THERMA. Filtered shade: ALU LINEA or ALU SPAN. Light through with a covered roof: ALU LUMEN. No front posts: ALU FLOAT. A one-of-a-kind look: ALU SIGNATURE. Not sure? Send photos and we will recommend one.

How much does an aluminum patio cover cost?

Starting packages begin at $4,130 for the ALU SPAN beam roof, $4,800 for ALU FLOAT cantilever, $5,720 for ALU LINEA slats, $7,900 for ALU THERMA insulated, $10,050 for ALU TANK and $11,551 for the ALU FLEX DIY kit. Final pricing depends on size, layout, color, engineering, freight, installation and permits.

Do you make custom sizes?

Yes. Systems are built around your project dimensions, including wall-mounted, freestanding, multi-zone, wide-span and cantilever layouts.

Is aluminum non-combustible?

Yes. The aluminum components are non-combustible, which makes them a strong fit for fire-conscious exterior projects compared with wood framing.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. Aluglobus supplies factory direct across the U.S. and ships to your job site or warehouse. Freight is quoted with your project.

Can I install it myself?

ALU FLEX is a boxed DIY kit. The other systems are usually installed by contractors, and we provide installation and assembly guidance.

What finishes are available?

Black is standard on most systems, with custom colors, woodgrain-look finishes and TIGER and Cardinal powders available through our 7-stage powder-coat process.
