Benefits of SkyLift Patio Covers
When the sun shines in Oregon, everyone knows you have to take advantage of the good weather while it lasts. The right home additions allow you to enjoy outdoor living in almost every season.
With a SkyLift patio cover, you’ll not only gain protection from the elements but also a versatile upgrade developed for Oregon’s unique environment. Here are a few surprising benefits inherent to choosing a brilliant SkyLift design.
1. Elevate Aesthetics
SkyLift patio covers aren’t like your average awning. These models attach to your structure at the roofline, but rather than resting below the eaves, they’re elevated above the roof, increasing the flow of air and light while protecting you from sun and rain.
The design is modern and streamlined, adding distinctive character and statement style to outdoor living spaces.
With a range of materials, colors, and finishes to choose from, and options to customize, you can select an addition aligned with a classic or contemporary home exterior, along with existing cedar decking or fencing. Alternatively, you can go bold and create a focal moment in your design.
Most importantly, your upgrade will reflect your personal style and add comfort and beauty to your backyard.
2. Create a Space That Breathes
The innovative advantage of a SkyLift patio cover is the open space it leaves between the cover and the roofline. Using specialized brackets to elevate the cover above the roof increases ventilation, helping the space to stay cool and breezy on hot summer days.
The gap also allows for additional natural light in the patio area, as well as added height, making the space feel bigger and brighter. Spacious and airy, your patio will become the preferred place to lounge and entertain, day or night, whatever the weather.
3. Pitch a Shutout
Patio covers are inherently designed to keep things out — primarily the sun, rain, and debris falling from overhead branches. Although SkyLift covers are elevated to let air and light flow through your space, they still do a great job of performing their primary function of providing shelter from the elements to increase comfort and enjoyment of outdoor spaces. These products do a lot more, too!
Facilitate Runoff
One unexpected benefit of elevating your patio cover above the roofline is that you also increase the pitch, or slant, of the cover. This enhanced slope promotes runoff, helping rain, snow, and tree debris find their way to the ground, away from the foundation of your home.
In turn, you enjoy reduced risks for upper-level leaks and lower-level pooling and flooding. SkyLift patio covers keep your patio area clean and dry, regardless of wet weather conditions.
Prevent Moisture Buildup
The slope of your patio cover and gutters along the edge of the roofline funnel water away from your patio and the foundations of your home. However, the elevated SkyLift design also allows for unfettered airflow around the roof and walls. This helps alleviate the threat of heat and moisture buildup where the roof and patio cover meet.
In a damp environment, mold, mildew, and rot are always a concern, but the structural innovation of SkyLift covers preserves a well-ventilated patio area conducive to airflow.
Keep the Rays at Bay
Sunny days are savored in the wetter parts of Oregon. But you don’t necessarily need to risk severe sunburn to enjoy balmy weather. Effective and durable SkyLift patio covers provide the shade you need when grilling, entertaining, or napping on your porch, while ensuring a cooler environment, thanks to increased airflow.
4. Forward Thinking Flexibility
Any home addition requires extensive consideration and planning. This includes exterior construction, like a permanent patio cover. Many models are designed to attach directly to your existing home structure, and SkyLift patio covers are no exception.
However, specialized brackets attach to only a small area of the roof, minimizing disruption of existing architecture and preserving your original roofline. If you decide to change it up later, it’s easier to remove or replace a SkyLift patio cover than a typical home addition that fully attaches to an exterior wall or an expansive section of the roof.
The Sky Is the Limit With SkyLift Patio Covers
Pioneering SkyLift patio covers literally take sun and rain protection to a whole new level. In addition to warding off the elements, these attractive fixtures supply myriad practical benefits Oregon homeowners will love.
Added light and airflow increase the comfort and appeal of your outdoor oasis while simultaneously minimizing moisture, heat, and common threats like mold and rot. The steeper slope also serves to funnel water down and away from your patio and your home.
