A metal R-panel roof radiates Texas sun straight down — you can feel the heat dump off the underside in late afternoon. A fabric cover is great for UV but doesn't slow conduction. Insulated foam-core panels are the only structural cover that drops under-cover temps 25–35°F on a 100°F San Antonio day.
If you have a built-in grill, smoker, pizza oven or full outdoor kitchen, an insulated cover keeps the cook area livable and protects ceiling fans and TVs from rain. We spec 6-inch R-26 panels over kitchens where grill heat would otherwise stack under the cover.
Pool & spa shadePanels lock with a tongue-and-groove seam and we integrate a gutter and downspouts on the perimeter — usually draining to existing landscape drainage. Use the patio in heavy San Antonio thunderstorms without water blowing under the cover.
Aluminum patio covers25–35°F under-cover vs. open patio on a 100°F San Antonio afternoon. The underside stays cool to the touch.
R-13 (3-inch) standard. R-26 (6-inch) for outdoor kitchens or anywhere grill/smoker heat would stack.
