The extruded-aluminum tier, for homeowners who want the best
4K is our premium product line — heavier extruded aluminum, cantilevered designs, and the decorative Soleil panel. It is the top of the range, typically two to five times the cost of standard covers, and built for distinctive architecture.
Extruded, not roll-formed
Standard aluminum covers — including the Duralum systems we install most often — use roll-formed panels that perform beautifully for the vast majority of homes. 4K steps up to extruded aluminum: thicker, structurally stronger sections that enable longer spans, bolder cantilevers, and a more substantial architectural presence.
It's a premium, lower-volume choice. Most DFW homeowners are perfectly served by our standard pergolas and patio covers; 4K exists for projects where design ambition and budget call for the very top of the range.
- Extruded aluminum — heavier gauge than standard roll-formed
- Cantilevered designs with longer post-free spans
- Decorative Soleil panel and wood-sublimated finish options
- Premium detailing suited to high-end custom homes
