Alumawood Insulated patio cover
What is an IRP, or otherwise known as an “insulated roofed Maxx panel insulated“? Amerimax, AKA Alumawood, produces patio covers that actually have high-density foam insulation sandwiched between two pieces of aluminum with a cedar embossed appearance. This foam insulated panel is what keeps the radiant heat from passing through the top of the cover and then onto your skin.
Essentially, the radiant heat is what makes you uncomfortable under your Maxx panel insulated patio cover. The Maxx panel, cover reduces the heat transfer through the cover.
Alumawoods R-value of their panels
When you choose to install the Alumawood Insulated panel (Maxx panel) in your patio cover, believe it or not, you can actually feel the difference. How, do you ask? Well to start off, the high-density solid patio cover foam panels are resistant to radiant heat as mentioned, which makes sitting under these covers more enjoyable.
Wilki says it like this... “In building and construction, the R-value is a measure of how well an object, per unit of its exposed area, resists the conductive flow of heat: the greater the R-value, the greater the resistance, and so the better the thermal insulating properties of the object.” Call us for more information (661) 212-1446
Why “R” Values Are Important In a Patio Cover Roof
Take into consideration, we can’t really achieve an “R” rating of 140R because we can’t manufacturer the panels at a thickness of 10″, that would look a little weird. Our cedar embossed insulated panels supplied by Amerimax are 3″ in thickness and the R-rating for these panels hoover around *13.95R according to Elitealuminum products, give or take a few micro R’s.
“Sitting under these Maxx panel insulated covers is like sitting under the most shady-est shady tree you can find… Really.”
