With insulated patios and pergolas from ATS Awnings, your backyard becomes a true extension of your home, offering year-round comfort and exceptional value that transforms how you live.

Why Insulated Patios and Pergolas Are the Smart Choice for Sydney Homes

Sydney’s diverse climate demands more than basic outdoor coverage. Our insulated patio and pergola systems deliver superior thermal performance that keeps your outdoor area up to 10 degrees cooler in summer and noticeably warmer in winter. This advanced roofing technology combines high-tensile roof sheeting with a pre-finished ceiling, creating a sophisticated outdoor room that works as hard as your indoor spaces.

Year-Round Climate Control

Our insulated roofing panels feature a unique thermal core that actively regulates temperature. During scorching summer days, the insulation blocks radiant heat from penetrating your outdoor space. In winter, it retains warmth, creating a comfortable microclimate perfect for entertaining or relaxation.

Weather Protection That Performs

Beyond temperature control, insulated patios and pergolas provide comprehensive protection from Sydney’s unpredictable weather. The robust construction withstands heavy rain, strong winds, and intense UV exposure while maintaining its structural integrity and appearance for decades.

Dramatic Noise Reduction

The insulated core absorbs sound, reducing rain noise by up to 70%. For passing storms and your conversations continue uninterrupted. This acoustic benefit transforms your patio or pergola into a peaceful retreat where you can truly unwind.

Exceptional Durability and Low Maintenance

Built with premium materials designed for Australian conditions, our insulated systems require minimal upkeep. The pre-finished ceilings resist fading, cracking, and peeling, while the external roofing maintains its appearance with just occasional cleaning. No annual painting or plastering required.

Advanced Design Features

Extended Spans Over 8 Metres

Our engineering expertise allows for impressive spans up to 11.4 metres between supports, creating expansive outdoor areas free from intrusive posts. This design flexibility means more usable space for furniture arrangements, outdoor kitchens, or entertainment zones.

Integrated Lighting and Electrical Options

Concealed wiring channels within the insulated panels accommodate downlights, ceiling fans, and power outlets without visible cables. Create the perfect ambience with dimmable LED downlights or stay cool with whisper-quiet ceiling fans, all seamlessly integrated into your pergola or patio design.

Natural Light Through Skylights

Optional skylights can be incorporated into your insulated roof design, balancing thermal efficiency with natural illumination. These double-glazed units maintain insulation properties while flooding your space with controlled daylight.

Attached to House or Fascia

The most popular choice for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. These structures connect directly to your home's fascia or wall, creating a natural extension of your living space. Perfect for entertaining areas adjacent to kitchens or living rooms, attached patios provide convenient access while sharing your home's structural support for enhanced stability.

Freestanding Designs

Ideal for creating separate outdoor zones or when building regulations prevent attachment to your home. Freestanding insulated patios and pergolas offer complete design freedom, allowing you to position your outdoor area anywhere in your garden. Create a poolside retreat, establish a quiet reading nook away from the house, or design an outdoor dining area with its own distinct identity.

Flyover Configuration

An innovative solution that extends over your existing roofline, the flyover design maximises coverage while maintaining architectural harmony. This style works brilliantly for two-storey homes or when you need to cover large areas without obstructing windows or existing roof features. The elevated design also promotes natural airflow while providing comprehensive weather protection.

Roof Design Options

Flat (Skillion) Roof

Clean, contemporary lines define our flat or skillion roof designs. With a subtle slope for water runoff, these minimalist structures complement modern architecture beautifully. The understated profile doesn't compete with your home's existing design while providing maximum headroom and an open, spacious feel. Skillion roofs work particularly well with attached installations, creating a sleek transition from indoor to outdoor spaces.

Gable Roof

For those seeking classic elegance with enhanced ventilation, our gable roof designs deliver both style and performance. The peaked design with two sloping sides creates a sense of grandeur while naturally encouraging air circulation. Gable roofs add architectural interest to any outdoor space and complement both traditional and contemporary homes. The additional height at the peak accommodates ceiling fans perfectly and creates an impressive entertaining space.

Design Versatility

Beyond installation and roof styles, we offer multiple roofing profiles including traditional corrugated, modern Trimdeck, and contemporary flat designs. Choose from our extensive colour range to match existing roofing or create striking contrasts that enhance your property’s street appeal.

Thickness Options for Optimal Performance

Select from insulation thicknesses ranging from 50mm to 200mm based on your specific needs. Thicker insulation provides superior thermal performance for west-facing areas or spaces requiring maximum climate control. Our Outdoor Living Specialists help determine the ideal specification for your location and lifestyle.

Solar-Ready Construction

Planning for solar panels? Our insulated roofing systems are engineered to support solar installations, helping you harness Sydney’s abundant sunshine while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your outdoor space. The robust structure easily accommodates panel mounting systems without compromising the insulation benefits.

Real Value for Your Investment

Adding an insulated patio or pergola delivers immediate lifestyle benefits while significantly increasing property value. Real estate data shows quality outdoor improvements can add 5-15% to home values in Sydney markets. More importantly, you gain usable living space equivalent to adding another room, but at a fraction of the cost. The energy efficiency benefits also translate to real savings. By reducing heat transfer into your home during summer, your insulated outdoor space acts as a thermal buffer, potentially lowering cooling costs by 15-20%. Similarly, winter heating requirements decrease when your outdoor area provides an additional insulation layer.

Creating your ideal insulated patio or pergola begins with understanding your vision.

Insulated patio roofs differ from standard patio roofs in that they feature a dual-layer design with an insulating material sandwiched between them. This structure allows for superior thermal regulation, keeping spaces cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Standard patio roofs, on the other hand, usually consist of a single layer of material without any insulating properties, resulting in less effective temperature control.

What is the difference between a patio roof, pergola, and awning?
A patio roof, pergola, and awning each provide a unique solution for outdoor shading and protection, but they differ in structure, purpose, and appearance.

A patio roof is typically an extension of the home’s roof, providing permanent protection against the elements. It can be constructed from a range of materials and is designed to seamlessly blend with the architecture of the house.

On the other hand, a pergola is a free-standing or attached outdoor garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway, or sitting area. It consists of vertical posts or pillars supporting cross-beams, often adorned with vines. While it provides partial sun protection, its primary purpose is to define an outdoor space with a touch of style and elegance.

An awning is a secondary covering attached to the exterior wall of a building or freestanding as a standalone feature to complement the home. It’s best suited for outdoor entertainment areas or to cover a walkway around the home for weather protection.

Each of these options has its benefits, and your choice should depend on your specific needs, preferences, and the architectural style of your home.

In Australia, a patio is commonly referred to as a “verandah.” A verandah is a roofed, open-air gallery or porch that’s typically attached to the exterior of a building. It is designed to provide shelter and a shaded area for outdoor living, just like patios in other parts of the world. However, the design and construction of verandahs often reflect Australia’s unique climate conditions and outdoor lifestyle.

The terms “alfresco” and “patio” both refer to outdoor living spaces, but they are used slightly differently and can convey different design implications.

An alfresco area, a term commonly used in Australia, is typically a part of the house that is designed to blend the indoor and outdoor living spaces seamlessly. Alfresco areas are often directly accessible from inside the house, usually through sliding or bi-fold doors. They are roofed for weather protection and can include features like built-in kitchens or fireplaces, making them suitable for year-round use.

On the other hand, a patio is a designated outdoor space that might be attached to the house but could also be situated separately within the garden. Patios might be covered or uncovered and generally have less of an emphasis on blending indoor and outdoor environments. They can be designed for various functions, such as dining, entertaining, or relaxing.

Overall, while both alfresco areas and patios aim to extend your living space and make the most of your outdoor environment, an alfresco area is more integrated with the home’s main structure and often has more sophisticated features.
