What is a permanent 4-season roof?
A permanent 4-season roof is a fixed roof designed to stay in place all year round. It protects your outdoor space from rain and snow, and is a solid alternative to temporary shelters or retractable awnings.

Advantages of a permanent roof
A permanent roof doesn't just protect you from the elements:
It also protects your patio floor, keeping it drier, better protected from moisture and mildew - which can extend its lifespan.
It allows you to extend your activities even in the rain (dining, relaxation, spa).

Roofing options : polycarbonate or shingles
Polycarbonate roof: bright, durable, practical
Polycarbonate panels protect against UV rays and maintain a bright, warm atmosphere. It's also a practical alternative to glass: lighter, and light diffusion can reduce heat and direct sun glare.
Asphalt shingle roof: shady, homestyle“
For cathedral ceiling enthusiasts, we often recommend asphalt shingles: they protect against summer heat by creating a shaded space, and require little maintenance (with annual inspection, ideally in late winter).
For which projects is a permanent roof ideal?
Patio and terrace covers
Create an outdoor dining area that can be used rain or shine. Protect your garden furniture and BBQ from rust.
Spa enclosure
Enjoy your spa in winter without the snow falling on your head, and protect your spa cover to extend its life.
Entrances and balconies
In winter, keep your driveway clear of ice and snow for added safety. In summer, protect your patio from the sun.
