- Why Oklahoma Homeowners Choose Patio Cover
Oklahoma Patios Need Overhead Protection That Actually Works
Sunspace by Express Sunrooms of Oklahoma installs custom aluminum patio covers for Oklahoma homeowners who want to extend their outdoor season without committing to a full enclosure.
A patio cover does not have to mean a dark, claustrophobic roof over an otherwise open space. The right cover for an OKC patio keeps you in shade and out of the rain while preserving the open-air, natural-light feeling that makes a backyard worth spending time in.
Three systems let you choose exactly how much light comes through and how much heat stays out. Our factory-trained team installs every cover to your exact patio dimensions, handles permits and materials upfront, and does not collect a dollar until you are satisfied with the result.
Years Serving OKC
- Oklahoma Climate Challenges
Why Oklahoma Patios Need a Proper Cover
Four distinct seasonal problems. One Patio Cover installation solves all of them.
Relentless Summer Heat
An insulated patio cover reduces solar heat, keeping the space cooler during Oklahoma's hot summers.
UV Damage to Furniture and Skin
Acrylic panels in high UV-index Oklahoma filter 100% of UV rays, protecting your family and property while keeping the outdoor light.
Spring Hail and Thunderstorms
Both acrylic and insulated panels offer tested hail protection, with acrylic featuring non-shattering safety glazing.
Wasted Shoulder Season Hours
Enjoy Oklahoma's best outdoor weather in October and November with a covered patio, keeping you outside through rain and cool temperatures.
- Patio Cover Models
Solid Insulated Patio Cover
Oklahoma patios facing direct south or west sun, where maximum shade and heat reduction are the priority over natural light.
The Solid Insulated Patio Cover is our top overhead shade system. High-density foam panels with aluminum skins provide full shade and significant thermal resistance, reducing heat build-up under an exposed OKC patio roof in July. Each system features a one-piece extruded aluminum gutter (up to 22 inches wide) with matching fascia, ensuring clean drainage without pooling or panel drips.
Features and Benefits
Three insulation options
Panel R-values are R-12 (3"), R-16 (4"), and R-24 (6"), specified based on patio projection, OKC climate, and required thermal performance.
High-density foam core
Durable, dimensionally stable panels have laminated aluminum skins on both sides. An OSB exterior option is offered for properties needing standard shingle compatibility.
Panels up to 24 feet wide
Full 48-inch panels cover large OKC patios and side-yard carports without compromising joints.
Supports fans, lights, and plants
The structural panel is strong enough to carry ceiling fans, lighting fixtures, and hanging plants without additional reinforcement.
Mono-slope or gabled roof profile
Matched to your home's existing roofline and the architecture of your OKC property.
Skylights install with ease
A skylight can be added to any solid panel for natural light without sacrificing the insulated system's performance.
One-piece aluminum gutter, up to 22 inches
With matching fascia. Internal water trough system channels moisture away from the patio surface.
Proven hail protection
Solid panel construction handles Oklahoma hail events without cracking or shattering.
30-year warranty on panel finish
Backed by the Sunspace manufacturer's warranty.

Acrylic Patio Cover
Oklahoma patios facing north or east, shaded patios, or any backyard where natural light and an open-sky feeling
are priorities alongside weather protection.
The Acrylic Patio Cover keeps you dry and protected while flooding the space underneath with diffused, filtered natural light.
100 percent UV-stable acrylic panels filter all UV rays and soften harsh glare without blocking the sky. Sunspace guarantees 90 percent light transmission and clarity for 30 years.
Four tint options let Oklahoma homeowners dial in exactly how much heat to block while keeping the light they want. Clear lets 85 percent of light through. Heatstop blocks 75 percent of heat while still letting 50 percent of light through.
Features and Benefits
90% light transmission for 30 years, guaranteed
Sunspace backs this with a written warranty. Acrylic does not yellow or cloud over time, the way polycarbonate alternatives do.
100% UV filtering on all tints
Every tint option filters all UV rays. No tint combination transmits UV, regardless of how much visible light passes through.
Non-shattering safety glazing
Acrylic panels absorb impact without shattering. Oklahoma hail events leave the cover intact rather than broken.
Patented condensate control
The panel system manages moisture condensation internally, preventing dripping onto the patio surface below.
Heaviest and most rigid acrylic panels available
Structural rigidity that outlasts thinner polycarbonate panels used by competing manufacturers.
Supports fans, lights, and plants
Frame structure strong enough for overhead fixtures without additional reinforcement.
Integrated extruded aluminum gutter system
Channels rainwater away from the patio perimeter. Included as standard, not an add-on.
Engineered for heavy snow loads
Handles Oklahoma winter ice and snow load conditions.

Hybrid Patio Cover
Larger Oklahoma patios with mixed sun exposure, or any backyard where some sections need full shade, and other sections
benefit from natural light coming through.
The Hybrid Patio Cover uses both solid insulated panels and light-transmitting acrylic panels, allowing you to customize each section. For example, solid insulated panels (4-inch R-16 or 6-inch R-24) can block afternoon sun over a dining area, while acrylic panels (four tints available) can cover a naturally shaded seating area. All configurations use the same extruded aluminum frame.
Features and Benefits
Endless configuration options
Any combination of solid and acrylic panels within a single cover structure. Completely customizable to your specific patio layout and OKC sun exposure.
4" R-16 and 6" R-24 insulated sections
Same high-density foam core construction as the standalone solid insulated system. Full thermal performance where you need shade.
All four acrylic tints available
Clear, Bronze, Solar Cool, and Heatstop on the light-transmitting sections. Matched to the sun angle and time of day, each section receives.
Panels up to 24 feet wide
Full 48-inch panel width on insulated sections. Handles large OKC backyard patios without mid-span structural interruptions.
Mono-slope or gabled roof profile
Consistent roofline, whether the cover uses one panel type or both.

Which Patio Cover Is Right for Your Oklahoma Backyard?

- FAQ
Patio Cover FAQs: Oklahoma Homeowners Ask
Honest answers to every question Oklahoma homeowners ask before, during, and after their patio cover project.
What is an insulated patio cover, and how does it differ from an acrylic one?
A solid insulated patio cover uses high-density foam core panels with aluminum skins to block all light and provide meaningful thermal resistance overhead.
An acrylic patio cover uses UV-stable acrylic panels that let filtered natural light through while blocking all UV rays and a portion of solar heat, depending on the tint. The right choice depends on whether you want shade and temperature control or natural light and weather protection overhead.
How much cooler is the space under an insulated patio cover?
The reduction varies with panel R-value, patio size, and surrounding conditions. The 6-inch R-24 panel provides the highest thermal resistance in the lineup, and on a west-facing OKC patio in July, the difference between an insulated cover and an open patio is substantial.
We assess your specific patio projection and orientation at the free consultation and specify the right thickness for your conditions, rather than defaulting to the thickest option regardless of need.
Can a patio cover be added to an existing deck?
Deck installations frequently include a patio cover as part of the same project scope. A cover can also be added to an existing deck or concrete patio surface independently, with posts anchored to the existing surface.
We assess the existing deck or patio structure at the free consultation to confirm anchor point integrity and any load considerations before specifying the cover system.
Can I enclose the sides of a covered patio later?
A screen room or porch enclosure can be installed on the sides of an existing covered patio to create a fully protected outdoor room. This is one of the most common upgrade paths for OKC homeowners who install a patio cover first and decide later that insect and weather protection on the sides would make the space even more useful.
What is the difference between an aluminum patio cover and a wood pergola?
An aluminum patio cover uses structural aluminum panels and extruded aluminum framing that never rots, warps, requires repainting, or needs annual treatment.
A louvered pergola is a different product: an adjustable overhead roof system with motorized louvers that open and close on demand, giving you full sun or full shade with the press of a button. The two systems serve different goals, and the right choice depends on whether you want permanent overhead protection or adjustable sunlight control.
Does a patio cover require a building permit in Oklahoma?
Most attached patio cover installations in Oklahoma require a building permit. We handle the permitting process as part of our standard project scope and pay for permits upfront.
You do not need to manage the permit process yourself. We confirm the requirements for your specific property and address them before manufacturing begins.
Can a patio cover be installed over a pool or spa area?
Yes. Both solid insulated and acrylic covers can be installed over pool decks and spa areas. We specify the right system and structural approach for poolside conditions at the free consultation.
What if I want shade overhead but also want to enjoy the sun sometimes?
The motorized screen installation or retractable awning may be a better fit if the ability to open the overhead cover fully is the priority. Both allow on-demand open or covered states without a fixed roof panel.
The hybrid patio cover is the right choice if you want some sections permanently covered and other sections permanently open to natural light, rather than a fully retractable system.
How do I get started with a patio cover installation in Oklahoma?
Call (405) 232-1222 or request a quote online, and we will schedule a free, no-pressure consultation at your Oklahoma home.
We will assess your patio orientation, recommend the right cover system and tint, and give you a guaranteed estimate with no surprises.
