Insulated Roof Pergolas
The Signature Pergolas and Decks insulated roof pergola adds a touch of class to your outdoor area, while protecting your entertaining space and home from the elements.
At Signature pergolas and Decks, we use high-end Stratco Cooldek insulated roof panels (see panel details below) that utilise a polystyrene insulated core with a low-maintenance powder coated metal top and bottom (also known as a “sandwich’ panel) to create the feel of alfresco living at a fraction of the cost.
The polystyrene core acts as a thermal-resistant insulation that provides a cooler space in summer and a warmer space in winter. This also results in less heat entering your home which can help you save money on those pesky electricity bills! We have installed insulated pergolas throughout the Illawarra, Wollongong and Sutherland Shire areas.
