Conventional Patios

Built for Australian weather

At Altec, we design and build conventional patios with Queensland’s unique weather conditions in mind. Extreme heat and frequent storms can damage inferior products or make them less effective, which is why our design consultants and patio builders recommend only the most appropriate materials and structures for your home. This means you can enjoy a patio that:

• Deflects heat
• Resists wind
• Is insulated

In sunny Southeast Queensland, from the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, heat deflection should be one of your top priorities when building a patio. If the patio structure deflects heat poorly, you may end up with an outdoor space that’s actually hotter than the rest of your backyard! And this is certainly not what you’re trying to achieve by building a patio.

Staying strong during storms

In stormy weather, a patio’s cover is its most important asset. Your cover should have aerodynamics similar to those of a plane’s wing, and you should choose a brand that won’t flex in high winds.

Another issue to be wary of when choosing a cover for your patio is over-spanning, as this can cause the roof to sag and affect its waterproofness and integrity.
