Creating Backyard Edens with Alumicenter and Equinox Louvered Roof Systems
By JordanRocco // October 17, 2021
Outdoor living has come a long way since the 1950’s. According to the Smithsonian Institution Travelling Exhibition Service the American backyard was a product of postwar trends such as the baby boom, growing middle class, a growing DIY culture, as well as a dramatic rise in home ownership.
To date, research indicates that the global market of outdoor living structures is expected to reach $2.9 billion by 2028.
The mid-century backyard became an extension of the home. A “room” meant for relaxing, entertaining, cooking and recreation. Private backyard pools were commonplace and the patio became an inviting space for a backyard grill. Seventy years later the concept of backyard living has modernized considerably, transforming the American backyard into private Edens.
Sophisticated Outdoor Living Solutions
As outdoor living continues to rise in popularity the harsh Florida weather conditions can make it difficult for homeowners to utilize their available outdoor space to its full potential. The solution? A roof system that has been site-specific engineered to withstand tropical weather conditions in South Florida.
“As a dealer of the Equinox Louvered Roof System in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County, we want to introduce you to a whole new dimension in outdoor living. This Smart Patio Cover can control the level of light and comfort you desire at any time.” Juan Cohen, founder of Alumicenter, said.
He continues: “Equinox is truly an exciting product and one that has been needed in the South Florida area for years. Once installed it costs virtually nothing to operate because of the built-in solar power unit. It is so easy to use that it is appropriate for older citizens as well as those with physical disabilities. The roof is rain-sensored.”
The roof system serves as an ideal covering for pools, decks, spas, swimming pools, outdoor kitchen, BBQ areas, gazebos, courtyards, entryways and anywhere else the homeowner desires sun, weather and light control. Furthermore the Equinox Louvered Roof system will not compete with building designs.
Homeowners with gable or pitched roofs, bay windows or doors, or angled roofs and walls can rest assured that the system will look like a piece of the original design.
“Screens can be added as desired, while customizable wrap-around, brick, and steel columns provide strength, sustainability and class that blends with the most fashionable architectural designs,” Cohen said. Virtually any material and finish can be applied to the Equinox Louvered Roof frame to seamlessly complement and enhance the existing architectural style.
Homeowners have the option of adding fans and lighting systems to their Equinox Louvred roof if they desire. These additions would be wired into the roof system. Radiant heat and misting systems can be integrated as well for use on warm days and cool nights.
Roof Control Goes Mobile!
These modern roof systems introduced by Alumicenter Inc. are considered to be next-generation patio covers that can be operated effortlessly with the help of a remote control. This sophisticated product is the result of a combination of precision engineering, aesthetic appeal and quality materials.
“In the last few months we have been tirelessly working to improve our product and service. We believe that the louvered roof controller will help you enjoy your experience with the louver pergola even more.
The Equinox Louver Controller app for Android and Apple is an easy to use app that will allow you to connect and be in control of your roof in seconds,” Cohen announced.
Opening and closing a single or all panels have been made even easier with a “latching mode” feature. This new mobile functionality is sure to appeal to digital savvy homeowners.
