Maxx Panel.

A solid roof with a foam core built in — it does everything a solid cover does, and then blocks the radiant heat a plain panel lets through. The coolest, quietest space of the three.

Best for

When you want the space underneath to actually stay cool.

Maxx Panel is the insulated system. A foam core between two aluminum skins stops the radiant heat that transfers straight through a single-layer solid roof — so the patio underneath stays noticeably cooler.

What it is

A foam core between two aluminum skins.

3″ EPS foam core

Three inches of rigid EPS foam sit between the top and bottom aluminum skins — that sandwich is what stops radiant heat and deadens sound.

R-13.95 insulation value

The panel carries a measured insulation rating — the real difference you feel standing under it on a hot afternoon.

R-13.95

Tongue-and-groove panels

The panels lock together with tongue-and-groove connections into a clean, continuous, watertight roof.

How it behaves

Full protection, plus a cooler patio.

R-13.95

Blocks radiant heat

The foam core stops the heat a single-layer solid roof radiates straight down — the space underneath stays cooler.

100%

Sun, rain & snow

It’s a fully sealed roof first — complete protection from the elements, with the insulation on top of that.

Quieter

Softer under rain

The core dampens sound, so rain and the everyday ping of a metal roof are noticeably muted underneath.

Colors

Two finishes — and here’s why.

The insulated panel comes in White and Desert Sand only. That’s a manufacturing limit on how the insulated panel is produced — not a stocking choice on our end. The lattice and solid systems carry the full seven-color palette; the insulated panel is the one exception.

Let’s look at your space

How far do you want it to reach?

Because the insulated panel is heavier, how far it can project depends on panel thickness, gauge, and the wind and snow load at your exact address — a permit-and-engineering answer, not a number off a webpage. That’s what the visit is for. We’ll measure and give you an honest quote the same day.
