An open-slat Laguna Lattice aluminum patio cover over a Southern California backyard

Patio Systems · Lattice

Laguna Lattice.

Open aluminum slats that break the sun into soft, moving shade — and keep the air flowing underneath. The look of an open-beam pergola, engineered in low-maintenance Alumawood.

Best for

When you want shade that still feels open.

Lattice is a design choice as much as a shade choice. It defines an outdoor room and cuts the harshest sun without closing the sky off completely.

What it is

Open aluminum slats on an engineered beam.

Choose the slat profile that sets how much sun comes through and how the underside reads.

Aluma-Shield® finish

A baked-on paint finish with a Teflon® surface protector — it holds its color against Southern California sun and shrugs off the elements.

Internal modular beam

The structural beam runs hidden inside the frame, with a concealed channel for wiring fans and lighting — no exposed conduit across the cover.

How it behaves

Filtered light, not a sealed roof.

40–60%

Less direct sun

The slats cut a large share of direct sun while still letting daylight through — shade you can sit under without it feeling dark.

Airflow

Heat keeps moving

Open gaps let hot air rise straight out instead of pooling under a solid roof, so the space stays cooler and breezier.

Open

Light & rain pass through

Because it’s open by design, sun and rain both come through the gaps. Lattice is for shade and shape — not weather protection.

Sun-reduction range attributed to the manufacturer.

Colors

Seven finishes, factory-baked.

Every Laguna Lattice cover is available in the full palette. The finish is baked on at the factory — not painted on site — so the color stays consistent across the whole cover.
