Stop letting the weather decide when you can use your outdoor space.
Stop letting the weather decide when you can use your outdoor space.
summer conditions are worth making the most of. Long evenings, warm afternoons, the kind of weather that turns a deck into the best room in the house from May through September. The problem is that London’s weather doesn’t always cooperate. A humid July afternoon can build into a thunderstorm by evening. Spring is wet and cold later than it should be. Fall arrives in a hurry.
A Craft-Bilt patio cover keeps your London deck usable through all of it. The PanelCraft insulated panel system gives you a solid, weatherproof roof that holds warmth in the shoulder seasons and sheds rain during London’s summer storms. The Northlander Skyview translucent system lets in filtered natural light while blocking UV and heat — the right choice for homeowners who want the feel of an open patio without being exposed to the worst of the afternoon sun. Both are maintenance-free aluminum, custom-fitted to your deck’s exact dimensions, and built for London’s freeze-thaw cycle.
From Westmount to Byron, from Old South to Lambeth, Craft-Bilt patio covers are on London decks that get used well past Labour Day.
A premium aluminum roof system using insulated panels. The insulation matters in London’s shoulder seasons — it keeps the covered space warm on the cool evenings in May and September when unprotected decks are too cold to use. The solid panel also sheds London’s spring and summer rain cleanly. Maintenance-free, finished with a tough, baked-on coating that won’t peel or flake, and custom-fitted to your existing deck structure. Currently 20% off.
For homeowners who want natural light without direct sun. The Northlander Skyview translucent panel system fills your patio with diffused light while filtering the UV that fades deck furniture and makes south-facing decks uncomfortable through July and August. A covered patio that feels open rather than sheltered. Custom-fitted, maintenance-free, 20% off with current promotion.
Southwestern Ontario’s climate tests outdoor products in a specific way — not through London-level cold, but through the combination of summer humidity, the freeze-thaw cycling that winter conditions deliver reliably, and the spring wet that saturates any porous building material. Aluminum construction handles all of it without absorbing moisture, warping, or requiring annual maintenance.
homeowners who’ve replaced wood outdoor products once don’t want to do it again. That’s exactly the buyer we build for.

Q1. What type of patio cover works best for the local climate?
London gets warm, humid summers with significant storm fronts, plus real winters with snow and ice. Our aluminum patio covers handle all of it without sagging, rotting, or needing maintenance. If you want natural light with UV and heat protection, our translucent Skyview panels are popular with local homeowners who have south or west-facing patios. If you want full weather coverage, the solid insulated panel cover is the right call.
Q2. Will a patio cover add value to my London home?
A well-built patio cover extends your usable outdoor living space significantly, and London buyers notice. It protects your deck from southwestern Ontario’s weather, reduces wear on outdoor furniture, and gives you a comfortable space from April right through November. We cannot promise a specific number on resale value, but local homeowners who invest in quality outdoor living rarely regret it.
Q3. How long does patio cover installation take ?
Most patio cover installations in London are completed in one to two days, not counting any site preparation or deck work needed beforehand. Spring and summer are the busiest seasons for London contractors, so reaching out in late winter gets you on the schedule before the rush.
