Building a Patio – What’s in it for you?

They say a man’s home is his castle. A place to spend quality time with family and share many happy memories. If you’ve been looking to create additional functional space in your home, while also adding further value to your property, look no further than building a patio right in your very own backyard.

Here at Patioland we’re experts at all things patio related. We’re committed to ensuring our customers have access to quality award winning patio solutions to suit their particular needs.

We’ve composed this blog to go through the multitude of benefits of building a patio, and help our customers create an ideal outdoor environment for entertaining, relaxing, dining and everything else in between.

Extend Your Living Space Outdoors

Whichever way you look at it, a patio provides you with extra living space to be enjoyed by the whole family. It acts as an extension to whichever room you build it out from, providing you with increased functional space right into your backyard.

Additionally, an enclosed patio provides protection no matter the weather outside. On rainy days or in the cold you can enclose your patio for warmth, and during hot weather you can leave it open and let your home extend out naturally and air out.

This is an important consideration to take into account, as a patio will help protect you and your loved ones from any harmful UV rays that can be present in the tough Australian climate.

Outdoor Entertaining

Having an outdoor space where people can gather and spend time together is a huge benefit of adding a patio to your home. It provides a central focus point where a variety of activities can occur and celebrations can go long into the night.

With the right furniture and decor, and with some additional upgrades such as an outdoor kitchen, a welcoming practical environment can be created where you can host cookouts, celebrations and quality family time.

An Excellent Place to Relax

After a busy day at work, or during a well deserved weekend, a patio is an excellent place where you can have a seat and relax while enjoying the fresh air. The convenience of having a tranquil space at your doorstep cannot be underestimated.

By adding a few furnishings such as a lounge chair or hammock, you can personalise an area further, then just sit back, relax, and enjoy reading a good book or simply sip your favourite cup of coffee.

Maintain The Temperature of Your Home

A patio is an effective way to maintain the temperature of your home. It offers excellent shading to your windows and walls which will help to keep the inside of your house cooler.  You can further enhance temperature stability through the installation of insulated roof panels on your patio, which are a great way to reduce heat gain and loss, making it easier for your air conditioning system to keep the temperature inside at a comfortable level.

Insulated roof panels are also known for their design flexibility. They’re available in a range of colours, finishes and sizes, so you can find panels that complement the design theme of your home. Further details on this great roofing solution can be found right here.

Low Maintenance

As far as cleaning and maintenance goes, patios are relatively easy to keep clean, much like maintaining a well-done floor sanding job. Most of the upkeep will consist of visual inspections and light cleaning that is fairly easy to undertake.

The reason for this is the sturdy and long-lasting building materials patios are made from. Additionally when you engage the services of a reputable patio builder, you can have the peace of mind that any materials used are the best available and have been made to withstand the tough Australian climate.

Here at Patioland we use the award winning Shademaster patio system. This product is made from durable materials and features a slimline design. Every roof steel and aluminium panel is crafted in Australia, where comprehensive care has been taken to create durable gloss finishes designed to withstand the harsh Australian climate.

Increase The Value Of Your Home

Finally patios are one of the best investments you can make to increase your home’s value. They not only make your home more visually appealing but also create a functional outdoor space that can be used for a variety of purposes. 

These are features that buyers look for in a home and are prepared to pay extra for them. So whether you’re looking to sell now or in the long term, a patio provides a valuable point of difference to other homes without this appealing addition.

Building a patio for your home creates a multitude of benefits. It creates a multi-purpose functional space where you’re free to entertain your guests until your heart’s content, or escape to an area of relaxation and tranquillity. Patios are also an effective mechanism to maintain the temperature of your home, have very low maintenance requirements, and actually increase the overall value of your property.
