Elitewood Classic, Alumawood & Weatherwood, when held side by side, look the exact same; however, Elitewood Classic has 25% thicker gauge aluminum beams and has a primer coat of paint. So, don’t be fooled! All 3 aluminum patio cover products feature a light cedar wood texture & Teflon paint coating. Although the Teflon coating does provide added shininess to the finish, there’s no comparison to the Kynar 500 paint finish on the Elitewood Ultra product.
So, if you’re trying to decide between Elitewood Classic vs. Alumawood or Weatherwood, go with the Elitewood Classic. It has a better warranty and is installed by more qualified contractors.
Another good reason for selecting the Four Seasons product is that Elitewood Ultra & Elitewood Classic can only be purchased by licensed & insured contractors with long standing reputable businesses; Four Seasons Building Products is all about quality and doesn’t sell its materials to just anybody and therefore, startup companies, and unlicensed individuals will typically use the Alumawood or Weatherwood products since a contractor’s license or insurance is not required to purchase materials from those two manufacturers.
