Exciting transformations are underway in the outdoor living industry, bringing great news for homeowners, contractors, and dealers alike. If you’ve been considering installing a patio cover or a louvered system, now is the perfect time. Significant improvements in manufacturing, product quality, and reliability are set to reshape the market, offering better solutions for outdoor spaces.
At Factory Direct Patio Covers Inc., we are committed to keeping you informed about these important changes. Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming developments and how they will benefit you.
Equinox Moves Manufacturing to the USA
Starting in February, Equinox will move the production of its aluminum beams from Turkey to the United States. This change will bring several important benefits:
- Faster Delivery Times: With manufacturing happening domestically, customers will no longer have to wait for long overseas shipping times. Orders will be processed more efficiently, leading to reduced wait times and faster installation schedules.
- Improved Quality Control: Bringing production closer to home allows for better oversight at every stage. Strict quality control measures will ensure that each product meets the highest standards before it reaches the customer.
- Greater Supply Chain Stability: Manufacturing in the U.S. reduces reliance on international suppliers, making the supply chain more resilient against global disruptions, tariffs, and logistical delays.
By shifting production to the U.S., Equinox is reinforcing its commitment to delivering superior outdoor products with enhanced reliability and efficiency.
Enhanced Product Quality and Reliability
Reliability is a top priority for homeowners and contractors when investing in outdoor structures. With Equinox’s manufacturing move to U.S. manufacturing, customers can expect 100% delivery reliability. This ensures that orders are fulfilled on time and that projects remain on schedule.
But beyond delivery, the Equinox Louvered System is also raising the bar for product durability and design. By improving quality control and using top-grade materials, the system is now positioned as a premium option for those seeking long-lasting, stylish, and highly functional patio solutions.
Homeowners will enjoy a stronger, more resilient louvered system that can withstand varying weather conditions while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of their outdoor spaces. Contractors, on the other hand, can feel more confident offering Equinox products, knowing that their clients will receive a high-quality product with dependable performance.
Inclusion of Alumawood with Equinox Louvered System
For years, Alumawood products have been proudly manufactured in the United States, offering homeowners and contractors durable, maintenance-free solutions for patio covers. Now, Alumawood is being included in the Equinox Louvered System, making these two trusted brands even more powerful together.
This inclusion comes after Four Seasons Outdoor Products’ acquisition of Omnimax. The acquisition of these means more innovation, more reliability, and even better outdoor structures for customers.
With this move, the Equinox Louvered System becomes an even stronger and more innovative solution for those looking to elevate their outdoor spaces. Homeowners and contractors alike will benefit from the expertise of two well-established brands coming together to create superior products.
Why This Matters for Homeowners and Contractors
These changes mark a significant step forward for the outdoor industry, and the benefits will be felt by homeowners and contractors across the country. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your backyard or searching for the best products to offer your clients, these advancements bring several advantages:
- Faster, more reliable product availability thanks to domestic manufacturing
- Superior quality and durability with improved materials and oversight
- A stronger and more advanced louvered system with Alumawood’s trusted technology
