Frequently Asked Questions
Will my BrightCovers® system rust?
No. Only heavy-grade structural aluminum is used on a BrightCovers system, along with stainless steel fasteners to prevent any rust, corrosion or otherwise.
How do I clean my BrightCovers® system?
The BrightCovers® system is virtually maintenance-free. A heavy rain will naturally clean the top of the roof panels and system. If debris or markings remain after a heavy rain, the entire system can be cleaned with dish soap, lukewarm water, and a non-abrasive cloth rag. Windex or other chemical based solutions are not recommended as they may damage the panels over time. The aluminum components can be similarly cleaned with dish soap and water; a melamine sponge (household name: “Mr. Clean Magic Eraser”) can be used on any aluminum surface to remove dirt, grime, or otherwise should dish soap and water not suffice.
How much wind can my BrightCovers® system withstand?
The BrightCovers® system is engineered to exceed minimum building code requirements for wind loads based on your location.
How much snow load can my BrightCovers® system withstand?
The BrightCovers system is engineered to exceed minimum building code requirements for snow loads based on your location as per both 2012 and 2015 International Building Code requirements (60+ pounds per square foot live load).
Can I grill under my BrightCovers® system?
Absolutely! The panels can withstand temperatures over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit of direct heat. Should any dirt or soot accumulate, the panels can be cleaned according to our cleaning recommendations.
How can I attach lights / curtains to my BrightCovers®?
We recommend purchasing clips or clampable hooks that can attach to the support beams. We do not recommend drilling into the BrightCovers system, as it may void your warranty.
I have a unique outdoor space; can you still install?
Our team is experienced and well-versed in custom configurations to match existing conditions or requirements. There are a few things we cannot do however, per our engineering.
What are my color options?
Please review our standard aluminum frame and roof panel color options here: Design Options
Can I have a custom color?
Yes, custom powder coating is available.
Can you build a BrightCovers® system over my existing structure?
Typically, no due to structural integrity and engineering requirements.
Can you send out a kit and I can install myself?
We do not offer Do-It-Yourself kits; all products must be installed by Factory-Certified BrightCovers team members to ensure proper application.
Will heaters or firepits damage my BrightCovers®?
Heaters and Firepits should not damage your BrightCovers® system; we recommend at least 3-4 feet of clearance between the cover and any heat source. If fire or heat does damage your cover it may not be covered under warranty.
