Knotwood

The warmth of timber. None of the upkeep.

Knotwood is aluminum with a real wood-grain finish, in oak, cedar, walnut and ash tones. A pergola that looks like wood and never needs staining, however close to the water you live.

Wood grain in the coating, not on it.

Knotwood's finish is sublimated into the powder coat, so the grain has depth and texture rather than sitting on the surface as a print. From a few feet away it reads as timber; up close it still does.

The profiles are aluminum, so a Knotwood pergola does not split, twist, rust or attract termites, and the finish is warrantied by the manufacturer against fading. It suits the Newport and Irvine homes where a plain aluminum cover would look too light and a real wood one would need restaining every other spring.

Questions about Knotwood.

No. It is aluminum with a wood-grain finish applied by sublimation, so the grain is in the coating rather than printed on it. It looks and feels like timber and never needs sealing, which a mile from the ocean is the whole point.

Oaks, cedars, walnut and ash tones, plus solid powder-coat colors. We bring samples to the estimate.

The finish is a powder coat, warrantied by the manufacturer against fading and chalking. It does not need paint or stain, and it is what we recommend where a wood pergola would be a maintenance contract.

Yes. Irvine, Yorba Linda, the newer tracts in Buena Park and most of the planned communities south of the 405 have an architectural committee, and each one wants roughly the same packet: a site plan, the color, and the manufacturer's spec sheet. We prepare it, submit it, and answer the committee's questions. It is the one part of the schedule we do not control, so we start it first.
