The traditional construction method
First, the standards for patio construction and anchoring to the residence are multiple and sometimes complicated to understand. They are different depending on the house coverings. It is relatively long and complex to build a patio that meets all standards. In addition, it is important to prevent the risk of water infiltration so as not to cause damage to the house. To do this, you must properly include flashing. It is also necessary to provide a slope for the drainage of rainwater as well as a sufficient structure to support the weight of the patio and the snow. We must therefore take into consideration several factors which will have an impact on our way of constructing the framework of the patio.

Nami fixings, a simple way to secure your patio
Nami brackets represent a quick and safe alternative to attaching the patio to your home without the hassle. They have several advantages that allow them to stand out and be very appreciated by conscientious builders. At Pur Patio, we have been using this fixing method proudly designed in Quebec for years for the construction of our patios . The supports are suitable for both complete constructions and terrace expansions . They prevent damage to the covering of the house and at the same time eliminate the risk of water infiltration . The space they create between the house and the patio allows them to be completely independent of each other and allow water to drain naturally.
