An aluminium pergola with an adjustable roof shading an outdoor dining terrace

Outdoor & Privacy

Bioclimatic pergolas

Shade you can tune. A bioclimatic pergola has a roof of rotating aluminium blades, open them for breeze and light, close them for shade or a shower, all at the turn of a switch.

Is this for you?

  • You want to control sun and airflow through the day, not just have fixed shade.
  • You want a premium outdoor room for a villa terrace, rooftop or restaurant.
  • You want optional automation, remote, app or sensors.

Options & configurations

Rotating louvered roof

Aluminium blades that pivot from open to closed to manage sun and air.

Motorised control

Remote or wall-switch operation; app and smart-home control where specified.

Sensors

Optional rain and wind sensors that can close or protect the roof.

Add-ons

Integrated LED, side screens, sliding glass walls and heating.

How the louvered roof works

The roof is made of aluminium blades that rotate together. Open, they let breeze and daylight through; angled, they cut direct sun while keeping airflow; closed, they form a solid roof that sheds a shower to the integrated gutters and posts. That range is what makes an outdoor space usable across more of the day and year.

Automation and honest limits

Motorised control, app operation and rain or wind sensors are available and genuinely useful. We describe what each option actually does and set it up properly; we do not overstate weather performance, a louvered roof manages sun and light rain well, but is not a sealed building, and heavy weather has limits we will be straight about.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

A closed louvered roof sheds light rain to integrated gutters and posts and shelters the space well, but it is an outdoor structure, not a sealed room. We are clear about what it will and will not do in heavy weather.

Motorised roofs can be operated by remote or wall switch, with app and smart-home control available where specified. We set up the option you choose and show you how it works.

They can automatically close the louvers in rain or protect the roof in high wind. They are an optional safeguard, and we explain their thresholds honestly.

Possibly, depending on size, location and attachment. We raise this early; see our pergola-permit note for the general picture and note the municipality decides.
