Bioclimatic pergolas

An aluminium bioclimatic pergola is a modern solution for anyone who wants a garden feature that expands the ways the garden can be used, whatever the weather. The adjustable louvres can be set as needed according to the weather or the desired light conditions.
This flexibility is why bioclimatic pergolas have become popular with owners of family homes as well as operators of restaurants, cafés and hotels. A terrace with this type of pergola can be used practically all year round, not just for a few warm months.

Thanks to the aluminium structure there is also no need for the regular painting or treatment that owners of wooden gazebos and similar shelters know only too well. Practicality is further enhanced by accessories such as integrated LED lighting, which extends the use of such a structure even further.
If you are also planning a hard surface under the pergola, it is worth thinking ahead about the foundations and paving, for example from our concrete products, which create a firm, level base under the whole structure.

Frequently asked questions

Unlike conventional versions, a bioclimatic pergola has a roof made of rotating louvres that can be tilted to various angles. This allows much more precise control of the amount of light, airflow and protection from rain.

Yes, bioclimatic pergolas can be used in winter too. Neither the change of seasons nor the weather affects their functionality, and they can be used all year round. With the louvres closed, the roof acts as a watertight surface that drains water through the gutter system.

As a rule, you do not need a building permit to build a bioclimatic pergola. Usually it is enough to notify your local building authority. There are, however, cases where a permit is required, such as exceeding a built-up area of 50 m2, building higher than 5 m, specific zoning rules that do not allow such a structure, or running a business in the space under the pergola. When building close to the property boundary, obtain the consent of the neighbouring owner to avoid complications.

Yes, aluminium bioclimatic pergolas withstand wind as well as snow loads.

What is a bioclimatic pergola?
A bioclimatic pergola is a terrace or garden roof whose main feature is a roof of movable louvres. These can be tilted to regulate the amount of light, heat and airflow under the structure.
It is precisely this ability to adapt to the current weather that gave this type of pergola its name. With the pergola you can respond to current conditions as if it had its own bioclimatic system.
Closed louvres work as a waterproof roof with rainwater drainage, so the space under the pergola stays dry even when it rains.
Advantages of an aluminium bioclimatic pergola
An aluminium bioclimatic pergola brings several advantages to your house or garden. Some stem from the nature of the material, others from its characteristic features:

Flexible shading: The adjustable louvres let you respond to changing weather throughout the day. You do not have to move from the garden indoors with every change in the weather. In summer you open them slightly for a pleasant airflow; in rain you simply close them.
Maintenance-free: Unlike wood, aluminium does not rot or crack and requires no regular painting. The gutter system does, however, need occasional attention – it is advisable to clear it of leaves, especially in autumn.
High snow resistance: Bioclimatic aluminium pergolas also cope with locations with variable and more demanding weather.
Year-round use: Combined with lighting, or with a heater for extra comfort, the space under the pergola can be used practically all year round, not only in summer.

Where are bioclimatic pergolas used?
Bioclimatic pergolas are used in both private and commercial settings:

New functional space for family houses: An extension of the living space outdoors, suitable for sitting with family and friends or working from home on warm days.
Stand-alone garden shelter: A space away from the facade of the house, for example by the pool or over a seating area in a corner of the garden. An ideal place for a barbecue or smoker.
Summer terraces for restaurants and cafés: Outdoor roofing for restaurants and hotels creates additional seating and a smoking area for guests in any weather.
Exhibition spaces: Ideal for outdoor art exhibitions, where the works can be protected from rain or direct sun.
Company premises: Protection for guests or employees without having to move indoors at company premises.

Covered parking: Carports with adjustable louvres are a fully fledged replacement for a brick garage or a shipping container garage, or a great way to extend existing parking spaces.
