Pergolas

Bioclimatic pergolas with adjustable louvres

A bioclimatic pergola is not a fixed roof: the louvres rotate, and that changes how the space underneath is used. Closed they act as a roof and keep the rain out; angled they let air and filtered light through; open they leave the sky clear. The 6 items in the range comprise two pergolas, at 300 × 300 cm and 400 × 300 cm, and the ZIP side screens that complete the perimeter. Prices run from € 1.281 to € 6.823.

The two sizes, and what they cover

The Bioclimatic pergola BL-909 covers 300 × 300 cm, nine square metres: the right size for an outdoor dining table or a seating area. The Bioclimatic pergola BL-910 reaches 400 × 300 cm, twelve square metres, and comfortably covers a hot tub with its service space around it. Height is 250 cm on both. That is the most frequent pairing: the pergola makes the tub usable under midday sun or in light rain.

The side screens

ZIP screens turn the covered space into a sheltered room on all sides. They come in two widths, 3 and 4 metres, and two versions: fabric, which also screens the view, and clear PVC, which keeps the wind out while leaving the outlook open. They run on side guides and roll away when not needed. They are what extends the usable season: with the screens fitted the space stays usable through the shoulder months.

Installation

A pergola needs a level supporting surface and a fixing sized to the local wind load: it is a structure that offers resistance, and the anchoring is not a detail. Local planning rules should also be checked, because depending on the authority and the dimensions a bioclimatic pergola may require a notification or a permit. That is the step that extends timescales: it is worth addressing before ordering.
