Bioclimatic Pergolas: Harnessing Nature and Innovation

Posted at 11:26h in Latest News by

The key to this type of pergola is its roofs, built with adjustable and motorized aluminium slats. They can be rotated and stopped in a certain position, allowing the desired amount of light to be regulated at any given moment. Thanks to this innovative system, the temperature is controlled, allowing you to enjoy any outdoor area whatever the weather. The possibility of turning the slats also prevents the greenhouse effect, as the air is constantly being renewed, preventing the heat from accumulating.

In addition, these rotating slats are watertight, so when it rains, you can continue enjoying them under their protection without fear of getting wet. They have a drainage system on one of their sides that prevents water from stagnating and falling on the space where they are installed when the slats open again.

LED lighting can also be installed in bioclimatic pergolas, offering the possibility of creating perfect atmospheres to enjoy the space at any time of the day and regardless of the weather. LED lights surround the entire perimeter of the pergola.

ADVANTAGES OF BIOCLIMATIC PERGOLAS

  • Sun protection: The motorised, adjustable ceiling louvers regulate the light entering the room.
  • Wind protection: Besides regulating the air inlet, the louvers close completely in the event of strong gusts of wind.
  • Rain protection: The slats can be closed hermetically in case of rain, preventing the passage of water. In addition, they have a drainage system so that the water does not wet the room when the slats are opened again.
  • Design: the design of bioclimatic pergolas is modern and allows for a wide range of combinations.
  • Easy clean: the cleaning of the masts and slats is done with soap and water.
  • Low maintenance: Unlike other outdoor protection systems, bioclimatic pergolas are almost maintenance-free.
  • Energy saving: The sun in winter or good ventilation in summer will avoid the use of heating and air conditioning inside the house.

Innovations Shaping Outdoor Spaces

The market for bioclimatic pergolas is on an upward trajectory, with Transparency Market Research forecasting growth from $741 million by 2031. This surge is attributed to the increasing consumer desire for luxurious, versatile outdoor spaces that can adapt to various weather conditions while being aesthetically pleasing.

Bioclimatic pergolas stand out for their innovative features, such as premium insulated sandwich panel roofs with automated screens and advanced color-matching capabilities. This allows for seamless integration of the structures into any architectural style, ensuring they complement the existing environment rather than detract from it.
