Enhance Your Home With a Louver Pergola
This Bioclimatique Retractable Louver Roof pergola is one of the most innovative shade and shelter structures on the market due to the adjustable roof slats/louvers that can adapt to any weather condition including snow. This louver pergola can be used on decks for protection during bbq’s, parties and gatherings, poolside to protect your family and friends from the sun, and on porches and patios to enhance curb appeal and block harmful UV rays, heat and glare.
This unique retractable pergola canopy provides a stylish way to protect guests and residents from the weather and allow them to enjoy it. The addition of this stylish louvered roof system, either free-standing or attached to your home, instantly adds a touch of outdoor living luxury to any residence and creates a cozy outdoor area that can be used for a myriad of activities.
The motorized slats/blades, or pergola louvers, can be closed to protect from the hot sunlight, UV rays, glare, heat, rain, hail, or even snow. Activities like outdoor dining, socializing, meetings, and even weekend neighborhood get-togethers can continue regardless of the weather conditions.
During pleasant weather, the slats/blades/louvers can be retracted or opened to let in invigorating sunshine during morning coffee or a sliver of romantic moonlight during a candlelight dinner.
Luxurious Options
For greater security and protection at home, framed or frameless sliding glass doors can be installed along the sides of this louvered pergola to create an outdoor room that can be heated in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer. For homes, this cover can create any kind of outer room you like, from a work-at-home setup to a playroom for the kids, with full utilities and instant access to the rest of the home.
For more privacy or added protection from the sun, optional drapes and curtains can be installed along the sides. Another option available with this kind of louvered roof system is to install retractable motorized vertical drop awning screens for excellent sun, wind, rain, heat, UV, and glare control (protection varies by fabric type).
The Bioclimatique Retractable Louver Roof pergola is constructed with corrosion-free powder-coated 6063 aluminum frames that can be designed to fit any outdoor living area. The protection it gives from any weather condition converts any open-air space into a protected environment.
Internal, invisible gutters and downspouts within the beams and posts are used for draining rainwater, preventing splashing of water on the floor and giving this product a clean, streamlined appearance. The motorized louver slats or blades can be adjusted electronically via remote control, wall switch, tablet, or smartphone, and the entire canopy is wind load tested to over 70mph/115 km/hr to ensure stability and can be engineered to higher wind loads if required or wanted.
