Beauty And Versatility
The adjustable roof of the Bioclimatique pergola effectively expands the available outdoor living space in a property, offering versatile comfort for any property owner. The system operates on a “flap” system similar to Venetian blinds that can be rotated amazingly to 110 degrees using a center pivot system. The rotating louvers help to control sunlight and shade during any time of the day. When it’s raining or the user wants some shade, the louvered roof of this pergola can be closed flat and the built-in, proprietary invisible gutter, and invisible downspout system will drain the rain without incident. See the videos on this page for invisible gutter and post drainage.
These beautiful and adaptable units are perfect for backyards and outdoor living and dining areas in commercial, residential, municipal, governmental, and institutional properties alike. The rotating louvered roof system beautifully accommodates hot tubs, swimming pools, lounging areas, pergolas, patios, decks, and much more. For those owning or managing a restaurant, hotel, nightclub, beer garden, or pub, the rotating louver roof system will provide comfort and cover 24/7/365 thus increasing sales revenue. Event coordinators can also use the rotating louvered roof system during weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, corporate events, baby showers, and more.
There are many benefits to implementing a pergola with a motorized, louvered roof on a property.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where is the motor located in this louvered roof pergola, and does it add any additional width to the retractable patio and deck cover system?
The motor on Roman fold models, all of which are motorized, is always in the rear of the unit and usually located in the middle of the unit on a three-span unit and on either the left or right side on a two-span unit. On the Bioclimatique rotating louver roof model, the motor/actuator is either on the left or right side of the frame and is internal and invisible (proprietary patented design). The Perugia model cannot be motorized at the present time.
The motor does not add any additional width to any of our pergola models as the motor is always within the dimensions needed/ordered.
What is the difference between all of the retractable patio covers, louvered roof pergolas, and deck cover models you offer?
Most models vary in appearance regarding the placement of the front beam and the number of guides from front to back. The other major difference is whether the model is flat, angled, or curved and where the rainwater drains.
All models are waterproof except for the Perugia, Verona, and Torino models. These three models are for sun protection only and not rain protection.
Models vary in terms of the maximum width and projection available
Models vary in terms of construction – either aluminum or wood framed (excluding the Perugia model)
A variety of pergola models are available with motorized louvered roofs and retractable awning styles.
Which retractable patio deck pergola cover system model is right for me?
That depends on what type of weather you plan to have the product extended or partially extended in, where you would like to install the retractable patio deck pergola cover system, the amount of wind you need the unit to handle when extended or partially extended, the size you need or want (the area you want to cover), whether you want it for sun protection only or sun and heavy rain or sun, heavy rain, hail and snow and of course your budget.
Can I leave the louvered roof system pergola open in the wind and if so, how much wind?
All of our retractable patio deck pergola cover system models are Beaufort wind load approved in the fully extended position from Beaufort six (25-30 mph/39-49 km/hr) to Beaufort 12 (73 mph/118 km/hr). Beaufort wind load number between 6 and 12 varies based on model and size (Perugia and Torino models are excluded and are not Beaufort wind load approved).
Can I use or leave my retractable patio deck pergola cover system extended during the rain or during the snow season?
All retractable patio deck pergola cover systems from Retractableawnings.com are designed for HEAVY rain, even hail (Perugia, Verona, and Torino models excluded). HEAVY rainfall is considered more than .30” (7.6mm) per hour per the American Meteorological Society. The only models that are designed for heavy rain, hail, hurricanes, and snow load are our Elazig and Bioclimatique pergolas with motorized louvered roof systems.
Can I install your retractable patio deck pergola cover system on vinyl or aluminum siding, stucco, or masonry (common materials used for masonry are brick, concrete block, granite, glass block, marble, travertine, cast stone, limestone, and cob) or mobile home?
