How to choose your bioclimatic pergola?

For a top-of-the-range bioclimatic pergola, choose a sturdy, durable aluminum structure. Its aesthetic appeal, light weight and ability to tilt make it a highly appreciated product. What's more, aluminum is the ideal material to resist weathering and oxidation.

When choosing a bioclimatic pergola, it is important to consider the following criteria:

1. Material: Choose aluminum, which is durable, easy to maintain and keeps its appearance over the years.
2. Blade quality: Check the thickness and geometry of the blades to ensure their strength and good water drainage.
3. Rotating mechanisms: Make sure that the rotating mechanisms are robust, resistant to wear and oxidation.
4. Slat orientation: choose a pergola with a slat rotation system accurate to the degree to follow the path of the sun and optimize solar protection.
5. Post-installation servicing: Check that the pergola is designed to allow easy access to the motor and electrical and mechanical components in the event of servicing.
6. Accessories: Choose a provider offering a wide range of accessory options to personalize your pergola and optimize your comfort (awnings, heating, lighting, etc.).
7. French manufacturer and local advisors: Choose a French manufacturer and local sales advisors to support the local economy and guarantee local service.

In conclusion, an aluminum bioclimatic pergola, with quality slats, sturdy rotation mechanisms, a slat rotation system accurate to the degree, easy access to components for post-positioning interventions, numerous accessory options and a network of local sales advisors, will be the best for your bioclimatic pergola.

What's the ideal size for a pergola?

When it comes to pergolas, we recommend a minimum space of 5 square meters. For a meal for four, a space of 10 to 12 square meters is ideal. A 2 x 2.5-meter or 4 x 3-meter pergola would be perfect for creating a welcoming, comfortable space.

What are the disadvantages of a bioclimatic pergola?

To install a bioclimatic pergola, preparatory work is required, particularly for the ground support structure. It must be sturdy enough to support the considerable weight of the pergola, and if it's installed against a facade, the latter must be designed to withstand the weight and movements. It is therefore important to call in an expert to ensure that all the preparatory work is carried out properly.

What's the difference between a pergola and a bioclimatic pergola?

A bioclimatic pergola is a sturdy structure that offers both weather protection and comfortable outdoor space. It features an innovative slat system that can regulate light and air, as well as thermal and acoustic insulation up to 130 times better than a conventional pergola.

The bioclimatic pergola is designed for intensive, year-round use, and can reach a maximum surface area of 53 m² per module. A BIO-THERMAL pergola, on the other hand, is a conventional pergola offering protection from the elements, as well as thermal and acoustic insulation.

It is designed for occasional use, and can reach a maximum surface area of 32 m² per module. In addition, its structure is less robust, and its slats can withstand up to 300kg/m².

The bioclimatic pergola is therefore the best option if you want to enjoy a safe, comfortable outdoor space all year round. Its sturdier structure and ability to regulate light and air make it an ideal solution for outdoor spaces.
