Motorized BIPV pergola

The straight lines of this modern bioclimatic pergola are first noticeable in the supporting structure: square, unadorned posts connected by horizontal beams. Two materials make up this structure depending on the chosen model, aluminum or metal, both treated against corrosion before assembly.

The adjustable louvered roof rests on these beams and covers the entire area delimited by the four posts. The louvers pivot around a common axis, allowing for a homogeneous opening across the entire length of the roof. The chosen material, aluminum or metal, slightly influences the weight of the structure without altering its functionality.

Installed on a terrace, the pergola forms a clear framework that structures the outdoor space. The straight lines of the posts and beams contrast with the more irregular shapes of a planted garden. Once the louvers are closed, the cover forms a continuous surface above the furniture installed underneath.

Modern bioclimatic pergola in aluminum or metal, from 3x3m to 4x5m

The 3x3m format defines a square area, suitable for a table seating four to six people. The 3x4m format adds one meter of depth, allowing for the separation of a dining area from a seating area under the same roof.

The 4x4m format covers a larger area, designed for a terrace that accommodates multiple uses simultaneously. The 4x5m format further extends the available length, with enough space for a low lounge area in addition to a table.

The choice of material follows a distinct logic from that of size. Aluminum remains lighter for an equivalent structure, while metal provides a greater mass, especially noticeable on large formats like 4x5m. The dimension, on the other hand, primarily depends on the available surface area on the terrace.

To organize the space under the roof, a garden furniture set installed underneath complements the structure. The selection of bioclimatic pergolas allows for comparison of other formats and materials before making a choice.

An aluminum or metal structure for a modern bioclimatic pergola

Facing direct sunlight, the closed louvers block radiation over the entire covered surface, regardless of the structure's material. In the open position, air circulates between each louver and limits heat accumulation underneath.

Both aluminum and treated metal resist corrosion, even on a terrace exposed to repeated rains. Both materials require the same routine maintenance, with no additional specific treatment for one or the other.

For large formats, such as 4x4m or 4x5m, the chosen material influences the perceived rigidity of the assembly. This modern bioclimatic pergola maintains the same logic of adjustable louvers, whether the structure is made of aluminum or metal.
