Bioclimatic pergolas, the perfect solution for your terrace
In architecture, the decorative elements open the way to a new generation, where new technologies and materials applied to the principles of bioclimatic architecture, frame the environment and allow us to enjoy the outdoor spaces, dressing the porches or terraces with great elegance, not only the summer months if not also the rest of the year, a new experience with the bioclimatic pergolas that apply the latest resources to reduce energy consumption. Do you dare to discover them with us? Surely we will surprise you!
Its bioclimatic technology gives us a protection and optimization of the use of outdoor spaces, allowing adjusting the installation at all times, ventilation in case of strong heat, and protection against rain, wind or snow. All this thanks to a simple operation of aluminum slats manually or by remote control that allows us to orient them in any position or close them completely.
Installing a bioclimatic pergola in your garden or terrace is a safe bet, not only for the design, innovation and avant-garde that it brings but also for the comfort and functionality that is achieved in the spaces allowing us to enjoy them at any time and at any time with the maximum guarantee and quality thanks to personalized designs where exclusivity and elegance take center stage in the space.
Adjustable slats that regulate light
The adjustable slats are the key to this type of roof, offering the protection of a porch but with the versatility of an awning and without any of its drawbacks. In this case they are adjustable between 120-175º, so not only can they protect themselves from solar radiation by maintaining a well-lit space, but they also generate natural ventilation while keeping the space shaded. The circulation of air between the slats avoids the greenhouse effect, the air is renewed and cooled functioning as a natural air conditioning. There are systems with rain and wind sensors. That is, devices with which the pergola orients the slats automatically in the most convenient position as soon as it detects that water falls from the sky or that the air blows stronger than normal.
The water is evacuated by one side of the pergola, this way it does not accumulate on them, preventing the water from falling once the slats are reoriented. In addition, this rainwater can be recovered if desired. Townhouses contribute to energy efficiency in buildings, reducing the need for air conditioning, protecting the facades of insolation and the outdoor furniture of the sun and rain.
With just 5º of opening, the pergola is still waterproof despite rain, but allows the area to aerate to avoid a greenhouse effect. In a position of 90º, the opening of the slats allows a total use of the sun. Finally, the position of 175º reached by some models facilitates bioclimatic ventilation, accelerating the rising air current. The total regulation of the slats makes possible an optimal combination of sun and ventilation at any time of the day.
Customize and adapt the space
In the market there are plenty of materials, options to combine and make the closure to your needs. Thanks to research (R & D) we also find wind-resistant, motorized blinds, which create a protective environment. You can choose side corridor panels. There are also panels with solar protection or wood slats with the possibility of personalization. In any case, the most usual materials are usually aluminum and synthetic materials. Although the wood has become fashionable again and is easily combined with other materials. In any case, they always give rise to sober and contemporary compositions that perfectly stand the test of time, both from an aesthetic and functional point of view.
In winter the slats close completely preventing the entry of water, wind or even snow. When the sun lowers enough to sneak through the sides, the bioclimatic pergolas offer the perfect solution: the use of intelligent enclosure panels made of different materials, methacrylate, lattices, mobile panels or textile blinds, which offer from radiation blockage solar to light filtering and even integration of heating circuits. In this way you will create, a greenhouse effect, a space in which the daytime heat will accumulate and that will be transferred to the interior of the house at night.
The solid structure has another notable advantage: its resistance. And is that this type of pergolas are able to withstand gusts of winds of up to 200 kilometers per hour or even withstand 150 kg of snow.
The evolution of specific fabrics for outdoor use allows them to be used in the pergolas instead of the slats. The textile ceilings offer a solar protection in addition to a watertightness thanks to its waterproof and waterproof fabric. A great advantage is that they can be folded and deployed with motorized systems, as we have said before.
Another interesting application is the stretched canvas. These adopt creative forms and combinations, always depending on their cut and the position of the grip points by stainless steel cables.
The bioclimatic pergolas protect from rain and air, from the sun and regulate light, their configuration adapts to all outdoor spaces creating a unique and exclusive environment, giving a pleasant sensation of openness and freedom of vision.
