Aluminum Pergola for Open Space
The aluminum pergola is the ideal shading system for an open space since it allows you to precisely adjust sunlight and ventilation, while when the blinds are completely closed, they offer 100% waterproof protection. Its installation is quick and its maintenance is minimal, making it a reliable choice. It works with SOMFY electric motors and its installation is recommended for outdoor areas such as balconies or residential penthouses. In other words, it is a shading system with countless choices in colors, typologies and automations; its system can be fully adapted to the needs of your space. With the aluminum pergola you get a durable, elegant and completely customizable open space, which upgrades the image and offers comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the wall allows it statically, the pergola can be installed without a front column, removing all or some columns depending on the geometry of the installation. In cases of wall mounting, a special wall-mounted component is used that ensures stability and proper load transfer. The pergola can be installed as a top-mounted, self-supporting or boxed, depending on the needs and technical data of the space.
The thickness of the profile we use is 5 mm, both in the roof beams and in the louvers, offering high mechanical strength and absolute stability in each structure. The increased thickness ensures greater rigidity, resistance to loads and excellent behavior in strong winds as well as daily use. This is a key quality element, ideal for pergolas intended for long-term, demanding and trouble-free operation.
In the fixed pergolas that we design, no visible slope is required, as the water flow is internal and not visible. The runoff is done through integrated channels within the profiles, which lead the water to hidden gutters. This ensures effective rainwater runoff without affecting the aesthetics of the structure.
The motor is integrated into the pergola structure, in a location protected from weather conditions but at the same time easily accessible. In case of technical inspection, access is possible without dismantling the structure; only the simple removal of a special cover is required. This ensures quick maintenance and immediate technical support whenever needed.
The cost of an aluminum pergola system is determined depending on the options and requirements of the shading system. For example, whether the system includes perimeter closure with retractable guillotine-type or stacked systems, whether the system will be supported on a wall with anti-corrosion or on columns, how many square meters the construction will be, whether it will be an addition to an existing installation.
The actual delivery time is up to 45 working days, a time that is never exceeded. Production is carried out exclusively on order, in order to ensure accuracy, correct assembly and quality control of each construction. In case of any small change, the customer is informed immediately and responsibly.
The weight of the structure ranges on average from 60 kg per square meter, with small fluctuations depending on the dimensions. The smaller the total area of the pergola, the higher the weight per square meter appears due to the denser distribution of the profiles. In total, a complete pergola can reach up to 800 kg, depending on the type, accessories and side elements chosen.
In case the customer wishes to add future ZIP screens or glass systems, the pergola is already fully prepared to accept them without any difficulty. We have taken care of the appropriate aluminum thickness and the correct dimensions from the design, so that all shading systems and glass screens fit perfectly. Thus, the customer can upgrade their space at any time, without additional modifications to the construction.
It is recommended that the pergola be maintained once a year to ensure the optimal functioning of all mechanisms. The annual inspection includes cleaning gutters, checking screws, lubricating moving parts and a quick check of the motor. With this procedure, the structure remains completely reliable and functional for many years.
We use aluminum at the ends of the blinds to ensure absolute strength, stability and homogeneity with the rest of the system. Choosing aluminum instead of plastic or other more sensitive types of materials offers a longer lifespan and better weather resistance. Thus, the blinds remain robust and reliable even after many years of use.
Our systems have all the necessary quality and safety certifications, such as TÜV SÜD, CE, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Contact us and we will be happy to send you the corresponding documents for each product.
