We have written up the questions that come up most often during survey visits: choosing a system, what drives the price, maintenance and comparisons — all from our own fieldwork.
Pergola Systems Guide: Which System Suits Which Need?
Pergola systems cover an outdoor area to provide shade and protection from the weather. In modern systems the roof is not fixed: bioclimatic models rotate their louvres, rolling roofs open completely, awnings gather fabric. The right choice depends on whether the space will be used in winter.
Bioclimatic Pergola or Winter Garden? A Decision Guide
The essential difference between a bioclimatic pergola and a winter garden is thermal insulation. A pergola gives shade and rain protection but does not turn the space into a heatable volume; a winter garden does. That difference drives cost, planning status and how the space works in winter.
The 8 Factors That Determine Pergola Prices
A pergola cannot be priced from a ready-made list, because two installations of the same square metre area can cost noticeably different amounts once profile section and site access are taken into account. This article explains the eight factors so you can judge a quote yourself.
Guillotine Glass or Sliding Glass? Glass Systems Compared
Guillotine glass panels move vertically and leave the opening completely clear when open. Sliding glass panels move horizontally and allow partial opening, but occupy space at one end. The right choice depends on the proportions of the opening and whether there is room for panels to stack.
Smart Roof and Automation Systems: What Sensors Actually Do
In smart roof systems automation looks like a comfort item, but its real function is damage prevention. A rain sensor closes the system when nobody is home; a wind sensor moves the louvres to a safe position above a set speed. These two sensors directly extend the life of the system.
Terrace Enclosure Guide: System Choice, Permission and Cost
Terrace enclosure is not a single product but a family of solutions chosen according to need. There are three main approaches: pergola systems that cover only the top, glass systems that close the sides, and full enclosure combining both. If insulation is required the solution becomes a winter garden.
Pergola Maintenance and Cleaning Guide: Annual Checklist
Aluminium pergola systems need little maintenance. The mechanism runs on maintenance-free bearings, so no periodic lubrication is required. Cleaning the louvres, rails and gutter system with water once a year is enough in most installations.
Pergola Lighting Guide: LED Selection and Placement
Pergola lighting uses IP65 LED strips recessed into the profile. A recessed solution shows no cabling and keeps the visual integrity of the system. But it can only be done during production; strips surface-mounted afterwards leave visible cabling.
How to Choose a Pergola Manufacturer: A 10-Question Checklist
A pergola is not a catalogue product but a structure made to measure, so choosing the company comes before choosing the product. The difference between two systems that look identical lies in profile wall thickness, structural calculation and installation quality — and those only surface when you ask.
What Is a Zip Screen? A Guide to Zipped Shading Systems
A zip screen is a motorised vertical shading system held permanently taut by zipped guide rails on both edges of the fabric. Unlike a conventional blind the fabric cannot leave the track and does not flap in the wind. The same construction also blocks insects at the sides.
What Is a Rolling Roof? Retractable Roof Systems Explained
A rolling roof is a pergola system whose roof opens and closes completely under motor control. It is also known as a retractable or sliding roof. Closed, EPDM seals give full water tightness; open, the sky above the space is completely clear.
