Bioclimatic pergolas: aluminum design with adjustable slats
Bioclimatic pergolas are the natural evolution of our outdoor spaces. Thanks to their technology and cutting-edge design, they are capable of creating perfectly habitable environments year-round. If you want to enjoy your terrace, garden, or patio without worrying about weather conditions, SIX96 bioclimatic pergolas are the perfect solution for you.
Made of aluminum, they are extremely corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and have a long lifespan, allowing you to enjoy them for a long time. Their installation allows you to create designer environments that integrate perfectly with any modern architectural style. They incorporate adjustable slats that can rotate from 0° to 145°, allowing you to control the amount of light and ventilation filtering into the bioclimatic pergola at all times.
Why choose SIX96 bioclimatic pergolas?
- sun protection: The adjustable louver system opens and closes the sun. When the louvers are closed, they provide complete shade, creating a cool and pleasant environment even on the hottest summer days. The adjustable orientation allows you to adjust the intensity of the shade as needed.
- Protection from rain and wind: The lower part of the slats is completely flat, so when closed, they provide a smooth surface that blends in with the rest of the pergola. The slats have been specially designed to drain rainwater toward the perimeter beams, which channel the water to the drainage point. If you want to add extra protection on the sides, you can configure your bioclimatic pergola with glass side enclosures or motorized fabric screens.
- Air flow regulation: Our bioclimatic pergolas generate natural ventilation that promotes air circulation, avoiding the stuffy feeling typical of a closed space like this. This way, you can maintain a pleasant temperature for longer.
- Energy saving: A well-installed bioclimatic pergola reduces a home's energy consumption. During the summer, it provides shade for windows and facades, reducing the heat load, while in winter, opening the slats allows the sun to warm the interior of the home.
- Installation in no time: Depending on the complexity and size, pergola installation may take longer. From the time you choose your bioclimatic pergola to its installation, it takes a few weeks.
- Multiple customization possibilities: Every project is unique, and SIX96 pergolas adapt to this reality by offering endless customization options. Choose the exact dimensions, finishes, or a multitude of accessories such as LED lighting, infrared heaters, audio systems, or temperature and wind sensors.
- simple maintenance: The high-quality aluminum used in these pergolas requires minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient to maintain their original appearance for decades.
- Safety: The ground anchoring system ensures that the pergola structure always remains in place. Additionally, the wall-to-wall configurations add even more resistance to gusty winds or snow loads.
- More privacy: Bioclimatic pergolas with enclosures and screens increase the privacy of the space, keeping it away from prying eyes. These solutions make sense in urban environments where the proximity of other homes sometimes limits the sense of intimacy.
- Increase the value of your home: A bioclimatic pergola increases the value of your home. This increase is due both to the increase in the usable area of the home and to the aesthetic and functional improvements it provides.
- Installation carried out by professional fitters: The SIX96 installation team has years of experience installing bioclimatic pergolas.
- Extended warranty: At SIX96, you get a 10-year warranty on aluminum structural elements. This reflects our confidence in premium materials and detailed manufacturing processes. We also offer a 3-year warranty on electronic devices. Defective devices are guaranteed to be replaced or repaired, provided they are not caused by improper installation, misuse, dirt, or an accident.
Features of pergolas
Bioclimatic pergolas are characterized by their robust structure and minimalist design. Their various configurations allow for exceptionally large dimensions while maintaining their structural strength. They are designed so that all transmission systems are concealed within the structure, creating a space free of visual distortion.
They incorporate a rain drainage system and withstand winds of up to 175 km/h. They can be mounted with wall anchors or simply with self-supporting pillars. The slats are moved by a motor hidden in the frame, and you can control the degree of opening at all times.
Equip your bioclimatic pergola and redefine your outdoor lifestyle
A bioclimatic pergola not only offers protection from the sun, rain, or wind. It's also an opportunity to transform your terrace or garden into a functional, aesthetically pleasing, and adaptable space year-round. Adding optional equipment expands the possibilities and elevates comfort to the highest level.
Optional equipment systems available:
- LED and RGB perimeter lighting: Lighting system with low-consumption, high-performance LED and RGB spotlights installed around the perimeter of the structure. Ideal for creating warm or dynamic environments, depending on the occasion.
- Integrated audio system: Enjoy your favorite music outdoors with an audio system integrated into the structure itself, with no visible elements or exposed wiring.
- Control from smartphone: Manage all of your pergola's features from a single mobile app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. Enjoy complete, real-time control from anywhere.
- Versatile enclosures: Insulate your space from the outdoors with a variety of enclosure solutions: sliding glass doors, fixed panels, mobile systems, and more. Protect your space without sacrificing visibility or style.
- Infrared heating: Maintain a comfortable temperature year-round with discreetly integrated infrared heating systems. Ideal for maximizing space, even in winter.
- Roll-up screens: Screens available in a variety of colors and finishes, perfect for blocking out side sunlight, providing privacy, or protecting from the wind.
- Rain sensor: It detects the presence of water on the slats and activates their automatic closing to protect the space.
- Wind sensor: In strong gusts, open the slats to reduce structural pressure, preserving safety.
- Snow sensor: It combines rain detection with ambient temperature to prevent snow accumulation by preemptively opening the slats.
Bioclimatic pergola configurations and types
The bioclimatic pergolas in our catalog are available in different configurations and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as protecting your vehicle, creating a relaxation area in an attic, or installing them next to the pool to make your bathing more comfortable.
Self-supporting bioclimatic pergola
It's the most versatile option, as it doesn't require support from any existing structure. It stands entirely on its own pillars, allowing it to be placed anywhere in the garden, terrace, or patio. This configuration is ideal for creating independent spaces. The self-supporting structure allows for greater design freedom, allowing us to create rectangular, square, or even L-shaped shapes that adapt to different spaces. Furthermore, this configuration simplifies future modifications or extensions, as it doesn't affect the structure of the home.
Bioclimatic pergola attached to the wall
The attached pergola uses an existing wall as support. This configuration allows for seamless integration with the home's architecture, making it suitable for terraces and porches. By using the wall as support, the need for pillars on one side is eliminated, creating a more open space and facilitating the transition between the interior and exterior of the home.
Bioclimatic pergola between two walls
This configuration utilizes two parallel walls, between which the bioclimatic pergola is placed. It's the perfect solution for creating a fully integrated space in interior courtyards or spaces between buildings. The result is an extremely stable space that blends seamlessly with the architecture.
Double-span bioclimatic pergola
This solution uses a central beam that divides the space into two sections, each with its own adjustable slat system. The double-span design is ideal for restaurants, hotels, or homes with very large outdoor spaces. It allows the slats to be opened in zones to create different atmospheres within the same space, allowing each section to be adjusted independently.
Retractable bioclimatic pergola
It combines the advantages of adjustable slats with a roof that can be fully opened, revealing panoramic views of the sky. This configuration uses a rail system that allows the adjustable slats to be fully or partially retracted. It's the most versatile option, as you can go from a completely protected and sheltered cabin to a completely open space in just a few minutes.
Bioclimatic pergola for garage
They offer a large enough space to park your vehicle while remaining completely protected from the elements. This setup is less expensive than building a garage, and they can also be used for other purposes, such as storing smaller vehicles or storing and protecting garden equipment.
Bioclimatic aluminum pergolas for swimming pools
Their design allows for the creation of perfect shaded areas for enjoying the pool during the summer months, allowing you to enjoy the water without excessive sun exposure. They can be used to create a sheltered dining area or to fully or partially cover the pool.
Uses of bioclimatic pergolas
Bioclimatic pergolas are increasingly popular in both the contract and residential sectors thanks to their versatility, which allows them to adapt to multiple needs and uses.
At home, they've changed the way families enjoy their terraces and gardens. Pergolas create perfectly defined areas for relaxing, reading, and admiring the landscape. Their protection from water and wind allows them to be used alongside outdoor furniture, turning these spaces into an extension of the home. In attics, they also help make these spaces more comfortable, allowing us to use them in ways we wouldn't otherwise.
Restaurants, hotels, and shopping centers have found bioclimatic pergolas to be the perfect solution for expanding their capacity year-round. The ability to completely enclose the space allows them to offer quality service even when the weather conditions outside aren't ideal.
How to choose the size of my bioclimatic pergola
Choosing the right size for your bioclimatic pergola requires taking several factors into account. At SIX96, you can customize your pergola completely, so we can make any configuration you have in mind a reality.
The first step is to define your intended use and choose a size based on that. If you're using it to create a dining area, you should leave approximately 1,5 m² of space per person, but we recommend adding at least 80 cm more on each side. If your primary use is to create a relaxation area, you can choose slightly smaller bioclimatic pergolas.
South-facing bioclimatic pergolas require a larger surface area to better distribute shade throughout the day, while those facing east or west make better use of the space. You should consider the size of the pergola in relation to the facade of your home, so that it doesn't appear too large or too small. The pergola should not occupy more than one-third of the total outdoor space.
Bioclimatic pergolas built with quality materials
The quality of the materials directly impacts the durability, functionality, and aesthetics of a bioclimatic pergola. At SIX96, we exclusively use aluminum for structural elements, a durable material that is also lightweight, facilitating both installation and the operation of the mobile mechanisms.
The different materials undergo various quality tests to verify their structural strength, stability, and performance under various weather conditions. The tests carried out under regulatory requirements address several parameters, such as resistance to wind, rain, or snow, resulting in excellent performance under the most adverse conditions.
How to choose your bioclimatic pergola step by step
- Choose dimensions: Start by measuring the available square footage, but remember that the pergola shouldn't take up the entire space. It's recommended to leave at least 1,5 meters free on at least two sides to maintain a sense of spaciousness. The maximum height of 3 meters under the beam is comfortable for most uses.
- Choose the configuration and type of pergola: The choice between freestanding and attached pergolas depends on both the location you choose and the aesthetic you want to give your space. Attached pergolas create a better fit with the home, but freestanding pergolas offer greater flexibility in terms of installation location and design.
- Choose the materials and finishes: Our bioclimatic pergolas are available in a selection of standard and custom RAL colors. All lacquers are QUALICOAT certified, ensuring maximum durability, strength, and finish quality.
- Optional equipment: Add all the accessories you may need to your bioclimatic pergola, considering all your current and future needs.
