Bioclimatic Pergola Systems
Motorized, weatherproof outdoor roofing systems that control sunlight, ventilation, and rainfall — available in three distinct opening mechanisms to match any project.
Four-Season Outdoor Comfort, Engineered Into the Roof
A bioclimatic system meets the demands of modern architecture with a high-durability, aesthetic structure that gives outdoor spaces year-round comfort. Specially designed opening and closing panels put you in control of sunlight, ventilation, and shading, while an integrated rainwater drainage system and durable aluminum profiles ensure long-lasting, low-maintenance use. Optional lighting, heating, automation, and glass-enclosure integrations turn a terrace, garden, café, or restaurant into a premium living space in any season.
Three Opening Mechanisms, One Reliable Roof
Every system shares the same weatherproofing, drainage, and finishing standards — the difference is how the panels move.
Tilt System
Motorized louvers rotate individually from fully closed to fully open, giving stepless control over light, shade, and airflow. Ideal where the priority is fine-tuned sun control rather than a fully retracting roof.
- ✔ Panel rotation from 0° to 105°
- ✔ Closed at 0° for full weather protection
- ✔ Ventilates even in light rain or snow
Scissor System
Panels are linked by a scissor-hinge mechanism riding on a motorized rail, so the roof folds and stacks together as it opens — turning the pergola into a fully open structure in seconds.
- ✔ Tubular motor with rail-guided panels
- ✔ Panels stack compactly when fully open
- ✔ Fast, smooth open/close cycle
Double Action System
A dual-panel configuration — fixed and pulling panels riding on bearing wheels within a C-channel rail — lets the roof extend across wider spans while keeping every panel tensioned and aligned in both directions of travel.
- ✔ Standard + pulling panel configuration
- ✔ Bearing-wheel rail system for wide spans
- ✔ Steel-wire tensioning keeps panels aligned
What Each System Is Built For
Tilt System — Light & Weather Control
At 0° the panels close flat and shed rain and snow completely. Around 45° they let daylight in while still shielding the space from direct glare, and at their widest angle they open fully for maximum sun and airflow. Because the panels rotate rather than retract, the roof structure itself is always in place — useful for spaces that need protection from wind as well as sun.
Scissor System — Fast, Full Opening
The scissor-hinge linkage lets adjoining panels fold against each other as the motor drives them along the rail, so the roof can go from fully closed to fully open — and back — in a single smooth motorized cycle. It suits spaces that want the option of a completely open sky on demand.
Double Action System — Wide-Span Coverage
By combining a fixed panel with a pulling panel that travels on bearing wheels inside a C-channel rail, this system is built to cover wider openings without sagging or misalignment. A tensioned steel wire keeps the moving panel tracking true across the full length of travel.
Bioclimatic Systems, Installed
Aluminum Profile Cross-Sections
The same profile family — gutter, panel, and pillar — forms the structural backbone of all three systems.
Gutter Profile — collects and channels rainwater
Panel Profile — the rotating / sliding louver blade
Pillar Profile — the load-bearing support post
Built on the Same Standards
☔ Integrated Rainwater Drainage
Water is collected from the panels into the gutters and channeled down through the vertical posts, with notched gutter and post profiles ensuring clean discharge to the outside.
🎨 Any RAL Colour, Your Choice
Every profile can be finished in the RAL colour of your choice to match the surrounding architecture.
🧱 Weather-Grade Materials
6063 T5 aluminum profiles paired with stainless steel and Derlin components stand up to rain, wind, and years of outdoor use.
💡 Optional Lighting & Automation
LED lighting strips, heating units, remote controls, and Somfy-compatible motor automation can all be integrated into any of the three systems.
