Adjust light and air with rotating louvres. Drainage in the closed position is planned for the selected model and the installation.
On a bioclimatic pergola the roof louvres rotate on their own axis. As the louvre angle changes, light, shade and airflow are adjusted.
Drainage of rain in the closed position is planned around the details of the selected model and the installation; we determine the right dimensions and equipment for the project from your measurements.
The aluminium louvres rotate on their own axis by motor. As the angle changes, so do the light and air reaching the space below.
Closed, water drains through the gutter and the supporting columns. Performance in rain is planned together with slope, joints and drainage.
The motor and controls are chosen for the size of the system and how often it is used. Rain, wind and sun sensors can be added.
From your measurements we compare the roof systems against your budget.

What sets the bioclimatic pergola apart from the other roof systems is that the roof can be adjusted without opening it: the louvres rotate in place. On a motorised pergola awning a PVC blackout cover retracts; on a Rolling Roof the panels are drawn back.
On a bioclimatic pergola the louvres rotate, on a motorised pergola awning a three-layer PVC blackout cover retracts, and on a Rolling Roof moving panels are drawn back. We work out which suits you from how the space will be used.
It is fitted wherever the top is to be covered and the light adjusted.
Terraces, gardens and poolsides. If the sides are needed, glass or zip screens are planned in the same project.
Seating areas whose need for light and air changes through the day. Drainage and lighting are shown in the design.
Entrance canopies and break areas. The conformity and test documents that apply to the product are shared at the quotation stage.
The table below shows the components of the system and the options. Dimensions, loads and performance values depend on the selected model and the project; profile section and connection details are calculated separately for each project.
| Roof | Aluminium louvres that rotate to open and close |
|---|---|
| Load-bearing profile | Aluminium profile; the section is chosen for the span and the selected model. |
| Surface finish | Electrostatic powder coating |
| Colour options | RAL colour range, wood-effect lamination, custom colours |
| Feasible dimensions | Feasible dimensions are confirmed from your measurements and the structural design. |
| Wind and snow load | Wind and snow loads are calculated from the project dimensions and the installation site. |
| Use in rain | Closed louvres direct water to the gutter. Performance in rain is planned together with slope, joints and drainage. |
|---|---|
| Drainage | Drainage through the gutter and the supporting columns |
| Motor and controls | The motor and controls are chosen for the size of the system and how often it is used. |
| Sensor options | Rain, wind and sun sensors can be added |
| Lighting | Optional LED lighting integrated in the profile |
| Electrical components | The protection class of electrical components is stated for the selected model. |
| Mounting | Floor, wall or roof mounting |
| Warranty | Warranty scope and periods are stated per product and component in the written quotation and the warranty document. |
| Documents | The conformity and test documents that apply to the product are shared at the quotation stage. |

A bioclimatic pergola cannot be priced from a ready-made list; dimensions, model, level of automation and installation conditions differ on every project.
The reviews below are taken from Pergola Viva's Google Business Profile and are reproduced unchanged.
A three-layer waterproof PVC blackout roof cover opens and retracts by motor. Shading and use in rain are described in terms of the material and the installation details.
Read moreMoving roof panels open and close the roof. We show the direction of the panels and the area left open in the design for the model to be used.
Read moreA solution in which the roof and, where needed, the sides are designed together for the space. For heated use, the insulation of the whole envelope is assessed separately.
Read moreThe 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.
Read the guideA 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.
Read the guidePergola systems cover an outdoor area to provide shade and protection from the weather. In modern systems the roof is not fixed: on a bioclimatic pergola the louvres rotate, on a motorised pergola awning a three-layer PVC blackout cover retracts, and on a Rolling Roof moving panels are drawn back.
Read the guideClosed louvres direct water to the gutter, and it drains through the columns. Performance in rain is planned together with slope, joints and drainage; the details of the selected model are stated in the quotation.
On a bioclimatic pergola the roof is made of rotating aluminium louvres. On a motorised pergola awning the roof is a three-layer PVC blackout cover that opens and retracts by motor. A Rolling Roof works with moving roof panels.
Wind and snow loads are calculated from the project dimensions and the installation site. Operating limits are stated at handover.
Feasible dimensions are confirmed from your measurements and the structural design. On wide areas a modular layout is possible.
For heated use, the roof, glass, profiles, floor, airtightness and ventilation are assessed as a whole. If that is the aim, let us look at a winter garden solution together.
Scope and conditions are stated in the written quotation and the warranty document.
