Why do businesses prefer a pergola on their terrace?
Let's find out why the foodservice industry is increasingly turning to these systems.
Eating out is an activity that we love, and with the arrival of a new normality in our lives, we have learned to enjoy outdoor dining even more, mainly on the terraces of bars and restaurants. In recent months we have seen how the restaurant sector has decided to reinvent its terraces to offer a plus to its diners. Businesses have understood that an open area is much more compatible with the health safety measures we are currently living with.
Besides, the charm of being able to eat with a good view is priceless. Whether in a city square or street, or with a natural wonder in the background, an outdoor meal is always special.
What is the trend?
The most current solution for terraces is the pergola. Inclined, gabled or at 90°, pergolas offer total protection 365 days a year. During the summer, protection from UV rays and high temperatures is assured. In colder seasons or in rainy conditions, you can close the walls with a vertical zip awning or glass enclosures.
With the installation of a custom-made aluminum pergola we will have the possibility to recreate an elegant atmosphere outdoors. Its presence allows to reinvent the outdoor spaces at any time of the day, either in the hottest moments or in the most humid nights, thanks to its possibility of internal illumination.
Among the advantages of this protection system we can find:
Resistance.
Pergolas enhanced aluminum as the main element are characterized by some very useful features. First of all, the durability of the design over time. Being a material resistant to moisture and UV rays, the aluminum pergola does not deteriorate with exposure to weathering.
To this we can add the variety of colors provided by the super durable paint that guarantees longevity and resistance to saltpeter and rust.
Versatility.
There are different types of pergolas to facilitate the adaptation with the architecture of the premises.
Among the most popular are the attached pergolawhich is installed against the wall and is generally mounted on balconies or terraces.
The most useful option, however, when the terrace is in a separate area from the wall, is the self-supporting version, which is supported on all four sides and therefore does not require any supporting structure.
But if you have a large outdoor space to use, the double pillar version of the double pillars is ideal, as it can cover up to 180 m² and does not need to be anchored to any structure.
Practicality.
Trends change and so do permits and municipal requirements. The possibility of installing a structure without building work can make things much easier for you. As it is "non-permanent", a terrace pergola installed in a store will require few requirements in comparison to the certificates needed to install a solar protection system on site.
