Bioclimatic Pergola: what is it and what advantages does it offer?
What is a bioclimatic pergola?
Technically, a bioclimatic pergola is an innovative and motorized structure composed of aluminum slats that can be adjusted by remote control. The rotation of the slats allows to regulate the entrance of sun rays, wind or even rain, thanks to its particular motorization system.
The total closure of the louvers creates a waterproof barrier that prevents water from entering in rainy conditions; in addition, water is channeled to the sides, thanks to a drainage system that guarantees total coverage.
Unlike pergolas with fixed slats, bioclimatic pergolas allow the modification of their inclination according to solar radiation or wind direction.
The regulation of the louvers allows, then, to regulate the entrance of the sun's rays, together with the air flow, which guarantees a cool and shaded climate at will. This air mobility is reflected in potential energy savings in air conditioning and heating systems.
Sahara Siwah bioclimatic pergola
The Siwah pergola has the ability to regulate the microclimate inside. The adjustable louvers allow to regulate the position according to the needs of each climatic condition.
0° provides maximum protection and sealing against wind, rain and solar radiation.
Between 45º or 135º we facilitate the flow of air and regulate the passage of light according to our needs.
And at 90°, Siwah allows free passage of sunlight. In addition, this inclination can be used after a snowfall to prevent the accumulation of snowflakes or hail.
Advantages of a bioclimatic pergola.
The first and clearest advantage is the creation of an outdoor space that is completely compatible with any time of the year. Thanks to its slat mobility system, it provides the space with natural ventilation, regulating the microclimate inside. This air circulation helps to reduce energy consumption when heating or cooling the space.
Another feature that differentiates a bioclimatic pergola from the rest in the market is the possibility of moving and adjusting the slats remotely via remote control. The Sahara Siwah includes a proprietary software system called Sahara App Control, which allows you to manage the product via remote control using any Apple iOS or Android device.
Last but not least, the installation of a bioclimatic pergola does not require any permit or certificate, as its structure is considered temporary and therefore removable.
