How does a bioclimatic pergola work?
Motorised aluminium louvres rotate to regulate sunlight and natural airflow. Depending on the model, they can also retract completely. When closed, the blades form a roof surface and direct rainwater into concealed channels.
Why it suits Antalya
Antalya needs solar control through much of the year. Unlike a fixed roof, adjustable louvres make it possible to respond to the time of day and season. This helps terraces, gardens and hospitality spaces remain comfortable for longer.
What the survey should cover
Opening size, solar orientation, prevailing wind, drainage route and structural support must be assessed together. These factors determine blade direction, motor specification, post positions and whether the roof should be divided into modules.
Combining it with glass
Guillotine glass, sliding glass and zip screens can turn the pergola into a more controlled outdoor room. Glazing, wind load, cleaning access and summer heat gain should be considered before selecting the enclosure.
Maintenance
Keep drainage channels clear, arrange periodic checks of moving parts and protect control equipment from moisture. Correct installation and routine care are central to long service life.
