What is a bioclimatic terrace?

The roof of a bioclimatic terrace generally consists of adjustable slats. Made from aluminium, this type of roof can be adjusted manually or automatically. A motorised system is often preferred. This provides greater comfort for the user and prevents damage caused by mishandling.
The adjustable slats of an aluminium bioclimatic pergola can even be fully automated using weather receivers. The rain sensor instantly closes the slats when it rains. Conversely, the wind sensor opens the aluminium roof to protect your shelter from storms.

A bioclimatic pergola protects your terrace from the summer heat thanks to its adjustable slats. Tilted, they create shade and maintain a pleasant temperature under the aluminium shelter. The result is a cool, comfortable space in which to relax or share convivial moments with friends and family.
With its openwork structure, a bioclimatic made-to-measure pergola provides real thermal comfort. Unlike a shelter closed at the sides, the air can circulate freely to cool the covered area. This natural ventilation can be enhanced by opening the pergola slats slightly.

A bioclimatic terrace has thermal properties that are much appreciated in winter. Set against the wall of your house, its adjustable slats capture the sun's heat to warm your home.
So an aluminium pergola saves you energy by reducing your heating needs. It also means you can enjoy a warm and welcoming outdoor space, even in the coldest seasons.

Installing an aluminium bioclimatic pergola with slats on your terrace or garden will protect you from the vagaries of the weather all year round.
When you buy your new pergola, we advise you to check that it has the Qualicoat label and CSTB (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment) certification. The Qualicoat label certifies that the aluminium components of your patio roof have undergone a special treatment called powder coating. And CSTB certification guarantees your pergola's resistance to everyday and extreme weather conditions.

A bioclimatic terrace is generally made from high-quality aluminium. The technical characteristics of this material make it particularly suitable for outdoor use.
Aluminium will keep your bioclimatic pergola stylish and functional for many years. What's more, it's very easy to maintain and requires no special products. Simply cleaning the structure and slats with soapy water 2 or 3 times a year will restore their shine.
Aluminium is used in the construction of High Environmental Quality (HEQ) and Low Energy Buildings (BBC). Entirely recyclable, it is being used more and more by homeowners keen to have eco-designed exterior fittings.

Installed on the facade, a bioclimatic pergola creates a designer terrace with a modern look. Aluminium makes the structure both sober and elegant, enhancing every architectural style.
Aluminium comes in a wide range of colours. So you can personalise your pergola to suit your tastes. From dark tones to lighter colours, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to creating your own piece of paradise.
You can also personalise your pergola with accessories. For example, all Biossun models can be fitted with LED lighting. Another popular option is the Zipsun awning. Operated by remote control, it closes the pergola to protect you from the setting sun.
