Aluminum Pergolas, Patio Covers and Glass Roofs
Vista is a unique sun protection system with an automatic roof extension mechanism
Prada is a new ceiling system for a winter garden or veranda from the company Aluminante
The Paretti Winter Garden is a universal translucent structure for glazing any premises
Sliding vaulted mansard translucent structures are designed for large-span roofs
Light and heat under control. The louvers turn on their axis, so you set how much sun comes through and how much hot air leaves. A terrace under an open louver roof stays cooler than under a solid canopy.
Rain cover when you need it. Closed, the louvers press onto seals and the roof becomes watertight. Water runs into gutters hidden inside the beams and down through the posts, not over the edge onto the guests.
Aluminum that stays put. The profile does not rot, warp or need painting every season, and the finish is a powder coating chosen from the RAL chart.
A roof that matches the building. Freestanding, wall-mounted, suspended or set into an existing opening, with modules placed side by side over a long terrace.
Features of aluminum structures
We make the systems ourselves: profile, accessories, louvers, glazing and the motors are specified in one place, so a terrace does not turn into a hunt for parts from four suppliers.
We work from drawings. Send the plan, the opening sizes or the architect's section, and you get a technical solution with spans, loads and a price for the system, not a catalog page.
We cover the whole terrace, not one product. Pergolas and glass roofs, zip screens, guillotine and sliding glazing, windows and doors come from the same range and the same profile line, which is what keeps a project in one architectural style.
We ship for export. Systems are packed in plywood crates or wooden boxes and go out by container, with production in 10 to 14 days plus about a week of coating, a month longer for 10+ houses.

Bioclimatic and louvered pergolas
A louvered pergola carries a roof of aluminum louvers that turn on their axis. Open, they let hot air out and daylight in. Closed, they seal against each other and keep the rain off the table below.
ACURA is our range of louvered pergolas, from the motorized Q25 Premium that clears 85% of the roof to static louver versions with no motor at all.
Retractable roof pergolas
VISTA replaces the louvers with a motorized fabric roof of four-layer reinforced PVC. It folds back on a Somfy drive and spans up to 12 000 by 12 000 mm in one module, so a pool deck or a courtyard is covered without a forest of posts.
Retractable and sliding glass roofs
SKYTECH is a motorized glass roof for terraces: 36 mm double-glazed panels slide open on a Becker chain drive, up to 8 000 mm of projection per module. All our glazed roofs are compared side by side on the aluminum skylights and glass roofs page.
PAVILION works at another scale. Vaulted sections glazed with glass or polycarbonate slide over each other and cover pools, atriums and sports courts up to 26 by 60 m.
Fixed glass roofs and winter gardens
PRADA is a fixed glass roof for terraces, verandas and carports, with tempered or laminated glass from 10 to 36 mm and a pitch you set between 4 and 8 degrees.
PARETTI Thermo Pro Q43 is the insulated version: a thermally broken profile with glazing from 26 to 46 mm, for winter gardens and enclosed pools that stay warm in January. The same idea on a pergola frame is ACURA Q27 Paretti.

Frequently asked questions
Which pergola roof is best if I want adjustable shade and rain protection?
A louvered pergola, such as ACURA. The louvers rotate to let air through and seal shut against rain, and the system is motorized with a Somfy motor.
When should I choose a glass roof instead of a louvered pergola?
Choose glass when light matters more than shade control. SKYTECH slides open, while PRADA, PARETTI and ACURA Q27 Paretti are fixed glass roofs. PARETTI is the insulated one, for winter gardens.
What fits a very wide terrace?
VISTA, with a fabric roof up to 12 000 × 12 000 mm per module. ACURA and PRADA modules also join side by side without a set limit.
What covers a pool or an atrium?
PAVILION. One structure reaches 26 m wide and 60 m long, in glass or polycarbonate, with manual or motorized operation.
Which pergola keeps the rain out?
Any model with a sealed roof: ACURA Q25 Premium and Q27 Twist when the louvers are closed, Q27 Statico, Q27 Paretti, and the glass roofs SKYTECH, PRADA and PARETTI. ACURA Q27 Lamella is fixed open and gives shade only.
What is the largest module you make?
PAVILION covers up to 26 by 60 m. VISTA reaches 12 000 by 12 000 mm in one module, ACURA Q25 Premium 9 000 by 4 000 mm. Larger areas are covered by several modules side by side.
Can the sides be closed as well?
Yes. Zip screens, guillotine glazing and frameless sliding glazing close the sides of a pergola, so the space works in winter too.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Systems are packed for export in plywood crates or wooden boxes and shipped by container.
