ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
What VISTA is
VISTA is an aluminum pergola with a retractable roof, a motorized fabric cover that folds back at the press of a Somfy remote (in Europe, a retractable awning pergola). The fabric is four-layer reinforced Sioen PVC, 900 g/m² and fire resistant.
One module spans up to 12 000 by 12 000 mm. That is why VISTA ends up over pool areas, restaurant courtyards and event terraces, where a louver roof would need posts in the middle of the floor.

Freestanding
Four or more posts, on a terrace, a lawn or a roof.
Wall-mounted
Fixed to the facade on one side, posts on the other.
Suspended
Hung from the building structure where posts are in the way.
Gable and oval
Pitched or curved frames for pools and event areas.
Screens, glazing and light
The sides of a VISTA pergola close with VITO ZIP motorized zip screens, SKYLINE guillotine glazing or ORIZZONTE sliding glazing. Samsung LED lighting runs inside the beams, so the structure needs no separate lamps.
VISTA: frequently asked questions
Is the fabric roof waterproof?
Yes. The Sioen PVC cover is waterproof and the frame is pitched 6 to 8 degrees, so rain runs into the gutters and down the posts.
How strong a wind can VISTA take?
Up to 160 km/h with the roof closed.
Can VISTA be made oval or gabled?
Yes. Besides the flat version we build gable and oval frames, and frames mounted into an existing opening without posts.
VISTA or ACURA: which one?
VISTA covers larger spans with a fabric roof that folds away completely. ACURA has an aluminum louver roof that stays in place and seals shut, with modules up to 9 by 4 m.
What is the largest single module?
12 000 by 12 000 mm. Bigger areas are covered by several modules side by side.
