Louvered (roof) pergola

Custom louvered pergola

Among other things, your exact pergola experience depends on the type of roof you go for. A louvered roof pergola consists of motorised aluminium louvres that you can open or close as you wish. This allows you to draw in the maximum amount of sunlight or create shade. On top of that, when the louvres are closed, you are perfectly protected from the rain. Enough reasons to consider a louvered pergola!

Why choose a canopy with a bladed roof?

A pergola with louvres gives you complete control of the amount of light you let in through the roof. And that is before we mention the sleek design and assorted styles we offer. What your louvered roof looks like and how you use it is entirely up to you.

You control the light

As the name suggests, a bladed roof is made up of blades, which can be tilted to increase or decrease the amount of light coming in. Our patio covers’ bladed roofs can be tilted up to 150 degrees, giving you the option of basking in the sun’s warmth, enjoying a sliver of sunlight, or relaxing in cool shade. The blades on a Camargue Skye or Aero Skye can even be fully opened. And tilting the blades in the right direction will make hot air rise while you keep enjoying the shade.

Rain is no longer an issue

A patio cover is not just there to create shade, of course. In our climate, you need one just as often to stay dry. And a bladed roof is perfect for this. Our patio covers with bladed roofs are equipped with rain sensors, so the blades automatically close when the heavens open. The rainwater drains to the columns through channels on the roof.

Soothing design

The linear design of a bladed roof is the perfect match for a modern design home, but also fits well in a rural setting. The Renson Algarve^®, for example, beautifully complements a house in a pastoral style.

What is a louvered roof?

A louvered roof is a series of connected and motorised aluminium louvres that can be rotated up to a 150° angle. Changing the position of the louvres allows you to control the amount of light that comes in to your pergola. In other words, you have the ultimate level of control over the indoor climate of your outdoor space.

Endless combinations with our side elements

Transparent glass, warm wood or homely curtains: with our wide range of side elements, you can quickly and easily add style and functionality to your pergola. Fixed panels, sliding walls or louvres? Go for a uniform overall appearance or mix and max as you wish with:

fixed louvres with a heating element

fixed non-rotating louvre

glass louvres

LED lighting integrated into the inside of the column

LED lighting in the roof louvres

LED lighting in the roof frame

sensors

remote control

surface-mounted power socket

Extra accessories for your outdoor experience

Pleasant temperatures, your favourite music in the background and LED lighting to set just the right mood. These are just a few of the possibilities for your freestanding pergola. Simply add the right accessories to help realise your plans for your new outdoor space. The vast range of available options includes:

The benefits of a louvered pergola

The flexible nature of this type of roof for your pergola is undoubtedly the biggest benefit a louvered pergola offers. You decide how much sun and wind enters your pergola in an effortless way. But there is more too:

Continue to enjoy the pleasant warmth of the day in the evenings. By rotating the louvres in the right direction, you can trap the warm air underneath your pergola for extended periods of time. Prefer to cool down quickly, just like the outdoor air? Either way, it takes no time at all.
No surprises when your louvres are open, and it suddenly starts to drizzle. The integrated rain sensors slide your louvered roof to its closed position when they detect rain.

Are there any downsides to a louvered pergola?

With the louvres fully open, you can draw in the maximum amount of sunlight. That said, each individual louvre will cast a small strip of shadow. If you have a retractable roof, this is no longer an issue: simply fully retract your roof to enjoy that glorious sunshine to the full.

Extra comfort with electrically controlled louvres

Suddenly too hot while enjoying a drink in fine company? Creating extra shadow instantly boosts the atmosphere. Having to manually rotate all those louvres to the right position, on the other hand, is a genuine mood killer. Luckily, the electrical controls are right at hand with the Renson Connect app. In just a matter of seconds, you have the indoor climate just right. Cheers!

How to maintain a louvered pergola

To prevent dirt from accumulating in between the louvres and to keep making sure your roof closes properly, you will need to clean your pergola on a regular basis. Simply move the louvres to their fully open position, remove any twigs and leaves and clean them with water and a mild soap. The Renson Maintenance Set enables you to apply a protective coating that keeps your aluminium louvres in top condition for many years to come.

A custom louvered pergola

Want to experience the benefits of a louvered pergola for yourself day after day? Renson offers several pergola models with aluminium louvres. Whether you are opting for a freestanding pergola or for a lean-to pergola adjoining your home: a louvered roof will always prove to be an excellent choice.
