Aluminum or wooden pergola? With or without an awn

Aluminum or wooden pergola? With or without an awning? What should I choose?

The type of pergola we choose in space is inextricably linked to the style of the whole house as well as to our daily needs. The fact is that each site requires its own solution and we are here to help you.

Aluminum pergolas

The aluminum pergola is very suitable not only in modern but also in the most traditional houses. It has the advantage that it is very resistant to weather conditions and can remain unchanged over time for many years. In addition, the aluminum pergola can even mimic the warmth of wood as there is now the right style for it.

Sun and rain protection. Cloth or aluminum?

The designs we have on aluminum pergolas are many and are mainly divided into two categories. To those who use cloth and to those who use aluminum for protection from the sun and rain.

Sails play an important role in choosing the design. Their great advantage is that they create a very light feeling at night as they gather in a box and leave the space free. On the contrary, the aluminum blinds, with the exception of the new design of the Skylife KE, for the most part, remain visible at night and give a more permanent feeling to the construction.

So if you want a lighter feeling in your construction, prefer to combine your aluminum frame with sails. In terms of color, prefer the darker and not the completely white if you do not like the reflection of the sun. In addition, slightly darker cloths are more resistant to dust, so they need to be cleaned less often.

Wooden Pergolas

On the contrary, the wooden pergolas offer a unique warmth to the surrounding area. They are combined with many materials such as reed and cloth and give a very special result in your space. It is in the imagination of every architect to create the space he wants and to take it off by delimiting it and giving it many options.

However, as wood is a natural organism, no matter how much it has undergone the appropriate treatment, it remains a given that will need maintenance and even systematic. The type of maintenance and its repetition depends on the type of wood used and the conditions in which your construction is. Indicatively we could say that on average wooden pergolas need maintenance every five years.
