Pergolas: The ultimate guide

Pergolas are the ideal solution for those of you who want to turn your outdoor space into a true everyday oasis. Whether it is wooden or metal or a combination of metal with wood, pergolas in Greece are an integral part of our home and give us moments that we remember forever. But what are the pergola designs and what do they serve?

Wooden pergolas give warmth to the environment in which they are located. A popular design is the Barcelona design which is a combination of wood and awnings. For wooden constructions, it is advisable to use African wood such as teak iroko, etc. To ensure not only the life of the wood but also a perfect aesthetic result without obvious calluses or imperfections in the wood. Teak wood and iroko, are very hard which does not allow fungi to penetrate inside and erode the construction. On the other hand, pine composite timber is very often used when we want to achieve long lengths without central columns. For awnings, we use the extremely durable awnings of KE. Of course, straight awnings are not suitable for rainy days or large wild breeds, so they should always be closed if they are not used. 

For those who prefer the ease of maintenance that aluminum has, a very shady pergola is the Vienna pergola, which is made entirely of an aluminum frame coated with aluminum blinds. Aluminum blinds are suitable for modern homes and offer very good shade. They have top resistance to wind pressures which makes them suitable even for terraces. Also, large dimensions are allowed while the connections are not visible. They can be combined with other materials such as sails or wood while the installation is done in a very short time ... Finally, the Vienna pergola needs no maintenance whatsoever and can be placed in coastal areas. 

There are also many designs on blinking pergolas such as the Gennius Vega. This is a new external pergola system with a linear design, characterized by innovative light inserts. The retractable roof is fixed to a system of profiles and cross-road guides, and the system allows horizontal sliding. The construction can be completely closed by reducing heat loss in winter and optimizing the effect of sunlight in summer.

Finally, there is also the possibility for opening and closing pergolas with blinds such as Kedry Skylife. The Kedry Skylife is a mobile blade roof that allows regulating both light intensity and air ventilation. In a simple, smooth motion, the blinds rotate and withdraw at the same time, providing quick and easy coordination of personal comfort at the touch of a button. Ideal for residential or commercial uses, Kedry Skylife is designed to offer superb protection from intense sun, wind and rain, thanks to its built-in and completely hidden water drainage system. The modular design allows Kedry Skylife to be installed in multiple units to create essentially an unlimited coverage area, combined with any architectural style and with minimal impact on the environment. The simplicity of operation and complete automation is achieved by using smartphone and tablet applications, allowing the user to control and determine the operation of the pergola, even from a distance.

Pergolas are the extension of our home and upgrade our space to a great extent. However, a study is needed to see the advantages and disadvantages of each construction and mainly to determine our needs.
