Bioclimatic Pergola
Forget ordinary fabric awnings. Experience a flawless "Rolling Roof" experience on your terrace with smart aluminum panels that rotate on their own axis, resisting Istanbul's snow load and lodos.
Why Bioclimatic Ceiling Instead of Fabric Awning?
We completely eliminate the risk of fabric and railed awnings tearing in the wind and collapsing in the snow with smart roof systems having a 100% extrusion aluminum body.
150 Kg/m² Snow Load Resistance
When the ceiling panels consisting of thick aluminum T5 profiles are locked in the closed position, they do not bend or collapse the system even in severe snowstorms.
Natural Ventilation (Chimney Effect)
By slightly rotating the panels on their own axis in the summer, you break the angle of the sun while allowing the sweltering hot air inside to be rapidly evacuated from above.
Hidden Water Drainage Installation
There are no ugly rain gutters hanging outside in the system. Rainwater flows from the panels to the horizontal carriers, and from there directly to the ground through the columns (pillars).
Smart Panels Rotating on Their Own Axis (Rolling Roof)
The wing-shaped aluminum panels (louvres) that form the roof of the system are controlled by remote control thanks to high-torque industrial tubular motors.
Tilt (Rotation) Movement Between 0° and 115°
You can adjust the panels according to the angle of incidence of the sun's rays at any time of the day. When completely closed, you achieve 100% water and air insulation thanks to the EPDM rubber gaskets at the overlapping points of the panels.
Integrated LED Lighting and Automation
Thanks to the Samsung chip dimmable (adjustable light intensity) LED lights specially embedded in the system carrier beams or movable panels, you create a space ready for night use without extra lighting expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bioclimatic Pergola and Rolling Roof the same thing?
Technically they are very similar systems. In both, the roof consists of aluminum panels and rotates on its own axis (Bioclimatic feature). In some models, the panels not only rotate on their own axis but also retract backward, opening the sky completely (Rolling Roof). Both mechanisms are available depending on the needs of your project.
How do I heat the inside in winter? How is the insulation?
When the system is closed, ceiling insulation is provided. When you surround it with Insulated Guillotine or Insulated Sliding Glass systems, you get a completely isolated "Room" from the outside. By connecting a radiant heater, underfloor heating, or air conditioner inside, you can make your space comfortable enough to sit in a t-shirt even in the freezing cold of winter.
How are Bioclimatic Pergola square meter (m2) prices compared to fabric awnings?
Since bioclimatic pergolas are entirely made of extrusion aluminum and strong motor components, the initial investment cost is higher than classic nylon/fabric awnings. However, when faults such as tearing, wind damage, and cloth replacement in fabric systems are calculated, Bioclimatic systems, which are permanent for life, are the most profitable solution for commercial areas (Cafes/Restaurants) and luxury villas.
