It’s an undeniably charming asset. On a terrace or balcony, in the heart of your garden or leaning against the facade of your house, the pergola offers you a space for well-being<\/b> and rest, or for sharing<\/b> with friends. Do you dream of being able to enjoy them from spring through to autumn? Here are our tips for prolonging the use of your terrace<\/b> all year round.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bioclimatic<\/a> means that the roof has adjustable slats<\/strong> to let in light, or not, according to your mood. This structure is highly appreciated in very hot locations, as it helps regulate temperature and light levels. The bioclimatic pergola offers real aesthetic and practical added value to your exterior.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/en\/pergola\/” button_text=”Discover our enclosed projects” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n To open or close either side of your pergola<\/a>, and shape it according to the direction of the wind, you have several choices:<\/p>\n Let’s take a closer look at each option:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sliding bay windows with a classic or bioclimatic pergola provide protection and increase the brightness of the space. The glass partition offers optimum<\/strong> protection<\/strong> against rain and wind<\/strong>. The advantage of glass is that it’s a solid, reliable <\/strong> material: its thickness means it can withstand outdoor conditions, including the force of the wind on a terrace or balcony.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sliding glass can be integrated into almost any style of structure. Contemporary in design, they are ideal for complementing <\/strong> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”19346,26983,17419″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ max_width=”80%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”30px|30px|30px|30px” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Closing your pergola doesn’t mean you want to be confined to a dark room. And if light<\/strong> is important to you, sliding glass doors<\/a> are ideal, letting in the light and preserving your view of<\/strong> the garden.<\/p>\n Finally, when windows are closed, they create heat through the greenhouse effect<\/strong>. It’s ideal if it’s cool outside, like autumn, but sunny at the same time. In this way, you can turn your pergola into a small, warm room, like a winter garden or a cool veranda.<\/p>\n If, on the other hand, you want to protect yourself from the sun, you can often integrate a blind or curtain into a bay window. [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/fr\/pergolas\/baie-vitree-coulissante\/” button_text=”Browse our bay windows for pergolas” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n You can also enclose your pergola with a waterproof, UV-resistant tarpaulin<\/strong>. This is a canvas generally made from PVC, which you roll up or unroll according to your wishes and the weather conditions.<\/p>\n To avoid obstructing light penetration into the pergola too much, opt instead for a canopy<\/strong>, i.e. one that is transparent either over its entire surface, or in places.<\/p>\n This is a good solution if you have a limited budget<\/strong>. Tarpaulin is, however, a less resistant<\/strong> alternative to glass panels. So while it’s economical to buy, pay attention to its quality so as not to lose out on this point in the long term.<\/p>\n Like a tarpaulin, awnings are a flexible fabric<\/strong> that covers the sides of your pergola. They usually roll up and unroll easily too. Once again, make sure they are strong enough for maximum durability.<\/p>\n Be careful: once closed, blinds can obstruct your view of the garden, reducing the amount of light<\/strong> you get. Nevertheless, if the sun is intense, they provide good protection. Finally, note that in the event of snow, rain or wind, they may prove less effective<\/strong> than glass partitions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/en\/pergola\/” button_text=”Discover our pergola models ” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Unlike a veranda, a pergola<\/a> is an evolving product. You can decide at any time to add one or more closures, such as canvas<\/strong>, blinds, or even a sliding bay window<\/strong> if you want a longer-lasting result.<\/p>\n A veranda<\/strong> is a complete structure with several walls, always attached to a house or other structure.<\/p>\n Choosing the right In our regions, however, it can be useful to provide protection against the vagaries of the climate<\/strong>. The cool evening breeze, the occasional shower, the sudden drop in temperature as summer draws to a close… These are all commonplace in Belgium. But there’s no reason why this should stop you enjoying your outdoor haven!<\/p>\n This is a good reason to consider Add an enclosure option to your pergola if you wish to use it as a private resting or entertaining area. Adding a curtain or roller blinds will create a feeling of privacy in your pergola.<\/p>\n And if, like many of us, you’ve fitted out your terrace with garden furniture<\/strong>, you’ll want to protect it from rain, dust and the elements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Whether your pergola is made of aluminum, wood, wrought iron or PVC, closing it means you don’t have to move or cover your garden furniture and fittings depending on the season.<\/p>\n By enclosing your pergola, you prevent draughts from entering the space. <\/strong>Closing the sides of your pergola can also help block the sun’s rays and UV rays, helping to regulate temperature and light levels and thus improve the shelter’s thermal comfort.<\/p>\n Modern pergolas blend harmoniously with the architecture of the house and garden. VERANDAIR pergolas<\/a> can be customized to suit your lifestyle and garden.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7173.jpg” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/fr\/pergolas\/baie-vitree-coulissante\/” button_text=”Browse our bay windows for pergolas” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=”Texte” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Here are some criteria to consider when closing your pergola<\/a>.<\/p>\n It makes sense, but it’s worth repeating: first of all, you have to look at the relationship between the quality and price of the closure solution. It all depends on the purchase budget<\/strong>, of course, but also on the product’s lifespan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n At VERANDAIR, we offer excellent value for money for our sliding panels. We manufacture our walls with a fine aluminum structure<\/strong>, an ultra-stable<\/strong> and modern material that ensures they won’t move over the years. This is all the more important if your pergola is located outdoors, generally on a terrace, balcony or garden.<\/p>\n Next, it goes without saying that you need to measure the space to be closed<\/strong> precisely to ensure that the result is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also effective. Our specialists will customize<\/strong> your project according to your wishes and the pergola you have.<\/p>\n What’s more, some materials integrate less well than others with certain structures. Depending on whether your pergola is made of wood, aluminum or wrought iron<\/strong>, you may prefer one or other closure solution.<\/p>\n Make sure you choose the<\/strong> right color<\/strong> for your tarpaulin or awnings, for a modern look. As for bay<\/a> windows, their advantage is that they blend harmoniously with many styles, since they are totally transparent<\/strong>. What’s more, its aluminum profiles can be stained in the color of your choice: a standard shade, or to match your home’s frames or interior design.<\/p>\n If it’s bioclimatic<\/strong>, opt for a translucent closure<\/strong> to take advantage of outside light. Coupled with an adjustable-slat roof, an opaque tarpaulin makes for a very dark environment. Especially the inside of your house, if the pergola is attached to it.<\/p>\n Conversely, a system with a translucent polycarbonate roof<\/strong> can benefit from any type of closure<\/strong>, as the roof will let light through.<\/p>\n In short, closing your pergola allows you to<\/strong>use your terrace earlier and later in the year<\/strong>. When it comes to choosing an enclosure solution, everything depends on the type of pergola (bioclimatic or fixed-roof), your budget<\/strong> and your tastes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Don’t hesitate to ask a specialist pergola manufacturer<\/a> for advice. At VERANDAIR<\/strong>, we also design sliding doors in<\/a> tempered, laminated or sandblasted glass<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/en\/pergola\/” button_text=”Discover our pergola models” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”||off” module_id=”contactrow_mob” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#009f9c” custom_margin=”|||” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” padding_top_bottom_link_2=”false” padding_left_right_link_1=”true” padding_left_right_link_2=”true” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ffffff” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|20px||20px” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/brochure-ABTR.png” url=”https:\/\/info.verandair.com\/brochure-pergola\/” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px|” custom_padding=”|0px||” custom_css_main_element=”max-width:280px;” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”30px|30px|0px|30px” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ text_font_size=”30px” header_3_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”||20px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ text_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||20px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Download our brochure to find out more about our pergola models, and lots of advice on how to choose the right one!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/info.verandair.com\/brochure-pergola\/” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”"Download my brochure” button_alignment=”center” module_class=”custom-btn-orange” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ custom_margin=”||0px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.19.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n3 solutions for closing a pergola<\/h2>\n
