The Bioclimatique Retractable Louver Roof is one of the most innovative shade and shelter structures on the market due to the adjustable roof slats/louvers that can adapt to any weather condition. This product type is mostly used by restaurants, hotels, pubs, swimming pool owners, nightclubs, retail stores, and homeowners.

The unique retractable pergola canopy allows businesses and homeowners to have a flexible means to protect guests and residents from the weather or allow them to enjoy it. The addition of this structure, either free-standing or attached, instantly adds a touch of luxury to any establishment and a cozy outdoor area that can be used for a myriad of activities.

The motorized slats/louvers can be closed to protect from the hot sunlight, UV rays, glare, heat, rain, hail or even snow. Activities like outdoor dining, socializing, meetings and even the weekend barbeque can continue regardless of the weather conditions.

During pleasant weather, the slats can then be retracted or opened to let in invigorating sunshine during morning coffee or the sliver of romantic moonlight during a candlelight dinner.

For even more protection, sliding glass doors can be installed along the sides of the pergola to create an outdoor room that can be heated in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer. For businesses, such as restaurants and hotels, the extra protection attracts or motivates customers to use the outside space thereby increasing sales revenue. For homes, this can cover the structure from an ordinary patio or deck to a usable extension of the house.

For more privacy or for added protection from the sun,  optional drapes and curtains can be installed along the sides. Another option is to place retractable manual or motorized vertical drop awning screens for excellent sun, wind, rain, heat, UV and glare control.

The Bioclimatique Retractable Louver Roof is constructed with corrosion-free powder-coated 6063 aluminum frames that can be designed to fit any outdoor living area. The protection it gives from any weather condition converts any open-air space into a livable and usable area. Internal, invisible gutters and downspouts within the beams and posts are used for a clean, streamlined appearance.

The motorized louver slats can be adjusted electronically via remote control, wall switch, tablet or smartphone, and the entire louver canopy is wind load tested to over 70mph/115 km/hr to ensure stability and can be engineered to higher wind loads if required or wanted. The exceptional quality of the beams, posts, slats/louvers, and motorized elements allow for no maintenance requirements.

If you are homeowner looking to maximize the value of your property, a restaurant owner seeking to maximize your open customer spaces, a hotel owner who wants to have amenities to attract and entertain guests, or an architect or landscape architect looking for a robust solution for your project, adding a Bioclimatique Retractable Louver Roof system is a sure way to achieve these goals.
