Bioclimatic Technology For All Settings

At RetractableAwnings.com we bring commercial, institutional, and governmental properties to life with our bioclimatic rotating louver roof. They bring customer-preferred style and function to your property with state-of-the-art European engineering.

When business owners want to easily switch between basking in the sunshine and relaxing in the shade, rain, hail or snow, our rotating louver roof system is a perfect choice. RetractableAwnings.com’s waterproof pergolas with rotating louvered roofs employ a system that increases natural airflow (ventilation) and is 100% waterproof (not water-resistant). All designs have been load tested to resist heavy snowfall and wind tested up to hurricane strength.

Safety And Comfort

The rotating louver roof effectively expands the available eating and entertainment  space in a property, offering versatile comfort for any business property owner or renter. The system operates on a “flap” system similar to Venetian blinds that can be rotated up to 110 degrees using a center pivot and a proprietary invisible motorization system.

The rotating louvers help to control sunlight and shade at any time of the day. When it rains or you need some shade, this style of pergola with a louvered roof can be closed flat, and the built-in invisible gutter system will drain the rain. See the videos on our YouTube channel near the bottom of this page to see the rotating louvers and drainage in action.

Ideal For Hotels, Restaurants, And More

These beautiful and adaptable units are perfect for outdoor living and dining areas in commercial, municipal, governmental, and institutional properties alike. The rotating louvered roof system beautifully accommodates hot tubs, swimming pools, lounging areas, pergolas, patios, decks, and much more.

For those owning or managing a restaurant, hotel, nightclub, beer garden, or pub, a pergola with a waterproof louvered roof system can provide comfort and coverage 24/7/365.

Event coordinators can also use the rotating louvered roof system during weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, corporate events, baby showers, and more.

Tough-Weather Tested

There are many benefits to implementing our rotating louver roof on a commercial property. They have been engineered to meet Miami-Dade County, Florida requirements, meaning they can handle hurricane-force winds. They are also approved to handle an engineered snow load and can be adjusted to control and minimize potential large accumulations of ice and snow.

This type of pergola with a louver roof can protect users from the strongest sun when deployed for shade. It can reduce or block glare and harmful UV rays. And it can open just as easily, so users can enjoy a starry sky or gaze at the clouds. Daily comfort is a clear benefit of the bioclimatic rotating louver roof from RetractableAwnings.com.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between all of the retractable patio cover and deck pergola system models you offer? 

  • Most models vary in appearance regarding placement of the front beam and the number of guides from front to back – either one or two.

  • All models are water PROOF except for the Perugia, Naples and Milan models. These 3 models are for sun protection and not rain protection.

  • Models vary in terms of the maximum projection available

Click here for complete side by side details.

Where is the motor located and does it add any additional width to the retractable patio and deck pergola cover system? All

  • The motor on roman fold models that are motorized is always in the rear of the unit and usually located in the middle of the unit on a 3 span unit and on either the left or right side on a 2 span unit. On the Bioclimatique rotating louver roof model, the motor/actuator is either on the left or right side of the frame. For the Naples and Milan models, the motors are located inside posts and are not visible. The Perugia model cannot be motorized at the present time.

Which retractable patio deck pergola cover system model is right for me? 

  • That depends on what type of weather you plan to have the product extended or partially extended in, where you would like to install the retractable patio deck pergola cover system, amount of wind you need the unit to handle when extended or partially extended, the size you need or want (the area you want to cover), whether you want it for sun protection only or sun and heavy rain or sun, heavy rain, hail and snow and of course your budget.

Can I leave my retractable patio deck pergola cover system open in the wind and if so, how much wind?

  • All of our retractable patio deck pergola cover system models are Beaufort wind load approved in the fully extended position from Beaufort 6 (25-30mph/39-49km/hr) to Beaufort 12 (73mph+/118km/hr). Beaufort wind load number between 6 and 12 varies based on model and size (Perugia, Naples and Milan models excluded and are not Beaufort wind load approved). 

Can I use or leave my retractable patio deck pergola cover system extended during the rain or during the snow season?  

  • All retractable patio deck pergola cover systems from Retractableawnings.com can be used for and are designed for HEAVY rain, even hail (Perugia, Milan and Naples models excluded). HEAVY rainfall is considered more than 0.30” (7.6mm) per hour per the American Meteorological Society. The only model that is designed for heavy rain, hail, hurricanes and snow load is our Bioclimatique louver roof system.

Can I install your retractable patio deck pergola cover system on vinyl or aluminum siding, stucco, or on masonry (common materials used for masonry are brick, concrete block, granite, glass block, marble, travertine, cast stone, limestone, and cob) or a mobile home?

  • All models offered by Retractableawnings.com can be installed into any of the above. What is most important, is to use the correct type and size of fastener depending on what substrate the retractable patio deck pergola cover system is being installed in to. Retractableawnings.com provides everything needed for the product except for the fasteners. The decision on fastener type and length used is to be made locally based on the substrate being installed in to along with weather conditions and any building code requirements (if any).

Can I mount your retractable patio deck pergola cover system to my wall OR soffit / eave / overhang OR roof OR side of the rafter OR to a beam? 

  • Models offered by Retractableawnings.com can be attached to one or more of the following: wall, wall to wall, post to post, soffit / eave / overhang, roof, inside a pergola and side of the rafter or beam.
