The advantages of the aluminum pergola
Unlike structures built of wood or wrought iron, the aluminum pergola offers a excellent strength/weight ratio. It is in fact an installation that can be both light and solid, which means that it is easy to install while guaranteeing high resistance to bad weather but also to rust and time. This is a real difference compared to wooden, PVC or wrought iron pergolas.
Another significant point: aluminum is easy to maintain. Simply use soapy water to make your pergola look like new. This is a new distinction compared to wooden or steel structures which require more restrictive maintenance as well as specific treatment. Spending as little time as possible maintaining your pergola allows you to enjoy it for longer.
Finally, the aluminum used in the design of pergolas is fully recyclable which indicates that it is an environmentally friendly installation. Especially since an aluminum pergola is a profitable investment since its lifespan is estimated at over 30 years old. As it is both recyclable and durable, aluminum is the material that offers the best quality/price ratio.
The custom aluminum pergola: high-end installation
The aluminum pergola is undoubtedly the one that offers the most aesthetic choices, especially if it is made to measure. As it offers many customization options, the aluminum pergola can be available in multiple shapes, colors, sizes and finishes.
Thanks to the solidity of its structure, the roof of the aluminum pergola can be made of canvas, glass, polycarbonate, cane, wood or even tiles. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages and will impact the style of the installation. Please note, however, that a canvas roof will have to be dismantled and stored for the winter.
It is also possible to customize blinds and add options when it comes to a custom pergola. This equipment is designed to be a shaded space located outside the house which can be used for moments of rest or conviviality. With the custom pergola, it is possible to choose the slats and define their orientation in order to control the sunshine and shade.
Other elements can be added to a custom-designed aluminum pergola, including sliding bay windows to go from a closed space to an open place in a few seconds or glass side walls to enjoy your pergola while being sheltered from the wind. For aesthetic reasons but also for comfort, it is possible to install a heating system and LEDs to enjoy its aluminum pergola all year round.
Without forgetting that aluminum fits perfectly into all environments and styles. An aluminum pergola can therefore be installed in the garden of a modern or old house. Its refined side is trendy and extremely attractive. The most difficult thing may be choosing the color because between a classic color like white or gray or a more original color like red or blue the result will not be the same. However, a timeless color is less boring than an original color.
Initially the pergola was designed to accommodate climbing plants but today it is seen as a part of the house. It can be decorated with flowers and plants and enhanced to be pleasant in summer. Given its multiple advantages, the aluminum pergola remains an excellent choice for enjoying the outdoors.
