MANUFACTURERS
High Quality
The phrase ‘high quality’ is very over used in most sales environments, but the simple fact is when you are installing large aluminium structures to be permanently outside in all weather, then the quality, strength and suitability is very important. We only offer established and tested systems from established manufacturers, mainly from Germany, Holland and Italy. Manufacturers who have spent years developing and perfecting their outdoor weather protection systems for both sunshine, but more importantly also for rain and wind too.
Many pergola systems exist purely for sun shade and are coming in from sunnier countries, but they are not much use in the UK and will have to properly brace for the worst weather in the autumn and winter months, not generally with components capable of dealing with the intense air moisture content of the British Isles most of the year round.
Bespoke in Every Way
Stay outdoors for longer and into the evenings with the instant heat and efficiency of infrared halogen heating systems controlled from your remote handset or smartphone app. Adjustable power output and optional positioning.
Low voltage, high powered, LED spotlights or LED Lines making the use of our Glass Verandas as a permanent and comfortable extension to the living space of your home. The range of LED lighting is now truly amazing with roof bar mounting as well as support post and back wall mounting options to truly create the perfect atmosphere, again all controlled from your remote handset or optional smartphone app.
You truly are mixing the outdoors with the indoors to give yourself a beautiful area to spend time with friends and family or just relaxing by yourself.
Ideal for all types of entertaining or relaxing, guests can venture out onto your patio even on a rainy summer evening and remain warm.
During the day if the sun becomes too strong, open out the built in retractable roof awning to control the amount of sunlight entering and control the temperature too, as well as opening the sides and the front for ventilation, something very difficult to do with the average conservatory.
OPTIMISE WEATHER PROTECTION
All our commercial louvre roof pergola structures can be either fitted at the time of installation, or at a later date, with a whole range of optional fixed, removable or retractable side infills to offer further protection from wind and rain as well as extra privacy.
✓Electric or manual vertical fabric blinds with solid or partial vision fabric options
✓Frameless sliding glass door systems
✓Solid aluminium walling for blocking one or more sides permanently Properly specified you can create a perfect ‘outdoor room’ to add so many more weeks of the year, where being outside is the preferred option. Once you stop and control the cooling effects of the wind and also control rainfall protection, there are at least 3-4 more months in an average year available, as well as all those hot sunny days where it decides to start drizzling too.
Warmer strong winds of course can be equally as disruptive for outside drinking and eating.
WALL MOUNT OR SELF SUPPORTING
Most louvre pergola roof systems can be either wall mounted for seamless integration to any existing building, or they are free standing to be away from the building, or perhaps where there are insufficient fixing points or irregular wall heights to work with.
Our newest flat roof veranda system is very popular as it fits the design of so many more modern homes and also doesn’t require the height at the wall mounting point that sloping lean to systems required.
THE BEST TECHNOLOGY AND PERFORMANCE
The UK market now seems flooded with so many louvre pergola systems, all claiming to be the best, but how many are suitable for commercial use and offer large enough sizes to be relevant to any commercial business? The answer is ‘very few’…
We have carefully chosen the best manufacturers to work with after many years of experience now. Manufacturers who offer systems which can be taylor made to suit the shape, size and performance required for a busy hotel, restaurant, bar or in fact any hospitality environment.
Strong and reliable in technical performance and safe in all situations.
Safety is paramount along with the best rainwater drainage, strength and quality of additional side elements, designed to be used to control the wind and rain coming in from one or more sides. The ability to cope with heavy rainfall is essential with cloud bursts more common in the UK these days. The rain guttering channels built inside the framework around the perimeter will vary in size from one system to another and commercially need to be as large as possible.
A major consideration is the rotation of the aluminium louvre blades and their ability to rotate more than 90 degrees. Many budget systems only open to a vertical position, where for true bioclimatic climate control you need the blades to turn way past 90 degrees to offer air flow from the other direction in or out of the pergola, as well as follow the sunlight during the day.
The speed and noise made during the operation of the blades is also a consideration for many.
PERGOLA SYSTEMS FOR COMMERCIAL USE
Samson Awnings offer you a choice of various commercial louvre pergola roof systems for your business and outdoor spaces. We offer bespoke systems with fully rotating, but static positioned blades, or fully retractable louvre blade roof options, exposing up to 80% of the roof as open space when retracted fully. A cabriolet roof for the warmer, drier, but windier days, or partial exposure to please the customers who just love the sun, while shading the other half.
We know from years of experience, people either love the sunshine full on, or nearly always want to be protected and shaded from it.
Other pergola systems which have been very popular for many years include retractable fabric roof systems, either fitted as sloping wall mounted models, or as flat roof structures with a curved fabric retractable roof. Fabric pergola systems offer a different fell altogether underneath, particularly if you use one of the modern triple layered fabrics, which let natural light through, but are also 100% waterproof..
What are the actual differences for commercial pergolas?
OUTDOOR PERGOLA ROOMS
You may see the term ‘outdoor room’ a lot in your research. In the outdoor living world it is simply a fully weather protected and enclosed structure offering sun, wind and rain protection.
They will always have some limitations and these need to be fully understood as they are not usually insulated rooms in the true sense, but will provide excellent and far better climate control for most of the year round over other solutions.
All our commercial pergola systems have the ability to add additional weather protection products to the open sides, either to partially or fully enclose with the same products or a mixture. Maybe sliding glass doors to 2 sides and solid panelling to another side which isn’t used? Electric vertical fabric blinds to the South or West side, to protect from the lower sun or prevailing winds? And so on..
Modern technology has brought us state of the art LED lighting, along with infra red halogen heating too. The lighting and heating properly incorporated into a louvre pergola structure will provide an even better night time facility for your business.
Low running costs and instant light and instant heat all at the touch of a button…
Create the perfect outdoor space, creating extra space, but also desirable space, maybe even with a theme or pre booking required? We have seen some excellent outdoor dining and drinking spaces created from nothing and also very quickly too.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do Louvered Pergolas keep out the rain?
They can do, but none will be guaranteed 100% waterproof, even if a company says it is..
A louvre bladed aluminium pergola roof system consists of multiple individual blades, manufactured to different sizes and shapes, depending on the brand and model.
The quality and alignment of these blades will determine how waterproof the system is, but none are fully waterproof as you will get tiny gaps or seals not quite sealing and this will all depend on the overall integrity and quality of the pergola.
For a commercial pergola the highest levels of rain protection are offered with larger, high quality blades and larger profiles for the framework to ensure better stability overall.
Commercial pergolas are mainly manufactured to order so the size, shape and specification is built to suit, unlike standard DIY systems for domestic use, in standard sizes off the shelf and mass produced.
Is a Louvered Pergola the Best for All Year Round Weather Protection?
For many commercial customers the bioclimatic pergola offers a great sun shading product for the hotter days and properly specified also very good for rain protection.
With LED lights built in they can also work very well in the evenings. With other side elements added they can be great for most of the year round with protection from the wind as well.
Like most outdoor pergolas or verandas they are not insulated in any way, but generally speaking it is reckoned they will add an extra 4 months to your outdoor area use.
This is a couple of extra months in the spring and then another 2 months in the autumn time. In deepest winter and when it is damp, cold and dark they won’t be a pleasant place to sit inside, but they are meant to be for enjoying the outdoor ambience whilst protected from the elements.
How long do Louvered Pergola last?
Most high grade commercial louvered pergolas can last for 15 – 25 years with regular maintenance and servicing as there are many moving parts and an electric motor drive.
The installation is key for a totally stable and level framework system and then the quality of the profiles and blades is the next big factor, along with paint quality too.
So many DIY and very basic pergola systems are readily available, but they are mass produced and sold in standard sizes only with minimal specification on the profiles and blades offering a decent solution for sun shading and smaller areas but not built to stand up to our aggressive British climate for a long time.
Any louvre pergola installed near to the coastline will have a shorter life span just because of the aggressive saline environment and the effects on the components.
