Why customize your pergola?
A pergola is more than just a simple outdoor shelter. It is a full-fledged extension of your home, a living space that deserves to be thought through down to the smallest detail. Whether it is bioclimatic (with adjustable slats that naturally regulate light and ventilation) or fixed roof (with its rigid, durable roof), your pergola can be fully customized to suit your lifestyle, your home’s architecture, and your needs for privacy, thermal comfort, and aesthetics.
At Art Home Alu, we offer a full rangeof customization options to transform your pergola into a true outdoor living space. Here’s an overview of the available solutions.
Privacy Screens: Privacy and Style for Your Patio
Pergola privacy screens are one of the most sought-after options for homeowners who want to enjoy their outdoor space in privacy. Designed to blend seamlessly with the structure of your bioclimatic or fixed-roof pergola, they serve several essential purposes:
- Protecting privacy from neighbors or the street
- A natural windbreak to enhance comfort on windy days
- Visually define your outdoor living space
- Aesthetic appeal with high-quality aluminum finishes
Available in a wide range of RAL colors, they match perfectly with the color of your pergola for a cohesive and elegant look.
L'Épure: Minimalist elegance for your pergola sides
L’Épure is a side-mounted shading solution designed for fans of contemporary design. This fixed-slat panel offers a subtle balance between visual transparency and sun protection, while adding a distinctive architectural touch to your space.
The benefits of Épure:
- Sleek design: Its minimalist lines blend elegantly into any setting, whether it’s a contemporary home, a renovated Provençal farmhouse, or a modern villa.
- Modularity: The screen can cover one, two, or three sides of your pergola, depending on the level of shade you want and the layout of your patio.
- Durability: Like all Art Home Alu products, the Epure privacy screen is made of high-quality aluminum with durable finishes designed to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions.
- Universal compatibility: Compatible with both bioclimatic and fixed-roof pergolas, this sleek design can be installed alongside other accessories to fully customize your space.
Blinds: Thermal Comfort and Light Control
Pergola shades are an essential accessory for controlling sunlight and creating a pleasant microclimate under your structure. All our fabrics are M1 fire-rated, block up to 96% of UV rays, are bacteria-resistant, and help maintain indoor air quality thanks to their very low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions.
Side awnings effectively block the low-angle sun in the late afternoon or early morning, providing targeted shade depending on the orientation of your patio.
Good to know:
Wind and sun sensors can be integrated to automatically retract the awnings during adverse weather conditions, thereby significantly extending the lifespan of your equipment.
Metal panels: durability and character for your doors and windows
Metal panels offer a customization option that is sturdy, durable, and very stylish. When used as side panels, they add an industrial and contemporary touch to your outdoor space.
Why choose metal panels for your pergola?
-
Mechanical strength: Aluminum or steel sheet offers greater rigidity than other roofing materials, making it particularly suitable for areas exposed to wind.
-
Custom Graphic Design: Thanks to modern laser-cutting and perforation techniques, metal panels can be crafted with custom decorative patterns —such as botanical, geometric, or abstract designs. Your pergola becomes a one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece.
-
Minimal maintenance: Unlike wood or canvas, metal panels require no regular treatment. A simple annual cleaning is all it takes to keep them looking as good as new.
-
Exceptional durability: With the right powder-coated finish, these metal panels can withstand the elements for decades without fading or warping.
How do I combine the customization options?
The true value of an Art Home Alu pergola lies in its ability to intelligently combine these different options to create a space perfectly suited to your needs and surroundings. Please note, however, that certain combinations of options are not compatible with all models. It is therefore essential to clearly define your requirements in advance so you can choose the pergola that best fits your project.
Here are a few examples of popular configurations:
| Configuration | Combined options | Ideal use |
|---|---|---|
| Enclosed outdoor lounge | Privacy Screens + Blinds + Glass Curtains | Sunny terrace, close to neighbors |
| Lighted pergola | Sky + LED Spot + Blind | Natural light and ambiance day and night |
| 4 Seasons Wellness Center | Glass curtains + Heating + LED strip | Winter comfort, spa, or relaxation |
| Smart pergola | Home Automation + Motorized Blinds + LED Lighting + Heating | Full control from your smartphone |
