A manufacturer behind the system

We show the process. So you know who stands behind the product.

Not just a supplier. From engineering drawings to finished aluminum components, we make the parts that make the system work.

Plan your patio cover

7-stage powder coating

A finish built to last outdoors.

Every patio system is finished through a 7-stage powder coating process, with an AAMA 2604 compliant approach.

Powder coating line for Aluglobus aluminum

Prep before powder. Most coating failures start before the powder goes on, so every part is pretreated in stages first.
110 ft oven. Long-span beams and patio profiles cure in one piece in a 110 ft powder coating oven.
Adhesion and corrosion resistance. The pretreatment helps the powder bond and protects the aluminum outdoors.
Colors and woodgrain. Black, white, custom colors and woodgrain-look finishes with TIGER and Cardinal powders.

FAQ

Buyer questions about the motorized louvered pergola.

Still not sure? Call (888) 876-3006 or send us your project.

What is a louvered pergola?

A pergola with rotating aluminum blades in the roof. Open, it lets in sun and air; closed, the blades seal for shade and rain protection.

Do louvered pergolas keep the rain out?

When the louvers are closed they shed water into gutters built into the frame, and a rain sensor can close them automatically.

Can it be attached to the house or freestanding?

Both. The system can be planned freestanding or attached, depending on the structure and the site.

Aluminum vs wood pergola?

Aluminum does not rot, warp or attract termites and never needs repainting.
