VELARIUM LUX

VELARIUM LUX is the flagship of our range. This pergola is equipped with a complex motorised system driven by three motors: two for the precise rotation of the louvres and a dedicated Somfy tubular motor for retracting them. The pergola can therefore be opened completely to the open sky, or closed entirely for protection against the elements.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ VELARIUM LUX

Do I need planning permission for Velarium Lux?

In most jurisdictions bioclimatic pergolas count as temporary structures and do not require full planning permission, only a siting approval. Local rules vary considerably from one municipality to another, so we recommend checking your local urban planning regulations.

How resistant is the pergola to wind and snow?

The extruded Bio-Frame 6063 aluminium structure is engineered to withstand wind speeds of up to 120 km/h and snow loads of up to 200 kg/m², depending on the exact dimensions of the project.

Can the pergola be enclosed later with glass or zip screens?

Yes, absolutely. VELARIUM LUX is fully compatible with our glass enclosure systems (Slide Pro, Lift) and with ZIP shading systems, which can be added at any time.

How does drainage work in the rain?

Water is collected by the perimeter gutters concealed in the upper structure and discharged invisibly through the inside of the supporting posts, directly at the base of the pergola, keeping the look clean and the terrace dry.
