When the sun is shining brightly, a good Sunscreen is essential to enjoy your patio. But which option do you choose: an articulated screen or a pergola Sunscreen? Both have their advantages, but if you're going for luxury, style and comfort, the pergola Sunscreen isthe winner. Why? In this blog, we list the differences for you!
Articulated awning: practical, but with limitations
An articulated awning is a common solution and can work great for smaller patios or balconies. But how luxurious is it really?
Advantages:
- The articulated screen has sturdy arms that require no support on the ground, keeping your patio free of uprights.
- When not in use, you slide the articulated awning in, making it look compact and sleek.
Disadvantages:
- It is not possible to mount an articulated awning on every facade because of the weight and bearing capacity required.
- The dimensions of an articulated awning have certain limitations, depending on the model and construction.
- An articulated screen is not very resistant to wind. In a strong breeze, you have to retract it, which is not convenient when you want to sit outside.
Why a pergola Sunscreen is a better choice
A pergola Sunscreen goes one step further. It is not only a solution for shade, but also a real addition to your garden. Luxury, style and convenience come together in one system.
Advantages:
- With sturdy construction, a pergola provides effective shelter from sun, wind and rain, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space all year round.
- With its stylish and sleek design, the pergola Sunscreen fits into almost any garden setting.
- The pergola Sunscreen rests on sturdy uprights, so its weight is not entirely suspended from the facade. This allows installation on virtually any facade, regardless of the load-bearing capacity of the wall.
Are there any drawbacks?
The only drawback is the higher price compared to an awning. But fair is fair: you get so much more in return.
Why choose a pergola Sunscreen?
An articulated screen may be fine for a practical solution, but if you really want to enjoy your patio longer, a pergola Sunscreen is simply the better choice. It not only provides extra comfort, but also gives your garden a stylish, luxurious look.
Imagine a summer evening under your pergola, with atmospheric lighting and the perfect shade. Now that is truly enjoying the outdoors.
