Attic Pergolas: Features and Accessories

No matter how small or large your attic is, it's an advantage to be able to enjoy a rooftop terrace and that breath of fresh air. A terrace brings the pleasure of outdoor living to all types of homes and apartments. A valuable and versatile space that can easily be transformed into an additional room, an outdoor space. But it's also not exposed to the elements, which is why we at Mk toldos want to advise you on the features and advantages of attic pergolas. There are many terrace coverings designed to take advantage of these spaces: not only awnings capable of providing perfect shade, but also cutting-edge structures such as bioclimatic pergolas that allow the terrace to be opened and closed according to weather conditions.

Features of attic pergolas

First and foremost, we need to ask ourselves a series of questions to begin defining the type of pergola we need for our attic. – What purpose do we want to give our terrace. – In what seasons do we want to enjoy it. – What types of structures can we install in the available space? Our technicians will visit your home and attic to advise you on the best installation. To do this, it's necessary to examine the space, walls, and support points. This will help you decide whether to install a bioclimatic pergola, a wall-mounted pergola with two legs, a wall-mounted pergola, and the type of fabric or PVC. As you'll see, there are many factors to consider, and carefully studying the proposal with the help of professionals is the first step before installation. The possibilities are endless, from an outdoor living room to a dining room, to inviting elevated gardens. However, to determine which terrace covers best suit each situation, it's important to evaluate the types of terraces you'll be using, and this will make it easier to choose the right structure. Finally, we mustn't forget to consider the building's architectural characteristics, such as the width and height of the terrace, along with the regulations and permits established by the municipality of residence. Once these aspects have been evaluated, it will be possible to determine the terrace cover that best meets all needs and proceed with the selection of the model.   

Accessories for the attic pergola

Aluminum covers with adjustable slats

These covers, technically known as bioclimatic pergolas, represent the perfect combination of openness and protection, natural light and shade, ventilation and temperature maintenance. Thanks to their adjustable wings, we can choose the degree of opening to allow more or less sunlight in, or close them completely and be 100% protected from the elements. Bioclimatic pergolas revolutionize penthouse terraces and, thanks to them, you can enjoy your outdoor space all year round.

PVC covers

Combined with aluminum structures, PVC terrace covers are one of the most popular options. Unlike bioclimatic pergolas with sunshade panels, PVC canvas terrace covers allow for different lighting and ventilation controls. This type of mobile cover can be rolled up to open up the view to the sky, while the canvas provides excellent protection from sun, rain, and wind.

Veranda awning for the attic pergola

If you ultimately decide on a conventional pergola, we recommend also installing a motorized Veranda Awning to help protect you from the sun and rain. This type of awning is known for its simple and practical design. It consists of an upper section where the entire awning can be retracted, and side guides that allow it to be opened or closed. It's one of the most useful awnings for pergolas and is also very useful in spaces with two side walls and where you want to cover an entire roof to insulate from the sun and moisture. It offers a wide range of fabrics to suit every type of client's needs and the specific interior design of each terrace.
