Patio houses are a type of dwelling built so that the different rooms are arranged around a private interior courtyard. This type of construction has been very common in the Mediterranean and some Middle Eastern countries since ancient times. However, there are different types of patios, and depending on the space, we will choose to install one pergola or another.
Anyone who has an interior patio, terrace, or garden in their home can consider themselves privileged. Wouldn’t it be unforgivable if, given the opportunity to enjoy these spaces, we didn’t install a pergola to beautify it and make the most of it?
Different types of patios:
Light well:
Its layout allows a portion of indirect sunlight to enter the building’s interior spaces—hence its name—as well as ventilation. It’s attached to the walls of the house and is ideal for a stretched pergola or a shade sail. This way, you can take advantage of the sunlight whenever you want, retracting it to let in all the sunlight, or unfolding it to protect yourself from the hottest hours.
Central courtyard:
Located, as its name suggests, in the central part of the house. Depending on the available space and the sun’s orientation, we can choose a fixed pergola gazebo, where when it rains, the water is channeled through the legs and out to the outside. Or a tensioned pergola, whose material is highly resistant to various weather conditions. Bioclimatic pergolas allow ventilation in a central space with adjustable slats, and allow the roof to be fully opened or closed if desired, or choose the degree of inclination to allow light to enter the interior.
Front or Back Patio:
Located at the back or front of the house. First, our technicians recommend examining the space, walls, and other details to determine which type of installation is best. If you have a strong, high-quality wall, you can consider a pergola attached to the wall. This option takes up less space and has two legs at the front of the patio. You can enhance your backyard with a gazebo, so you can enjoy your outdoor living space much more year-round.
Installing pergolas on interior or exterior patios will help you lower the temperature inside your home in summer and create a perfect microclimate that you can enjoy year-round. They also have significant advantages and are used to give a more modern and minimalist look to the patio where they are installed.
A lifestyle
Life in the backyard is a true gem. It’s a privilege to have this space to disconnect from the indoor environment, surrounded by plants and vegetation. Celebrate family and friends gatherings, read a good book, or take a nap. Installing a pergola in the backyard not only serves to protect us from the sun and create optimal shade for the home, but it’s also a lifestyle enjoyed by many families. It’s an outdoor space, surrounded by the rooms of the home, which often communicate directly with the central courtyard.
Smart pergolas for your patio
The best thing about installing a bioclimatic pergola ? You can control the amount of light that enters thanks to its adjustable slats. It can be fully opened or closed, and it remains airtight without letting in a drop of water if it rains. It has an intelligent sensor network that allows it to self-manage based on the temperature. It also includes Bluetooth for enjoying music or other devices, heating in winter, and glass enclosures that allow you to enjoy your terrace during the colder months.
