Wall-mounted bioclimatic pergola. Balanced comfort between in and out
There is a fine and increasingly blurred line between indoors and outdoors, and there are spaces able to let it completely dissolve, thus creating a natural meeting point between indoor comfort and the pleasure of open-air living.
We are talking about wall-mounted bioclimatic pergolas: advanced outdoor shading systems that perfectly blend into the building architecture, thus effectively extending the surface. A concept that enhances outdoor spaces and makes them enjoyable even beyond the summer season, providing utmost versatility in both residential and Horeca settings.
1. What is a bioclimatic pergola?
Bioclimatic pergolas represent the most complete solar shading system as they allow for both protection and roof opening in a customised way, therefore ensuring a superior climatic comfort and above all completely natural. What sets bioclimatic pergola apart from all other outdoor structures is its roofing with aluminium sunshade blades. These allow for different types of automated operation: indeed, they can be either adjustable or retractable until they compact in a small place or can overlap one over the other. Whatever the preferred model, light intake and air ventilation can be adjusted by means of their sliding, thus ensuring an always ideal temperature. For a further improved shading function, it is also possible to equip bioclimatic pergolas with vertical awnings and perimeter glass walls. The latter are perfectly suitable for protecting the room beneath from wind, noise and cooler temperatures to enjoy the outdoor area as much as possible throughout the year. Indeed, the most cutting-edge versions feature home automation systems as well as weather sensors, dimmable LED and RGB lighting, power sockets and USB, furnishings such as ornamental drapes and customised modular systems giving the bioclimatic pergola the comfort and the allure typical of the most well-tended and refined living spaces.

2. Wall-mounted pergolas: when and why to choose them
Should you wish to naturally and stylishly extend the building outwards, wall-mounted pergolas are undoubtedly the best option from functional, structural and aesthetical view.
Their installation consists in the anchoring of the frame on the outer wall, thus giving life to a volume perfectly integrated into the architectural background. The advantages? They are manifold.
- Architectural coherence: thanks to a tailored design, the wall-mounted bioclimatic pergola becomes an authentic building extension, enhancing building’s silhouette and materials with a lightweight yet robust structure.
- Space and volume optimisation: the absence of posts on the wall side and the modularity of such kind of shading systems makes them versatile for any outdoor setting: not only in gardens, but also on large balconies, terraces and rooftops.
- Ease of use: wall-mounted bioclimatic pergolas are directly communicating with the building, thus easing the passage between the two spaces – a hallmark particularly appreciated by restaurants, bars and hotels. Moreover, when completed with panorama glazing, they give life to cosy winter gardens or modular verandas, comfortable all year round.
- Smart comfort: the roofing activates according to weather conditions thanks to built-in weather sensor, whereas blades and awnings naturally adjust temperature, lowering the use of air conditioning. A technology helping to improve climatic comfort even indoors when the pergola serves as a shielding for windows and glazed walls.
- Increased building’s value: wall-mounted pergolas increase space usability whilst increasing the value of the property.
Nevertheless, before starting to build your own dehors, it is also crucial to check with the municipality whether any permit for the installation of wall-mounted bioclimatic pergolas is required, especially in presence of perimeter glazing or fixed structures. Local regulations may vary according to the urban context and the type of intervention envisaged, so it is essential to refer to companies and expert retailers, such as Pratic dealers, who are able to provide designers and customers with careful and targeted advice.

Pratic wall-mounted bioclimatic pergolas are an architectural solution offering much more than the simple function of solar shading, thus creating new open-air living possibilities through an innovative and complete range of models.
3.1 Carrera
Carrera is the first bioclimatic pergola with alternate blades, fixed and movable, which lift up and overlap, following the movement of the sun. A system allowing to obtain superior shade, ventilation and brightness, with a visual three-dimensional effect enhancing the dehors architecture.
The wall-mounted installation of the pergola creates continuity between indoors and outdoors, giving the chance to juxtapose more modules of 5 x 6,9 meters width maximum each. When the movable blades are fully open, they slide sideways disappearing on the fixed ones; a solution letting light in and allowing to hang furniture elements such as lamps or heaters.
Carrera can also be equipped with panoramic glazing, LED lighting and home automation systems for a more intuitive management of the comfort. The version P of Carrera is also equipped with Raso fold-back awnings, whereas Carrera S offers slender and minimalist profiles.

3.2 Connect
Connect is the sole bioclimatic pergola with mirrored glazing reflecting the outdoors while offering an unexpected privacy experience, without compromising the view of the landscape. It’s the perfect choice for those who wish to enjoy the dehors in complete privacy, surrounded by nature, thanks to a refined architecture blending with the site.
Wall-mounted and configurable with adjustable, retractable or overlapping blades, Connect offers precise control of light, heat and natural ventilation. Every function can be managed easily and intuitively via apps, weather sensors or voice commands, for a comfort always customised. Also available in large sizes (up to 5.5 x 7 metres per module), this pergola can be complemented with vertical awnings, LED lighting, Living Series furnishing accessories and the Set modular platform, which guarantees impeccable flatness even on uneven surfaces. A perfect choice for a contemporary outdoor, between high-tech and truly minimalist style.

3.3 Brera
Brera stands out for its system of retractable blades that slide and compact, thus opening a true window to the sky. A technology conceived for those who’d like to adjust the open-air according to weather conditions and their own lifestyle, in complete freedom. Brera is perfect to enhance curtain walls, terraces and glazed facades, thus creating airy and refined places.
The aluminium frame allows for the juxtaposition of more modules to design customised configurations, even big-sized –a single module can indeed reach the width of 4,5 x 6,1 meters. The wall-mounted bioclimatic pergola is available in two versions: Brera P, equipped with Raso retractable blinds; Brera S, more essential and characterised by lightweight posts. Both versions are compatible with integrated lighting, home automation systems, modular furnishings and functional accessories for flexible and perfectly equipped outdoors.

3.4 Opera
Opera’s distinctive feature is its roofing with sunshade blades adjustable from zero to 140 degrees, regulating temperature, lighting and air recirculation naturally below the pergola. Designed to offer an advanced climate comfort, Opera wall-mounted version naturally integrates with the building façade, representing a sophisticated and effective option for residential or hospitality locations. The aluminium frame houses, within the 22 cm profile, the Raso vertical blind, completely concealed, and it can also be enriched with perimeter glass walls, LED lighting systems, Set platform and Living Series line furnishings. The modular system allows for the creation of dehors of any size, thanks to the juxtaposable modules reaching the width of 4,5 x 6,1 meters.

3.5 Vision
Vision is the wall-mounted pergola combining adjustable sunshade blades and essential profiles, for a refined, lightweight and functional solar shading. Conceived to blend with different architectural styles, Vision can adapt to the smallest spaces, thanks to a slim yet resistant structure. The adjustable blades from zero to 140 degrees allow for a natural management of light and ventilation, thus offering a comfortable place in any season. The chance to juxtapose several modules allows for flexible design solutions, whereas home automation systems make climate control simple and automatic. Vision may also be equipped with vertical blinds with box, integrated lighting, panoramic glass walls and modular furnishing, thus guaranteeing the top customisation and liveability.

3.6 Sense
The lightest and most discreet bioclimatic pergola ever made by Pratic is named Sense. An essential design project, created to integrate elegantly into any architectural context, without sacrificing performance. The wall-mounted structure has small posts (only 9.8 x 14 centimetres) and a cover with sunshade blades adjustable from zero to 110 degrees, thanks to which light, ventilation and temperature can be regulated naturally. The dimensions are up to 4 x 5.4 metres per module, with a maximum height of 2.7 metres. The pergola is operated via remote control, app or voice commands, or automatically with weather sensors.
