Do you accept custom sizes and OEM branding for aluminum pergolas?

Yes. Every pergola is produced to the width, projection and height on your drawings. We also support custom RAL powder-coat colors, private-label packaging and OEM branding for dealers and distributors.

Which certifications are available for your pergola systems?

Our products have been CE tested, and a third-party supplier assessment report is available. Test documents can be shared with buyers during project evaluation.

How do you design pergolas for different climates and wind conditions?

Before production we review the site location, span, local wind and snow conditions and drainage requirements, then confirm profile sections, post spacing and anchoring with the buyer. Local building approval remains the responsibility of the installer or engineer of record.

Can I combine pergolas, zip blinds and outdoor furniture in one shipment?

Yes. Many dealers consolidate pergolas, side screens, roller or zip blinds, outdoor furniture and outdoor kitchen items in one container to lower freight cost per unit.

How are pergolas packed for export?

Profiles are protected with film and foam, and components are labelled by structure so installers can identify parts quickly. Packing is planned around container loading to reduce transit damage.

Barcelona Market Architecture: Microclimate & Commercial Landscape

Analyzing structural wind resistance, energy transition guidelines (CTE DB-HE), and architectural demands across Catalonia’s metropolitan and coastal zones.

The Mediterranean metropolis of Barcelona presents a demanding environment for exterior solar shading and architectural weather envelope engineering. Positioned between the Serra de Collserola mountain range and the Balearic Sea, the Catalan capital experiences severe atmospheric exposure: high-salinity air in districts like Barceloneta and Poblenou, relentless thermal loads during summer months, and sudden mechanical velocity spikes triggered by coastal gale winds and the Tramuntana down drafts. Traditional canvas drop-arms, awnings, and non-guided external screens routinely suffer mechanical fatigue, track blowout, and fabric degradation within 12 to 18 months of installation. Consequently, leading architecture firms, general contractors, and HoReCa (Hotel, Restaurant, Café) operators across Barcelona now specify Windproof Zipper Screen Systems (Persianas Estor Guiadas con Cremallera) as mandatory envelope components.

Catalonia's stringent enforcement of the Spanish Technical Building Code (Código Técnico de la Edificación - CTE), particularly Basic Document DB-HE (Energy Saving) and DB-SE-AE (Wind Loads), has fundamentally reshaped fenestration procurement. Commercial terrace winter-gardens, luxury penthouses in Eixample, and rooftop hospitality decks in Diagonal Mar require external solar shading capable of rejecting up to 90% of solar radiation prior to reaching glazed facades (lowering g-tot values below 0.10) while withstanding sustained Beaufort Scale 10 wind speeds (up to 102 km/h) without deflection or dislodging from their extruded aluminum side rails.

HoReCa Terrace Monopolies

Barcelona’s civic ordinances governing exterior hospitality installations require year-round removable bioclimatic pergolas paired with certified zip screens, unlocking all-weather footfall on Passeig de Gràcia and waterfront avenues.

Marine Corrosion & Salt Spray

Marine environments require Qualicoat Seaside certified powder coating, 6063-T6 aluminum alloys, and Grade 316 (A4) stainless steel hardware to neutralize coastal degradation across the Port Olímpic district.

UNE-EN 13561 Compliance

European standard EN 13561 sets strict performance thresholds for exterior blinds. High-performance zip screens engineered for Barcelona are certified to Class 6 wind resistance (up to 400 Pa of sustained static pressure).

Technical Architecture: Zip Track Mechanics & Textile Engineering

Deconstructing the internal tensioning assemblies, high-frequency welded zips, and composite glass-fiber shading fabrics.

The architectural success of an exterior windproof blind hinges entirely on its proprietary retention mechanics. Unlike conventional drop roller blinds that rely on free-hanging gravity bars or loose wire cables, our Smart-Track Zip Mechanism locks the textile edges inside heavy-duty co-extruded PVC/EPDM inner runners housed within architectural 6063-T6 aluminum profiles. The edge of the composite fabric features a continuous synthetic zipper tape welded via ultra-precision high-frequency (HF) thermal fusion.

When exposed to severe lateral wind loads, dynamic air forces attempt to billow the textile. This tension pulls the zipper outwards, compressing it tightly against the wedge profile of the internal elastomer damping core. The greater the mechanical pressure exerted by wind gusts, the firmer the zipper anchors itself within the profile tracks. This eliminates fluttering noise, fabric slippage, and tearing along structural welds.

Solar Energy Rejection (gtot)	0.25 – 0.35 (Interior/Standard)	0.18 – 0.25 (External basic)	< 0.10 (Optimized Solar Screen Mesh)

Complementing the structural hardware is the selection of technical textiles. For the Mediterranean climate of Catalonia, we engineer solutions utilizing composite yarns constructed from high-tenacity glass fiber or virgin polyester filaments coated with UV-stabilized PVC. Formulations from Serge Ferrari (Soltis Perform 92) and Copaco (Serge 600) ensure extreme dimensional stability, zero thermal sag under ambient temperatures exceeding 42°C, and exceptional resistance to fungal spore accumulation and salt crusting.
