Undisturbed enjoyment of the outdoors at any time of year

We all want to spend as much time as possible outside: enjoying the sun and nature in peace. After all, this has a positive influence on a person's health and mood. With a Somnium pergola from Aliplast Aluminium Systems, one can enjoy garden and terrace undisturbed all year round. This horizontal, minimalist terrace canopy with opening slats or glass roof is a true eye-catcher in any garden or at a catering establishment - freestanding or attached.

Outdoor Living is all the rage. After all, people now like to enjoy the garden and nature in peace and quiet or organize a barbecue or party with friends, .... 

This, of course, involves the necessary risks if it starts to rain or if it suddenly gets a little colder as evening falls. In any case, that explains the increasing demand for patio covers, so that they don't have to deal with these whims of nature either. "With the Somnium pergola, we respond to this perfectly. This aluminum patio cover with a roof made of rotating slats or glass can be attached and thus form an extension of a house, garden house or pool house or placed free-standing in the garden or by the swimming pool," says sales manager Jourik Duwez. 

"This eye-catcher can be up to 6 meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 3 meters high. What is unique, however, is that it is also multi-piece linkable in length and width. For example, two canopies can be combined, one with a slatted roof and the other with a glass roof. If you choose vertical screens or sliding glass elements on one or more open sides, you are also protected from wind and cold."

Thoughtful rotation technology

The Somnium slat roof from Aliplast is characterized by its minimalist design and unprecedented versatility, as well as its well-thought-out and durable rotation technology. Thanks to the motorized, electrically operated system, the aluminum slats always open and close simultaneously. These single- or double-walled slats rotate up to 120°, guaranteeing users optimum comfort. 

"Basically, you choose how you turn the slats at any time. So you can give the sun free rein, limit solar radiation a little or keep the solar heat completely 'out'," explains the sales manager. "Moreover, thanks to these rotatable slats, you can also close the roof completely watertight in case of rain. Water that lands on the roof is carefully drained via an integrated gutter profile and invisibly concealed water drainage pipes in the uprights. An integrated rain sensor detects drops and causes the slatted roof to close automatically, so you will never be in for a wet surprise during your afternoon nap. By the way, a safety mode against frost is also provided."

A pleasant outdoor room

This stylish patio canopy is fully customized and is available in a wide range of colors with a 25-year Qualicoat Sea Side paint warranty. It therefore fits perfectly with any type of home: classic, rural or modern. There is more, as lighting, screens or sliding glass walls can be used to create a pleasant outdoor room. 

"Windproof screens, integrated into the uprights, keep wind, water and sun out, protect furniture from discoloration and limit views. Those who still want more openness can opt for our various glass solutions that can be perfectly combined with this Somnium pergola. This way you are protected from the weather, but you always maintain an unobstructed view of the garden and its surroundings," Jourik Duwez concludes. "Even when it gets dark in the evening, you can continue to enjoy your terrace. After all, high-quality LED lighting in the beams provides a pleasant atmosphere. All elements can be easily operated via Somfy control."
