Pergola or glass roof: what suits your terrace?
The right decision starts with how you use the space, the building and what you expect from your outdoor area.
Let the use guide the choice
Will the space serve guests, staff or your household? How important are an open sky, daylight and adjustable shade? Gather these requirements before comparing individual models.
Consider the building
Façade connections, existing doors, terrace dimensions and column positions all affect the design. A photograph and a simple plan can be enough to ask focused questions in the first conversation. The final specification is assessed for the actual property.
Plan shading and additions together
A transparent roof may call for additional shading. With a pergola, the roof design and side elements are part of the decision. The appropriate combination depends on the site and intended use.
Coordinate early
Check the requirements for your property with the relevant authorities and property owner. For commercial spaces, include use, access and coordination with other project participants in the planning.
A decision checklist for your comparison
Record your priorities in this order: intended use, light in the adjoining room, available area, access routes and preferred controls. Then compare roof styles and side additions. The largest system is not necessarily the most practical if columns or extended elements block everyday access.
From a 3D concept to an assessed specification
Use the configurator to compare proportions, colours and basic styles. Note questions about the substrate, drainage and connections. The shadows are a visual aid, not a site-specific solar study. A saved design supports consultation but is not an order drawing.
