Why combine wood and aluminium?
The best of both materials in one system
This pairing offers the best of both worlds – the warmth and authenticity of wood for the frame and the maintenance-free durability of aluminium for the louvres.
The natural look of a wooden frame
Solid visual-grade BSH spruce beams give your pergola an authentic natural character. The wood can be finished with a stain in a shade that matches your exterior.
Louvre choice: classic or interlocking
The cascading profile of the classic louvre, or the interlocking profile for a flat surface without gaps. We supply classic louvres in wood-effect finishes and RAL colours, interlocking louvres in RAL colours.
Maintenance-free aluminium louvres
Unlike wooden louvres, aluminium ones do not warp or deform. They never need recoating – just rinse them with water and they look like new. Powder coating keeps the colour stable whatever the weather.
You only paint the frame
You renew the stain on the wooden frame once every 3–5 years. The louvres never need recoating – just rinse them with water when needed.

Frame, louvres and rotation system
Click a part of the louvre system to see what it is made of. Set the louvre angle with the slider.
Solid BSH timber frame
The load-bearing structure is a frame made of visual-grade glued laminated BSH spruce beams. Gluing in layers means the frame does not warp or crack. The wood stain protects it from the weather and brings out the grain.
- 80 × 80 mm profile – sturdier, used for sliding frames and free-standing structures
- 80 × 40 mm profile – slimmer, between existing posts or for several bays side by side
- Hybrid 80 + 40 mm frame – one leg stronger where the structure requires it
- Adjustable feet of 1–5 cm – they level out the slope and keep the wood off the paving
Interlocking louvre: a continuous surface
The louvres are shaped to fit into each other when closed and form a flat surface without gaps. We make the interlocking louvres ourselves, and they are reinforced inside with grooves for greater stability and strength.
- Maximum louvre length 3 m
- A flat surface without gaps when closed
- Reinforced inside with grooves
- Powder coating in any RAL colour
Classic louvre: a cascade
When closed, each louvre partly overlaps the next, creating a cascade effect. We supply classic louvres in a wood-effect finish or in any RAL colour.
- Maximum louvre length 2 m
- Cascading arrangement
- Walnut, Golden oak and Light oak wood-effect finishes
- Powder coating in any RAL colour
SAM KIT rotation system: one pair for 5 louvres
Number of louvres: 18. Number of rotation system pairs: 4. One pair operates up to 5 louvres; the last module is shortened as needed. Joined modules tilt the louvres together.
- One pair for 5 louvres, on the left and right of the frame
- The louvre is simply inserted into the system, not drilled
- Turn one louvre by hand and they all tilt
- Motor as one of the optional extras
Flexible shading
Ordinary shading has one position. Ours has infinitely many.
With ordinary shading, the louvre angle or position is fixed in advance. Our solution lets you tilt the louvres from 0° to 140° – keep them fully closed for complete privacy or set them to exactly the angle you want.
- Protection from sun, wind and rain
- Privacy on your terrace, gazebo or balcony
- Fixed, pivoting and sliding frame options
Sliding systems
Frames that slide
A frame does not have to stay in one place all season.
The sliding version lets you move the shade to wherever you need it – and when you do not need it at all, slide the frames together and the view is clear. We offer two versions that differ in how the frame is guided: it either hangs from the top or also runs in a floor guide. The choice depends on the frame width, the number of bays and whether you want the floor completely clear.
Top-hung guide
The frame hangs from the top profile and slides to one side. There is nothing in the floor, so the passage is step-free. For stability and smooth running, the maximum louvre width with a top guide is 1.2 m.
- Maximum frame width 1.2 m
- The floor stays completely clear
- Slides to one side
- Suitable for balconies and smaller bays
Bottom guide
The frame is guided at the top and bottom, so it can handle larger sizes and more bays. Most often it is a single row in which the frames slide to the sides – left or right, depending on where you want it open at the moment. Two rows one behind the other are another option: the frames then slide behind each other and open up a larger part of the bay. The bottom profile is mounted on the floor surface; we do not recess it into the paving.
- Maximum frame width: wood 1.5 m · aluminium 2 m
- One row: frames slide left and right
- Two rows: frames slide behind each other and open up a larger part of the bay
- Bottom profile on the surface, not recessed into the paving
