How is the Luxe Pergola louvered roof different from other louvered roofs?admin7772020-07-10T18:16:52+00:00
- The Luxe Pergola louver is stronger than other louvers because it was designed with a “tectonic arch”. Most other louvers have a maximum 12’ span but ours will span up to 16’.
- The Luxe Pergola gutter holds up to 40% more water, is the only one designed to receive standard gutter screens, is the only one to have LED strip light shelves built in, and is the only one with a crown mold curve design.
- The Luxe Pergola louver is the only one made in the USA to have ball bearings at each end of the louver for less friction and longer life without the metal to metal squeaking you get with most other louver systems.
- The Luxe Pergola louver has and exclusive rubber gasket to help block out light and seal between the louvers.
- The Luxe Pergola post to beam connection is the strongest on the market, designed to attach a large portion of the post directly to the beam.
- The Luxe Pergola pivot bar is the only one to connect to the louver using our exclusive pivot bar bearings for minimal friction and much longer mechanism life.
How do the Luxe Pergola louvers work?admin7772020-07-10T18:15:39+00:00
-
- The heavy duty extruded powder-coated aluminum Louvers fit between extruded aluminum 2×8 beams and are supported by extruded aluminum 6×6 posts.
- The Louvers are attached to ball bearing rollers that rotate the Louvers by use of a Remote Controlled Motor.
- The Louvers open and close with the push of a button. When the Louvers are closed they route water into the extruded gutters that are attached to the beams and down the inside of the 6×6 support posts. When the Louvers are open they allow through any amount of sunlight or shade that you desire.
