The increased awareness of the dangers of direct sunlight has created demand for covered patios and decks. One solution is a louvered rooftop. New Jersey-based BioClimatic Structures is the exclusive U.S. distributor of Solisysteme, a pergola system from France that protects from the elements while providing a unique space to enjoy the outdoors. Adjustable aluminum louvers rotate 160 degrees to regulate sunlight fluctuations for comfortable ventilation, temperature control and brightness, all remotely controlled. When closed, the louvers fit together to form a gutter system that redirects rainwater. Optional rain sensors automatically close the louvers when you are away.
