Summer in Switzerland

35°C on the terrace — and you retreat to the dark living room.

In July, the sun beats down on the patio; nothing can stand the shade. By evening, the apartment has heated up and you don’t open a window because the heat wants to get in. For three months a year, you become a prisoner in your own home.

Do you know that?

A sun umbrella is not a solution against the Swiss midday sun.

It covers 4 m² and tips over in the first gust of wind. An awning helps a little — but only in one direction and not in the wind.

Patio like an oven

35°C and direct sunlight. No one willingly sits there. The flowers scorch, the cushions fade.

The house heats up too

The sun beats down on the façade, through the panes and into the rooms. In the evening you need hours of cross-ventilation.

Kids can’t go outside

At midday, it’s too hot to play. The family retreats indoors, even though the garden is right next door.

Shade at the touch of a button. Controlled air circulation. And a space that doesn’t turn into an oven.

The real problem

You waited all summer — and still you end up sitting indoors.

Spring promised you that you’d live outdoors this summer. And now? July, 33 °C, midday sun. You close the terrace door, pull down the shutters, switch on the fan.

The terrace—the one where you laid the flooring perfectly, chose the furniture carefully, tended the plants—it sits empty. Because the sun turns it into a no-go zone.

A proper aluminium pergola with a louvred roof changes all that. You adjust the louvres, the sun becomes grazing light, the air circulates freely, and the temperature drops by 8–12 °C. From day one.

"Since we got the pergola, the terrace has become my favourite spot in the house. The kitchen stays cool, and we’re eating outdoors again — even at 33 °C." — Customer from Aarau

The solution

SkyPergola — your cooled outdoor space.

No glass roof, no metal roof. Rotatable aluminium louvers that block exactly the sun angle that bothers you.

  • Louvres as a sunshade 90° rotation range means: you choose how much light comes through. From full shade to an open-sky pergola.
  • Air continues to circulate Unlike a glass roof or awning. Heat doesn’t build up under the roof — warm air flows through.
  • Heat protection for your home Anyone sitting under the pergola stays cool. Anyone behind the glass panels does too: the house heats up significantly less.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. With the louvers closed, the difference compared to direct sun is typically 8–12 °C. The air circulates and the heat-island effect disappears.

Rough guideline: from around CHF 15,000 for the 3 x 3 m Lite. In the consultation, we’ll clarify your specific situation.

From order: 6–10 weeks, including the building permit. We take care of the permit application for you.

No. The SkyPergola replaces an awning, sun sail and parasol in one product — because it can do everything each of them can do on its own.
