These homeowners purchased a sliding door and an entrance door from Express when they carried out a home renovation several years ago. When they heard about the pergolas now offered through Exterior Spaces, they decided to revisit our showroom in Leeds to look at the new outdoor products to see if they would work as an additional space to sit on top of their raised decking area. They looked in detail at both ranges of our bioclimatic pergolas and opted for our Phanes system as it’s great look and functionality was the perfect solution to enhance their outside space.
The recently completed extension has a pitched roof so we supplied the pergola at a slightly lower height than usual to sit directly above the guttering, so the pergola feels like a small extension of the house itself.
The 2400mm high pergola is sat directly in front of the sliding doors that lead out from the kitchen, so the new pergola now feels like a functional area connected with the open plan kitchen space. The raised decking area adds to the inside, outside feel of the space but the elevated deck does draw in the attention of the neighbours. This is negated however by the aluminium shutters and the grey tinted glass sliding doors that add a significant amount of privacy into the new 3m x 3m pergola space.
One of the options for the sides of our pergolas are fixed aluminium louvred frames. We have the flexibility to make this into a design feature with more than 300 colours available but in this instance the homeowners simply wanted a fixed screen to offer total privacy from the neighbours, so we supplied the louvres in the same colour as the rest of the pergola.
The homeowners wanted the flexibility of sliding glass doors but liked idea of retaining privacy from the neighbours, so we supplied them with 10mm thick anti-sun glass with a grey tint.
The sliding doors can slide to open the pergola or close the space off to protect from the elements, while the tinted glass reflects the light to provide the privacy required by the homeowners.
We offer two industry leading ranges of bioclimatic pergolas, the clever design of our Phanes pergola makes it much easier to manufacture and install so it is a more cost -effective option than our Selene pergola as a result.
All our bioclimatic pergolas are available with smooth and rotating roof louvres, LED lighting and built-in heaters and speakers, you can learn more about each product online or better yet visit our showroom to check out both options in person.
You can explore the features of our pergolas, carports and high technology outdoor products both inside and outside our stunning Leeds showroom. We’re minutes off the M62 and M621 motorway networks and right next to the White Rose Centre. Plus, we’re open seven days a week and until 8:00pm on Wednesdays, there’s no appointment necessary so call in for a coffee and to learn about how we can create your perfect outside space.
