Glass Pergola (Winter Garden)
The Albert Genau Winter Garden withstands snow and rain thanks to its patented drainage and extra-stiff gutter. Premium glass or polycarbonate roof options, a patented micro-window system and concealed connectors maximise transparency; it can be personalised with sliding, guillotine, Tambalkon or folding glass balcony systems.
A glass pergola closes the roof with glass or polycarbonate panels and, if you wish, glazes the sides as well, turning a terrace exposed to rain and snow into a room you use all year. A patented drainage design and rigid gutter carry water away inside the structure and stand up to snow load. Adding a roof zip screen above and sliding glass at the sides completes heat and sun control.
If you would rather the roof did not stay fixed, the illuminated folding pergola, whose fabric cover gathers away, can go on the same terrace; the difference between the two is in the winter garden comparison.

Our motorised louvred roof pergola systems offer three climate modes - fully closed, ventilation and fully open - with profiles tested against snow and rain load for year-round reliability. With synchronised panel movement and LED ambience lighting options, we supply aluminium winter garden and bioclimatic pergola solutions for gardens, terraces, hotels, restaurants and cafes.
Structure and materials
The roof of a glass pergola is closed with fixed glass or polycarbonate panels; a patented drainage detail and a rigid gutter carry rainwater away inside the structure, and the roof is sized for snow load. Close the sides with sliding, guillotine, folding or frameless glass systems and the terrace becomes a space you use all year.
Manufactured with T6-temper profiles and Qualicoat-certified paint, the system's stainless steel accessories resist corrosion for years. Structural sections are engineered to the span and the snow load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bioclimatic pergola?
A bioclimatic pergola is a pergola type with an aluminium louvred roof system whose louvres can be opened and closed via motor and remote control.
Can a bioclimatic pergola be used all year round?
Yes, the motorised opening roof structure provides rain and sun control, allowing bioclimatic pergolas to be used outdoors in all four seasons.
What is the difference between a winter garden and a bioclimatic pergola?
A winter garden creates a more enclosed living space with a high-insulation aluminium profile and insulated glass roof, while a bioclimatic pergola is a semi-open outdoor solution with a louvred, opening-closing roof.
Does a glass pergola carry snow load?
Yes. The patented drainage and rigid gutter design take the water away inside the frame, and the structure is calculated for snow load. The snow load figure for your region is taken into account during the site survey.
Does a glass pergola overheat in summer?
Because the fixed glass roof lets the sun through, adding a ceiling zip screen above it is recommended: the sun is stopped before it reaches the glass and the space below stays usable through the summer.
The difference from the alternative with an opening roof is in the winter garden comparison.
