Pergolas have always been a common method of marking out the areas outside, but glass pergolas will bring the idea to a new level. They allow you to spend time outdoors and provide the shelter against the elements, providing an all-purpose space to eat, rest, or have a party.
The quality of a glass pergola is that it is open and sheltered at the same time. Glass roofs are clear, thus allowing sunlight to enter the area, and it is also rain-protected. Coloured or painted panels may provide some shade and even some privacy, so the pergola may be comfortable during the day. Other homeowners even incorporate working sections such that they may be able to control the coverage as per the weather.
Other advantages are design flexibility. Frameless glass will provide a smooth, contemporary appearance, and glass with wooden or metal frames can be used to add to a more traditional or industrial appearance. Combining the pergola with some lights or climbing plants can also make the pergola a feature of any garden or patio.
It is important that it is durable and safe. Tempered or laminated glass has the ability to withstand wind and impact and has low-maintenance finishes that ensure that the glass looks perfect with minimal effort.
Finally, a glass pergola will turn an outside area into an all-year-round haven. It is a mixture of style, functionality and comfort and it is a welcoming space where family and friends can meet and yet have the freedom of the outdoors.
