An aluminium pergola with a retractable canopy is a permanent extruded aluminium structure with a PVC cover that slides and packs away at one end with integrated motorisation. Unlike a conventional awning, the aluminium pergola has its own uprights or is wall-mounted, can cover surfaces of up to 1300 × 1000 cm and accepts lateral enclosure with glazed screens or vertical awnings. The result is a covered outdoor space that is usable throughout the year.
It depends on three factors: available depth (from 200 cm on the Level model up to 1000 cm on the Phoenix Air), need for lateral enclosure (Nomo and Rialto with Serie Glass in four finishes, Infinity with Serie Windy, Fusion and Meta with integrated front Raso awning) and installation type (wall-mounted or free-standing for gardens without a facade). Our team carries out a free measurement visit to recommend the most suitable model.
Yes. With the canopy extended, all Pratic models channel rainfall through the integrated drainage system built into the uprights or side gutter. For use in heavy rain accompanied by wind, it is recommended to complement with lateral enclosure — Glass Series, Windy Series or perimeter vertical awnings depending on the model. All models accept a rain sensor with automatic canopy retraction.
For terraces over 6 metres deep and pool areas, the Pratic Phoenix Air stands out with up to 1000 cm in an arched design, alongside the Pratic Meta and the Pratic Mito at up to 900 cm. All three accept width-coupled modules. The Set platform makes installation easier beside pools and on sloped gardens.
The wall-mounted Level, Fusion, Infinity and Stil models cover ground-floor terraces and penthouses with a total width of up to 1300 cm. The 6 × 12 cm posts of the Level are particularly suitable for penthouses with load restrictions. The Stil resolves sloped façades or irregular geometries where other models cannot be installed.
The self-supporting Nomo, Rialto, Phoenix Air and Phoenix Free pergolas are installed on four pillars with no fixing wall. The Set platform facilitates installation alongside swimming pools and in gardens with a slope of up to 50 cm.
The Pratic Nomo with 15 × 15 cm pillars and 300 cm height is the HORECA reference: maximum robustness, the Glass Series in four finishes and the most complete optional catalogue in the range. The Phoenix Air with 1000 cm depth covers large-scale outdoor dining areas without intermediate pillars.
The Pratic Stil with adjustable-inclination pillars and the Pratic Evo with its unique integrated upright and beam component are the reference models for architects and interior designers working with non-conventional geometries and non-standard exterior covering projects.
Aluminium pergolas with a retractable canopy are the outdoor sun-protection solution that combines the permanent solidity of aluminium with the flexibility of a PVC cover that packs away when not needed. Unlike a conventional arm awning, an aluminium pergola is a freestanding structure with its own posts that does not rely on a facade wall for support — in its freestanding version — and can cover surfaces of up to 1300 × 1000 cm with coupled modules. The result is a covered, motorised, home-automation-controllable outdoor space that transforms any terrace, garden or hospitality area into a liveable and functional space throughout the year. At Cortinsa we install bespoke Pratic aluminium pergolas in Barcelona and Madrid with a free technical site visit and installation by our own team.
The first decision when choosing an aluminium pergola for a terrace or garden is the installation type. A wall-mounted aluminium pergola is fixed to the building facade with the load-bearing profile and requires only front posts — it is the most common solution for apartment terraces, penthouses and covered porches with access to a wall. A freestanding aluminium pergola has four posts of its own and requires no fixing wall — it is the right option for open gardens, rooftops without perimeter walls, and hospitality areas where the pergola must function as an independent architectural element. In the Pratic catalogue, the Nomo, Rialto, Phoenix Air and Phoenix Free models are available in both versions; the remainder are wall-mounted only.
One of the most common requirements in hospitality and high-end residential projects is a glass-enclosed aluminium pergola that allows the terrace to be used throughout the year. In the Pratic catalogue, the Nomo and Rialto models accept the Glass Series of perimeter glazing in four finishes — transparent Clear Glass, satin Satin Glass, smoked Smoked Glass and mirrored Mirrored Glass — which fully enclose the perimeter of the aluminium pergola with glazing without sacrificing the retractable canopy’s opening to the sky. The Pratic Infinity accepts the Windy Series of vertical awnings with cassette for more flexible lateral enclosure. Combined with outdoor heating and home automation, these configurations create fully habitable spaces regardless of weather conditions. Pratic glass and aluminium pergolas are the alternative to bioclimatic pergolas for projects where four-season enclosure is the priority within a more contained budget.
All Pratic bespoke aluminium pergolas are manufactured to the exact dimensions of the space to be covered, within each model’s permitted ranges. The most sought-after aluminium pergolas for apartment terraces in Barcelona and Madrid are the Level (6 × 12 cm posts, depth up to 650 cm), Fusion (with integrated front Raso awning, up to 650 cm) and Infinity (with Windy Series and Glass Series, up to 700 cm) models. For gardens and aluminium pergolas for swimming pools, the Meta and Mito with 900 cm depth and the Phoenix Air with 1000 cm are the top references in the range. For aluminium pergolas for penthouses, the slender-post Level (6 × 12 cm) and Infinity (10 × 15 cm) models offer the lowest load impact on the building structure.
The Pratic retractable aluminium pergola operates via a high-resistance PVC canopy that slides along aluminium guide rails and packs away at one end of the profile in a single motorised movement. Control is via remote handset, app or home-automation systems compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. All models accept a rain and wind sensor with automatic canopy retraction to protect the mechanism in adverse weather conditions. The canopy can be stopped at any intermediate position to regulate light entry, ventilation and temperature with precision. The Qualicoat Seaside Class 2 powder coating on the structure guarantees corrosion resistance in coastal environments without additional maintenance.
Cortinsa carries out aluminium pergola installation in Barcelona, Madrid and the surrounding metropolitan area with a comprehensive process that includes a free technical measurement visit, advice on the most suitable model and configuration, order management to the Pratic factory in Italy, bespoke manufacture with Qualicoat Seaside Class 2 powder coating, and transport and installation by our own technical team without subcontracting. The typical lead time from site visit to installation is 8 to 12 weeks. For architecture and interior design projects requiring prior technical specification, our BIM Library offers free download of Revit (.rfa) and IFC files for the entire Pratic range upon professional registration.
