Why the Gibus Velvet is different

The Gibus Velvet is the model in the Gibus family with adjustable louvres and a 28 cm frame — between the 25 cm of the Joy/Sway and the 31 cm of the Twist/Varia — for projects seeking a balance between the visual lightness of the Joy and the robustness of the Twist. With a width of up to 603 cm and a projection of up to 450 cm, in freestanding or wall-mounted versions.

Adjustable louvres 0°–120°, Gibus bioclimatic technology

The Gibus Velvet incorporates the extruded aluminium louvres adjustable from 0° to 120° found across the entire Gibus bioclimatic family. Natural convection ventilation in the open position, full solar protection in the partial position, and a watertight cover with the patented sealing system in the 90° position, with drainage to downpipes integrated into the posts.

28 cm frame, balance between lightness and robustness

The 28 cm perimeter frame positions the Velvet between the Joy (25 cm) and the Twist (31 cm), offering a balanced visual presence suited to both residential projects and medium-scale hospitality installations. The posts maintain the standard 13 × 13 cm square section of the Gibus family.

Up to 603 × 450 cm, freestanding or wall-mounted

With a width of 203 to 603 cm and a projection of 200 to 450 cm, the Velvet covers surfaces of up to approximately 27 m² per module in the freestanding version with 4 posts, front wall-mounted or side wall-mounted with 2 posts. Modular system with shared posts for coupling.

Optional integrated LED lighting

Compatible with LED lighting integrated into the structure, with no visible external elements. A standard option for residential and hospitality installations with regular night-time use.

Gibus Velvet, the bioclimatic pergola with orientable louvres and balanced design

The Gibus Velvet bioclimatic pergola is the model in the Gibus family featuring orientable louvres and a 28 cm frame, positioned between the visual lightness of the Joy (25 cm) and the robustness of the Twist (31 cm). With a width of up to 603 cm and a projection of up to 450 cm, it is a versatile solution for mid-scale residential and hospitality projects where a precise balance between dimensions, visual presence, and bioclimatic performance is required. At Cortinsa we install the Gibus Velvet in Barcelona and Madrid with manufacturer’s warranty and our own technical team.

Velvet vs Joy and Twist, the intermediate option

The Gibus family with orientable louvres includes three main models differentiated by maximum dimensions and frame: the Gibus Joy with a 25 cm frame and up to 610 × 450 cm, the Gibus Velvet with a 28 cm frame and up to 603 × 450 cm, and the Gibus Twist with a 31 cm frame and up to 670 × 600 cm. The Velvet is the choice when the dimensions of the Joy are sufficient but a greater visual solidity from the 28 cm frame is preferred for a more robust integration in contemporary architecture projects.

Velvet vs Velvet Plus, orientable or foldable louvres

The Gibus Velvet and the Gibus Velvet Plus share a name and similar dimensions but differ in the type of louvres: the Velvet has orientable louvres that pivot from 0° to 120° on their axis, always present in the plane of the roof. The Velvet Plus has foldable louvres that retract and stack, leaving part of the roof open. The choice depends on whether permanent protection (Velvet) or the ability to fully open the roof (Velvet Plus) is the priority.
