The Pratic Connect is not a freestanding pergola but a perimeter glazing system in toughened glass designed to be combined with compatible Pratic bioclimatic pergolas. Its fixed Spy Glass panels — available in mirrored or smoked finish — are anchored around the perimeter of the pergola, creating a fully transparent enclosure from the inside and an opaque one from the outside during the day, with a mirror effect that reflects the surrounding landscape and makes the structure appear to disappear into its environment. The result is a fully enclosed, climatisable outdoor space with complete privacy, while retaining all the bioclimatic functionality of the base pergola.
The polished-edge rectified toughened glass of the Connect system is available in two finishes: Mirrored Glass, which reflects the surroundings to create Connect’s characteristic mirror effect, and Smoked Glass, which filters the light and offers privacy with a more discreet finish. From inside the pergola, both options maintain a perfectly clear view to the outside. The perimeter aluminium profile, certified Qualicoat Seaside Class 2, guarantees durability in coastal environments.
The Connect system adapts to the dimensions and structure of the bioclimatic pergola on which it is installed. Each configuration has its own maximum dimensions determined by the base pergola: Connect on Brera P up to 450 × 610 cm, Connect on Opera up to 550 × 700 cm with 0–140° adjustable louvres, and Connect on Carrera P up to 500 × 700 cm with bidirectional stackable louvres.
Combined with the bioclimatic roof of the base pergola and optional features such as outdoor heating, integrated LED lighting and home automation, the Connect system transforms a terrace or HORECA space into a fully habitable area throughout the year: open to the sky and landscape in summer, enclosed and climatisable in autumn and winter. The Set modular platform, especially recommended with Connect, completes the integration of the floor with the enclosure.

The Pratic Connect is Pratic’s perimeter enclosure system that transforms a bioclimatic pergola into a fully enclosed space with complete privacy from the outside. Its fixed panels of toughened, ground-edge polished Spy Glass are installed around the perimeter of the base pergola, creating a mirror effect that reflects the surroundings and makes the structure visually disappear into the landscape. Combined with the pergola’s bioclimatic roof, the Connect system turns any terrace, garden or HORECA space into a year-round living area with full control of light, ventilation and temperature. At Cortinsa we install the Pratic Connect system in Barcelona and Madrid, integrated with the compatible bioclimatic pergolas from the range.
The Pratic Connect is available in three configurations depending on the bioclimatic pergola it is installed on. Connect + Brera P: retractable louvres with mirrored enclosure, up to 450 × 610 cm, the most sought-after combination for high-end residential projects. Connect + Opera: 0–140° adjustable louvres with mirrored enclosure, up to 550 × 700 cm, the largest-surface configuration for HORECA projects. Connect + Carrera P: bidirectional stackable louvres with mirrored enclosure, up to 500 × 700 cm, the most technologically advanced option in the Pratic catalogue. In all cases, Connect is not compatible with the Brera S or the Brera B.
The combination of a glazed bioclimatic pergola with the Connect system is the most complete solution for hospitality and restaurant spaces in Barcelona and Madrid that need to operate year-round regardless of weather conditions. The Spy Glass enclosure provides complete visual privacy from the outside during the day, while from the inside it maintains an unobstructed view of the surroundings with full transparency. For architecture projects requiring technical documentation, our BIM Library contains the Revit (.rfa) and IFC files for the Connect system and the full Pratic range.
Cortinsa installs the Pratic Connect system in Barcelona, Madrid and the surrounding metropolitan area as part of a comprehensive project that includes the base bioclimatic pergola, the Connect enclosure and all automation and finishing options. With over 20 years of experience in pergolas and technical sun-protection systems, our team manages the entire project from the survey visit to the commissioning of the home automation.
The Pratic Connect is a perimeter enclosure system of fixed tempered mirrored or smoked glass panels that is installed around the perimeter of a compatible Pratic bioclimatic pergola. It is not a standalone pergola but a complement that transforms the pergola into a fully enclosed space with complete privacy from the outside during the day.
The Pratic Connect is compatible with three models: Brera P up to 450 × 610 cm, Opera up to 550 × 700 cm and Carrera P up to 500 × 700 cm. It is not compatible with the Brera S, Brera B or Vision.
The Mirrored Glass creates a mirror effect that reflects the exterior landscape, making the structure almost invisible from outside during the day. The Smoked Glass filters the light and offers privacy with a more discreet and neutral finish. From the inside, both options maintain full visibility to the exterior.
Not mandatory but highly recommended. The aluminium Set platform integrates structurally with the Connect, creating a continuous flat floor with the enclosure, which improves the visual finish and functionality of the space, especially in installations on terraces with uneven levels or irregular paving.
