Why the Pratic One roofing system is different

No intermediate uprights: up to 13 metres of clear span

The Pratic One cover spans surfaces of up to 1300×900 cm with no need for intermediate pillars or uprights. The PVC canvas slides along aluminium guide rails with a 10×16 cm profile and packs away into a compact space when not required, allowing the open area to be enjoyed without obstruction. Ideal for large terraces and patios where visual spaciousness is a priority.

Wall-to-wall or recess fixing: no independent structure required

The Pratic One is installed directly between walls or within existing openings, with no need to build a separate load-bearing structure. This makes it particularly suited to building terraces, interior courtyards and enclosed spaces where additional columns cannot or should not be installed.

Patented anti-drip system and Qualicoat Seaside Class 2

The patented anti-drip system prevents water infiltration at joints and guide rails, guaranteeing the watertightness of the cover during rainfall. The structural lacquering holds the Qualicoat Seaside Class 2 certification, the highest standard of corrosion resistance for coastal and urban environments. Patented design and Made in Italy.

Integrated motorisation, LED and home automation

Available with manual or motorised operation. The system accepts integrated LED Line lighting within the canvas grilles, in white or RGB versions, and is compatible with home automation via app or voice command to create personalised scenes. Light, rain and wind sensors allow the opening and closing of the cover to be automated according to weather conditions.

Pratic One Cover: sliding PVC canopy for large terraces and interior courtyards

What the Pratic One is and which spaces it is designed for

The Pratic One exterior cover is a sliding PVC canopy on aluminium guides with no intermediate uprights, capable of covering surfaces of up to 1300×900 cm with three spans. It is installed directly between walls or in existing openings without the need for an independent load-bearing structure, making it the go-to solution for large terraces in buildings, interior courtyards and enclosed spaces where coverage without additional pillars is required. The 10×16 cm guide profile sets the Pratic One apart from the Pratic Tecnic — with its 5×10 cm profile — and allows it to achieve a greater installation depth. See the full range of exterior covers to compare options.

The sliding PVC canopy glides smoothly and packs away into a compact space, allowing the transition from covered to open space in seconds. When installed alongside glazed surfaces, the cover helps reduce the energy consumption of interior climate control by limiting direct solar incidence.

Patented anti-drip system and Qualicoat Seaside finish quality

Pratic’s patented anti-drip system guarantees the waterproofing of the cover during rainfall, preventing infiltration at the junction points between the canopy and the guides. The Qualicoat Seaside Class 2 coating is the most demanding certification for aluminium exterior finishes: it ensures corrosion resistance in coastal, urban and high-humidity environments. The patented design and Made in Italy manufacture are a guarantee of long-term build quality. For projects requiring greater climatic versatility, bioclimatic pergolas with adjustable louvres are the usual alternative.

Motorisation, home automation and LED accessories for year-round use

The motorised Pratic One cover supports integrated LED Line lighting within the canopy slats — white or RGB — for night-time use of the outdoor space. Compatible with app-based and voice-command home automation systems that allow custom opening and closing scenarios to be created. Rain, wind and light sensors automate the behaviour of the cover according to weather conditions, which is particularly useful in continuously used installations in hospitality and corporate spaces. The optional double ceiling conceals the PVC of the cover from the interior with a warmer, more welcoming finish, available in three colours.
