LUXASHADEYour Terrace, Open Rain or Shine
Motorised aluminium louvre pergolas with blades rotating up to 115° for precise control over sun, shade, rain and natural ventilation through your terrace. Concealed drainage, TIGER Coatings, modules from 3×3m to 6×4m.
A bioclimatic louvre roof that turns your terrace into a four-season room. Motorised aluminium louvres rotate 0–115°, controlled by remote and compatible with RTS, Alexa and Google Home. Engineered in Germany to EN 1991. Modules from 3×3 m to 4×6 m, any RAL colour.
The manual sister of the Luxa Sereno 700. Same frame, same 115° louvre rotation, same TIGER Coatings finish — operated by a precision crank handle, no electricity required. Perfect for off-grid terraces, country houses, and installations where a motor is overkill. Modules from 3×3 m to 4×6 m, any RAL colour.
The motorised entry into the Sereno family. Same frame as the 700 and 500M, same 115° louvre rotation, same TIGER Coatings finish — controlled by a remote handset and wall switch instead of a smart-home gateway. The honest middle ground: motor convenience without the smart-home premium. Modules from 3×3 m to 4×6 m, any RAL colour.
PONARC presents the LuxaShade pergola range as a specification path from manual terrace shading to motorised all-season outdoor rooms, with frame, louvre, drainage and finish signals visible before product selection.
The Sereno range makes the choice between manual simplicity, motorised comfort and premium automation clear at category level.
Core specification terms are exposed before the buyer reaches individual product pages, supporting architects, dealers and homeowners at comparison stage.
Material, coating and recyclability details help the page compete with European benchmark sites that surface quality proof early.
These answers help homeowners, dealers and search assistants understand PONARC pergolas as engineered outdoor aluminium systems rather than generic patio covers.
Start with the use case: manual terrace shading starts with Luxa Sereno 500M, motorised residential comfort moves toward Sereno 500, and larger all-season or smart-home projects should review Sereno 700 before accessories are selected.
Check wind and snow loads →A useful first brief includes terrace size, wall or freestanding context, orientation, drainage expectation, wind exposure, colour target, electrical access and whether ZIP screens, lighting or heating are part of the scope.
Review lifecycle planning →The pergola is specified as a structural outdoor aluminium system with louvres, drainage, coating, fixings and service planning. That makes maintenance, standards and long-term ownership part of the buying decision.
Read buyer lifecycle guide →Connect the product family to the standards, maintenance and engineering pages architects use before drawings, quote and project handover.
