When it comes to product innovation, Hunter Douglas is at the forefront, from simple product enhancements, to the creation of brand new product categories.  Responsibility for our environment, energy efficiency and child safety are among today's main drivers of change.

Hunter Douglas had one of the largest product launches ever in May of 2011.  Updates to follow soon.

Pergolino

The Pergolino pergola awning from Stobag, a leading European awning manufacturer, is a retractable weather protection system for decks and patios.  Unlike retractable lateral arm awnings, Pergolino is able to withstand high winds and weather due to its guide rails and support structure.  Available in widths up to 18 feet and projections up to 16 feet, Pergolino can provide sun and weather protection to most outdoor living spaces.

What makes Pergolino unique is its fabric tensioning system, which ensures that the fabric awning cover is taut in any position and at any angle.  Gas-filled cylinders integrated into the two guide rails pull the awning front bar away from the structure, and the Somfy electric motor integrated into the awning roller tube pulls the front bar back toward the structure.  Tension is maintained on the fabric at all times.

The fabric is solution-dyed woven acrylic from Sattler, Sauleda, or Sunbrella, which resists fading and is water resistant.  When the Pergolino is pitched at least 10 degrees, water runs off the front of the awning.  The tensioned fabric prevents water from pooling on the awning cover.  When retracted, the awning cover is protected from the weather by the completed enclosed Pergolino housing.

The support posts, guide rails, and wall brackets can be flexibly positioned to accommodate the unique needs of each application.
