Folding Rail Awning Systems
Four-Season Comfort & Automation
Folding Rail Awning Systems
Folding rail awning systems (pergola awnings) are the most professional automated shading solution for turning large open areas into four-season living spaces. Triple-layer Blackout fabric travels on precision extruded aluminium rails, so you can fully open or close the space on demand — with maximum protection from rain, snow, sun and wind.
Key System Advantages
Large-Span Coverage
Cover vast commercial terraces and gardens in a single, uninterrupted module of up to 10 m × 15 m.
Remote Control & Automation
Quiet, fluid open-and-close comfort at the touch of a button, powered by Somfy or Becker motors.
Integrated Gutter & Drainage
A dedicated aluminium front gutter and concealed downpipe channels ensure full drainage in heavy rain.
Flame-Retardant Blackout Fabric
German/French-origin triple-layer PVC fabric: heat blocking, 100% waterproof and flame-retardant.
Optional Equipment & Comfort Features
Integrated LED Lighting
Spot or linear LED lighting with remote dimmer control.
Radiant Heating Systems
Integrated infrared or electric heaters to keep the space warm through winter.
Wind & Rain Sensor
Smart automation sensors that close the awning automatically when weather conditions deteriorate.
Smart Home & Smartphone Control
Control from anywhere via Somfy TaHoma or iOS/Android apps.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Is Pricing Calculated?
Pricing is based on the width and projection of the area (square metres), the profile section used, the chosen automation brand and any integrated LED lighting options. Our free site-survey team takes on-site measurements and issues a firm quote.
Is the System Resistant to Rain and Snow Load?
Yes. High-strength extruded aluminium profiles and triple-layer waterproof Blackout fabric prevent leaks or collapse under heavy rain and snow load. The front carrier gutter channels drain water away.
Can the Sides Be Enclosed with Glass Later?
Absolutely. Our folding rail awning systems are designed so the lower supporting structure integrates fully with guillotine glass, sliding glass, zip screens and folding glass systems.
