Saiwenna Outdoor Shading Systems
Motorized Louvered Pergolas
A motorized louvered pergola is an outdoor aluminum roof system whose blades rotate to vary the amount of overhead sun, shade, and ventilation.
What Is a Motorized Louvered Pergola?
A motorized louvered pergola is an outdoor aluminum roof system whose blades rotate to vary the amount of overhead sun, shade, and ventilation.
Best-Fit Applications
Terraces that need adjustable overhead light
Hospitality or villa spaces that keep the same roof footprint
Projects where blade angle matters more than a fully open roof
Not ideal for
It is not the best choice when the design brief requires the roof blades to physically move away and reveal a largely open sky. A retractable louvered pergola is the closer alternative for that requirement.
How the System Works
A DC tubular actuator drives the roof-blade mechanism. The documented blades rotate from the open position toward a closed roof position, with a stated adjustment range of 0–120 degrees. Blade angle changes overhead light and airflow without moving the full roof assembly away.
Key Structural Differences
Unlike a retractable louvered pergola, this system adjusts blade angle while the roof grid remains over the opening. Unlike a fabric roof, it uses rigid aluminum blades. Unlike a folding aluminum roof, the blades rotate rather than folding and stacking along a track.
Available Configurations
- 180 mm blade series: documented reference up to 6 m length × 4 m width
- 220 mm blade series: documented reference up to 6 m length × 5 m width
- Remote-controlled motorized configuration
- Manual louvered configuration exists as a related variant and should be quoted separately
- Lighting, side screens, zip screens, and other accessories are project-specific options
Materials and Finishes
The two documented motorized series use aluminum blades, perimeter beams, posts, and drainage components. The 180-series blade is listed as 180 × 40 × 1.4 mm; the 220-series blade is listed as 220 × 48 × 1.7 mm. Finish and accessory selections remain project-specific.
Motorization and Control
Remote operation is documented. Any wall switch, app, voice, gateway, group control, sensor, or building-system request must be confirmed against the final actuator, controller, wiring, and selected pergola series.
Compatibility is confirmed only after the final motor, controller, wiring, gateway, and project configuration are selected.
Project and Installation Considerations
- Select the 180 or 220 series before confirming module dimensions
- Confirm freestanding or building-connected layout
- Define roof orientation, drainage direction, post positions, and finished height
- Coordinate lighting, side screens, power routing, and service access
- Obtain local structural and installation review for the actual site
Technical Reference
| Item | Documented reference |
|---|---|
| Blade adjustment | 0–120° documented range |
| 180-series reference | Up to 6 m length × 4 m width |

What We Need for Quotation
Send the selected product direction, dimensions, quantity, drawings, mounting conditions, finish, control request, destination, and site photos. Saiwenna will confirm the applicable documented series and identify any data still needed before quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the blades retract?
No. On this product the blades rotate while the roof grid remains in place. Choose the retractable louvered system when an open-sky condition is required.
Can the 180 and 220 series use the same maximum width?
No. Their documented width references differ and must remain tied to the selected series.
Are lighting and side screens standard?
They are accessory directions, not automatic inclusions. Compatibility and pricing depend on the final configuration.
Prepare a Project-Specific Configuration
Share drawings and site inputs before relying on a size or control reference. We will review the relevant system series and quotation scope.
