02-07-2020 Inspiration & Ideas by Morgan Glennon Motorized Pergolas are an Outdoor Living Game-Changer Want an outdoor space you can really enjoy? Motorized pergolas are your answer! The best collaborations are those that elevate already great products to a whole new level. Such is the case for the Somfy and StruXure Outdoor partnership. Somfy is the celebrated designer of the most sought after quiet and connected motors, mobile apps, and smart communications solutions on the market. StruXure is the industry leader in the creation of luxury pergola systems. Together, the two companies have teamed up to provide an outdoor living solution that isn’t just functional, but unparalleled. MVPs The interlocking louvered-roof structures by StruXure Outdoor have always offered both a manual and electronic option for opening and closing the louvers. But by adding Somfy’s motor and user-friendly app, the bar has definitely been raised. The StuXure/myLink app puts the operational controls at the user’s fingertips through any smart device, making it even easier to operate the StruXure system. Plus, weather sensors are available to protect the user's investment. Furniture underneath the pergola is protected with a rain sensor, while a wind sensor protects the pergola itself. Adding technology to your outdoor space could be the best decision you make! Outdoor Living Game-Changer Who doesn’t want to increase the usable square footage of their home and enjoy year-round outdoor activities? By adding the Somfy-powered StruXure pergola to your home, entertaining or relaxing alfresco in a protected-from-the-elements environment will be viable during any season. Playful children don’t have to be cooped up inside. Tight dining space can suddenly be expanded. An evening of star-gazing is right outside your door. The possibilities are endless. It’s a game-changer in how to make the most of outdoor living. People are Talking But don’t just take our word for it. Clients across the country are already realizing the benefits of this collaboration and are more than happy to talk about it. Take Barbara in Ohio, who saw the integrated products in action on social media and immediately called for an appointment. Barb and her husband Keith, who are now staying dry as they sit outside watching a passing rainstorm, were impressed by the quick and painless construction process, seamless design, and the bonus of being able to add screens to their structure and operate the entire system with ease. Susan in Washington raves, “The quiet motorized louvers provide a means for sun or shade—it’s our call, [and] with the ever-changing winds and rains here in Seattle, our new sanctuary is a place for us to rest and recharge or energize with friends, regardless of the weather.” The Somfy / StruXure Outdoor collaboration even has building inspectors asking where they can get their own StruXure pergola with a Somfy motor and app. Click here to learn more about StruXure Outdoor Find out more Categories Inspiration & Ideas Tags outdoor living uv protection residential pergola Please accept cookies to leave a comment Accept cookies Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.
