Fast Growing Market: BioClimatic Pergolas

The Sun Protection market is booming, the BioClimatic Pergola is getting popular. Matic has witnessed this trend first-hand.

Who wouldn’t like to extend their time spent enjoying the outdoors? That’s the promise that the BioClimatic Pergola makes. With its side screens, it protects you from the wind as well as provides shade.



A report from Interconnection Consulting shows that the BioClimatic pergola market is quickly increasing in the recent years. In the main seven European markets, it reached a new high with around 40,000 elements sold in 2020.

Side protection with zip-screens is a must have.


Among the different types of the side protection offered with a BioClimatic pergola, Zip-Screens are the most popular: two out of three are sold with a zip-screen feature. Matic has witnessed this trend first-hand by receiving an increasing amount of machine orders from companies wanting their share of the BioClimatic market, or by Pergola producers wanting to add Zip-Screen features to their structures.

A good quality screen material used for Zip-Screen should be highly stable and have a good UV resistance. On the lateral sides of the screen, a zipper will be welded and inserted into a track system that will let the end user seamlessly open and close the sides of the pergola.
