LOUVERED PERGOLA
DUBLIN
Premium aluminium pergolas with a motorised, adjustable louvred roof. Rotate the blades for sun, shade or a fully waterproof seal — and enjoy your garden every month of the year.
A Roof That Moves With You
A louvered pergola gives you something a fixed structure never can: total control of your outdoor space at the touch of a button. The aluminium roof is made of pivoting blades — louvres — that open to let the sun and breeze in, then close to seal out the rain.
Whether you spell it louvered or louvred, the result is the same: a premium aluminium pergola, supplied by Pirnar and built around the Grande model, that finally makes year-round outdoor living possible in the Irish climate.
How A Louvred Roof Works
Engineered aluminium blades, smart sensors and integrated lighting working together
Adjustable Aluminium Blades
The roof is built from extruded aluminium louvres (also spelled louvers) that pivot in unison. Tilt them open for full sun, angle them for dappled shade, or close them flat for a fully watertight seal — all from a single control.
Rotation Up To ~135°
Each blade rotates through roughly 135 degrees, giving you precise control over light, airflow and privacy. Open the louvres in summer for ventilation; close them in an Irish downpour without leaving your seat.
Rain & Wind Sensors
Integrated rain and wind sensors automatically close the louvred roof the moment the weather turns, protecting your furniture and keeping the space dry even when you are not at home.
Integrated LED & Drainage
Dimmable LED lighting is recessed into the frame for evening use, while concealed channels and downpipes drain rainwater away through the support posts — no visible guttering, no puddles.
Built For Day & Night
Dimmable LED lighting is recessed straight into the aluminium frame, so the space works just as well for a late dinner as it does for morning coffee. Add side screens, sliding glass walls or an infrared heater and the louvered pergola becomes a true outdoor room.
With rain and wind sensors closing the louvres automatically, you can leave the space set up and ready — confident it will protect itself the moment the Irish weather turns.
Why Choose A Louvered Pergola
Year-Round Outdoor Living
A louvered pergola turns your patio or garden into a usable room every month of the year. Open for sunshine, closed for shelter — Dublin's changeable weather stops dictating when you can sit outside.
On-Demand Light & Shade
Unlike a fixed glass roof or a static canopy, the rotating blades let you fine-tune exactly how much sun reaches the space throughout the day, reducing glare and heat build-up.
Weatherproof Protection
When the louvres close they form a sealed, sloped roof that sheds rain and stands up to coastal wind. Sensors handle sudden showers automatically so nothing gets soaked.
Adds Premium Property Value
A motorised aluminium louvered pergola from a premium supplier like Pirnar is a genuine architectural feature that lifts kerb appeal and the value of your Dublin home.
Why Premium Aluminium
The roof is only as good as the frame that carries it. We build exclusively in premium marine-grade aluminium because it is the only material that genuinely thrives in Dublin's coastal climate.

Louvered Pergola FAQs
What is a louvered pergola and how is it different from a normal pergola?
A louvered pergola (also spelled louvred pergola) has a roof made of adjustable aluminium blades, or louvres, instead of fixed timber slats or open beams. The blades rotate up to around 135 degrees so you can open them for sun and airflow or close them for a fully waterproof roof. A standard pergola has a fixed, often open roof, so it offers far less control over light and weather protection.
Is a louvered pergola fully waterproof in Irish weather?
Yes. When the aluminium louvres close they overlap to form a sealed, slightly sloped roof that channels rainwater into concealed drainage running through the posts. Integrated rain and wind sensors automatically close the blades the moment a shower starts, so the space stays dry even during a typical Dublin downpour and when you are not home.
Can the louvres be motorised and controlled remotely?
Yes. Our premium aluminium louvered pergolas are motorised as standard. You can rotate the blades, switch on the integrated LED lighting and override the sensors using a handheld remote or a smartphone app, giving you full control of light, shade and shelter from your chair or your phone.
How much does a louvered pergola cost in Dublin?
Louvered pergolas in Dublin typically range from about €6,000 to €20,000 depending on the size, the blade span, colour, and added options such as LED lighting, side screens, glass walls and heating. We provide a detailed, transparent quote after a free on-site consultation so you know exactly what is included.
What materials are used and will they last in coastal Dublin?
We use premium marine-grade, powder-coated aluminium from suppliers such as Pirnar. Aluminium does not rust, rot or warp, so it stands up to Dublin's damp and salt-laden coastal air with virtually no maintenance — an occasional clean is all that is needed, and the structure is engineered to last for decades.
Do I need planning permission for a louvered pergola in Dublin?
Many louvered pergolas fall within permitted development limits and do not require planning permission, but this depends on height, size, position relative to boundaries and whether your property is in a conservation area. We assess each site individually and will advise you and assist with any planning application if one is needed.
