Questions about glass pergola

Although the use of a glass canopy on a pergola is common, there are many questions about this combination. With this in mind, we have listed the main doubts on the subject and clarified each of them below, so that you can be sure that this piece is ideal for your space!

  • What is the best type of glass? Laminated glass is the most indicated for pergola coverings, because it has PVB (polyvinyl butyral) film in its composition, guaranteeing that the glass will be "united" and will not break if it breaks. In addition to safety, laminated glass is indicated for its durability, protection against ultraviolet rays, translucency, and acoustic comfort.
  • How much does it cost? A glass canopy costs on average R$200/m², but the price of the entire pergola will depend on the size, labor, and material used in the structure, such as wood or aluminum. A wood pergola with glass, for example, can cost from R$400.00 to 750.00/m².
  • Does the Pergola with glass get hot? Glass heats up the environment, because it is exposed all day long to solar radiation, but it is possible to have thermal comfort. In this case, the ideal is to opt for glass that has undergone reflective treatment or solar protection, because this way they can control the heat that is transmitted into the space.
  • Does the part need maintenance? Yes, mainly to keep the glass roof clean. Rainwater naturally cleans off the roof, but regular cleaning with water, neutral detergent, and a soft sponge that does not scratch the glass is necessary. This task can be done every four months.

As you can see, glass is a great choice for your pergola, because it has long durability, provides safety, acoustic and thermal comfort, when the right piece is used.
