Not all Pergola louvers are alike!
Sundance - Made in the USA
Not all pergola louvers are built the same.
Knowing the difference will help you specify the right product for your clients.
Important things to know are:
- Snow Load Capacity: The thickness and design of the louvers significantly impact how much snow the pergola can bear. Since snow loads vary by location, it's crucial to choose a pergola with louvers that meet or exceed your local building codes to ensure safety and structural integrity during winter.
- Compliance with Building Codes: Different towns, cities, and states have distinct building codes regarding snow loads for structures like louvered roof pergolas. Selecting a pergola that complies with these codes ensures it meets the required standards for your area.
- Resilience to High Winds: The design of the louver also plays a vital role in withstanding high-wind storms. Opt for a pergola with a robust louver design that can withstand strong winds (120mph in the closed position) without compromising its stability or functionality.
- Winter Use Considerations: Depending on the strength of the louvers, some pergolas may need to remain open throughout winter or during inclement weather to prevent damage from snow accumulation or high winds. Consider how you plan to use the pergola year-round and choose accordingly.
- Sundance Louver Superiority: Sundance louvers are renowned for their strength and durability. With a double-wall design and reinforcement in two locations, they can withstand heavier snow loads and high winds compared to other brands.
Additionally, Sundance louvers can handle more rainwater, making them suitable for various weather conditions.
