Frequently asked questions
Can I override the sensors?
Yes — every automation is overridable from the remote or app. Sensors are the default behaviour, not a lock.
Does it come with heating and lighting?
LED downlights are integrated in the blades as standard. Infrared heater tracks are a small upgrade — most Harrogate installs take them.
What does 'bioclimatic' actually mean for a Harrogate pergola?
It means the roof and screens respond automatically to weather. Blades track the sun; sensors close the roof for rain; heaters trigger on temperature. The pergola manages itself around North Yorkshire weather without you supervising it.
Is it worth the extra cost over a manual louvred pergola in Harrogate?
For customers who aren't home during the day, yes. The sensors close the roof against a rain shower you'd otherwise miss. colder than West Yorkshire by 1-2°C on average; toughened solar-control glass repays itself in shoulder seasons, so unattended weather-response is worth more here than in a drier climate.
How long does the install take?
Two to three days on site for a residential Harrogate install. Commercial spans and ground-fixed frames run longer depending on base work.
