Will a pergola make the house dark?

There are a lot of factors to take into consideration when planning for your pergola. A common concern is the amount of shade that’s provided, as if your pergola is constructed outside of a house window, there is potential for a room to feel too dark.

Fortunately, with Broadview’s Residential Shading Solutions, our pergola roofs will not make your house dark. We offer pergola roofs which open completely, meaning you can adjust the louvred roof based on sunlight exposure, thereby limiting the levels of shade around the rooms of your house.

The following Broadview pergolas are prime examples of how you can monitor the levels of shade and sunlight for your home. They are available in white (to reflect light away) and can be attached to or away from your house depending on how you want light to be beamed onto your home.

The B200/B200XL Pergola

The B200 and B200XL have an elegant frame design and are incredibly versatile, with a motorised and rotating louvred roof giving you the flexibility to allow different levels on sunlight and improve your outdoor space.



The B600 Pergola

The B600 offers a fully rotating, retractable louvred roof – perfect for those who wish to still expose their patio area to full sunlight, while also having plenty of options to adjust the amount of shade they need.
