The same scenario repeats every summer. The temperatures outside sometimes exceed 35 degrees Celsius, and you are racking your brains in vain trying to work out how not to feel like boiled chicken at home.

We have launched the ARTOSI Bioclimatic Pergola in May 2019. Over time, we have received a number of suggestions from our business partners as well as you – our customers. We have therefore innovated the original design and function of the bioclimatic pergola and added further products like ARTOSI GLASS panels, ALFA and ALFA PLUS screen roller shutters to the box size 110 (the box size 150 is now in development). The structural design of the ARTOSI pergola provided a basis for a new product, the ARTOSI CARPORT.
