The Benefits of a Shadescape Pergola Compared to a Louvre System
When it comes to enhancing your outdoor space there are many options in New Zealand. The choice of pergola can make a significant difference in functionality, aesthetics, and overall satisfaction. Among the many options available, Shadescape pergolas stand out as a superior choice compared to traditional louvre systems. Here’s why:

1. Natural Light and Ambiance
One of the main drawbacks of louvre systems is that they tend to darken your area. Louvres are designed to provide shade, but they often do so at the expense of natural light, creating a dim and uninviting space. Louvres generally sit level with your existing gutter line which means it can make the space feel enclosed.
In contrast, a Shadescape pergola offers excellent natural light to your area. Our pergolas make the area feel much more open and inviting. The feedback we receive from our clients is that during the Winter months they want as much light as possible in their homes and in the Summer they want the ability to have shade during the day. With the addition of our horizontal shade to your pergola it gives you the option for both shade and maximum light. We design your pergola to match the way you want to live outdoors creating a bright, welcoming space that enhances your outdoor living experience.
2. Versatility and Customization

Louvre systems are generally less customizable than a Shadescape pergola. They often come in standard sizes and designs, which may not suit your specific needs or aesthetic preferences. Additionally, louvres tend to always be shut, limiting your ability to adapt the space to changing weather conditions or personal preferences.
Shadescape pergolas, on the other hand, are highly versatile and customizable. We offer a wide range of designs, materials, and colors to match your unique style and requirements. Whether you need a small pergola for a cozy patio or a large structure for a spacious garden, Shadescape can create a solution tailored to your exact specifications.

3. Cost-Effectiveness
Another significant downside of louvre systems is their cost. Louvres are typically expensive to purchase and install, making them a less attractive option for budget-conscious homeowners. The high cost can be particularly prohibitive if you need a large or complex installation.
