Offered in both motorized and manual options, Palmiye USA pergolas not only bring visual appeal to your outdoor space but also create year-round comfort zones. Thanks to their adjustable louvered roof systems, you can control sunlight and airflow at the touch of a button.

These structures enrich your open-air lifestyle while adding architectural value to your property.

2. Winter Gardens: Year-Round Comfort, Indoors Meets Outdoors

These glass-enclosed structures turn your outdoor area into a seamless extension of your home. They stay warm and cozy during winter and bright and breezy during summer.

Thanks to advanced insulation technology, winter gardens offer energy efficiency, sound isolation, and protection from the elements. With panoramic glass panels, you’ll enjoy your view without compromise.

Benefits:

  • High insulation performance
  • Naturally lit, livable space
  • Adds lasting value to your home

Best for: Those who want to enjoy outdoor living year-round while enhancing their home's comfort and resale value.

Wall-mounted awnings—available in motorized or manual options—provide flexible shade while making your outdoor areas more usable.

Palmiye USA’s motorized awnings are ideal for blocking intense midday sun. When not in use, they can be easily retracted to let you enjoy the sky or surrounding landscape.

Made with premium imported fabrics, our awnings are fade-resistant and built to withstand water and UV rays. They’re also a smart choice for commercial settings, maximizing outdoor seating for cafes and restaurants.

Benefits:

  • Retractable for maximum flexibility
  • Full shading for wide spaces
  • Decorative fabric options for visual appeal

Keep in mind: Awnings should be retracted in extreme weather like strong winds or heavy rain. Quality materials and professional installation are key to longevity.

Pro Tips for Making the Right Choice

  • Consider your climate. Pergolas and glass systems are better suited for windy or rainy regions, while awnings are great for seasonal use.
  • Think about usage frequency. If you only plan to use the space occasionally, a cost-effective, simpler solution may be enough.
  • Choose long-term value. Permanent structures not only boost daily comfort but also increase property value.
