The pergola can be erected on footings using anchoring spikes or a concrete footing. However, if you are planning a winter garden (or turning your pergola into a winter garden in the future ), we recommend that you make at least a concrete foundation around the perimeter of the structure. The best solution is to prepare a concrete foundation with insulation in the floor. The foundation must be at least 5 cm larger on each side than the footprint of the pergola or winter garden.
It can, and that's assuming the winter garden structure will be detached.
It is necessary for aluminium construction, where it prevents the aluminium construction from freezing from the exterior to the interior. The thermally broken bridge is inserted into the profile as a thermal insulator in the form of a plastic insert. The thermally broken bridge is recommended for conservatories that are used and heated all year round.
If you have done all the necessary work on the foundation slab, we recommend using insulating glass in both the roof and the perimeter glazing.
If you are doing a slab foundation and you have the option of installing a heater in the garden for tempering and intermittent heating, we recommend that you also insulate the baseboards to break the thermal bridge from the exterior, as the floor is the most problematic point for heat leakage - it's where most of the cold is coming from. If you are considering a seasonal winter garden with insulating glass, the foundation strips make this possible. We recommend making an isolated baseboard if you plan to use the garden all year round.
For a winter garden, we recommend at least a concrete base around the perimeter of the roof structure, but the best solution is to prepare a concrete slab under the whole roof. The base must be at least 5 cm larger on each side than the plan of the conservatory with a minimum concrete thickness of 15 cm.
Yes, all systems are sliding in both directions. We can slide them to the right, left or centre for ventilation.
Filler types vary in price, durability and insulating properties. The different glazing systems in our range use different types of glazing (see glazing section). Insulating glass has the best thermal insulation properties, safety glass is the most resistant. Safety glass can be toughened or bonded - while toughened glass shatters into large pieces if damaged, bonded glass is virtually unbreakable and will crack at most if damaged. The cheapest option remains standard plain clear glass.
Standardised, mass-produced designs are understandably cheaper than ours, which are made to measure. However, there is a significant difference in the quality of workmanship and durability. Our core value is unrivalled statics and product durability. The constructions are strong even after years, they do not shake and do not bend, they last 20-30 years without the slightest problems. If you have the opportunity, test how cheap, mass produced constructions react to the weight of your body. Moreover, if you are looking for a custom structure, we are the leading manufacturer of aluminum structures in Slovakia.
Which model is better depends on how you want to use the pergola. For a carport, patio roofing or smaller pergolas, the cheaper Light model is sufficient for your requirements. Its disadvantage is that its side walls are not recommended to be glazed, as it has only one wall in the gutter and there is an increased risk of leakage through the screws. If you are thinking about the idea of glazing the pergola and turning it into a winter garden in the future, choose the Robust or Massive model. These are also the best choice if you need a really massive, virtually indestructible structure. Last but not least, consider the aesthetic aspect when making your choice - will the aesthetic, proportionally balanced Robust pergola gutter with one extra stand fit the space better, or the massive lines of the Massive pergola gutter, where you don't need a stand for the 7.5 m width?
No. Our constructions have the highest standard for the quality of the material finish. Climbing plants for pergolas are no burden.
Even with the professional use of core drills, there is a risk that a poorly taped pavement will crack. We recommend keeping a few pieces of paving as replacements in case of replacement.
We assemble the winter garden in two stages. In the first stage we assemble the pergola, where we also measure the dimensions of the perimeter glazing after assembly. Then, after production, we will come to assemble the glazing.
If the built-up area does not exceed 25 m2 and the height is less than 5 m, pergolas and winter gardens are classified as small buildings that perform an additional function and do not need a zoning decision or a building permit, it is sufficient to notify the municipality, which under the Building Act exercises the jurisdiction of the building authority (the so-called notification to the building authority). You only need a building permit if the building exceeds a floor area of 25 m2 or if it is a building for business purposes.
All of our products are made exactly to measure, to meet our customer's specific requirements. We are manufacturers of all parts, so if there is a technical solution to your problem, we will find it and implement it.
Yes, at MontAlu we provide a comprehensive solution for the implementation of your project. We will take care of everything from the design of the structure and statics, arrange transportation and even the final installation of the product. Unlike most of our competitors, we assess both the glass load and static snow load for each product to ensure your product will last for decades. Your job is simply an initial survey, from which we will create a price offer and finally final acceptance of the finished project.
Usually the installation takes around 1 day, for larger projects it may take longer.
The waiting time for our products is usually between 6-10 weeks. The exact time depends on the complexity of the job, as we treat each order individually.
Yes, we offer 3 types of awnings: Xline, Xlight and Zipline.
Standard colours are anthracite (RAL 7016), white (RAL 9016), grey (RAL 9006) and brown (RAL 8003). All colours are in a fine texture finish, which gives the structure not only a nicer look but also practicality thanks to its greater resistance to scratches. As we have our own powder coating plant, we can paint the profiles in any RAL colour according to the customer's requirements.
All systems are equally reliable and time-tested. The important thing is that you choose the right product for you. The big plus of frameless glazing is that it does not interfere with the architectural features of the building and does not change its external appearance. However, the frameless system has a greater sealing capacity and is therefore the more common choice of our customers.
Thanks to the reinforcements that we supply to the roof of the structure as needed, we can improve the overall strength and load-bearing capacity of our conservatories, and therefore it is not a problem to install the conservatory in higher areas.
In general, glass has an advantage mainly in maintenance and durability. While polycarbonate has a natural tendency to change colour over time, mould, etc. Among other things, insulating glass naturally has better insulating properties.

The height of the overlay has only aesthetic differences. A higher pool cover understandably interferes more with the panorama of your garden, is more expensive, but at the same time you can swim under it and in case of bad weather also relax, store sun loungers and other necessities by the pool.
Roofing is manufactured in standard lengths from 3000 to 6000 mm internal width for STAR and from 3000 to 5750 mm internal width for KLASIK. We can also produce the section lengths in a shortened version for an additional charge. We can individually adapt to everyone.

This is a downright design difference in terms of unobstructed views from the pergola or winter garden. Frameless glazing is without vertical profiles, instead of which transparent PVC strips are used, which minimally disturb the aesthetics and view. In terms of functionality, frameless systems have lower resistance to rain and lower insulation properties in high winds.
For greater resistance to rain and wind, we recommend a frame system with single glazing in combination with insulating glass for areas with variable weather and the possibility of extending the season. If you use this glazing combination in a winter garden, for example, you can extend the season in lower-lying areas for almost the whole winter at minimal cost.
Robust system with 24 mm insulating glass.
Due to the use of aluminum construction and higher durability (20/30 years), we do not recommend putting this material, whose functional life is about 10 years. From an aesthetic point of view, its service life is even lower.
The following models are suitable for the balcony, in order from cheapest: Standard, Lux, Delux with 6 mm tempered glass. For the terrace, Standard Plus and Slide, where the 6 mm glass or insulating 16 mm glass can be used. Robust glazing with 24 mm insulating glass has the best thermal insulation properties.
Due to the higher weight and wing size of the Robust and Slide systems, they include a solid rail with a height of up to 45 mm. For this reason, the drainage system in the track is formed at the bottom of the track, which, provided that a pre-fit for the water drainage is built, allows this system to be recessed up to 25 mm.

No, thanks to its specific properties and various finishes, aluminium is the best choice for the exterior and is almost maintenance-free.
The lifespan of the paint is usually 20 to 30 years. The guaranteed colour fastness is 10 years, after which a minor loss of colour can be expected - around 5% in 10 years.

Top shading is preferable and more effective, bottom shading is recommended only in cases where top shading cannot be installed.
Yes, we recommend cleaning it with a non-contact, high-pressure cleaner and from a reasonable distance.
Yes, but it is not necessary. The shade canvas is removable, but it is designed for the outdoors so that it will survive the winter retracted in the box. Likewise, you should retract the canvas in the event of heavy rain or wind.
Shading can be controlled manually, by motor using a switch, using a smartphone and an app from the corresponding manufacturer, or even by remote control. Included in the price of our control system is the so-called IO motor, which allows the use of a smart app and protection sensors.
Shading can be ordered with accessories such as a wind sensor, which usually in combination with rain signals bad weather and the shading automatically hides in the box.
