Hospitality businesses quickly recoup investment in a patio cover.

Every hospitality operator does their best to generate as much revenue as possible. To do this, they need to receive many guests and have them enjoy themselves in the best conditions, preferably all year round. Expanding the existing area with a cozy outdoor space helps. Pallazzo's patio covers and slatted roofs based on slim but robust aluminum profiles offer an ideal solution.

"Market research showed that demand for canopies in the hospitality industry continues to increase," says general manager Erwin Dujardin. "Hospitality meters are expensive and a covered terrace is an ideal solution to accommodate more customers without fear of excessive solar heat, cold, wind or rain. A patio cover may take a big bite out of the budget, but such a functional and cozy outdoor space also pays for itself quickly."

Glass or slatted roof

Pallazzo has a suitable slatted roof or an ideal patio cover for every hospitality application. Moreover, the range is continuously expanded and optimized. After all, since the specialist carries out as much as possible in-house, they can respond quickly and flexibly to questions and trends. Thus with the LOUNGE® they offer a slat roof with a modern and sleek design, which can be mounted against the facade or freestanding. The tilting slats can be rotated 135°, allowing one to control light, shade and ventilation at will. Thanks to the extremely high strength and robust finish of the slats, dimensions up to 6000 x 4000 mm are perfectly feasible. 

"Our SQOPE® is a cubic glass canopy with roof beams that lie straight and are integrated into the structure, thus not visible from the outside. The large glass surfaces provide plenty of natural light and transparency. Thanks to innovative technologies, it is possible to create canopies with free spans of up to 7000 mm and depths of up to 4500 mm. This allows the space to be arranged freely and provides an unobstructed view," says product manager Michael Pijnenborgh. 

"However, we received increasing demand for a cheaper alternative, but with the well-known Pallazzo quality. Our new XLR is characterized by a rock-solid construction and reinforced gutter to realize canopies with spans up to 6000 mm wide and 4000 mm deep, with only two uprights. The double-walled gutter makes it possible to integrate sliding walls aesthetically. Thanks to the clever integration of the sliding rail into the structure, the sleek character is retained."

Protection from the vagaries of nature

This XLR is based on the proven concept of the XL, a terrace roof with sloping glass roof, which, like the 150 SL and XL Aventa, is especially attractive in terms of price. All these patio covers are delivered to dealers in Europe to the millimeter. 

"Moreover, thanks to our canopies, one can enjoy the terrace in optimal conditions all year round. When it gets dark, high-quality LED lighting creates a warm atmosphere and coziness. Flowzz® screens keep out unnecessary solar heat, protect furniture from discoloration and limit views. The sliding glass wall Invigo Pro® also provides additional comfort by protecting against wind and rain, without losing transparency and views of the garden," Dujardin concludes. "Our most recent innovation is the Louvante®, an aluminum sliding wall with rotatable horizontal slats. This can easily be mounted in front of large glass panes in a hospitality business to control light and views. Whatever the application, we always have a solution."
