Terrace comfort in all seasons: how hospitality operators can make a difference with Brustor

Outdoor dining has long been an integral part of the hospitality industry. Guests attach increasing importance to experience and comfort, even on the terrace. This is a challenge for restaurateurs: how do you offer an optimal dining experience, regardless of sun, wind or rain? The solution lies in smart terrace covers that combine protection and coziness.

Technology in the service of hospitality

The Brustor B200XL patio canopy with slat roof is ideally designed with the hospitality industry in mind. Thanks to the tilting slats, operators always find the right balance between sun and shade, ventilation or shelter from light rain. The integrated screens block wind, small insects and low sun without blocking the view.

Thanks to its modular design, each individually packaged canopy can easily be placed side by side. Ideal for hospitality businesses looking to expand their capacity with a uniform, elegant solution. With options such as LED lighting integrated into the slats and patio heating, the patio becomes a full-fledged outdoor space that can accommodate guests year-round.

In addition to the B200XL, Brustor also offers the B250XL, a slat roof characterized by an even sleeker design and fully integrated finishing of slats, gutters and screens. This version puts extra emphasis on aesthetics and minimalism, without sacrificing comfort or functionality. This makes both models ideal for hospitality businesses looking for a durable, flexible and stylish patio solution.

Kwizien Maldegem: an all-weather patio

Ellen and Thomas, owners of restaurant Kwizien in Maldegem, wanted to weatherproof their terrace while enhancing the style of their business. Together with dealer D'hooge, they chose six Brustor B200XL pergolas with slatted roof and integrated screens, LED lighting and 26 patio heaters.

The result is an attractive terrace that increases the restaurant's capacity by 33%. Guests enjoy their meal longer and more comfortably, regardless of the season. "Guests arrive and really have a wow feeling," says hostess Ellen. "They experience it as very nice seating, both on colder days, light rainy days and in very hot weather."

More than additional tables

For Kwizien, it's about more than just more seats. It's about investing in experience and hospitality. The tilting slats provide cooling in the summer, while the patio heating and LED lighting in the slats provide warmth and atmosphere in the winter. This keeps the terrace a favorite spot for guests, regardless of the weather. "The slats can be tilted 130° so you can point them toward or against the sun," Valentine D'hooge explains. "That way you respond perfectly to the guests' needs."

The power of collaboration

The cooperation between Brustor and dealer D'hooge guarantees quality and reliability. "We are very satisfied with this collaboration," says Francky Deprez, Account Manager at Brustor. "It shows once again how the Brustor range can really make a difference also in the hospitality sector, where availability and service are crucial."

Conclusion

Terrace covers are not a luxury in the hospitality industry, but a strategic choice. They offer comfort and experience for the guest and profitability for the manager. The case of Kwizien proves how the Brustor B200XL allows hospitality operators to take their capacity and hospitality to a higher level.
