The art of Italian outdoor living
Today, even in Quebec’s climate, it’s possible to recreate this refined, warm atmosphere thanks to Ombrasole pergolas, designed to combine Italian design with resistance to the rigors of the Canadian climate.
At Ombrasole, this is precisely our mission: to transform your Quebec patio into an authentic living space inspired by the Italian dolce vita, thanks to carefully designed bioclimatic pergolas, motorized awnings and motorized curtains.
Italian style: elegance, comfort and a link with nature
Italian design is renowned the world over for its ability to combine elegance and functionality. When it comes to outdoor furnishings, this translates into clean lines, high-quality materials and attention to detail.
Here are the key elements for integrating this art of living into your garden or terrace:
1. Products that speak for themselves
An Ombrasole pergola is never simply decorative. It is designed to create a pleasant shaded space while integrating harmoniously with the architecture of your home. Materials play a crucial role here:
– Extruded aluminum: lightweight, robust and weather-resistant.
– Waterproof vinyl fabric: ideal for blocking UV rays and rain.
– Motorization: for easy control of curtains, slats and retractable roof.
2. Sophisticated modularity
The Mediterranean climate changes rapidly, just as it does in Quebec. That’s why it’s so important to be able to adapt your outdoor space to the time of day:
– Adjustable slats to manage natural light.
–Motorized curtains for added privacy and protection.
-Insect screens integrated into the roof (exclusive to Ombrasole) for uncompromising comfort.
3. A space for living, not just decorating
An Italian-style patio designed for everyday living:
– Dining under the pergola
– Outdoor living space with soft lighting
– Possibility of integrating a heater for cooler evenings
– A garden of fresh herbs at your fingertips
Adapting Mediterranean aesthetics to the Canadian climate
Contrary to what you might think, Italian design adapts very well to the Montreal context, provided you choose the right materials and configurations.
Ombrasole’s products are designed locally in Montreal, taking into account:
– Debris accumulation
– High winds and thunderstorms
– Extreme temperature variations throughout the year
Our products are tested and guaranteed to withstand these conditions, while maintaining an elegant aesthetic reminiscent of the finest Tuscan villas.
Please note: our pergolas require a little of seasonal maintenance. They do not need to be dismantled in winter.
