Manual Louvre Roof — Budget
Bioclimatic louvre pergola with hand crank — the ideal low-maintenance terrace cover without electrical connection. The 170×43mm aluminium louvre blades adjust steplessly from 0° to 120°: open for fresh air and stargazing, half-open for pleasant dappled shade, or closed for reliable rain protection with integrated drainage. Powder-coated aluminium in any RAL colour. Freestanding or wall-mounted installation. 60 kg/m² snow load capacity for year-round use — your new outdoor living room.

The Luxa 500M adds motorised convenience to the proven Luxa 500 manual frame. A compact tubular motor replaces the hand crank, providing single-button blade rotation via infrared remote control. The motor housing is fully concealed within the column profile — no external motor boxes.
Maximum module: 5,500 mm × 4,000 mm. 230V motor with 12 Nm torque. Compatible with Somfy Smoove wall switch. Ideal for projects that require motorisation on a budget — the 500M costs approximately 25% less than the fully-featured 700 series while delivering the same waterproofing and build quality.

APPLICATIONS
All the convenience of motorised louvre control at approximately 25% less than the fully-featured Luxa 700. Press the remote to adjust shade — no crank turning needed. The motor housing is concealed within the column.
The compact tubular motor delivers the same smooth blade rotation as higher-end models. Compatible with Somfy Smoove wall switch for a fixed control point.
Motorised operation is important for hospitality — staff can't spend time cranking pergola blades between serving tables. The 500M provides one-button control at a price point suitable for independent cafés and bars.
Upgrade path: the 500M frame accepts all Luxa 700 accessories (LED, heating, speakers) if the venue wants to enhance the installation later.
For restaurants, hotels and shopping centres.
