SDL Alerio

A modern design with timeless elegance

Overview

SDL Alerio glass canopy

Slender and delicate-looking - outdoor living with protection from the weather

Solarlux modern glass roof canopies, made from premium sustainable aluminium and available in 30 colours as standard, fit perfectly to any property's architecture and provide reliable shelter from the rain overhead.

The SDL Alerio aluminium glass canopy has internal structural members which lend it a particularly striking appearance and give a seamless external flat roof surface. Its aluminium profiles can be used to build incredibly delicate-looking constructions, with a monopitch roof pitched between 5° and 20°, standalone or attached.

With the addition of slide-and-turn panels to form side walls, a glass canopy can be transformed into a striking glass house. These glass panels can be fully closed for protection from the wind and rain, or conveniently stacked into the corner to open out the whole area in good weather.

Solar protection: high-quality awnings offer perfect sun protection, installed on top, vertical or as an under glass awning. Lighting: built-in LED spotlights provide atmosphere and ambience. Radiant heater: the Heatscope™ designer radiant heater keeps you cosy and warm with modern infrared technology. Control system: the innovative control system enables you to control your awning and lighting wirelessly.
