Pergolas

Architectural Metal Pergolas

Custom-Fabricated Louvered Roofs & Landscape Walkways | XYC Metalworks

Architectural Custom Metal Pergolas are landscape features that define and activate outdoor space. Comprising vertical columns and an open, louvered roof, they create elegant shaded walkways, tranquil courtyards, and sophisticated “outdoor rooms.” At XYC Metalworks, we specialize in the custom fabrication of high-end metal pergolas such as PVD coated color stainless steel pergolas and  architectural aluminum pergolas with powder coated, engineered from durable aluminum and premium stainless steel. Our distinct expertise lies in crafting Modern Chinese-Style landscape corridors, featuring louvered roof systems, realistic wood-grain aluminum finishes, and premium materials like hairline brushed PVD coated bronze stainless steel.

Product Features

Custom Louvered Roof Systems: Our core feature. We fabricate pergolas with fixed horizontal or angled louvered roofs (or baffles), perfectly designed for shade while remaining open to the air. We also specialize in complex curved louver systems.

Mastery of Materials & Finishes: We are specialists in high-end metal finishes, including:

Wood-Grain Aluminum: The timeless look of timber with the durability of metal.

PVD Coated Stainless Steel: For ultimate luxury, in finishes like Hairline Brushed Bronze and Sandblasted Antique Bronze.

Powder Coated Aluminum: For any custom RAL color.

Bespoke Design & Features: We are not a kit company. We fabricate custom structures, including iconic Moon Gate (circular) openings, fluted wall panels, and integrated decorative side screens.

Durable & Low-Maintenance: Our metal pergolas are engineered to be permanent architectural structures. They are rust-proof, pest-proof, and will not warp or rot like traditional wood.

Integrated Systems: Our designs can seamlessly incorporate provisions for integrated LED lighting, hanging lanterns, and other functional elements.

Applications

Our custom pergolas are designed to create defined outdoor spaces:

Landscape Walkways & Corridors: Creating elegant, shaded passages through a garden or connecting buildings.

Courtyard Enclosures: Framing a central courtyard, zen garden, or water feature to create a private “outdoor room.”

Outdoor Seating & Dining: Providing a permanent, shaded structure for restaurant patios, hotel lounges, and residential terraces.

Architectural Shade Structures: Used in public and commercial spaces as modern, functional shade elements.

Material Options

Material Type

Characteristics

Applications

Aluminum Alloy

Pros: Lightweight, rust-proof, extremely low maintenance. The perfect base for realistic Wood-Grain Finishes.

 

Cons: Softer than steel.

Most pergola applications, especially louvered roofs, Chinese-style walkways, and wood-grain designs.

Stainless Steel (304 / 316L)

Pros: High strength, premium aesthetic, ideal for high-end PVD finishes (like bronze). 316L is for coastal use.

 

Cons: Heavier, higher cost.

Luxury projects, structural posts, areas requiring a premium metallic finish.

Customization & Design

We build to your exact specifications. Whether it’s a long, winding Pergola Walkway based on a landscape plan or a Symmetrical Courtyard Pergola based on an architectural drawing, we provide full fabrication solutions. We can adapt our louver density, column design, and side screens to meet your precise aesthetic and shade requirements. We are specialists in realizing complex designs like curved louvered roofs and structural moon gates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A: The primary difference lies in the roof structure. Custom metal pergolas feature an open-louvered or trellised roof designed for partial shade and architectural effect. In contrast, a canopy has a solid, non-transparent roof intended for full protection from rain and sun.

A: For most landscape applications, aluminum is superior because it is lightweight, rust-proof, and the ideal base for wood-grain finishes. PVD coated color stainless steel pergolas are preferred for high-end luxury projects requiring a premium metallic aesthetic (like bronze) or exceptional structural strength.

A: We specialize in fabricating fixed louvered systems because they are the most durable and architecturally clean. However, upon request, we can engineer our pergola frames to integrate third-party motorized or operable louver systems.

A: We use a two-step process: first, the aluminum is powder-coated with a base color. Then, a wood-grain pattern is permanently transferred onto the metal using heat and pressure (sublimation). The result is a UV-resistant finish that will not rot, warp, or fade like traditional wood.

A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) creates a fused metallic layer that is extremely hard and durable. A “PVD Bronze” finish provides the rich color of antique bronze while maintaining the strength of steel, making it the most premium finish available for custom metal pergolas.

A: The iconic circular Moon Gate is laser-cut for precision and integrated directly into the wall panels. We reinforce the opening with a rolled steel or aluminum ring to ensure the entire structure remains rigid and sound.

A: Metal pergolas are engineered as permanent architectural structures. Unlike wood, they are rust-proof, pest-proof, and will not warp or rot over time, providing a much higher long-term return on investment with minimal maintenance.

A: Yes, we thrive on complex challenges. We specialize in realizing intricate designs, including curved louvered roof systems and long, winding landscape corridors based on detailed architectural blueprints.

A: Our pergola columns are anchored securely by bolting an internal base plate directly to a concrete footing or structural deck. A decorative outer sleeve then slides over the structural post for a clean, seamless look.

A: Yes. For Architectural Aluminum Pergolas with powder coated finishes, we can match any custom RAL color to meet your specific design palette. This allows for complete aesthetic freedom in corporate, hospitality, or residential settings.
