Wall-mounted and freestanding versions can be combined with side elements, lighting, radiant heaters and smart controls.
Lamaxa roof systems offer different ways to combine sun shading, weather protection and architectural design. Rotating or retractable aluminium louvres regulate light and ventilation. Glass and fabric versions provide alternatives for different requirements.

An aluminium patio cover provides a stable, low-maintenance structure for long-term outdoor use. Adjustable or retractable louvres let you regulate sunlight and ventilation. Integrated drainage and suitable side elements provide additional protection in changeable weather.
A freestanding patio cover creates a sheltered area independently of the house wall, for example in the garden or beside a pool. Choose a louvred, glass or fabric roof and add side panels, lighting or heating to suit the location and intended use.
A glass patio cover provides permanent protection from rain while retaining an open, light-filled feel. Internal or external shading helps control heat and glare. Side elements, lighting and heating allow the glass veranda to be adapted to how you use the patio.
Find answers to common questions about patio cover types, planning, costs, weather protection and maintenance.
The right patio cover depends on the location, the required weather protection and how you want to use the space. A louvred pergola regulates sunlight and ventilation using adjustable louvres. A glass patio cover provides permanent rain protection and retains daylight. Pergola and patio awnings offer retractable fabric shading, while a shade sail provides flexible protection from direct sunlight.
A specialised retailer will assess the installation situation and help you select a suitable system.
WAREMA patio covers are individually planned and made to measure in Germany. Dimensions, colours, roof type, controls and accessories can be coordinated with the architecture and intended use. Qualified specialised retailers provide advice, take measurements and carry out professional installation. Registered products are also covered by the applicable WAREMA manufacturer warranty.
The price of a patio cover depends on its type, dimensions, installation and equipment. A louvred or glass roof has different planning requirements from a patio awning or shade sail. Side elements, lighting, radiant heaters and smart controls also affect the price. A specialised retailer can prepare a quotation based on your chosen configuration and installation situation.
A made-to-measure patio cover is planned for the available space, the architecture and the intended use. Dimensions, colours and equipment can be coordinated instead of relying on standard sizes. Professional planning also takes account of fixing points, drainage, wind exposure and, where relevant, local snow loads.
A closed louvred roof or glass patio cover provides protection from rain from above. Defined snow loads are possible depending on the model, dimensions and installation. The applicable requirements must be checked during planning.
Selected pergola awnings also provide rain protection. Other fabric awnings and shade sails are primarily designed for sun shading and should be retracted in unsuitable weather. Product-specific operating instructions must always be followed.
The required cleaning depends on the material, location and environmental conditions. Regular care helps maintain the appearance, drainage and mechanical functions of the patio cover.
Awnings: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Clean frames and covers with water and a suitable mild cleaning agent. Allow the fabric to dry completely before retracting it.
Louvred roofs: Remove leaves and other debris with a soft brush. Clean the aluminium components with lukewarm water, a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth. Rinse with a garden hose and keep the drainage channels clear. Do not use pressure washers or aggressive cleaners.
Shade sails: Remove loose dirt carefully and clean the fabric according to the product instructions. Let the sail dry completely before rolling it up or storing it.
Visit a WAREMA Sunlight Experience Centre or contact a specialised retailer for individual planning and a quotation. The retailer checks the installation situation, takes the required measurements and coordinates professional installation. Service remains available after purchase.
