Located on the roof terrace of a premium hotel in the centre of Mannheim (Germany), the ROOF Bar offers its guests a spacious outdoor eating area with a view of the whole city. This exceptional space has been further developed with the specific aim of allowing even more flexible use. This has resulted in a custom-planned sun shading and weather protection solution from WAREMA that combines design, guest comfort and longer use of the roof terrace despite the challenging structural conditions.

Beneath the Lamaxa L50 slat roof , guests at the ROOF Bar enjoy an unobstructed view over Mannheim. The slats, which can be controlled flexibly, and vertical easyZIP awnings create the right balance of sun, shade and openness depending on the weather.

The new sun shading and weather protection solution from WAREMA significantly expands the use of the ROOF Bar Mannheim and creates a comfortable outdoor area – even in the evenings and colder seasons.

The four-part unit with the Lamaxa L50 blends in harmoniously with the roof terrace architecture, combining design, comfort and flexible weather protection.

Lateral front-mounted awnings with easyZIP guidance provide additional protection on the roof terrace against low-lying sun, wind and rain.

The existing Perea pergola awnings were incorporated into the new sun shading and weather protection concept to conserve resources. After being professionally shortened, they were moved to the narrow side of the terrace.

The reuse of the existing Perea P40 pergola awnings created a precisely integrated shading solution for seating that ensures a pleasant and comfortable visit without changing the open architecture of the roof terrace.

Eight dimmable radiant heaters coated in the special colour “medium bronze” extend the amount of time for which the outdoor area can be used, even in cooler temperatures.

Subtly integrated into the slats and beams, the LED lighting creates a pleasant ambience on the roof terrace in the evenings.

The series-mounted Lamaxa L50 Line was installed on the existing steel beams with the help of special plates and powder-coated in the special colour “medium bronze” – coordinated with the existing window profiles.

The best possible use of available open spaces for serving guests is an important success factor for food establishment owners. Because more and more people prefer sitting outside at restaurants - regardless of the season. The installation of a high-grade sun shading and weather protection system is often indispensable here.
