Some people don’t consider the option of a pergola roof made from recycled plastic because they fear it will look like an unsightly mess and, furthermore, that the outdoor pergola cover won’t last long. Nothing could be further from the truth! That’s why more and more customers are choosing to cover their pergolas with a material that combines the best properties for creating ideal pergola roofs. So it’s no surprise that innovative pergola covers are gaining ground, winning over more and more people.
When comparing traditional clay tile pergola roofs with innovative pergola covers, you can see countless differences, with pergola covering materials like recycled plastic winning hands down, as we’ll see in detail.
Let’s start our comparison with what’s most striking about garden pergola roofs: appearance. It’s understandable that customers are very concerned about the visual result when it comes to pergola roofing. A beautiful pergola can be a very attractive element to an outdoor space and can transform a garden or terrace into a more complete space where the elements blend into a harmonious whole. In this sense, a pergola roof made of recycled plastic, for example, is on par with a pergola roof built with clay tiles.
The shape and color of pergolas covered with plastic tiles mimic traditional roof tiles so precisely and convincingly that the difference in material is barely perceptible.
Some products, such as the Roofeco modular roof system, have been even more ambitious and perfectionist: using a patented anchoring system, their pergola cover doesn’t have a single visible screw on its entire surface. So when it comes to the appearance of an innovative pergola roof, it has not the slightest disadvantage compared to a traditional pergola cover. Quite the contrary: while clay pergola roofs require a heavy structure to support them, newer, lighter pergola covering materials can be left uncovered underneath. This feature not only saves time and money but also has the advantage of a charming rustic appearance that adds personality to the pergola roof.
Before going into the technical details, it’s worth emphasizing another visual aspect of innovative pergola roofs that is not only attractive but also highly practical. These roofs allow for the incorporation of transparent pergola roofs into their surfaces. Some systems, such as the Roofeco System, even allow for the completely free combination of colored tiles with translucent tiles. It goes without saying that the advantages of a transparent pergola roof need not be mentioned: the covered space and even the adjacent interior gain light and freshness. This is undoubtedly a major plus for a pergola roof.
The aesthetics of pergola roofs made with materials such as recycled plastic are still far surpassed by their technical characteristics and ease of installation, as we will see below. In a novel pergola roof, elegance and quality go hand in hand. On the one hand, the thickness of the plastic tiles is noteworthy, often exceeding customer expectations: at 5 mm thick, this pergola cover is far from a flimsy sheet metal. And the strength and solidity of a pergola roof of this type offers some of the most compelling advantages compared to pergolas covered with clay tiles. On the one hand, this outdoor pergola cover can be walked on during installation, and on the other, it is hail-resistant, an increasingly important aspect in our changing climate. However, it is still a much lighter material than conventional tiles, so it doesn’t require heavy structures to support it. Furthermore, these garden pergola roofs withstand hurricane-strength winds: you can rest assured that your pergola roof will remain in place even if every rooftop in the neighborhood is blown away.

The world of DIY excites a large number of people; more and more are encouraged to create something with their own hands, and making the dream of designing and building a pergola roof a reality is within anyone’s reach if innovative pergola covering materials are used. These pergola covers are not designed as small, loose tiles, but as a complete system, with panels that cover larger surfaces without losing manageability and with all the necessary accessories. What’s more, some pergola roof manufacturers, such as Roofeco, have patented an anchoring system that allows for comfortable and intuitive installation in no time. On the one hand, their pergola covers facilitate installation, which can be done without specialized knowledge, and, on the other hand, they prevent any type of leak, whether water or dirt, thanks to the screws hidden under an overlap. One could argue that panels of these sizes are a disadvantage for garden pergola roof surfaces, but nothing could be further from the truth: a pergola roof made of recycled plastic can be cut to any size and angle, and it can even adapt to curved surfaces thanks to its slight flexibility. So, in this regard, it also far surpasses pergolas covered with brittle clay tiles.
But the features that tip the scales in favor of an outdoor pergola cover made of an alternative material don’t end there: thanks to the composition of innovative pergola roofs, the material doesn’t absorb moisture. Thus, mold can’t grow on the surface of pergolas covered with recycled plastic. Even more importantly, the material doesn’t crack in the face of frost: a pergola roof of this type requires no maintenance whatsoever, and that’s with a 20-year warranty during which it won’t even fade!
Finally, covering pergolas with innovative materials also helps reduce their ecological footprint. It uses recycled plastics that can be recycled, thus contributing to the circular economy, and produces fewer emissions during the manufacturing process than a clay pergola cover.
As seen in this point-by-point comparison, a pergola roof covered with alternative and innovative materials outperforms a conventional clay pergola roof in every aspect analyzed: aesthetics, technical properties, ease of installation, durability, environmental friendliness, and so on.
Investing in the future by using alternative pergola covering materials has never been easier, yet yielding such compelling results.
