Gibus Med Twist soon on Display at our Showroom
Samson Awnings will have one of the largest displays of retractable roof systems in the UK very shortly and the Gibus Med Twist is a featured product for the future of outdoor living.
The new bioclimatic Med Twist pergola system is an ideal solution for outdoor living, bringing maximum comfort with minimum effort when used, providing a unique and natural feeling underneath at any time with complete control at your fingertips.
A solid, 100% waterproof roof one minute and an airy open vented roof system the next with remote control of the metallic fin angles to give shading at all times of the day. With built in lighting the night time is special too choosing whether to see the stars or protect from the rain with light and comfort assured.
Thanks to two innovative patents, Twist Motion and Side Seal, this new bioclimatic terrace cover system acts harmoniously on the aluminum supporting frame structure, brings out its elegance and personality and increases its efficiency. The area underneath this roof system becomes an area you can thoroughly enjoy in complete tranquility. The metallic tilting blades that make up the cover are fixed laterally by means of stainless steel pivots. They have a patented rotation movement (Twist Motion) and can move from the horizontal closed position to the open one with an angle from 0 to 135 degrees. The movement, driven by an invisible linear motor on the outside with remote control, allows the blades to rotate in such a way to regulate the microclimate of the environment underneath and to provide efficacious protection from sun and rain. Slightly opening the blades gives you the benefit of a natural and pleasant ventilation, while, directing them in a way that screens sun and light, you can enjoy total sun protection, which lets you experience the space in total safety. In addition, with the Side Seal closing system patented by Gibus, completely closing the blades in a horizontal position provides perfect protection from rain and excellent drainage of rainwater, which will flow directly down the drainpipes. The internal insulation of the blades is possible in order to block out the noise of rain, with noise reduction of 70%. Elegant and perfectly functional at any angle, the Med Twist bioclimatic pergolas offer an exclusive opportunity for outdoor living and entertaining, the pleasure of creating and controlling the climate of your environment and of enjoying it in complete freedom, in any weather.
There is a Twist system for fixing directly to your house structure (as above) or a stand alone system (The Med Twist Island) to create an outdoor room os almost any size with options on the sides for complete control at all times.
