Why Lighting Transforms a Glass Garden Room

A PergoEnvision comes with sliding glass doors on all open sides as standard, creating a fully enclosed space. With the right lighting, this becomes a genuinely beautiful evening room — the glass reflects and amplifies the light, creating an effect that’s dramatically more impressive than an open pergola. The glow through the glass panels is visible from inside the house and across the garden.

Integrated Louvre Lighting

The PergoEnvision includes LED lighting integrated directly into the louvre blades as standard. This creates an even, soft overhead glow illuminating the entire enclosed space without harsh spots. Controlled via the same remote or smartphone app that operates the louvres.

RGB Perimeter Lighting

For a dramatic evening atmosphere, optional RGB perimeter lighting runs around the outer gutter edge. Choose from 20+ colours via the smartphone app. Through the glass walls, this creates a stunning halo effect visible from across the garden — particularly beautiful in the darker months.

Heating + Glass + Lighting = True Year-Round Evenings

The enclosed glass walls retain heat from optional infrared heaters far more effectively than an open pergola. Combine overhead LED warmth, RGB perimeter ambience, radiant heat, and the security of fully glazed lockable doors, and you have an evening space that genuinely rivals indoor living rooms.

Smart Home Integration

Our pergola systems are controlled via the Tuya app, integrating with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Set scenes, schedule lighting to turn on at sunset, or control everything by voice — all from inside your warm glass garden room.

Lighting costs: Running your PergoEnvision LED lights and RGB perimeter for 5 hours per evening, 365 days a year, costs roughly £15–20 annually. Combined with the louvre motor, total annual electricity is typically under £50.
