The Graduation Garden: How a Nova Titan Plus Created the Ultimate Party Space in Chorley

From "Rain Check" to "Party On" in Lancashire

When hosting a milestone event like a graduation party, the one thing you can't RSVP is the British weather. For a recent family in Chorley, Lancashire, the goal was simple: create an outdoor venue that felt like a high-end lounge, regardless of what the clouds decided to do.

They didn't just want a patio cover; they wanted the ultimate outdoor room. Our team delivered exactly that with the installation of the Nova Titan Plus Pergola.

The "Plus" Factor: Why Motorisation Changes Everything

While the standard Nova Titan is a market leader, the Nova Titan Plus is in a league of its own. For this Chorley project, the motorized functionality was the star of the show:

• Motorised Tilting Louvered Roof: With a single touch of a remote (or via a smartphone app), the roof transitions from a sun-drenched terrace to a 100% waterproof seal. No manual cranking required while you're entertaining guests.

• Factory-Integrated LED Lighting: Unlike add-on strips, the Plus model features built-in, colour-changing LEDs. Whether it’s a sophisticated white glow for dinner or vibrant celebratory colours for a graduation bash, the mood is set instantly.

• The 3-Side Privacy Shield: To create a truly intimate "sanctuary" feel, we installed two integrated Pergola privacy screens, covering three sides of the structure. This blocked out the wind and the neighbours, turning a garden corner into a private VIP lounge.

Frequently Asked Questions: The Nova Titan Plus & Outdoor Living

How does the Nova Titan Plus extend the outdoor living season?

The Nova Titan Plus is a "Bioclimatic" structure, meaning it allows you to control your micro-climate. In the height of summer, you can tilt the motorized louvres to allow airflow and shade. During the cooler Lancashire months, closing the roof creates a 100% waterproof seal. When paired with integrated privacy screens, the pergola traps heat more effectively, allowing you to use your garden from early spring through to late autumn—and even for winter hosting.

Does the Nova Titan Plus require a special electrical setup?

Because the Nova Titan Plus features a motorized roof and integrated LED lighting, it requires a mains power source. It comes with a 5m lead cable that can be plugged into a standard weatherproof outdoor socket or an indoor outlet. As part of our professional pergola installation in Chorley, we ensure all cables are discreetly managed for a clean, architectural finish.

How do the privacy screens handle wind and rain?

The optional pergola privacy screens are designed specifically for the UK climate. Unlike lightweight gazebos, these screens are housed in tracks within the aluminium frame. This means they won't flap in the wind. On 3-sided setups (like our recent Chorley graduation project), they act as a high-performance windbreak and keep sideways rain off your furniture.

Is planning permission required for a Nova Titan Pergola in Chorley?

In most cases, pergolas are considered "Permitted Development" and do not require planning permission, provided they are under a certain height (typically 2.5m if placed against a boundary). However, because every property in Lancashire is different, we always recommend a quick check with your local authority if you live in a conservation area or a listed building.

Can I control the LED lighting and roof via my phone?

Yes! One of the standout features of the Nova Titan Plus is its smart-tech integration. While it comes with a dedicated remote, you can also control the louvres and the colour-changing LEDs via a mobile app. It is even compatible with smart home systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to open the roof with just your voice.

How do I maintain an aluminium pergola?

Aluminium is the ultimate low-maintenance material for the UK. Unlike timber, it will never rot, warp, or require staining. The Tiger Drylac® powder coating on the Nova Titan range is UV-resistant and corrosion-proof. A simple wash with soapy water once or twice a year is all that’s needed to keep it looking brand new.
