Design and engineering of an Azenco SkyTilt motorized louvered roof for B2 Bistro's Reading, PA location — developed across seven camera angles so ownership could evaluate every sightline before committing to fabrication.
B2 Bistro's Reading, Pennsylvania location extends the brand's footprint outside New Jersey. The patio coverage system needed to read consistently with the New Jersey locations while accounting for a Berks County climate that's a meaningful step colder than the coastal sites.
Ownership wanted the same motorized SkyTilt approach used at the NJ B2 locations — clean white frame, integrated drainage, fully automated — sized to the Reading patio footprint and finished to integrate with the local building architecture.
Berks County commercial code required PE-stamped engineering for the wind and snow loads at the Reading building's roofline. The structure also needed to clear the local height envelope without dominating the streetscape.
Breslow developed the Reading design package around the Azenco SkyTilt™ motorized louvered roof — the same product line used at the New Jersey B2 locations. Aluminum louvers tilt for sun control and ventilation, close against rain — fully automated. The design was rendered across seven camera angles (1_1 through 3_7) so every sightline was reviewed before fabrication.
Engineering was stamped for Reading's wind and snow loads, with material specs adjusted for the Berks County climate. The white frame finish was matched to the existing building trim so the structure reads as integrated rather than added-on. Integrated drainage routes water through the structural columns.
Full turnkey scope: design with 20 photo-real renderings → PE engineering → Reading permitting → Azenco fabrication and finishing → installation → lifetime service. Project sequenced around restaurant operating hours so dinner service was never interrupted.
Every commercial structure Breslow installs ships with PE-stamped engineering calculated for the actual site — not a generic dealer spec sheet. Here is what went into B2 Bistro Reading.
Commercial decisions aren't made from a pergola catalog. Every Breslow commercial project begins with a photo-real design rendering so stakeholders — owner, GM, board, architect — see the finished space before a single beam is ordered.

Commercial restaurant louvered roof installations of this scope typically run $100K–$225K depending on patio area, structural attachment requirements, perimeter screens, lighting, and finish selections. The B2 Reading scope was a full-coverage SkyTilt motorized louvered roof. Every Breslow commercial quote is fixed-price and includes engineering, permits, fabrication, and installation. Request a site walk for an exact estimate.
From signed contract to first service under the new structure, restaurant installations like B2 Reading run 10–16 weeks: 3 weeks design + photo-real renderings across multiple angles, 3–5 weeks PE engineering and Reading permitting, 4–6 weeks Azenco fabrication and finishing, and 2–3 weeks on-site installation. We sequence around restaurant operating hours so peak dinner service is never interrupted.
Yes. Breslow Design & Build is the Northeast's premier certified Azenco commercial dealer, serving NJ, NY, CT, PA, MD, DE, RI, MA, and FL. Our field crews operate out of Springfield, NJ. We've delivered commercial projects for restaurant groups, country clubs, rooftop venues, and hospitality properties across the region. Every commercial scope includes PE-stamped engineering, permitting, fabrication, installation, and lifetime service — all in-house.
Yes. Every commercial structure Breslow installs ships with site-specific PE-stamped structural engineering — wind loads calculated for the actual site (both louvers open and louvers closed), snow loads sized to local code, and stamps issued in the state where the project is built. Architects and GCs receive full shop drawings and AIA-compatible specs as part of the standard scope, not as an add-on.
Azenco-manufactured Motorized SkyTilt Louvered Roof systems carry a 20-year structural warranty on the aluminum extrusion and a 5-year warranty on motors, electronics, and finishes. Breslow installation work is warranted separately, and every motorized system we install is backed by our in-house lifetime service team — one phone call, one team, for as long as the structure is on your property.
A Breslow project manager on every commercial job. One point of contact from the first site walk through final punch list. No relay between sales, design, engineering, and install.
PE-stamped engineering is standard, not an add-on. Commercial load calculations, wind ratings (open and closed louvers), and state-specific stamps are included in the scope. Architects and GCs receive full shop drawings and AIA-compatible specs.
Permitting across the Northeast. We expedite DOB submissions, handle state-specific commercial requirements, and track the approval timeline so construction starts on schedule.
Full lifecycle — not a dealership handoff. Most Azenco dealers sub out engineering, permitting, and service. Breslow keeps all of it in-house. That's why country clubs, restaurant groups, and commercial property owners across 9 states trust us with their outdoor revenue.
102 years of continuous operation. Breslow was founded in 1924 and is still Shaw-family operated. When you install a commercial structure from us, the company backing the warranty will still be here in ten years.
Lifetime service on everything we install. Motorized systems need a service partner. We are that partner — one phone call, one team.
Tell us what you're trying to build. Our commercial team will walk your site, develop a photo-real design rendering, and give you a PE-stamped engineering scope and timeline — before you commit to anything.
