Restaurant Kwizien opts for ultimate patio comfort with D’hooge and Brustor
An amazing dinner always tastes better outdoors. This can often be a challenge however, given the Belgian weather. Rain, wind or bright sun can easily put a damper on your patio enjoyment. In an effort to change that, Kwizien in Maldegem was looking for a solution to give their guests a comfortable outdoor experience, all year round. Together with dealer D’Hooge, owners Ellen and Thomas created an all-weather patio for their guests.
An inviting patio, anytime
The business owners dreamed of a patio that was no longer dependent on the weather. After taking precise measurements and discussing their wishes, they decided to install six Brustor B200XL patio covers with louvered roofs and integrated screens. The result was an elegant ensemble that is a perfect fit for the restaurant’s style while still elevating guest comfort to a higher level.
“The installation went really smoothly. Patio covers from Brustor are always made to measure, and each individual cover is packaged as one unit. This makes it easy to install several covers next to one another without a problem.”

Protected guests are happy guests
In the past, wind and rain often drove clients indoors, but now they can stay outside without worries. The rotating louvers make it possible to strike the right balance between sun and shade every time. Not only do they provide ventilation on hot summer days, but they also offer protection from light rain. The integrated screens block the wind and low sun during the day, and at night, the built-in LED lighting and 26 black heating elements help create a warm and cosy vibe. This makes the patio the most popular spot – no matter what the season.
‘The louvers can be rotated 130° so you can tilt them to let sun in or block it out, enabling us to respond perfectly to guests' comfort needs.’

An investment in hospitality
For Kwizien, this solution doesn’t just mean a 33% increase in available seating, but more importantly, an investment in their customers’ experience. Visitors can enjoy their time on the patio longer, more comfortably and even more intensely, further highlighting the restaurant’s hospitality.
“As guests arrive, you really notice the wow-effect this has on them. For them, the experience means it’s a great place to sit on colder days, slightly rainy days and when the weather is very hot.”

The power of collaboration
D’Hooge put their expertise and attention to detail to good use in providing a flawless installation and finish. Their years of experience with Brustor products is a guarantee for Kwizien’s owners that they can count on a durable and reliable solution that will last their entire career.
Thanks to the large, covered patio, guests can now enjoy their meal outside all year round, while also enabling the restaurant to give a major boost to its capacity and hospitality. This win-win situation was made possible by the close collaboration between Brustor and dealer D’Hooge.
“We are very pleased with this cooperation for two reasons: the chance to work with D'Hooge, our reliable distributor and expert installer in the region, and to be part of the great project at Restaurant Kwizien. It proves once again how the Brustor range can really make the difference, particularly in the hospitality sector where availability and service are always crucial.”
