Louvre Roofs

Blade width, span and the number of posts set what the roof can carry, and they decide whether it can be fixed back to the house or needs its own frame. Louvred roof systems are made to the opening they cover, so the span, the fall of the existing paving and any services in the way are worth checking at the start.

Opening louvre roofs offer one of the most beautiful roof options for outdoor living areas. These roofs open and close so you can take advantage of warmer weather, but also remain protected during rain.

A great alternative to pergolas, retractable louvre roofs can rotate and retract depending on your view preferences. The distinction matters in a courtyard where space is tight, since a retractable louvred roof system opens the whole footprint to the sky rather than only altering the blade angle.

A patio is a great way to relax in style or entertain friends and family. Louvre patio roofs keep you in the shade when it’s hot so you can focus on that book you’re reading or the barbecue.

With any type of roofing, quality shouldn’t be overlooked. As something that is both functional and aesthetic, you want a product that delivers on both fronts and high-quality louvre roofs do exactly that. Premium options are designed for modern and luxurious settings, bringing that element of sophistication to enhance a space. They are also made of superior materials that are strong and robust, essential given the harsh climate that we often experience in Australia.  Higher quality options are also more likely to remain sturdy and retract or open smoothly. Because an outdoor louvre roof is exposed on every side, brackets, fixings and blade coatings take the worst of the weather.

When choosing louvre roofs for your home, it’s important to take into account a few things before making your decision. First is the ascertain whether they are the right shelter and shade system for the area you have in mind and the qualities they bring. The flexibility and ability to adjust the amount of light and shade you have, quickly and easily, is usually the main reason for doing so. This is even more true for those who will use their outdoor space often. Style is probably the next biggest factor with respect to the louvre roof aesthetic. Their natural elegance and sophistication typically add value to most architectural styles and roofing systems but it is a factor that must nevertheless be considered. The good news on this point is that there are different styles, colours and shapes for the blades of the louvre so you can customise your choice.
