Products: LOCARNO RLX200 louvre system
Structure: LOCARNO proprietary 220x50 aluminium RHS frame and 100x100 posts
Finish: Matt Black
Designer/builder: Waller Projects
Location: Coatesville
This generous 7.3x4.0m louvred outdoor space extends both sides of the sliding doors and accommodates both outdoor dining and lounging areas under the double bay RLX200 louvre system.
The all-aluminium structure utilises LOCARNO’s engineered proprietary 220x50 RHS beams and 100x100 posts, meaning the whole louvred pergola can be manufactured and installed by LOCARNO.
The LOCARNO RLX200 louvre profile retains the same rectilinear profile of the RL200 profile but is marginally thicker to achieve the 3.6m spans required on this project.
Architectural detail: Downpipes for each bay of louvres are concealed within the posts.
Locarno Louvres is a design led company, offering architects and designers a wide range of louvre systems for outdoor living.
Locarno’s louvre roof systems offer the perfect solution for creating sheltered outdoor rooms. These may be enclosed with manually adjustable louvred screens and sliding shutters.
Established in 2004, Locarno Louvres has developed its proprietary systems and designs to withstand the extremes of climate across New Zealand.
Our ethos is a design philosophy adopting clean lines and this is represented in the rectilinear forms of our louvre profiles and in every detail of our systems.
Our team works with architects, designers, builders and clients to create individualized designs and see this through to the final installation.
The difference is in the detail.
