Louvre Roof vs Fixed Pergola — Which One Suits You?
Both are great outdoor roof solutions — just different strengths. Here's how they compare.
We install both — your free on-site measure includes a recommendation based on your space, orientation, and how you want to use it.
How a Louvre Roof Works
Aluminium blades on pivots — driven by a quiet motor, controlled by you.
Open
Blades rotate flat — full sun and airflow into your space. Perfect for summer mornings.
Angle
Set blades 30–60° for dappled shade. Block harsh UV while keeping the space bright.
Close
Fully closed blades overlap tightly. Rain is channelled through frame gutters — no drips.
Automate
Optional rain sensor closes the roof automatically when it starts raining — no need to run outside.

Is a Louvre Roof Right for You?
Quick check before you book a measure.
✓ A louvre roof is a great fit if:
- You want to use your outdoor space year-round
- You hate losing the BBQ to unpredictable weather
- Natural light into adjacent rooms matters to you
- You want the flexibility to adjust sun and shade daily

How loud is the motor when opening or closing?
Quieter than a microwave. Our systems use brushless DC motors specifically chosen for low noise. You can hold a normal conversation while the roof moves. Full open-to-close takes about 15 seconds.
Can it handle Auckland's coastal salt air?
Yes. All exposed aluminium uses marine-grade powder coating, and hardware is 316 stainless steel. We install regularly in Mission Bay, St Heliers, Devonport, and Whangaparaoa. For extreme coastal sites (direct beachfront), we can specify additional corrosion protection.
Do I need consent from Auckland Council?
Depends on size and whether it's attached to your dwelling. Freestanding structures under 30m² often don't need consent. Attached systems, larger structures, or anything in a heritage overlay usually do. We handle the entire consent process — we'll advise during the free measure what's required for your specific project.
How much will a louvre roof cost for my space?
Every project is different — cost depends on size, motor options, add-ons, wind zone, site access, and whether consent is required. The only way to get an accurate figure is a free on-site measure. Our engineer visits, assesses the space, and you receive a fixed written quote within 24 hours. No obligation, no estimates — just the real number.
How long do louvre roofs last?
The aluminium structure is designed for 20+ years with minimal maintenance — no rust, no rot, no repainting. Motors are replaceable and covered by a 2-year warranty. The aluminium structure carries a 10-year structural warranty, so the core of your investment is protected long-term.
