A closed louvre roof provides useful overhead rain protection but is not a sealed indoor room. Wind-driven rain can still enter through open sides. Foundations, fixings, drainage, electrical work, installation, engineering and consent requirements must be confirmed for the specific site.
Project fit
Configured around how the outdoor room needs to work.
Manual or motorised
Manual operation needs no roof-operation power and suits simpler or less frequently adjusted areas. Motorised systems add electric drive, remote control, Tuya-compatible operation and an included rain sensor.
Lighting + drainage
Surround LED lighting is included on manual and motorised configurations. Gutters and internal drainage pathways manage roof water when the louvres are closed.
Side-enclosure pathways
Track blinds, sliding glass panels, vertical louvre walls and solid aluminium panels may be considered where compatible. Future enclosures are best planned from the start because loads can change.
Colours
Documented frame colours include Anthracite Grey RAL 7016 Matt, Aluminium Grey RAL 9006 Matt, White RAL 9016 Gloss and Black RAL 9005 Matt, with selected custom colours subject to availability and surcharge.
Kitset supply
The product is supplied as a kitset, keeping foundations, electrical work, drainage, engineering/consent and installation scope clearly separated.
