01Plan the room and roof movement together
Start with how the outdoor space will be used through sun, rain, evening operation and different seasons. The roof movement should support that operating brief rather than simply provide a visual feature.
Show furniture, circulation, doors and adjacent building openings so moving roof elements and side screens do not conflict with the way the room is used.
02Treat integrated blinds as part of the enclosure strategy
Current AUVENOR pathways can combine roof systems with drop-down side control. That changes shade, privacy, airflow and pressure within the space.
Declare which sides need enclosure, whether outward views must be retained and how often the screens will operate before the structure and electrical routes are fixed.
03Coordinate structural profiles, drainage and services
Retractable tilt-roof pathways use defined beams, gutters, blades, posts and motorised mechanisms. Final profile selection should follow the required opening, support arrangement and project conditions.
Drainage, lighting, power, controls and maintenance access should remain serviceable after surrounding finishes are complete.
04Separate AUVENOR from FASGAR and ARKEN
AUVENOR focuses on adaptable retractable tilt-roof and integrated enclosure packages. FASGAR owns fixed aluminium and retractable fabric-roof territory, while ARKEN owns bespoke rotating and retracting architectural louvre roofs.
This distinction lets the project brief choose the correct mechanism and material family before detailed specification begins.
05Confirm the exact configuration before technical claims are relied upon
Reference dimensions and profiles help early planning, but final span, blade length, wind and weather suitability, structural requirements, drainage, controls and compliance remain project-specific.
Apollo is supply-focused; local foundations, installation, electrical work, drainage discharge, engineering and statutory approvals remain separately defined unless expressly included.
