Fixed Aluminium Roof vs Louvre Roof

A fixed aluminium roof and a louvre roof can cover the same terrace, but they solve different operating problems. The decision should start with how much movement and ventilation the space actually needs.

Planning guidance — final supplied configuration remains project-specific.

01

Choose fixed when permanence is the priority

FASGAR FIXED suits projects where dependable permanent overhead shelter matters more than changing the roof opening. Fewer moving roof components can also simplify day-to-day operation.

02

Choose louvres when controlled openness matters

ORELAN rotating louvres can vary shade, ventilation and closed-roof rain management while keeping the roof frame in place. Retractable ORELAN pathways can go further by opening a larger part of the roof to the sky.

03

Both still need project review

Structure, drainage, fixing, coastal exposure, side enclosure and local engineering remain project-specific regardless of roof family.
