Capacity and layout
Post positions, opening spans and enclosure tracks should support table layouts, accessible circulation and service routes.

Louvre Roofs for NZ Hospitality & Commercial Terraces
A commercial terrace roof is an operating asset, not only an architectural feature. Seating capacity, staff operation, weather recovery, lighting, drainage, side enclosure and maintenance should be resolved with the roof system.

Direct answer
The short version.
Commercial projects should select the louvre system around operational reliability and the complete terrace plan. ARKEN is the natural architectural pathway for larger or more bespoke hospitality work, while CADARN can suit smaller controlled footprints where its modular envelope fits.
Project decision
What matters before product selection.
Use these points to structure the first project conversation. Final suitability stays tied to the actual site, selected system and local project team.
Weather recovery
Consider how quickly the terrace can be opened, closed, drained and returned to use after rain or wind.
Lighting and controls
Integrated lighting, motors, sensors and staff controls should be coordinated with local electrical work and the venue operating plan.
Cleaning and maintenance
Commercial use increases the importance of access for gutters, tracks, motors, louvres and surrounding glazing or blinds.

Frequently asked
Answers without oversimplifying the project.
Does Apollo supply commercial and hospitality louvre roofs in New Zealand?
Yes. Apollo reviews suitable New Zealand projects through the relevant product pathway. Exact configuration, availability, documentation and freight are confirmed for the actual project rather than assumed from a generic page.
Does Apollo install commercial and hospitality louvre roofs?
Apollo is primarily supply-only. Local design, engineering, approvals, foundations, electrical work and installation remain with the appointed New Zealand project team unless expressly included in a written project scope.
What should I send for an initial review?
Send the project location, intended use, dimensions or drawings, photographs, target timing and any known wind, coastal, drainage, access, power or local-compliance requirements relevant to the product.
Next step
Turn the research into a real project brief.
Send the site, dimensions, intended use, quantities and known local requirements. Apollo will review the relevant product pathway and keep local engineering, approvals and site-work responsibilities explicit.
