ORELAN · Retractable Open-Sky
Rotate the louvres — then retract the roof for a substantially open sky.
ORELAN's flagship open-sky pathway uses a motorised aluminium roof that combines blade rotation with roof retraction. It is intended for projects where a conventional rotating roof does not provide enough openness.

Current technical reference
Useful specification now — with project claims kept controlled.
These figures are drawn from the current manufacturing-platform material available to Apollo. They are planning references, not a substitute for the final project-specific engineering and documentation pack.
Manufacturer-published reference; larger and multi-bay layouts require project engineering.
Final motor make, voltage and control protocol to be confirmed for destination.
Exact coating system and coastal warranty require project confirmation.
Apollo will only rely on certificates once the model-specific documents are received and checked.
Why this pathway exists
Architecture first. Product model second.
Three roof states
Close for overhead shelter, rotate for controlled light and airflow, or retract the roof to create a much larger open-sky condition.
Premium hospitality potential
The open-sky function is particularly useful for restaurants, resorts, courtyards and pool terraces that need to transform between weather protection and open-air use.
Retrofit pathway
The current platform can be configured freestanding, wall-mounted or as a roof fitted into a suitable existing structure.
Enclosure ready
Selected layouts can coordinate glass, screens, lighting, heating and side louvre panels around the roof architecture.

Published wind and snow figures are being held out of Apollo's primary sales copy until model-specific reports and test conditions are received. Final span, loading and compliance remain project-specific.
