Louvre Options

- Spiral Pivot 120v motorised or hand operated.
- Blades open full 180 degrees.
- Fully sealed ends with powder coated die cast end caps.
- Hidden woolpile closing strip eliminating metal to metal contact.
180 Linear Opening Roof
This fresh new Opening Roof design incorporates bold angular lines and sharp cleanly defined edges. Designed to capture and compliment the look of today's modern architecture.
- All the features of the180 Classic Opening Roof apply to the 180 and 200 Linear Opening Roof.
260 Translucent Opening Roof
This product is ideal if loss of light is an issue when the roof is closed. UV treated Naturelite translucent panels, in a new "Champagne" color produces a soft filtered light when the roof is in the closed position.
- The blades are spaced 256mm apart resulting in wide open spaces when the roof is fully open.
- Our Translucent Opening Roof has also been upgraded to operate using the Spiral Pivot system

Structural Opening Roof Frames
There are many design options and material choices available when considering the Opening Roof Structural Frame. Often an existing pergola structure can be easily modified to receive an Opening Roof.
LouvreTec specialises in the design and installation of a wide range of custom made all aluminum post and beam structures. Strong, lightweight and low maintenance, they can be powder coated or anodised to match with or contrast to the Opening Roof.
Types of Frames
- Timber - convert an existing pergola or fit within a new wooden beam & post frame
- Aluminum Box - strong, lightweight, maintenance free. Full color options.
- Steel - steel RHS, SHS, PFC are all suitable. Ideal for cantilevered frames
- Concrete or Rendered Finish - concrete provides an ideal stable frame. Plastered beams require solid internal fixing & good flashing details
