Smart, Stylish, and Affordable Outdoor Living Solutions
In today’s ever-evolving world of architecture and outdoor living, the demand for smarter, more adaptable shading solutions has never been greater. The Gemini Folding Aluminium Retractable Roof answers that call with precision engineering, sleek aesthetics, and an intelligent design that redefines how we experience the outdoors.
Gemini offers a premium folding aluminium canopy solution without the premium price tag — making it one of the smartest investments for modern outdoor shading. Ideal for sunrooms, pergolas, commercial spaces, and a variety of residential applications, Gemini brings top-tier innovation within reach.
A New Generation of Folding Aluminium Canopy Systems
The Gemini system represents the next step in aluminium sunshade technology. Its core mechanism uses a compact motor to pull a belt that smoothly propels the sunshade blades along specially designed tracks. The result is a silent, seamless folding and retracting motion that adapts to changing weather conditions and user preferences with the touch of a button. Whether fully closed for complete shade and weather protection or opened wide to allow sunlight and a panoramic view, Gemini is as dynamic as the spaces it enhances.
Flexible Installation Options to Suit Any Project
The Gemini Folding Aluminium Retractable Roof is available in three distinct configurations:
Standalone – Create an independent outdoor feature with clean lines and structural freedom.
Attached to Wall – A popular option for patios, decks, and outdoor living areas connected to the main house.
Roof-Only Option – Perfect for custom-built frames or integrating into existing structures.
The system is engineered to adapt — ideal for residential, hospitality, or commercial applications.
Max Bay Size and Unlimited Scalability
Each bay of the Gemini system can be constructed up to 6 metres wide by 4 metres deep, but the overall system is unlimited in size. Thanks to its modular design, multiple bays can be seamlessly joined to cover large spaces such as restaurant courtyards, hotel lounges, event spaces, and expansive residential terraces — all without compromising design or performance.
Integrated Drainage System
Rainwater management is built into the system’s core functionality. The gutter is integrated directly into the structural beam, ensuring clean, concealed drainage. This design eliminates the need for bulky external gutters and protects surrounding areas from water runoff — maintaining both form and function with a premium architectural finish.
