Description
In today’s home and outdoor design landscape, homeowners are increasingly looking for products that combine functionality with sleek, modern aesthetics. The Cerberus Louvre Series by Apollo NZ continues to lead the way with the latest addition to its already impressive lineup—framed sliding glass doors.
This innovative upgrade is now available for both 2.3m and 2.5m height Cerberus Louvre Systems, across manual and motorised versions. Sliding glass doors, once exclusive to top-tier custom pergola systems, are now part of an accessible and affordable kitset solution that transforms your outdoor area into a year-round retreat.
Bringing High-End Design to Kitset Pergolas
Sliding glass doors have long been considered a luxury reserved for architecturally designed pergolas or bespoke builds. But now, Apollo NZ brings that same level of refinement to the Cerberus Series, including:
- 2.3m High Manual Louvre Systems
- 2.5m High Manual Louvre Systems
- 2.3m High Motorised Louvre Systems
- 2.5m High Motorised Louvre Systems
Whether you're building a new outdoor area, enclosing a patio, or upgrading an existing pergola, the Cerberus Series with sliding glass doors delivers the look and performance of premium systems—without the premium price.
Why Choose Sliding Glass Doors for Your Pergola?
Sliding glass doors do more than look good—they add versatility, safety, and comfort to your outdoor space. Here’s how:
1. Safety & Strength with Tempered Glass
The Cerberus glass panels are crafted from 8mm tempered safety glass, known for its superior durability. In the rare case of breakage, it shatters into small, blunt granules instead of sharp shards—making it ideal for homes with children and pets.
This safety-first approach gives you peace of mind without compromising on design.
2. Maximise Natural Light and Views
The expansive sliding panels allow unfiltered natural light to pour into your space, brightening interiors and providing stunning, uninterrupted views of your outdoor surroundings. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning or hosting friends for an alfresco dinner, the transition between indoors and outdoors becomes seamless.
3. Space-Saving Design
Unlike traditional hinged doors that require swing clearance, sliding glass doors glide smoothly along a sleek track, saving valuable space. This makes them perfect for compact patios, tight courtyards, or where floor space is at a premium.
4. Year-Round Weather Protection
Adding glass doors to your louvre system provides a barrier against wind, rain, and cold—allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space in all seasons. Combine this with a heater or blinds, and your pergola easily transforms into a comfortable, enclosed room.
5. Improve Energy Efficiency
The glass panels offer insulative benefits, helping regulate indoor temperatures by keeping warmth in during winter and heat out in summer. This passive efficiency contributes to a more comfortable space and can help lower energy usage inside adjacent rooms.
