Description
The Cerberus Plus Solid Aluminium Wall System from Apollo NZ is a premium alternative to traditional shading or screening options such as blinds, fixed panels, or operable shutters. Built from high-grade aluminium, it delivers unmatched durability, weather protection, and architectural continuity — making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial applications across New Zealand.
Why Choose a Solid Aluminium Wall?
Unlike blinds or shutters, the Cerberus Plus Solid Aluminium Wall is a permanent structural feature — designed to last for decades with minimal maintenance.
It forms part of the pergola system’s frame, blending seamlessly with the Cerberus Plus roof and posts for a clean, contemporary look.
Key Advantages:
All-Weather Protection
The solid wall provides complete shelter from wind, rain, and sun exposure — perfect for New Zealand’s unpredictable climate. It creates a stable micro-environment for outdoor living areas, ensuring comfort all year round.Superior Privacy
Enjoy full visual privacy without compromising aesthetics. The solid aluminium design blocks all external views, making it ideal for boundary-facing pergolas, poolside enclosures, or café terraces.Enhanced Structural Integrity
Acting as an integrated part of the Cerberus Plus framework, the solid wall reinforces stability against lateral wind loads — ideal for coastal or high-wind zones.Minimal Maintenance
Unlike fabric blinds that require cleaning and replacement, or shutters that can collect dust and need alignment, the solid aluminium wall only needs an occasional washdown to maintain its pristine finish.Long-Term Durability
Powder-coated or PVDF-coated finishes resist corrosion, fading, and chalking — even in salty coastal air. Aluminium’s natural resistance to rust makes it a better long-term investment than steel or fabric-based systems.Architectural Finish
The sleek, seamless design complements the Cerberus Plus pergola’s modern aesthetic. Available in standard colours such as Anthracite Grey, White, and Black, or optional custom finishes like Flaxpod and Ironsand (surcharge applies).
