Description
Louvre roof systems have transformed outdoor living across the world. Once considered a luxury, they are now fast becoming the standard for patios, pergolas, and entertainment spaces — from New Zealand and Fiji to the USA and Europe. Whether in the heat of summer or the depths of winter, louvre systems are proving to be the most adaptable and weather-resilient outdoor cover solution available.
Why Louvre Systems Are So Popular
• Climate Adaptability – Louvre roofs are designed to handle all weather conditions. In sunny regions, the adjustable blades provide shade and UV protection, while in colder climates, they can be sealed tight to keep out rain and snow.
• Custom or Kitset Options – Homeowners, builders, and developers can choose from pre-engineered kitsets for quick DIY installation or fully made-to-measure systems for bespoke architectural projects.
• Year-Round Usability – A motorised louvre system allows outdoor spaces to be used year-round — open for sunlight, closed for shelter, or tilted for airflow and temperature control.
• Design Flexibility – Louvre systems integrate beautifully with modern architecture. They can be standalone structures, attached to buildings, or combined with features like glass panels, blinds, and lighting systems.
• Durability & Low Maintenance – Built from aluminium or steel, with weather-resistant coatings, these systems offer long-term performance with minimal upkeep.
Future Possibilities
The next generation of louvre systems is already taking shape — and for some Apollo NZ systems, it’s already here.
• Solar-Powered Systems – Running entirely on solar energy for motors, lighting, and blinds, providing energy-efficient control with zero wiring required.
• Smart Controls (Already in Use) – Several Apollo NZ systems already feature Bluetooth and app-based operation, remote control integration, and optional weather sensors that automatically react to sunlight, rain, or wind.
• Hybrid Roof Designs (Already Available) – Apollo NZ also offers hybrid roofs that combine louvres with polycarbonate or glass panels — allowing natural light to enter while keeping areas fully sheltered.
• Sustainable Manufacturing – Eco-friendly materials and coatings are being used across the Apollo NZ range to deliver long-lasting performance with reduced environmental impact.
Built for Every Climate
From the sun-soaked islands of the Pacific to snow-covered European chalets, louvre roof systems prove that outdoor living has no season. Whether you’re seeking a simple kitset pergola or a high-end motorised architectural roof, these systems offer the perfect balance of form and function.
