Description
Across the Pacific Islands, outdoor living is an essential part of daily life — from family gatherings under the sun to resort lounges overlooking turquoise waters. The Orion System Series by Apollo NZ has become a popular choice for homeowners, resorts, and commercial properties seeking stylish, durable, and functional outdoor cover systems designed for tropical conditions.
Designed for Harsh Island Conditions
The Pacific Islands experience intense sunlight, high humidity, and corrosive coastal air, often combined with unpredictable tropical storms. The Orion System Series is built specifically to withstand these challenges.
Constructed from marine-grade aluminium with a premium powder-coated finish, every component is made for long-term durability. The system includes a fully integrated drainage design, allowing rainwater to flow seamlessly through internal gutters and posts, ensuring your space stays dry and comfortable year-round.
Whether installed at a Fijian beachfront villa, a Samoan resort, or a Cook Islands café, the Orion System performs reliably in even the most demanding island environments.
Comfort and Climate Control
The Orion System’s adjustable louvre blades offer full control over sunlight, shade, and ventilation.
Open the louvres to let in tropical breezes and filtered light.
Close them fully to create a watertight seal that provides protection from rain and UV exposure.
This smart design makes the Orion Series ideal for the Pacific lifestyle — where sunshine and showers can appear within minutes.
Aurea Louvre Blades (Daylight Louvres): Natural Light, Even When Closed
For those who want to enjoy natural brightness while maintaining weather protection, the Aurea Louvre Blades — also known as Daylight Louvres — are an exceptional upgrade option within the Orion range.
These innovative blades allow light to pass through even when the roof is closed, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere while maintaining full waterproof functionality.
They’re available in two stunning versions:
Fixed Glass Louvres – Made from 6–8 mm toughened glass, offering elegant transparency and lasting strength.
Polycarbonate Louvres – Operable alongside aluminium blades, available in clear or tinted finishes for adjustable daylight control.
The Aurea Louvre Blades help reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day — a perfect match for eco-conscious island resorts aiming to balance luxury with sustainability.
Perfect for Homes, Resorts, and Commercial Spaces
The modular design of the Orion System allows for a wide range of applications — from residential patios and poolside lounges to high-end restaurants, resorts, and cafés.
Each installation can be tailored with:
Motorised or manual operation
Smart control and automation options
LED louvre or surround lighting
Glass, shutter, or screen sides for privacy and weather protection
This flexibility ensures the system complements both modern and traditional Pacific architecture, providing a refined aesthetic with practical performance.
Built for Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
By combining shade, ventilation, and natural light management, the Orion Series promotes energy efficiency — reducing reliance on air conditioning and artificial lighting. For island communities focused on eco-friendly design, this translates to lower energy consumption and a smaller carbon footprint.
