Description
Movis Retractable Louvre System
Motorised, intelligent, and engineered for New Zealand conditions
The Movis Retractable Louvre System is a motorised roof solution designed to deliver precise control over sunlight, ventilation, and weather protection.
At the push of a button, the roof transitions from open sky to a fully watertight shelter, allowing outdoor areas to function comfortably in changing conditions.
Constructed from architectural-grade 6063-T6 aluminium, Movis provides long-term rigidity, corrosion resistance, and stability — essential for coastal New Zealand, alpine regions, and exposed commercial environments.
What Is the Movis Retractable Louvre System?
Movis is a powered, retractable and reversible louvre roof platform built for year-round outdoor living.
It allows users to:
• capture winter sun
• create summer shade
• ventilate naturally
• close instantly during rain
Unlike fixed systems, Movis physically retracts the blades away from the opening, maximising sky exposure when required.
Why Retractable Louvre Systems Are Growing in New Zealand
Outdoor areas are no longer seasonal.
They are now extensions of homes, hospitality venues, and commercial footprints.
Property owners want flexibility, automation, and architectural finish — not just cover.
Retractable roofs like Movis suit:
• coastal homes
• alpine lodges
• cafés and restaurants
• hotels and resorts
• premium residential builds
