Bring Natural Brightness Into Your Outdoor Space
When it comes to outdoor living, light makes all the difference. The Aurea Louvre Blades — also known as Daylight Louvres — are a groundbreaking addition to the Orion Louvre Roof System by Apollo NZ, designed to flood your space with natural daylight while maintaining full weather protection and architectural harmony.
Unlike standard aluminium louvres that block light when closed, Aurea Blades use specialised materials to let sunlight filter through — even when the roof is fully shut. The result? A brighter, more inviting pergola that feels open, airy, and connected to nature all year round.
Design & Seamless Integration
Aurea Louvre Blades integrate perfectly within the Orion System framework, maintaining the same precision engineering and aesthetic cohesion that define Apollo NZ’s louvre roofs. Each blade is built for strength, clarity, and long-term reliability — creating a seamless visual transition between shaded and sunlit sections.
The blades can be positioned anywhere within your pergola layout, allowing you to customise light flow and define architectural focal points in your design.
Two Premium Options for Daylight Louvres
1. Fixed Glass Louvres
For those who love constant natural light and a minimalist aesthetic, Fixed Glass Louvres offer a stunning permanent daylight section within your roof.
Made from 6–8 mm toughened glass for maximum strength and safety
Fixed in place — they do not open or close with aluminium louvres
Perfect for dedicated daylight panels above dining or seating areas
Available in clear finish only for maximum brightness and visual purity
These louvres create a built-in skylight feel — ideal for homeowners seeking a bright, architectural statement feature that lasts.
2. Polycarbonate Louvres
If flexibility is key, Polycarbonate Louvres offer an adjustable solution that opens and closes in sync with your aluminium roof blades.
Made from high-grade UV-resistant polycarbonate for clarity and longevity
Fully operable, giving you total control over sunlight and ventilation
Available in clear or tinted finishes to tailor brightness and privacy
Designed for durability, weather resistance, and visual consistency
Whether you want gentle morning light or full shade in the afternoon, these louvres adapt instantly to your needs — combining beauty and functionality in one intelligent system.
Strength, Functionality & Customisation
Both glass and polycarbonate options are engineered to meet New Zealand’s demanding climate standards. The Aurea Louvre Blades integrate flawlessly with the Orion System’s robust aluminium framework, ensuring long-term structural integrity without compromising style.
Apollo NZ also offers custom configurations, allowing homeowners, designers, and architects to decide exactly where daylight sections are positioned — over dining areas, spa zones, garden seating, or entrances — for tailored lighting and ambience.
Why Choose Aurea Louvre Blades
Brightens outdoor areas with natural daylight even when closed
Seamless integration with Orion’s premium louvre structure
Custom positioning for perfect light balance
Adds architectural depth and visual warmth
Ideal for homes, cafés, restaurants, and commercial courtyards
A true point of difference in the pergola and outdoor roof market
While many pergola systems rely solely on artificial lighting, Aurea Louvres bring real sunlight into the equation — creating a natural connection between your indoor and outdoor spaces. This is what sets Apollo NZ apart: intelligent design that combines performance, aesthetics, and innovation.
Applications
The Aurea Louvre Blades are perfect for:
Residential patios and courtyards — brighten shaded zones without sacrificing shelter
Commercial and hospitality settings — create inviting, light-filled alfresco areas for cafés and restaurants
Homes seeking daylight under covered areas — ideal for sun-poor sections of a property or south-facing decks
Also Available in the Cerberus Plus System
If you love the idea of fixed daylight sections but prefer the Cerberus Plus Louvre System, Apollo NZ can incorporate fixed polycarbonate panels (not louvres) to achieve a similar effect. These panels provide continuous daylight while maintaining the sleek, modular style of the Cerberus Plus range — a smart, affordable option for modern deck installations.
