Open Roof Pergolas in Melbourne: Everything You Need to Know

Create a backyard oasis with an open roof pergola from Louvre House. Contemporary yet classic, the attractive opening roof systems from Louvre House give you control over your natural light and air circulation. The automated system allows you to change the angle of roof louvre blades to let in sunlight and circulate air, or alternately close them to create shade and rain protection. Louvre roofs add value to your home and offer a comfortable outdoor space for all seasons of weather in Melbourne.

What is an Opening Louvre Roof?

An opening louvre roof can be added to your outdoor patio, pergola or extension to offer superior and flexible roof coverage from the elements. You can adjust your louvre blades to a maximum angle of 180 degrees to offer sun filtration, air circulation and add privacy to your outdoor areas.

The louvre roof system from Louvre House consists of an aluminium frame, louvre roof, and a remote controlled mechanical system that assists with the automatic opening and closing of your louvre blades. Louvre roofs come with a rain sensor to automatically close your louvres when it starts to rain.

Louvre Roof Options

A louvre roof attached to a residence or commercial building can significantly improve your cooling and heating costs by adding insulation and shade, offering exceptional energy efficiency. A free standing pergola or patio may also benefit from a louvre roof, allowing the space to be used for entertaining all year round, and at night, if lighting options are installed.

Additional options available with your opening roof systems include:

  • Dimmable remote controlled LED lighting
  • Bluetooth speaker system connections
