Outdoor living is in! If you are thinking of upgrading your backyard with a customisable louvre roof there are several important factors that you should consider to make sure that you get the most out of your outdoor space.
Here are some key features to consider to make sure your customised louvre roof meets your practical and aesthetic preferences and works well in the Australian climate. This way, you’ll get the most out of the upgrade to your outdoor pace.
Material and Durability
Make sure to choose materials that can withstand Australia’s harsh weather conditions. Considering factors like extreme heat, UV radiation, heavy rain, and potential saltwater exposure if you’re near the coast, guarantees that you’ll be enjoying your new outdoor space for years to come.
With WeatherShade, you’ll be sure that your louvre roof has what it takes to stand up to the Aussie weather. WeatherShade is constructed from unique, low corrosive aluminium components. These components have a powder-coated or anodised finish, high-quality marine grade stainless steel fixings and self-lubricating nylon operating gear. All this means that the structure is low maintenance and extremely durable, giving you the confidence that your WeatherShade will stand up to even the harshest of coastal conditions.
Motorisation and Control
Are you mad about manual; or are you more of an automation enthusiast? Either way, you can design your louvre roof to suit your preference.
Motorised louvres are convenient because they allow you to open and close them easily. With WeatherShade, it is possible to integrate your motorised louvre roof with your home automation system.
If you choose not to motorise your louvre roof – all that manual adjustment of the louvres takes is a twist of the wrist.
Colour and Finish Options
All WeatherShade louvre roofs are customisable with a range of finishes that ensure your new shade structure fits seamlessly into the aesthetic design of your home. You can choose from any standard Dulux or Interpon powder coat colour, an extensive range of Woodlook timbergrain powder coating or go for a classic metallic look with an anodised finish.
Warranty and Maintenance
Look for a louvre roof system with a comprehensive warranty and make sure you know about maintenance requirements to keep your new structure in optimal condition.
With WeatherShade you can rest assured that your louvre roof is built to last. The structure is highly water resistant and needs minimal maintenance. Regular use (to prevent sticking), soapy water, a soft brush and hose off from time to time is all it takes.
Problems? No worries, with WeatherShade you’ve got a five year warranty.
Local Regulations and Permits
Before making the decision to install your louvre roof, make sure to check with local authorities about any permits or regulations related to outdoor structures and their installation.
