What is a louvered roof, and how does it work?
A louvered roof is an adjustable roofing system with angled slats (louvers) that can be opened and closed to control sunlight, airflow, and rain protection. You can tilt the louvers to let sunlight in, create shade, or fully close them to keep out rain.
Why choose Colorbond steel over aluminium for louvered roofs?
Colorbond steel is more durable and resilient in high temperatures, unlike aluminium, which can distort and leak in heat above 41°C. This makes Colorbond a better choice for Australia's extreme weather conditions.
Can I install a Louvre Co roof myself?
Yes, our louvered roof systems are designed for ease of installation. With no need for an electrician (thanks to the solar-powered drive), our roofs come with comprehensive instructions, making them simple to install for anyone.
Are Louvre Co roofs suitable for cyclonic regions?
Absolutely. Our patented Colorbond Louvre System is engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, including cyclonic winds (up to W60 standards).
Do your louvered roofs come with weather sensors?
Yes, our louvered roofs are equipped with advanced weather sensors, including rain, wind, and remote controls. These features allow for automatic adjustment, ensuring protection and convenience.
How energy efficient are your louvered roofs?
Our louvered roofs are highly energy-efficient, thanks to the use of high-density foam insulation similar to the Bondor concept. They help regulate temperatures, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling in outdoor spaces.
Do I need planning permission for a louvered roof?
In many cases, councils classify louvered roofs as open space due to their adjustable nature. However, we recommend checking with your local council to confirm specific regulations in your area before installation.
Can the louvers be operated manually?
Our Louvre Co systems are designed with a solar-powered motor, so there is no need for manual operation. You can easily adjust the louvers with a remote control, and the built-in weather sensors handle adjustments automatically when needed.
Are your louvered roofs suitable for both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, our patented Colorbond louvered systems are versatile and can be customized for both residential and commercial projects. They provide an elegant and functional solution for a wide range of outdoor spaces.
How do I maintain my louvered roof?
Our Colorbond louvered roofs are low-maintenance. Periodic cleaning of the louvers with mild soap and water is usually enough to keep them in top condition. The weather sensors and motorized parts are also designed for longevity and reliable performance.
