Retractable Pergola

A retractable roof is an investment for your home or business. It should always be installed by a qualified professional and maintained as per advice to uphold its appearance, function and structural integrity. In general, a high quality retractable roofs should require minimal upkeep, however it is recommended to follow some basic maintenance tips:

• Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, wet sponge or hose at gentle pressure to remove dust, dirt and debris that may accumulate on your roof especially after a windy day. This will avoid build-ups and drain blockages. Dry dusting, as well as harsh acids can cause surface damage and should not be used. If removing stubborn grime or dirt, use a mild detergent with warm water and soft bristled brush. 

• Check for Blockages: Check blades and drain outlets and remove any potential blockages on a regular basis. If left unchecked for prolonged periods of time, leaves, twigs and other debris can cause blockages which may cause leaks or prevent louvres from opening and closing smoothly. 

• Check after extreme weather events- These systems are designed to be incredibly durable and withstand most major weather events. However, you should always check your system after extreme weather, removing any debris and cleaning the louvre roof as per above advice. If you notice any damage or loose parts, isolate the area and contact a professional immediately.

*Failure to maintain your louvre roof system appropriately may result in warranty becoming void.

Each unique system offers a wind rating up to Beaufort class 11 (up to 117km/h).

All systems are manufactured to size using high grade 6063 extruded aluminium profiles finished with thermosetting powder coating which provides superior overall performance for exterior product applications. All bolts, screws and pins are high grade stainless steel to ensure extended system life. The Rafter profiles have been designed with unique water guard side channels and allow for projection of up to 10m dependent on the system. The width dimensions are customised according to site requirements and available in any size up to 13m. Retractable Pergola Systems off large spanning waterproof coverage at the touch of button but when required linking multiple systems is also possible and made easy by our patented storm channel joining system that ensures 100% waterproof join every time.

Remote controlled motorisation is provided by utilising European technology through a custom built direct drive motor system to ensure smooth and quick operation at 26RPM. The optional hi powered LED-TEC lighting system provides a practical touch of class and when coupled with a remote dimming controller allows the user to change the mood to suit the surrounding environment. The heart of the system is driven by multiple 2-6 wheeled slider carriages that incorporates a triple layer barrier system and works in conjunction with a timing belt that has been reinforced with multiple internal stainless steel cables to provide a pulling strength of over 966kg. This tension is applied to the fabric membrane to allow an angle of 6 degrees fall possible and ensure all water drains away.

The fire rated and 100% waterproof architectural membrane is available in a range of colours in both opaque and transparent that provides maximum stability and resistance to temperature, moisture and dirt. It does not shrink or bag, and the acrylic top coating makes it very easy to clean for years to come. When not in use the fabric is neatly retracted under the systems hood to provide protection from the elements when not required.

To ensure the highest level of protection all retractable pergola systems focus on all the details, this is why all systems come standard finished with Stormguard soft touch edge seal on all parameters. Stormguard provides the ultimate protection against rain and draught intrusion around the outside of the system and is only available on our systems. Stormguards soft touch edge seal is produced from an extra soft & flexible rubber to ensure the best possible protection from the elements.

What is the time-frame for the installation of my Retractable Pergola?

The installation time can vary from job to job and is dependent on factors such as permit requirements, work conditions and project size.

As a rough guide for a small residential job, the design, manufacture, supply and installation takes anywhere between 4-20 weeks (import may take longer).

Time frames are completely job dependent. The team will be able to give you a rough estimate of lead times after quoting. Looking at our recent projects may also give you an indication of timings.
