Our signature product
Louvre Awnings
Control sunlight, airflow and shade with a turn of the handle. Open the blades to 82° for winter sun, close them completely and the rain stays out, in Cape Town, Johannesburg and everywhere we work.
Blades open to 82°
How it works
Sun when you want it, weather-tight when you don't
The louvres open and close with a perfect-ratio gearbox, light enough that even children can operate it. One and a half turns takes the blades from fully open to fully closed.
Open them to 82° for all the summer sun, part them to let light in while keeping direct glare out, or close them completely to stop the rain. In winter the low sun still angles in under the blades to warm the house.
About the gearbox & drainage
Marine-grade aluminium
Built to last
Corrosion-free and maintenance-free
Every louvre is pre-painted, baked aluminium in your choice of 23 colours: no rust, no repainting, no maintenance. It protects your windows, curtains and furniture from UV, keeps rain off slippery tiles and stops doors from swelling.
- 10-year guarantee on materials, 1 year on workmanship
- Cools the house in summer, lets winter sun through at lower angles
- Adds real value: it reads as architecture, not an add-on
Planning & pricing
Where the money goes on a louvre awning
No two louvre awnings leave the factory the same size, so the price is built from your measurements and your structure. Here is what the consultant looks at before you get a written, no-obligation quote.
Size & number of bays
The area you want covered, and how many gear-operated banks of blades it takes to cover it, is the biggest single factor in the quote.
Structure & fixing
Fixing to a wall or fascia costs less than a freestanding frame on posts. Your consultant specifies the structure your site actually needs.
Gutters & drainage
Closed blades channel rain into the built-in gutter and downpipes. Longer gutter runs and extra downpipes add material and time.
Colour & finish
All 23 pre-painted, baked-on colours cost the same, and the finish never needs repainting, so there is nothing to budget for later.
Access
A ground-floor patio installs faster than a balcony or upper storey that needs scaffolding or lifting.
Extras
Awning lighting and side drop blinds can be added now or later, but adding them with the install is usually cheaper than a return visit.
- Engineered for South African wind zones: spans, fixings and supports are specified for your site's wind exposure in line with SANS 10160 wind-loading principles. Documentation for commercial and body-corporate projects on request.
- One accountable installer. We measure, manufacture and fit with our own teams, no subcontractors, so the quote you sign is the price you pay.
- Free on-site quote: a consultant measures your space and quotes in writing, with no obligation.
