Crisp white aluminium ceiling over a patio, lit by recessed downlighters

Ceiling below, roof above

Patio Ceilings

One product, two jobs: a smooth flat ceiling of enclosed aluminium panels when you look up, and a solid aluminium roof from above. The modern finish for patios, homes, offices and commercial spaces in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

How it's built

Enclosed panels below, an integrated box gutter above

Our patio ceiling is a flat plane of enclosed 200 mm aluminium panels when you look up, and a powder-coated structure of aluminium beams and poles above. An integrated box gutter with concealed downpipes is built into the frame, so rain is channelled away instead of dripping around the perimeter.

Panels and frame are powder-coated aluminium, so the ceiling will not rust, rot, sag or warp, and never needs repainting. Just a clean, flat plane over the space.

  • Enclosed 200 mm aluminium panels, flat and seamless from below
  • Powder-coated beams & poles in the full colour range
  • Integrated box gutter & concealed downpipes
  • Wide single spans (around 6 m) with minimal posts
  • 10-year guarantee on materials, 1 year on workmanship

The finish

Elegant by day, brilliant by night

Because the ceiling is a solid, enclosed plane, downlight wiring runs concealed inside it during fabrication and the fittings sit flush with the panels. We wire it in at installation, and the patio becomes an evening room, not just an afternoon one.

Homes, offices, restaurants and shops all use it for the same reason: it makes an outdoor or semi-outdoor space look deliberately finished.

Planning & pricing

How ceiling quotes are built

Ceiling work is priced from the panel layout up. The quote follows the room, the spec and the access, and you get it in writing before anything is ordered.

Area to cover

Ceiling panels are priced by area: the size of the patio, room or office is the starting point of every quote.

Interior or exterior

An exterior ceiling doubles as the patio roof with its integrated box gutter and downpipes; an interior ceiling is a lighter, simpler install.

Lighting

Downlighter cutouts and wiring routes are planned into the panel layout, and the number of fittings affects material and time.

Height & access

Standard ceiling height installs quickly; double volume spaces and restricted access need more setup.
