    Translucent Roofing Info & Inspiration

    Enjoy more outdoor time with translucent roofing and louvres 

    Quick links:  Inspiration Our Range Popular Products

    Kiwis love their outdoor living – but are not so fond of the rain or harsh UV. Adding translucent roofing not only lets the light in and shields you from the elements, but also makes the outdoor space more useable – all year round. Lightweight and at a fraction of the cost of glass, modern-day polycarbonate roofing is guaranteed for years and is available in a range of tints and profiles.

    Technology has advanced so much that you can even opt for a roof that cools as well as protects your family from UV. Or, if budget allows, go that one step further with fully automatic aluminium louvres – that close when rain is sensed.

    Whether you are building a pergola, veranda, or gazebo, or simply want to add a clear panel to an existing roof, we have a range of products to meet your budgets and needs.
