Opening Roofs Central Coast – Control Sun, Light & Air
Explore our opening roof projects
Control sun, shade and airflow with a custom opening roof
Make your outdoor area more usable with an opening roof designed around your home, layout and budget. Adjustable louvres let you choose how much sun, shade and airflow you want throughout the day.
With the blades closed, the roof is designed to direct rainwater into its guttering. Performance depends on design, installation, site exposure, wind-driven rain and maintenance. An opening roof is not a sealed roof and cannot be guaranteed leak-free in every condition.
