Integration with Existing Structures: If you're considering adding a louvre roof to an existing Pergola or patio, it’s crucial to ensure that the current structure can accommodate the new addition without compromising on stability or style.
Customization Options: During the design phase, consider all customization options including color, finish, and operational mechanisms to perfectly match your home’s exterior and your personal style.
