Adjustable Louver Awnings
Adjustable Louver Awnings are outdoor shading structures with slats (louvers) that can be tilted to control sunlight, ventilation, and rain protection.
The louvers can be manually or motorized to tilt open or closed, allowing you to adjust the amount of light and airflow.
When fully closed, most high-quality louver awnings provide water resistance by channeling rainwater through an integrated gutter system.
Yes, they are designed to be durable, with some models rated to withstand high wind loads. However, it's recommended to close them in extreme weather conditions.
Most are made from aluminum, which is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and durable, though some may have steel or wood components.
They are available in both options—manual systems use a hand crank, while motorized systems operate via remote control or even smart home integration.
Yes, they help reduce heat gain by blocking direct sunlight and promoting airflow, keeping outdoor areas cooler.
Yes, many suppliers offer customization options to fit different spaces and aesthetic preferences.
Prices vary based on size, materials, and features (motorized vs. manual). Expect costs to range from R1,500 to R4,500 per square meter in South Africa.
They require minimal maintenance—regular cleaning with water and mild soap and occasional checks on moving parts and drainage systems.
Aluminium Ceilings
Aluminium ceilings are ceiling systems made from lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant aluminium panels, often used in commercial and residential spaces.
Fire-resistant
Moisture and rust-resistant
Lightweight yet durable
Low maintenance
Available in various designs and finishes
They are ideal for offices, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, airports, hotels, kitchens, and bathrooms due to their moisture resistance and modern aesthetic.
Yes, aluminium ceilings are highly resistant to moisture and are commonly used in humid environments like bathrooms and kitchens.
Aluminium ceilings come in various styles, including:
Lay-in or clip-in panels
Perforated designs for better acoustics
Woodgrain, matte, or metallic finishes
Yes, especially perforated aluminium panels with sound-absorbing insulation, which help reduce noise levels in large spaces.
Unlike gypsum or PVC ceilings, aluminium ceilings are:
Stronger and more durable
Easier to maintain
Fireproof and moisture-resistant
Prices depend on the design and brand, but typically range from R250 to R1,200 per square meter in South Africa.
Aluminium ceilings use a suspended system, with panels clipped or laid into a grid structure for easy installation and access to utilities.
They require minimal maintenance—just regular cleaning with a damp cloth to remove dust and stains.
Carports and Patio Covers
Carports are structures built to provide shelter for vehicles, typically featuring a roof supported by posts and open sides.
Patio Covers are roofed structures designed to provide shade and shelter over outdoor living spaces, like patios or decks.
Common materials include:
Steel for durability and strength
Aluminum for lightweight, corrosion resistance
Timber for a natural, aesthetic look
Polycarbonate for weather resistance and light filtering
It depends on your location and the size of the structure. In some cases, planning permission is required for larger installations or structures close to property boundaries. Always check with local authorities before installation.
Carports protect your vehicle from the elements, extending its lifespan by preventing sun, rain, and hail damage.
Patio Covers offer shade, protect furniture from UV damage, and create a comfortable outdoor living area.
Yes, both structures can be customized in size, design, material, and color to suit your specific needs and aesthetic preferences.
Prices vary based on material, size, and design. On average:
Carports range from R5,000 to R20,000
Patio Covers range from R7,000 to R30,000
Yes, both are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including rain, snow, and UV rays, depending on the material. Polycarbonate and aluminum are particularly resistant to the elements.
Installation times vary, but typically range from 1-3 days, depending on the complexity of the design and whether the structure is prefabricated or custom-built.
Yes, both can enhance the curb appeal of your property and provide functional outdoor spaces, which can potentially increase the resale value of your home.
Carports may require occasional cleaning, especially the roof, and checks for any structural damage.
Patio Covers may need periodic cleaning of the roof, gutters, and supports to prevent debris buildup, especially if made from wood or aluminum.
