Retractable Roofs
Description

Louvretec Retract Roofs create a functional outdoor space and sleek design to a home or building. New for 2023, Louvretec is proud to present two new retractable roofs, featuring a new best blade design:

  • 220/35 Slimline Retract
  • 220/45 Super Retract

Operate a Louvretec Retract Roof in two ways; adjust the angle of the blades when louvres are back in the overhead position (like Louvretec's standard opening roofs) to allow or omit sunlight as needed and then take it one step further by retracting the blades back to enjoy the sky above.

Key Features
  • Retract Roof: Roof blades stacks neatly back letting the user enjoy the sky above
  • Extend Back: Bring the roof blades back in place when operable overhead shelter is required
  • When the louvre blades are back in the overhead position the louvre blades can be operated opened or closed (and stopped in between as preferred) to follow the sun's path
