Water Management

Designed for rain, not just shade.

When the roof closes, water runs off the louvers into the gutter system and is routed down through the structure, not onto your furniture.

  1. 1

    Louver

    Closed blades shed water toward the perimeter.

  2. 2

    Perimeter gutter

    Integrated 3" × 5-1/2" gutter collects runoff.

    Internal drainage

    Concealed water-management options keep the roof clean.

  4. 4

    Downspout / post drainage

    Controlled discharge at the base of the structure.

Fully closed louver roof

A sealed roof line, on command.

Closed blades create a clean, continuous roof surface for weather protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a pergola kit?
No. This is our architectural automatic louver system. The structure is configured around the project rather than forcing the project into predetermined kit dimensions.

Can the patio be custom sized?
Yes. Dimensions, beam layouts, roof zones and support conditions can be configured around the project, subject to structural requirements and engineering.
Is this available nationwide?
Yes. Aluglobus can supply systems nationwide, with installation availability depending on the project location.
Can it be wall-mounted or freestanding?
Yes, both. Wall-mounted designs connect structurally with the building; freestanding designs use four or more posts.
Can the system cantilever?
Cantilever configurations are available where project conditions and engineering allow.
Can you add lighting?
Yes. LED strips, recessed lighting and custom lighting arrangements can be incorporated into the design.
Can I add fans or heaters?
Yes, depending on the configuration and electrical / structural requirements.
Can screens be added?
Motorized and other screen solutions can be incorporated into many configurations.
What aluminum is used?
The architectural system uses structural extruded aluminum, including 6063-T6, 6061-T6 and 6005-T6 depending on the component.
What material is the louver blade?
The automatic louver blade uses 6005-T6 aluminum and carries a 30-year blade warranty. The system carries a 25-year limited warranty. Terms and exclusions apply.
How does rain drainage work?
When closed, the louver roof directs water toward an integrated gutter and drainage system, then down through downspouts or post drainage.
Is engineering available?
Yes. Project-specific engineering can be provided or coordinated depending on location and project requirements.
What do you need from me to quote?
Dimensions, plans, photos or architectural drawings. Even a rough sketch with measurements is enough to start.
Who installs it?
Installation is by contractor, authorized partner or project team depending on location. Contractors receive drawings and installation guidance.
