Come rain or shine

When preparing for outdoor entertaining, the one thing you can never plan for is the weather be it extreme heat or a veritable downpour.

An adjustable roofing system from Vergola can protect your outdoor living areas from the changeable nature of the Australian climate.

Vergola's managing director, Jitendra Ragunath, says the interlocking Colorbond Steel louvres automatically close to form a weatherproof shelter, creating a comfortable year-round entertaining environment.

"At the first hint of rain, a built-in automatic rain sensor will close the louvres, returning to the predetermined setting when the shower has passed," he says.

When left open, Vergola louvres can either be set to let in full sunlight, or be used to provide varying degrees of shade.

"The double-skin louvres minimise the amount of heat transmitted from direct sunlight, thereby reducing the hothouse effect. By opening the louvres slightly, a thermal air flow is created, pleasantly cooling the area."

Vergola also provides shade and protection over balconies, swimming pools and carports, as well as commercial and industrial situations such as cafes, shopping centres and sporting facilities.
