Vergola Louvre Roof – Colour Options

Your Vergola roof louvres can add colour and style to your outdoor space and either contrast or match the rest of the house. Roof louvre colour options can include a combination of
shades to enhance the design of your Vergola open/close system.

There are also other powder coating choices in the standard range of COLORBOND hues, but the eight standard colours were chosen by Vergola in keeping with Australia’s natural environment, and many local council rules.

The lovely standard Vergola roof louvre colours include :

●  Surf Mist

●  Metallic

●  Shale Grey

●  Woodland Grey

●  Dune

●  Windspray

●  Paperbark

●  Classic Cream

 

Vergola is the original louvre opening roof systems that add versatility, comfort, functionality and energy efficiency to your home, creating a stylish extra room to enjoy all year.

 

Why Does Vergola Use Standard Louvre Roof Colours?

Vergola uses standard COLORBOND colours in their louvre roofs for a quick turnaround from design to the installation of your new indoor/outdoor system. However, for an extra
cost, you are free to choose a different COLORBOND powder coated finish or shade.

The powder coating used in the manufacture of Vergola louvre roof systems allows for customisation, which ensures your system is uniquely yours both in colour, size, shape and finish.

Ideas for Your Indoor/Outdoor Space

A Vergola design consultant is available to visit your home to assist with the design and colour options. Your Vergola design and colour should be a seamless and natural extension of your home. So, between your ideas and our consultant’s input, we can design exactly what you want and what is possible with your new louvre roof system.

People can get very creative with their outdoor living spaces. Some homeowners add features such as incredible outdoor kitchens, fans, television sets, pizza ovens and fireplaces and some amazing kitchen equipment that transforms the way they live as they blend the outdoors with the interiors of their homes.

 

Vergolas adorn more than 12,000 homes across Sydney and Northern NSW and 2020 marks 32 years of business success. We invite you to discover what makes Vergola such a great outdoor louvre roofing solution.

 

Designing the Perfect Outdoor Living Area

 

Outdoor living spaces are popular for a reason. If well-designed, a roofed outdoor area can add comfort, functionality and style to your home. A Vergola louvre roof system enhances
your lifestyle, moulding a living space you can use all year round.

Designing the ideal outdoor living area for your home means there are many things to consider :

●  Direction

Think about the location and which direction it will face. A north-facing outdoor space
will be different from east, west or southerly aspects which determine where the sun
will shine at different times of the day.

●  Function

What functions will your outdoor space perform? What kind of outdoor furniture will
be installed in there and will it cope with exposure to the elements if your area is
unroofed? If you want a Vergola, what style do you prefer?

●  Seasonal Use

How will your outdoor living area be used at different times of the year? Your outdoor room will need shade in the summertime and cooling, and in winter you’ll want to allow as much sun and warmth in as possible. Shade can be a simple umbrella, shade cloths, or a permanently built structure. But the ultimate shade solution is an open and closing louvre roof system by Vergola.

Tips For Choosing a Permanent Roofing Solution

There are various options available to you to help you choose a permanent or opening and closing roof structure, with flat roofs, A-frame and skillion roofs the most popular. With a flat
roof design, you can’t go wrong since it suits most homes. A skillion or sloping roof can slope either down and away from your home or upwards. The A-frame is the most simple form
which comprises two beams attached at the top and a 45-degree angle (or more).

Vergola open/close louvre roof systems can accommodate any style of home and design a covering that is the ideal outdoor solution for your home. If you’re looking for “louvred roof systems near me” online, don’t scroll past Vergola if you want the best louvred roof pricing in Australia.

We can design a Vergola to fit, whether you want to enhance the roofing on your existing outdoor space to blend in with the style of your house, or you want to add a new louvred roofing system.

 

Vergola is the original and best open/close roof system on the market.

We’ve installed more than 12,000 Vergolas in homes and businesses across Sydney and Northern New South Wales since 1988.

 

Vergola Roofs Tailored to Suit Your Home

We can build you a Vergola with tailor-made columns or with features that complement a Federation or period home, and we can even put one in an unusually shaped or small space. Whether you want a louvred roof for a patio, or existing pergola, a courtyard, verandah, or even a pool area, there’s a Vergola that will fit perfectly.

It’s Vergola’s superior design and quality, plus the exceptional customer service that makes our louvred roofing system preferable to other brands of opening roof systems time and again!

 

Vergola Roof Design Options

These are the design options for Vergola louvred roofing systems:

  • Flat Roof – This is one of our most popular designs because it suits most houses. The Vergola frame is flat and the louvres have a one-degree fall to control water runoff. The posts and frame can be powder-coated steel or timber.
  • Skillion Roof – A skillion roof is in effect a sloped roof design. The Vergola posts and frame are either powder-coated steel or timber.
  • Box Frame – This Vergola design has a premium look and suits rendered brick houses. The posts can be brick render or textured board with an inner steel post.
  • A-Frame – This Vergola A-frame design is two same-sized beams in a 45-degree or greater angle, attached at the apex.
  • Curved Beam – If your house is designed with curved features, we can tailor your Vergola louvred roof to complement the style.
  • Screens  – A Vergola louvred roof screen can be installed vertically to give you privacy and perfectly match your Vergola roofing system.

 

Vergola Louvred Roof Design and Operation

Vergolas are impressive, and one of the reasons is due to the design of the unique aerofoil wing shape of the louvres. This shape, plus the combination of the COLORBOND steel used to manufacture them, creates an air pocket that delivers superb strength and insulation compared to other traditional open/close roofing systems.

The louvres are angled at the touch of a button on the remote control during the winter to allow the warmth of the sun to penetrate and create a comfortable, warm and protected area that you can use all year round. And in the summertime, just angle the louvres in the other direction to reflect the heat outside, creating a wonderfully ventilated, naturally lit, cool and shaded ambience.

As a bonus, during wet conditions, a rain sensor in your Vergola automatically closes the roof at the first drop. The louvres overlap, creating a waterproof cover so you can enjoy your outdoor space undisturbed. No need to run and grab the remote to close the louvres! Also, the louvres are designed with water clearance in mind. They direct rainwater to the Vergola guttering that lines the inner part of the system’s framework. The water then runs down the gutters and into your home’s stormwater system.

Will My Louvre Roofs be Watertight?

Yes, the reason we invented the Vergola residential opening roof systems was to not only enhance the area but to protect people who love their outdoor living and want a motorised louvred roof. With our Vergola, our clients can entertain, dine or relax in any weather in their outdoor area at their leisure without worrying about a sudden shower ruining things.

With our louvre systems, the louvre blades close (whether via the remote control device or the rain sensor) and overlap to create a watertight seal. The louvres are angled so that water runs into the Vergola guttering and is then directed down to the nearest clearance point. This point is usually your home’s stormwater drainpipe.

How Much Does a Vergola Open-Close Roof Cost?

The cost of your Vergola louvred opening and closing roof system for domestic purposes will depend on the design you choose. It also depends on how high you need your Vergola, the size of your outdoor living space, patio, deck, or terrace and the architecture of your existing house, and how available access is to the area. It also depends on whether you need us to provide a customised vertical design for the best coverage for your family.

How do I Organise to Have a Vergola Installed?

All you have to do is call us and we will arrange a Vergola Design Consultants to visit you and work with you so between your ideas and our expertise we can achieve the best design choices for your household.

How Louvre Roofs Are Innovating Outdoor Living

Outdoor living and entertaining are the new normal now with so many businesses and homeowners making use of their decks, patios and backyards by installing roofs for protection against the weather. But they’re not installing just any kind of roof. The products they want are louvres, which are the mainstays of the outdoor louvred roofing system industry. You could say the opposite is also happening – outdoor living is innovating louvred roof design.

For example, new designs by Vergola, encouraged by the new wave of outdoor living options mean you don’t have to open or close your louvred roofing system by hand. The remote gives you total control over the weather. But that’s not the only innovation because your Vergola has an automatic sensor that closes the louvres at the slightest hint of rain.

Vergola is the original and the best open/close louvred roof system on the market. 

We’re pioneers in the industry, and over the years we’ve changed the way people use their outdoor living spaces.

Innovative Outdoor Construction

Whether you’re planning an innovative outdoor entertaining space or you want to renovate an existing verandah or another area outside the main house, a Vergola is your best bet. Nothing beats a Vergola for versatility, durability and charm when it comes to the innovative outdoor construction of a space you can use whatever the weather is doing. Vergolas also protect your outdoor furniture from sun, wind and rain damage.

In 1984, leading Engineer Tony Rossiter created and designed the Vergola louvred roofing product in South Australia. In 1984 and 1987, his design for the Vergola was awarded both the Prince Phillip Design Award and the Australian Design Award.

Vergolas can enhance your living space, and the options are plenty, including:

  • Flat – the most popular, with one-degree-fall louvres for water control
  • Box Frame – suits rendered brick homes
  • A-frame – two beams in a 45-degree (or more) angle
  • Skillion – designed for sloping roofs
  • Tapered – innovative design features with a customised Vergola
  • Curved beam – to complement a curvy home
  • Insert  – For an innovative frame that suits your renovations, you can make your own and we’ll insert a Vergola roofing system for you.
  • Screens – the versatile Vergola can be installed vertically as a privacy screen

We install the louvres intending to allow water clearance. The wing-shaped louvres direct water to the Vergola guttering that lines the interior framework. The gutters disperse the water to the nearest clearance point, which is normally your home’s stormwater system down-pipe.

 

It’s the superior design and quality, plus our exceptional customer service that makes so many homeowners and businesses choose Vergola to innovate their outdoor covered spaces.

Over 12,000 Vergolas have been installed in homes and businesses all over Sydney and Northern NSW in the past 32 years.

 

Outdoor Louvred Roofing System

The beauty of the Vergola outdoor louvred roofing system is the innovative aerofoil louvres that open and close, and the rain sensor that shuts the roof automatically at the first hint of a downpour. Then there’s the fact that they’re made from Colorbond steel, which is the best and most durable steel product on the market in Australia today.

The aerofoil wing shape creates an air gap which brings greater insulation and toughness than any other traditionally-designed roofing system. Due to the innovative outdoor living provided by a Vergola, you can forget about the weather and enjoy your dinner party or family get together.

Vergolas have changed our lifestyles in more ways than one. Not only do they offer protection from the wind and rain for both people, flooring and furniture, their innovative design and construction means they keep your outdoor space cool in summer and warm in winter. This means you can use your Vergola all year round.

Why Louvre Roof Systems Are A Good Choice

A Vergola louvre opening roof system has several advantages over any of the outdoor living brands on the market using aluminium, including the cost. When choosing the best louvre roofing system for your home in Australia, Vergola surpasses the rest, offering not only an affordable cost and great value but a list of design factors that are the envy of our competition.

Vergola louvred roofing systems have a distinctive double-skinned Colorbond steel design that provides outstanding thermal insulation, unlike aluminium, which absorbs heat. The superb sound-reducing aerofoil technology used in manufacturing the louvres keeps out traffic noise or the racket going on next door. You can also increase ventilation and reduce heating and cooling costs with the adjustable louvre blades.

If windows are being protected by your Vergola, you can control how much or how little sunlight you want on them. Windows heat up as the sun shines on them, radiating warmth inside the house. In the hot summer, you don’t want the sun on the windows, so simply adjust the retractable blades to suit.

Some of the benefits of Vergola’s louvred roof systems and why they’re the best choice:

  • Light control
  • Durability
  • Weather protection
  • Smart design
  • Remote controlled
  • Rain sensor
  • Retractable aerofoil louvres
  • Energy efficiency
  • Design/configuration
  • Customisation/integration. 

 

Vergola is the original, versatile, open/close, louvred roof system that adds energy-efficiency and functionality, creating a snug and sheltered space for homes and businesses to enjoy all year. 

Vergolas adorn more than 12,000 homes across Sydney and Northern NSW.

 

 

About Vergola NSW Louvre Roof Systems

The louvred roofing system is designed and manufactured by Vergola in its Terrey Hills factory on Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches. The louvre roof system can provide winter warmth and refreshing coolness in the summer heat. The double skinned and unique aerofoil (wing-shaped) louvres on the Vergola create an air gap that insulates and reduces heat radiating into the living area below.

With the Vergola roof system’s adjustable blades, 89 per cent of all available light shines into your outdoor space. So, the Vergola louvred roof systems are the perfect choice for keeping the temperatures controlled in a covered area – a single-skinned aluminium louvre roof system just can’t compete.

The Vergola louvred roof system’s quality control is the top of the range, and for seamless attachment to a building, Vergola’s frame and beam cappings are superb!

 

Are Louvre Roofs and Outdoor Patios Waterproof ?

The Vergola louvre roofing system comes with efficient built-in rain protection via a sensor. This unique, interlocking design feature means the blades close when it rains. At the first drop of a shower, the roof shuts automatically, so there’s no need to worry. It can tackle anything that the Australian climate can throw at it, whether it be a natural breeze, sun, wind or rain.

And when it’s not raining, you can simply adjust the angle of the blades with the remote control for the perfect balance of sunshine, shade and ventilation to suit the weather conditions and the seasons. Under normal conditions, the Vergola opening roofs are rainproof but in a storm, in very heavy rain and strong wind, a small amount of rain could enter. However, there’s an optional weather seal for optimal protection!

Our Australian climate can be quite unpredictable, especially in residential areas. Vergola opening and closing louvre roofs are made with Colorbond steel and can provide you with excellent protection from breeze, wind and natural elements. The motorised and retractable Vergola louvre roofs allow you to choose the settings that suit you as there are various options available to make it operable according to your needs at home. The opening roof that you choose can be designed according to your custom requirements and all opening roofs come with a family warranty so you can be assured that you’re protected.

How much does a Vergola Louvre Roof System Cost ?

A Vergola outdoor living roof system can be customised to suit your needs so you can enjoy the experience of a louvre roof to protect you from the weather and mother nature.

Our louvre roofs transform your patio area outside and provide you with shade on hot days and enable you to enjoy the sun on cooler days. The cost of our Vergola opening roof range and designs depends on factors and products such as lighting options, blinds, motorised and operable systems according to your requirements. You can call or contact our team for a quote to find out the benefits of our louvre roofs and how they can provide you with space so you can enjoy your outdoor living space with your loved ones.

Made in Australia Using Quality Colorbond Steel

Colorbond steel is well known as the toughest and most reliable roofing material on the market, and it’s made in Australia for our weather conditions. That’s why Vergola louvre roof systems use Colorbond steel, chosen for the roofs of almost half of all new homes built in this country.

Colorbond is made from Zincalume steel coated with an aluminium/magnesium/zinc alloy with a conversion layer on the steel surface as a bonding agent. The finishing touch is an exterior-grade paint baked onto the surface to protect it from peeling, cracking and chipping. That’s why our Vergola roof louvre systems retain their new look for much longer.

Vergola’s open/close louvred roofing system can be incorporated into a variety of structures, either as part of an existing building or freestanding, so if you’re searching online for ‘louvred roof systems near me’ don’t go past Vergola.
