Everything You Need to Know About LouvreSpan Patio Covers
Your questions, answered
At LouvreSpan, we believe being informed leads to inspired choices. Whether you’re designing a deck, entertaining space, or cozy outdoor corner, here’s everything you need to know to get started.
1. No Design Limits—Let Your Creativity Flow
Dream it, and we’ll build it. Our patio covers can take any shape—whether that’s angled, curved, parallel, or perpendicular to your home. If you can imagine it, we can make it real.
2. Effortless Cleaning & Long-Lasting Performance
Made from rust-resistant aluminium, keeping your louvre clean is a breeze. A simple hose-down does the trick, and for tougher build-up, hot, soapy water is enough to restore that fresh look.
3. Live Life on Your Terms—Open or Closed, You Choose
Whether it’s full sun, shade, or shelter from rain—our adjustable louvres give you the freedom to adapt your outdoor space to whatever the weather brings.
4. Colour That Matches Your Style
We offer sophisticated standard tones like white and grey, or you can browse the full Dulux Duralloy and Duratec range to match your design preferences.
5. Size? Go Big—or Build Within Local Rules
There are no size limits to our covers. Just remember—under New Zealand rules, you can install up to 30 m² of covered pergola without building consent. For larger projects, we’ll help you navigate the consent process seamlessly.
6. Fit Seamlessly Onto Existing Structures
Already have a deck or pergola frame? No worries. LouvreSpan is engineered to attach to existing structures—whether built from wood, metal, or concrete.
7. Rain Without the Racket
Our extruded aluminium louvres are designed so rain gently slides off—meaning you’ll hear less noise compared to traditional plastic roofs.
8. Only the Pros Please
For quality, safety, and warranty, we recommend installation by a LouvreSpan-approved installer—not DIY.
9. Built for NZ—and Built With Our Planet in Mind
Our high-grade aluminium is fully recyclable, and our systems help reduce reliance on heating or cooling by extending your usable living space outdoors.
10. Wind-Tested for Peace of Mind
Every system is tested in a wind tunnel to handle up to 200 kPa. We’ll design your louvre roof with your local wind conditions in mind to make sure it performs reliably no matter what Mother Nature brings.
11. Smart Drainage—Built-In Guttering Options
Depending on your design, your LouvreSpan roof can either channel water into your existing gutters or divert it into a box gutter—keeping water away from your home.
12. Almost Totally Water-Tight
Our Santoprene-sealed louvres are about 95% watertight—meaning you stay dry, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
13. Local Focus: Serving Greater Auckland
We currently service the Greater Auckland area—so we’re neighbors, hands-on, and ready to help.
14. Warranty You Can Trust
Enjoy peace of mind with our extensive warranties—covering both craftsmanship and longevity. You can read all the details over on our warranty page.
