Introducing the SunPivot louvre roof

The SunPivot pivoting louvre roof is the latest generation of Juralco’s tried and tested pivoting louvre roof. Originally known as the HomePlus louvre roof with its pivoting blades to let the sun and air through, the product has undergone a complete redevelopment with its redesign offering stronger louvre blades, beams and legs.

Each SunPivot is custom-made for every project and can be fixed onto all styles and shapes of homes. No supporting structures are required for installation, providing flexibility for the SunPivot to be placed in a separate outdoor area to bring your vision for year-round alfresco entertaining to life.

Available in integrated, wall-mounted, or freestanding configurations it expertly combines the traditional New Zealand veranda or gazebo concept with a modern louvred roof for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Features:

Five-year manufacturer warranty.
15 or 25-year Dulux Powder Coating surface finish warranty.
Unique end pivot design technology provides a more weather-resistant roof when closed.
Integrated gutter reduces leaks and provides a clean and seamless look.
Gutter box: Exclusive solid aluminium gutter box and cover plates avoid ugly silicone corner joints.
Hidden gutter drain pipes run inside support posts to provide a clean architectural finish.
Integrated (outer beam) optional drop-down screen system available.
Louvres can pivot up to 90 degrees.
Glaslide glass sliding doors and Louvrelite 88 sliding louvre screens can be added.

The SunPivot is a modern louvred roof that provides a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Sliding glass doors or dropdown awnings can be added to Juralco's outdoor living systems to increase their functionality and comfort year-round.

The SunFold: a brand-new louvre roof system

A retracting and folding louvre roof, the SunFold can be fully closed, partially open and pivoted, or fully retracted and stacked to one side.

“It retracts open so you’re looking at the sky above, rather than at tilted louvre blades,” says Rawling.

Like the SunPivot, all SunFold Louvre Roofs are custom-designed for each project’s specific requirements and can be powder-coated in the finish of your choice.

Features:

Five-year manufacturer warranty.
15 or 25-year Dulux Powder Coating surface finish warranty.
Unique end pivot design technology.
Integrated gutter.
Gutter box: Exclusive solid aluminium gutter box and cover plates avoid ugly silicone corner joints.
Hidden gutter drain pipes run inside support posts to provide a clean architectural finish.
Louvres can pivot up to 90 degrees.
Glaslide glass sliding doors and Louvrelite 88 sliding louvre screens can be added.
Retract the roof to up to 75 per cent of the roof area.
Partially tilt and retract louvres to control light and airflow or tightly close for weather protection.
Ability to integrate on outer beam Solarzip drop-down screen optional.

The SunFold retracts up to 75 per cent of the roof area.

The SunFold's louvres pivot up to 90 degrees.

The VelaSun: a new pergola roof solution

The VelaSun Outdoor Living System is an ideal solution for extra outdoor shelter for the home.

An elegant aluminium, fixed outdoor pergola system designed to shelter your outdoor entertainment area from harsh sun and rain, it’s a perfect fixed canopy for New Zealand’s variable weather conditions.

“This is a fixed roof system, whereas the SunPivot and SunFold are folding and pivoting – they open to some degree. However, this is a pergola with an aluminium frame and you can have it with or without any infill; it can be an open-sky pergola or you can have a glass or polycarbonate infill,” says Rawling.

“The feedback that we’ve received from our installation network, and also from customers is that this is an attractive product for them, and so we’ve introduced this to the market to fulfil that need.”

Features:

Durable extruded aluminium frame.
Minimal maintenance.
Roof infill available as UV-resistant polycarbonate roofing or glass. A roofless version is also available.
Enhance outdoor spaces.
The frame can be powder-coated in a wide range of colours.
Easy installation.
Custom built.
Versatile design.
Optional extra like LED lighting available.

The VelaSun is a fixed outdoor pergola system with infill available as grey tinted polycarbonate or glass of your choice.

“This is a versatile pergola with an aluminium frame and you can have it with or without any infill; it can be an open-sky pergola or you can have a glass or polycarbonate infill,” says Rawling.

Custom made in New Zealand

All outdoor living systems by Juralco are designed and manufactured in New Zealand, and they are custom-made for every project. “We tailor our products for customers’ individual requirements,” says Rawling.

“We have a nationwide network of installers across New Zealand’s North and South Islands. We are available for technical assistance over the phone, or our dedicated team via the internet. We also have specification spaces on our website where a specifier or design professional can upload supporting technical documents for any council consent process, including a producer statement, technical manuals, compliance information and general guidance. We can also assist if there are any non-standard fixings that they want to use, or they want to use a louvre roof in conjunction with something else, then that’s something our internal engineers and design team can also provide guidance and assistance with.”
