Shades of Comfort
Make the most of your school, college or university outdoor spaces with a retractable roof
We have many years’ experience of working with schools, colleges and higher education institutions across the UK to provide a wide range of retractable roof systems from a number of the world’s leading manufacturers such as Gibus, Pratic and Weinor. Elegant and discreet, a retractable roof provides exceptional protection from the sun, wind and rain at the touch of a button. This innovative shading solution is ideal for schools, colleges or universities who are looking to maximise the use of their outside space.
Our team can help with any business case you might need to put together for the investment whether that be with governors, authorities or funding sources.
Unsurprisingly in the COVID 19 era, these systems have become increasingly popular enabling educational establishments to significantly increase capacity in these socially distanced times. The extent of the ventilation makes them a re-assuring option and much more aesthetically pleasing than temporary structures like marquees.
Louve Roof Systems
A variation on the standard retractable roof system is the Louvre Roof System. A freestanding or leaning structure with roof blades that rotate to provide partial or complete blockage of sunlight entering from above. The roof blades are watertight when shut and can open to a 140° angle to allow natural ventilation and sunlight to enter from above.
Our Louvre Roof Systems which sometimes are referred to as Bioclimatic Pergolas are stunning pieces of architectural design which radiate elegance and sophistication. With over 15 years’ experience of product development on Louvre Systems, 4 years development exclusively on bioclimatic systems, and numerous patents on the individual product designs themselves, unique design and exclusivity is guaranteed with us.
