An opening roof uses adjustable aluminium louvres that can be opened, angled or closed depending on the conditions.

Open the louvres to let in sunlight and fresh air, adjust them for shade and airflow, or close the roof when you need protection from the weather.

A fixed roof provides permanent cover, while an opening roof gives you more control over the conditions underneath it.

The adjustable louvres allow you to change the amount of sunlight, shade and airflow throughout the day and across the seasons.

Yes. Eclipse systems are designed with South Australian conditions in mind, including summer heat, strong sun, wind and rain.

We assess the property, orientation and exposure as part of the design process so the system is suited to the individual site.

When fully closed, the interlocking louvres are designed to provide protection from rain, with water directed through the system’s integrated drainage.

As with any outdoor structure, performance can depend on the design, installation and conditions at the site.

Eclipse opening roof systems can incorporate rain-sensing technology that automatically closes the louvres when rain is detected.

Once closed, water is directed away through the roof’s drainage system.

Yes. That’s one of the main advantages of an adjustable louvre roof.

You can change the angle of the louvres to let in more sunlight, create shade or increase airflow depending on the weather and how you’re using the space.

In many cases, yes.

An Eclipse system can be designed as an attached structure or as a freestanding outdoor area. We’ll assess the existing property, structure, dimensions and site conditions before recommending the best approach.

Yes. Every Eclipse system is designed around the individual property rather than supplied as a standard, one-size-fits-all structure.

The size, layout, orientation, existing architecture and intended use of the outdoor area all influence the final design.

Eclipse systems are available in a range of powder-coated finishes, allowing the structure to complement your home and existing outdoor area.

Our team can take you through the available options during the design process.

Depending on the design, additional features such as integrated lighting, fans, heating and outdoor blinds may be incorporated into your outdoor area.

It’s best to discuss these features early so they can be considered as part of the overall design.

Approval requirements can vary depending on the property, council, size and type of structure.

We’ll discuss the requirements relevant to your project during the planning process and let you know what needs to happen before work begins.

Timing varies depending on the size and complexity of the project, product selection, approvals and current lead times.

We’ll explain the expected timeframe for your project before you commit and keep you updated as it progresses.

Eclipse systems are backed by a 10-year structural guarantee.

Additional warranties may apply to individual components and finishes. We’ll provide the relevant warranty information for your system as part of your project documentation.

Opening roof systems are designed to be relatively low maintenance, but regular care will help keep everything operating as it should.

Keeping the roof, gutters and drainage areas clear of dirt, leaves and debris is important, along with following the recommended care instructions for your particular system.

Potentially. It depends on the condition and construction of the existing structure and what you’d like to achieve.

We can assess the area and advise whether an existing structure can be incorporated into the new design or whether a different approach would make more sense.

You don’t need to know before you contact us.

Tell us about your property, how you use the outdoor area and what you’d like to improve. We’ll look at the space and talk you through the options that make sense for your project.
