Design
Engineered to meet Building Code 3604 – Can withstand winds up to 198km/hr
Does not leave open faces where inclement weather can come in – Product has been developed over many years to ensure aesthetic conformity with NZ’s residential architecture
Frame Construction
Fabricated using aluminium and powder-coated in the customer’s choice of colour – 410 Stainless steel fixings used – a hardened version of marine grade stainless steel
Posts are 100mm square – Frame is made of 50 x 80mm square tube – Ten-year guarantee
Roof Construction
The ‘membrane’ for the roof comes with a 10-year guarantee – It doesn’t support the growth of mould, mildew or lichen when kept clean from foreign matter or contaminants (i.e. dirt, pollen)
Reduces solar radiant heat (providing shade relief) – Doesn’t significantly reduce ambient light, meaning it won’t unduly darken the adjacent interior
Maintains its elasticity for the life of the product – it doesn’t become brittle over time unlike polycarbonate roofing materials
Due to it being ‘stretched’ over the frame like a drum skin, its elasticity means brittle debris such as bird droppings will wash off in heavy rain It is thermally stable so it won’t become loose in hot weather or too taut in cold climates
It’s tensile strength ensures it meets Building Code 3604 and can withstand high wind zones – It is a commercial-grade membrane that is used in large industrial and commercial applications (i.e. airports and transport hubs around the world)
