How much does a louvre roof cost in Sydney?

Louvre roofs generally start from around $12,000 for a smaller system and range up to $45,000+ for large motorised roofs with integrated lighting and rain sensors. Size and motorisation are the main cost factors.

Are louvre roofs waterproof?

When closed, quality louvre roofs interlock to shed rain, with integrated guttering to channel water away. Motorised systems can include rain sensors that close the roof automatically when it starts to rain.

Do I need council approval for a louvre roof?

Many louvre roofs can be built under exempt or complying development, but it depends on size, location and your property. We manage engineering, certification and any council applications as part of the project.

Are motorised louvre roofs more expensive?

Yes — motorised systems cost more than manual louvre roofs because of the motors, controls and electrical work involved. They're the most popular choice for main living and entertaining areas thanks to effortless, automated control.

Can a louvre roof be added to an existing patio?

In many cases yes. A louvre roof can replace or be integrated with an existing patio structure, provided it's structurally suitable. We assess this during your free on-site consultation.
