Now YOU can CONTROL THE WEATHER conditions in your own backyard with the Eclipse Opening Roof! Whether it be casual entertaining or relaxing with family and friends, your PRECIOUS TIME at home can be enjoyed to the full.

The Eclipse Opening Roof offers you prestige living all year round with its superbly engineered louvre system. At the simple touch of a button, the louvres rotate up to 180 degrees so that you can catch the sun, shield the wind or create shade as you like, before sealing closed for privacy and rain protection. When closed the louvres interlock tightly to form a strong and water tight roof.

No other home improvement can enhance the value of your home and the quality of your lifestyle like the Eclipse. With safety and security built into every component, performance and durability are guaranteed. Crafted from solid extruded aluminium, the Eclipse provides the ultimate protection in all seasons and gives you peace of mind with our 10 Year Guarantee.

How It Works

The Eclipse Opening Roof converts from a solid roof to an open louvre structure to suit prevailing weather conditions. The Eclipse Louvres rotate through 180 degrees by use of a small 12 volt DC motor which provides touch-button convenience. The motor is powered by a small transformer which plugs into a standard domestic outlet, or is powered by a rechargeable battery and solar cell system.

A range of Control Options are available including simple push button control, hand-held remotes and rain sensors. When closed, the Eclipse Louvres form a water tight seal to keep out rain. The louvres are powder coated or anodised to match building colours. The Eclipse Louvres are covered by a 10 Year Guarantee.

The extruded louvres have been designed to be trimmed to any length up to 3600 mm to suit any size project. The louvre has a SLIMLINE profile so that it fits unobtrusively into the frame work and allows maximum light through when required.
Pivot pins are made from 316 marine grade stainless steel or structural grade aluminium. Motor gearing is also 316 marine grade stainless steel.
Design Options

The Eclipse can be designed as a "stand alone" roofing structure or be incorporated into an existing patio structure incorporating fixed roof panels. Single sections or multiple sections can be built to cover large areas - the possibilities are almost limitless. Standard installations are constructed with a frame around the whole perimiter. The frame may be any material that provides sufficient structural integrity - steel, aluminium, timber or concrete. For example, timber or aluminium frames often consist of beam sections of size 150 x 50 mm or 200 x 50 mm. Typically an internal gutter is installed around the inside frame perimeter to channel water to a downpipe.

When a project does not require full drainage, the internal gutter can be deleted or installed only at the bottom drainage end. In addition, the two side beams can be deleted if the top and bottom beams provide sufficient structural support for rails that hold the louvres. Any shape or size can be accommodated. The Eclipse System can be installed flat, pitched, curved or angular or used vertically as a screen. Curved or angular sides are accommodated by customising the frame and gutter to suit. The louvres are trimmed to individual lengths to suit the frame. The pivot pins at the end of each louvre are then mounted on offset blocks to accommodate the different lengths of the louvres. A straight edge is required on one side where the Motor and Control Arm are mounted to allow operation of the louvres.
