Design Features

Custom Size

Byron Bay is the perfect louvre roof pergola when you require a custom size that meets your specific needs, offering a versatile range of pergola design options that can enhance any outdoor space. These options include not only traditional roof-only structures but also innovative cantilevered designs, which provide an elegant and modern aesthetic. Whether you seek to create a cozy outdoor retreat or a spacious entertaining area, the flexibility of the louvre roof allows for optimal sunlight control and ventilation, ensuring comfort throughout the year.

Water Proof Louvre Roof

No more water leaks between the blades, thanks to the weather guard seal on each louvre blade, ensuring a waterproof louvered pergola roof. A big continuous gutter effectively drains water, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space and protect your furniture from weather elements.

Flat Ceiling Louvres

Our flat ceiling design louvered pergola provides a clean & modern look.

Moreover, you can adjust the pergola louvres from open to closed or anywhere in between 0-105 degrees with a remote. When closed, the weather guard seal prevents rain from coming through, keeping the area dry during wet weather.

Heavy-duty Custom Design Louvre Roof with Architectural Design and Finish

Made from strong extruded aluminium (6063 T6), known for its exceptional strength and durability, our products feature wide and thick components that enhance structural integrity and ensure long-lasting performance under extreme conditions. High-quality steel fittings provide additional support and stability, while each piece is finished with European powder coated paint, offering a sleek aesthetic and superior resistance to corrosion and wear, making our products ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

Endless possibilities

Byron Bay louvre roof system is a highly customizable product. Not only can you do exact width, projection, and height with support for creative designs like BBQ wall/window and cantilevered posts, but it also makes louvre pergola roofs suitable for a range of architectural applications in both residential and commercial projects.

Our detailed design consultation ensures to help you successfully turn your louvre pergola project into reality.

LED Lighting (Optional Add-on)

If you are thinking about ambient lighting for night time then our integrated Louvre LED lighting strips are a great choice for louvre pergolas. Cool and Warm white options provide suitable light

In addition, creating that perfect mood is only a touch away with our concealed RGB LED strips around the aluminium louvre roof perimeter.

Blinds (Optional Add-on)

If you are looking for added privacy and protection from weather elements, then adding our mesh blinds to your louvred roof is certainly a great option.

We make blinds from strong PVC mesh material and colour match with the louvre pergola frame. They fit seamlessly to the louvre pergolas.

Heaters (Optional Add-on)

Outdoor Heaters are great way to create a warm, cozy all season outdoor louvre roof pergola area.

Standard outdoor wall, portable heaters to custom designed heating solution from leading brands like HeatStrip and Bromic Heating are available. These can be added to the wall, especially under the beam or free-standing suiting variety of requirements for both residential and commercial areas.

Sliding Glass Doors (Optional Add-on)

Frameless sliding glass doors are a perfect addition to the modern aluminium pergolas when you don’t want to lose the view while protecting yourself from weather elements like wind or rain.

Made from strong 10mm tempered glass with matching color frame, they look an integral part of the pergola, offering a seamless look. With up to 6m span it can cover the pergola openings with an option to slide the doors either way or both ways.

Building Permit & Engineering

Please check with your local council whether a building permit is required.

Engineering certificate is needed to secure a building permit. Depending upon the size and design, either we can give an off-the-shelf certificate of compliance or we can help arrange one for an extra cost.

We recently purchased a "Noosa" louvered roof pergola.  We installed the large 6m x 4m pergola over much of a day with the help of some friends and we were all very impressed with the design and overall quality and appearance of the pergola.  It is very attractive and robust - well designed and engineered - and is a great new feature for entertaining in our back yard.  We found the process from ordering to installing quite easy, the documentation was very good and relatively easy to follow.  We were also very happy with the customer support from sale to post-installation - we found Anil very knowledgeable, professional and an all-round pleasure to deal with.  We would definitely recommend Modern Roofs to our friends and family for any pergola requirements

Our open balcony area was good, but open to the elements & restricted its use. Now we have a Modern Roof, it’s like an extra room to the house. We can’t say enough about Anil & his team at Modern roofs. The drawings, instruction, quality of product are all high quality. He answered all questions swiftly & professionally Looking forward to the hot summer on our cool Modern roofed balcony

We absolutely love our new pergola. The entire process was so seamless and easy. Anil from Modern Roofs was really responsive and supported our landscapers who were doing the installation. It looks stunning and is quite price competitive. Thank you so much for making it happen just in time for us to enjoy the sun!

Really awesome high quality product. Our goal was shade and privacy and we've achieved both in a stylish, contemporary way that complements our home beautifully - neighbors have also commented on what a nice feature for our home it is. Compared to the alternatives available Modern Roofs offer a product that is great value for money.

We chose to use modern roofs after chatting with Anil regarding our needs for a motorised pool cabana with louvre roof. His knowledge was excellent, and after we confirmed our requirements we were sent a shop drawing of our own, custom pool cabana confirming size and orientation of the louvres. You need to allow time to have the unit built and shipped, and someone to assemble it, but we were very impressed with the quality.

Anil and his team went to great lengths to ensure that the pergola was designed, engineered and installed. Anil worked with a local structural engineer to ensure our specific needs were met, and ensure compliance. He kept us informed through the entire process and coordinated installation through a local installer.  A1 service and a quality product. We could not be happier with the result. Tim and Danielle.
