Elevate Outdoor Kitchen Designs with Opening Roofs

One of the most requested additions in residential architecture is the creation of a functional, outdoor living area. Perfectly catering to the overflow the summer period brings, an outdoor kitchen means no one has to leave gatherings and disappear inside to start the evening meal. The afternoons transition seamlessly into long evenings with friends and family.

A Louvretec covered space is not limited by walls and partitions, letting homeowners open up their homes to their outdoor spaces. Indoor-outdoor flow is enjoyed and appreciated. New spaces can add to the home in so many ways, giving homeowners and guests more room to spread out and maximise time spent with family and friends.

Custom built to each project's precise requirements and wind zones, a Louvretec Opening Roof will give deck areas welcome operable shade protection and atmosphere.

Think open, think free, think beautiful.

Be inspired by the images above of Louvretec Opening Roofs that are a key component of a stunning outdoor kitchen.
