New from Louvretec, the 180/30 Slimline Opening Roof replaces our 180 Linear and 180 Classic Opening Roofs. The modern slimline design works well with the narrower 180mm wide Louvres. Like the other 3 Slimline Roofs, the 180/30 Roof features a flat bottom with a sleek, tapering top. This Slimline Roof is the smallest in the series.
