Can I Add a Louvered Roof to a Pergola

Yes, you can add a louvered roof to a pergola. Louvered roofs are becoming increasingly popular for outdoor living spaces as they offer adjustable shade and protection from the elements. They also provide ventilation, so your outdoor space stays cool even in hot weather. We offer plenty of customization options and can assist you in choosing the best louvered roof for your pergola.

How does an Equinox roof work?

Equinox® Louvered Roofs contain louver blades that rotate within a fixed frame. Driven by a motor typically connected to a transformer, the louvers rotate in unison to allow the exact amount of light, shade and ventilation desired. When closed, the interlocking louver blades create a waterproof seal. The louvers are slightly pitched to direct water into an integrated gutter and downspout system that channels rainwater away from the covered area. Residential roofs are typically controlled by a wireless remote control that is programmed and can be linked to a smart device, so they require no additional wiring or power from the home. Depending on the roof size, commercial roofs are controlled by one or more toggle switches located near the patio area. The motor is powered by a transformer connected to an ordinary 110v outlet.

Where can an Equinox Louvered Roof be installed?

Equinox Louvered Roof systems can be used wherever sun, light and weather control is needed. Whether covering a patio, deck, spa, pool, outdoor kitchen, BBQ area, entryway or courtyard, Equinox roofs are designed and engineered to enhance outdoor lifestyles. The roofs may be built as a free-standing system or attached to an existing structure.

Do you have a warranty?

The louvers and all support components (beams, gutters and posts) are warranted for twenty (20) years from the date on installation against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service.

The power components (motor, solar panel, link bar, electronic controls) are warranted for three (3) years (parts replacement only) from the date of installation. Batteries are warranted for one (1) year from date of installation.
