openAir Retractable Roof

Aesthetics meets function.

01 / openAir Retractable Roof

Solid construction, a flat shape and minimalist modern design. The openAir retractable roof combines aesthetics and function, weather resistance and ease of use — whether the sun is shining or heavy rain is falling. Its modular design makes the system especially attractive, including for hospitality applications: each module has its own roof with double-layer fabric and automatic control.

Drainage

09 / Patented System

Watertight & Ventilated

An advanced, patented drainage system is designed around the roof’s special construction. It noticeably reduces splashing droplets — and therefore their penetration beneath the roof. Water is channelled away in a controlled manner through the frame and posts.

10 / Privacy & Wind Protection

Vertical Awning or Shutters

Equip the openAir retractable roof with a vertical awning or shutters. Both protect against low sun and prying eyes, making the terrace usable even on windy evenings.
