Tarasola Louvered Roofs: How the Blades Work
Louvered roofs replace a fixed panel with rotating aluminium blades. That single change gives you shade control, ventilation and, when closed, a weather-tight roof.
Blade rotation and shade
Angling the blades tracks the sun through the day — full shade at midday, open sky in the evening — without touching blinds or fabric.
Closing to shed rain
Closed blades overlap and channel water into the perimeter beams, which discharge through the posts. Nothing is visible externally.
Wind and snow behaviour
Blades are set to the manufacturer's recommended positions in extreme weather. Handover covers exactly what to do.
Controls
Remote, wall switch and app or sensor control are available depending on the configuration you choose.
Frequently asked questions
What happens in a power cut?
Blades stay where they are; systems generally allow a manual override where specified.
Do blades rattle?
Correctly adjusted blades sit tight when closed. Rattle usually indicates an adjustment issue worth reporting.
Can screens be added?
Yes — zip screens integrate into the posts on most configurations.
How do you clean the blades?
Open them flat and wash with warm soapy water; also clear the drainage channels of leaves.
