Why we recommend (and stand by) the NZ Louvres roof system
When considering an outdoor louvred roof system, there are no shortage of options. However, when you’re investing in something as integral as an outdoor living space, you want to ensure it’s the best.
At Douglas we have been working with the ‘NZ Louvres’ product here in Hawke’s Bay for over 12 years and know this to be the best on the market. They are a brilliant way to improve your home and lifestyle.

Let’s dive into the unique features that make these louvres a standout option for your outdoor living space.
NZ Designed and Made for Local Conditions
One of the standout features of a NZ Louvres outdoor roof is that they are designed and manufactured in New Zealand. This isn’t just about supporting local businesses—it’s about crafting a product specifically engineered for New Zealand’s diverse weather conditions, from the salty coastal air to the harsh UV rays.
Proprietary Extrusion Design: No Off-the-Shelf Solutions
A key benefit of these louvres is that there are no set sizes, so each louvre is custom designed to fit your outdoor space.
NZ Louvres also use a proprietary extrusion shape design. This not only gives the blades a more robust structure but also ensures they fit perfectly with the overall frame.
Built with Superior Materials: Made to Last
Constructed from aluminium sourced from McKechnies in Taranaki, NZ Louvres feature a 3mm wall thickness, making them more robust than other offerings. Also known for their quality, reliability and sustainability, McKechnie® is the only New Zealand aluminium extruder to gain third-party certification as Toitu certified low-carbon aluminium.
Maximizing Light with Wide Blades
NZ Louvres boast some of the widest blades available. The blade width helps to maximise the light opening and provide better airflow control. The dual-surface system, features an air gap between the top and bottom, which reduces condensation and minimizes rain noise, avoiding the dreaded “tin roof effect.”
Unique Design Features: Clean and Crisp Aesthetic
One thing we really like at Douglas Innovation is the aesthetic design of this louvre system which results in a streamlined design philosophy.
Unlike many systems that require a less-than-ideal sloping frame to facilitate drainage, NZ Louvres roof systems integrate the gutter fall within the frame itself. This creates a clean, sleek look that aligns with your house’s fascia levels, giving the impression that the louvre system was always meant to be there.
Features like hidden motor mounts and concealed mounting brackets give the system a clean, uncluttered finish and the screen rollers and pelmets are designed to align perfectly, ensuring no gaps or wonky appearances. The dropper and downpipe are usually concealed within the corner posts, ensuring a smooth, polished appearance.
Professional Installation: Trained Installers, Not Contractors
At Douglas Innovation we directly employ a team of trained installers who understand the intricacies of the product. This ensures consistency, quality control, and a higher standard of craftsmanship, giving you peace of mind that your outdoor louvre roof will be installed to the highest standards.
A well-installed product is key to enhance the performance and enjoyment of the louvre roof at your home. Our team will provide a custom-design that delivers superior strength, durability, and a sleek, modern finish, ensuring your outdoor space is protected year-round.
