Shhhhhhhh! it’s a secret……..
No, it isn’t!! It’s no secret that at more than $1,000 a square metre, an all aluminium opening louvred roof doesn’t come cheap.
But nothing else comes close to offering the same benefits.
Unlike steel, aluminium has beautiful sleek lines, is non-corrosive and long lasting.
And the opening louvres control light, temperature and rain.
Big is Better!
So how does pricing work?......... You might be surprised at the answer.
Here it is in a nutshell.
Take a small 2 metre x 2 metre louvred roof.
It will cost price 'A'.
Now a larger 4 metre x 2 metre louvred roof is two times bigger.
But it isn't twice the price.
It will cost about price 'A' plus 10%
Using the two examples above both roofs have ■ four posts, ■ ten louvres, ■ one motor and electrical wiring, ■ 4 metres of louvre mounting system, ■ one down pipe and most likely require ■ council approval. So, no matter the size these costs are the same. Even the time it takes to build is the same.
The only difference is that the bigger 4m x 2m roof will have longer louvres, and an extra 4 metres of framing beam and gutter. (in other words, more aluminium) This is where the extra cost comes in.
Other factors will impact on the price of your unique project. Like which direction the louvres run, if the roof is attached to your house, & if so where and on how many sides. There is no magical square metre rate for a louvred roof.
The bottom line is that when you purchase an award winning 4Front Louvre roof you are buying direct from the manufacturer. No middle man ( or woman! )
