Atlantic Seaboard

Terrace cover that leaves the Atlantic in view.

On this side of Table Mountain the patio faces the sea. West-facing terraces take the full afternoon sun, and the wind comes from two directions: the south-easter off the mountain in summer and the north-westers off the Atlantic in winter. A cover here has to keep the horizon open and stand up to salt spray straight off the water.

Every project we have documented on the Seaboard is a louvre roof. In Bakoven a motorised roof in Umber Grey spans a clifftop patio with no intermediate columns. In Camps Bay a cantilevered roof keeps posts off the view line, and in Sea Point a charcoal frame with white blades covers a patio off the house.

What we do

Six ways to cover the outdoors

Three pergola families, lined patio ceilings, fixed awnings and carports, all built for Western Cape conditions.

White-framed cantilevered louvre roof with dove-grey blades in Camps Bay.
Front-line coast

Specified for front-row Atlantic salt.

Salt comes first on this strip. The homes closest to the water take spray straight off the surf, and ordinary steel fittings do not last in it. Every Seaboard roof we have documented is marine-grade aluminium with no steel in the frame, held together with coastal-grade or stainless fixings. On the Bakoven roof the powder coat is rated for front-line coastal exposure, and even the fixings into the existing wall are stainless.

The south-easter is the wind to build for. In summer it funnels down off the mountains above Camps Bay and can reach Bakoven with almost no warning. A cantilever puts all the load on the fixing side, so the frame and anchors are sized for it, as on the Camps Bay roof, where no post stands between the terrace and the Atlantic.

Local answers

Questions about building on the Atlantic Seaboard

Can a louvre roof cover my terrace without posts in the sea view?
It depends on the wall and the span. In Camps Bay we built a cantilevered louvre roof that reaches out over the terrace from the wall side, so no posts stand on the view line. In Bakoven the blade system spans the full patio width with no intermediate columns. We check your wall, span and fixing points at the free site visit before recommending either.
How does salt air affect a louvre roof in Camps Bay or Clifton?
Aluminium does not rust, and none of the Seaboard roofs we have documented has ferrous metal in its structure. Salt goes after fasteners and finishes instead, which is why the Camps Bay roof has baked finishes and stainless steel fasteners throughout. Beyond that, upkeep is a rinse with clean water now and then and keeping the gutters clear. The Bakoven roof has come through several seasons of Seaboard weather that way without incident.
What if the south-easter comes up while my louvre roof is open?
On a motorised louvre roof you close it from the remote. The Bakoven roof goes from fully open to flush-closed in under 30 seconds, which matters on a clifftop where the wind arrives with little warning. Motorised roofs can also take an optional wind sensor that closes the blades by itself above a set wind speed. A manual roof closes with a hand-operated wand.
Will a louvre roof keep winter rain off a Sea Point patio?
With the blades closed, mostly: a closed louvre roof is about 95% weatherproof. On the Sea Point roof the manual blades angle and close to shed rain off the patio, and on the Bakoven roof the gutter is built into the structural beam and routes the water to a concealed downpipe. Open sides still let rain blow in on a hard north-wester, and drop awnings on those sides cut the wind and rain-splash.
Where can I see colours and finishes before deciding?
Finish samples come with your fixed written quote, sent within 48 hours of the free site visit. Seaboard clients chose a charcoal frame with white blades in Sea Point, a white frame with dove-grey blades in Camps Bay, and Umber Grey in Bakoven. If your home is in a sectional-title scheme, check with the body corporate before you decide. We supply the drawings it needs with the quote. Our Montague Gardens showroom is open by appointment.

What a fantastic experience. The new louvre awning has made such a difference to our outdoor space and has honestly exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail during the installation was excellent, and the whole team was friendly, respectful, and easy to deal with. It looks like it was always meant to be part of the house. Thank you for a job well done!

We were looking for a modern, low-maintenance patio cover that suited our home in Stellenbosch, and this was exactly what we wanted. The finish is beautiful, the installation was neat, and communication throughout the project was excellent. It’s given us a space we can enjoy all year round. We would definitely use Aluminium Awnings again.

Aluminium Awnings Cape Town enclosed our Constantia patio with a manual louvre roof, full white, with aluminium doors and windows all round, and it's honestly become our favourite part of the house. We use it right through winter now. The rain and the wind don't get in, and it's so easy to wind the louvres open when the sun comes out. Neat, tidy install with a friendly team, and the white finish looks really clean against the house. Couldn't be happier, highly recommend.

We recently had a louvre awning installed by Aluminium Awnings at our home in Durbanville, and we’re so pleased with the result. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, and the finished product has completely transformed our outdoor space. The team was professional, arrived on time, and kept us informed throughout the installation. We looked at a few different companies before deciding, and we’re really glad we chose Aluminium Awnings. If you’re considering louvre awnings in Cape Town, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Absolutely thrilled with our new louvre awning from Aluminium Awnings. From start to finish, the service was professional, the installation was neat, and the finished product looks incredible. We’re based in Blouberg, so we wanted something that would work well with the coastal conditions and strong winds, while still giving us control over the sunlight and shade. The louvre awning has completely transformed the outside area and the quality of the aluminium structure and finish is excellent. Would definitely recommend Aluminium Awnings to anyone in Blouberg or Cape Town looking for a quality louvre awning. Very happy with the end result!
