Aluminium patio roofs for Hermanus, Vermont and the wider Whale Coast, specified for sea air, onshore wind and Overberg winter rain.
Free site visit · Lifetime corrosion guarantee · 3–5 week lead time
Much of the Whale Coast faces straight onto the sea, from Pringle Bay and Kleinmond through Onrus, Vermont and Hermanus to Gansbaai, with Stanford a short way inland. Salt air, onshore wind and winter rain all come with the sea view.
In Hermanus we built a bronze-framed louvre roof with white blades, chosen to match the terracotta render. In Vermont there are two louvre roofs, one of them a full-white system with the gutter built into the frame. Every frame was made in our Cape Town workshop and fitted on site by our own team.
We cover the Kogelberg coast and the towns around Walker Bay, including:

Three pergola families, lined patio ceilings, fixed awnings and carports, all built for Western Cape conditions.
Hermanus takes its weather off Walker Bay: salt air that works on coatings all year, winter rain, and a summer south-easter that works on anything left outside. On our louvre roofs that sets the spec: marine-grade aluminium with no ferrous metal, stainless fasteners, a powder-coated frame and baked-enamel louvres and gutters.
If the house stands empty between weekends, a motorised louvre roof with the optional rain and wind sensors closes the blades with nobody there, and its motors sit in sealed IP65 housings. We still advise closing it before a forecast south-easter. Colour is the other decision: bronze picked up the terracotta render in Hermanus, and full white let the Vermont system fade into the house.

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.
Ryan and his team were awesome and really went the extra mile to make our awning perfect! Can definitely recommend them!
Very happy with the replacement of our awning after it got damaged in the May storm. More sturdy and stronger
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.

Aluminium Awnings is so professional from start to finish. They make the process easy and understandable from day 1. The quality of their work is outstanding, we are so happy! I highly 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!
