So happy with our new awning. Mike from Aluminium Awnings sorted everything out for us, even the little extras we asked for at the last minute.
Adjustable aluminium louvre roofs & louvre pergolas. Manual or motorised, 95% weatherproof when closed, custom-built for the Western Cape coast.
Free site visit · Lifetime corrosion guarantee · 3–5 week lead time
A louvre roof is an outdoor roof with rotating aluminium blades that pivot to control sunlight, shade, airflow and weather. Open the blades for sky and breeze; close them for shade or rain cover. Fully closed, the system is roughly 95% weatherproof — turning a patio, pool area or braai space into a room you can use in every Cape Town season.
Every louvre roof we build is measured, engineered and fabricated in-house to your exact dimensions, then installed by our own crew. Choose your frame colour, blade configuration and control type — a simple manual wand, or full motorised remote and app control.
Both share the same marine-grade aluminium structure, baked-enamel gutter system and louvres. The difference is how you move the blades.
Wand-operated blades. Durable, simple, no electronics — the most cost-effective way into an adjustable roof.
Remote, wall-switch and smartphone control. The most popular configuration for Cape Town's changeable weather.

Every louvre roof is custom-engineered to your site, so figures above are indicative. Pricing is supplied-and-installed and depends on size, span, blade configuration, motorisation and site complexity — a fixed written quote follows a free site visit.
132mm aluminium blades rotate through 0–135°. Open them flat for full sky, angle them to filter the harsh afternoon sun, or close them completely for shade and rain cover — all without leaving your seat.
Manual systems rotate the blades with a simple wand — no electronics to maintain. Motorised systems run on a quiet motor controlled by remote, wall switch or smartphone app, so the whole roof opens and closes at a touch.
When closed, the blades drain into a baked-enamel gutter system built into the frame, which channels rainwater to integrated downpipes. That's what makes the closed roof roughly 95% weatherproof.
Powder-coated carriers, beams and poles are engineered for Cape Doctor wind loads. The structure is sized to your span and fixed to handle the south-easter — not just fair-weather cover.
From a simple wand to full smart-home automation — run your louvre roof your way.
No ferrous metal in the structure. Powder-coated carriers, beams and poles, a baked-enamel gutter system and louvres, and stainless fasteners throughout — specified for Atlantic salt air, intense UV and the south-easter.
It's the difference between a roof that looks good on handover day and one that still looks good a decade later. Built once, built right, backed by our guarantees.

So happy with our new awning. Mike from Aluminium Awnings sorted everything out for us, even the little extras we asked for at the last minute.
Really happy with the whole experience. The team at Aluminium Awnings were on time, tidy and did exactly what they said they would. Our patio is finally usable in summer.
Aluminium Awnings Cape Town het ons heeltemal beïndruk. Die kwaliteit is uitstekend en die prys was billik. Ons sal hulle beslis aanbeveel.
Beautiful job. Aluminium Awnings were neat and polite, and the install crew Vincent and Pfunzo finished exactly when they said they would. We love sitting outside now even when it drizzles.
Honestly the best money we've spent on the house. Aluminium Awnings were spot on, and where we are in Durbanville gets a lot of wind but it holds up perfectly.
From the first phone call to the final clean up Aluminium Awnings Cape Town were brilliant. So happy we found someone reliable in Bloubergstrand.
The louvre roof they installed has completely changed our outdoor area. We can open it when it's sunny and close it when the rain comes in. Thanks Aluminium Awnings.
Ek is baie tevrede met Aluminium Awnings. Die span was vriendelik en het alles netjies gelos. Ons stoep is nou ons gunsteling plek in die huis.
Quick, clean and fair priced. Aluminium Awnings did a great job on our louvre awning and I'd use them again without thinking twice.
Very impressed with Aluminium Awnings. Good communication throughout and the quality is exactly what we hoped for.
Got a few quotes and Aluminium Awnings were the most professional by far. Lance talked us through all the options without any pressure and the stoep looks amazing now.
We use our braai area so much more now thanks to Aluminium Awnings. Lekker quality and the guys were friendly.
Top class service from Aluminium Awnings Cape Town. They came out, measured everything properly and the install was quick. No complaints at all.
