Homeowners across Christchurch are upgrading their outdoor areas with smarter, stronger, and more versatile shade solutions — and the Step Up Louvre system is quickly becoming a favourite. Designed for New Zealand’s weather and built with premium aluminium engineering, this system delivers a clean, open outdoor space without the bulky centre posts found in many traditional pergolas.
Whether you’re creating a relaxing spa zone, extending your outdoor living area, or adding value to your home, the Step Up Louvre offers a modern, architectural finish with effortless control.
A Wide‑Span Louvre Roof Built for NZ Conditions
One of the standout features of the Step Up Louvre is its ability to span 6m × 3m in a single bay — without needing a centre post. This creates a wide, uninterrupted space that feels open, spacious, and premium.
For spa areas, this is a game‑changer. No posts blocking movement, no awkward framing, and no visual clutter. Just a clean, modern structure that enhances the space rather than dominating it.
Key structural advantages:
Premium wide‑span engineering
Strong aluminium frame designed for NZ wind zones
Integrated guttering for clean water management
Architectural 150×150 posts for a modern look
One‑Click Control for Sun, Shade, and Shelter
Christchurch weather can change quickly — which is why homeowners love the one‑click open and close control. With a single button, you can:
Open the louvres to enjoy the stars above the spa
Angle them for filtered shade during the day
Close them instantly when the weather turns
It’s outdoor living without compromise — comfort, flexibility, and protection all in one system.
Perfect for Spa Areas, Decks, and Outdoor Living Zones
The Step Up Louvre is designed to enhance the way Kiwis use their outdoor spaces. It’s ideal for:
Spa and hot tub areas
Decks and patios
Outdoor dining spaces
Poolside shade
Entertainment zones
By adding a louvre roof, homeowners gain a year‑round outdoor room — a sheltered, usable space that adds both lifestyle value and property value.
