Description
The Cerberus Louvre Kitset range by Apollo NZ continues to push boundaries in the outdoor living industry. Known for their sleek design, easy installation, and affordability, these pergola systems have quickly become a favourite among homeowners, builders, and developers looking for a reliable, stylish, and functional louvre roof solution. And now, with the latest additions to the Cerberus range, the bar has been raised even higher.
We’re excited to announce two optional upgrade features now available across the Cerberus Louvre Kitset systems: app-controlled roof and blinds via Tuya-based A-OK motors, and a material upgrade to 316 stainless steel connection points. These enhancements are not standard but are available as additional upgrade options, allowing you to customise your Cerberus system for greater control, durability, and convenience.
App-Controlled Roof and Blinds – Smarter Living, Anywhere You Are (Optional Upgrade)
The future of outdoor living is smart—and the Cerberus Kitset range is now part of that evolution. As an additional upgrade, users can now opt for app control features that enable the operation of both the louvre roof and blinds directly from a smartphone, tablet, or smart home system using a Tuya-based app via A-OK motors.
Key Benefits:
Remote Access: Open or close your louvre roof or blinds no matter where you are. Whether you're at work, on holiday, or out for the day, you can manage your outdoor area’s exposure to sun, rain, or wind at the touch of a button.
Smart Scheduling: Program your roof and blinds to open or close at set times throughout the day. Ideal for morning sun, afternoon shade, or automatic weather responses.
Compatibility: Integrates with popular smart home systems like Google Home and Alexa. Hands-free control adds convenience to your daily routine.
Energy Efficiency: By managing sunlight exposure remotely, you can reduce heating and cooling costs. For example, close the louvres during peak sun hours to keep adjacent rooms cooler.
Peace of Mind: Forgot to close the roof before heading out? Not a problem. Open the app and close your roof from anywhere, protecting your furniture and flooring from unexpected rain.
This optional upgrade brings a whole new level of comfort and convenience to your outdoor space, transforming your Cerberus pergola into a truly smart outdoor living solution.
Optional 316 Stainless Steel Connection Points – Enhanced Durability for Coastal or Harsh Environments (Optional Upgrade)
While all Cerberus Kitsets already come with 304 stainless steel connection points for rust resistance and structural integrity, we now offer an optional upgrade to 316 stainless steel components. This premium-grade material offers a superior level of protection and longevity in challenging conditions.
Ideal For:
Coastal Regions: 316 stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance in salty or humid air, making it ideal for beachside properties or marine environments.
Harsh Conditions: Whether it's extreme heat, moisture, or pollution, 316-grade stainless steel stands up to the most challenging elements.
Long-Term Durability: The upgrade provides added peace of mind and minimises maintenance over time—especially in high-exposure installations.
This optional upgrade ensures your investment remains visually stunning and structurally sound for years to come.
Flexible and Future-Ready Solutions
The Cerberus Kitset range continues to evolve, and these new upgrade options are designed to keep up with the demands of modern living. Whether you're installing in a city backyard, a rural retreat, or a coastal property, the app control and stainless steel enhancements provide flexibility that fits any lifestyle or environment.
These additional options aren’t just bells and whistles—they’re practical improvements that boost functionality, convenience, and resilience. Imagine relaxing indoors while adjusting your pergola’s louvre angle to suit the changing weather—or protecting your furniture from unexpected showers while you’re away, all from your smartphone.
Even better, both upgrades can be added to new or existing Cerberus Kitset installations, making them perfect for fresh builds or smart retrofits.
What Sets the Cerberus System Apart?
Even without upgrades, the Cerberus Kitset is a strong performer. With its powder-coated aluminum frame, high wind ratings, easy installation, and sleek, modern design, it has already become one of the most sought-after outdoor roofing systems in New Zealand.
These new optional add-ons—app-controlled automation and upgraded marine-grade stainless components—position the Cerberus series well ahead of the curve for 2025.
