Key Structural Benefits:

• ✔️ Integrated Beam & Gutter System

  • Engineered to span up to 8.4m with full drainage integration, allowing faster installs and cleaner visuals.

• ✔️ Heavy-Duty Spans for Uninterrupted Views:

  • Aluminium beams: Up to 8.4 metres without centre posts

  • Steel beams: Up to 12 metres in a single run

🧾 Pre-Approved for Larger Projects — PS1 Included

For outdoor roof systems over 30m², most local councils in New Zealand require additional documentation to ensure structural integrity and compliance with the NZ Building Code.

To simplify the consent process and reduce delays, the Orion Prime system comes with a Producer Statement PS1 already in place for standard installations. This engineering-backed document provides:

• 🧱 Peace of mind for designers, architects, and building inspectors

• 📄 Pre-approved compliance with NZ structural code requirements

• 🏗️ A smoother and faster pathway for consents on large-scale residential or commercial projects

Whether you're working on a residential backyard extension or a large commercial louvre build, Orion Prime is ready to go — with the paperwork to match.

🟡 Brass H59: The Golden Standard for Operational Efficiency

Behind every beautiful louvre roof system lies its mechanical core — the components that make it move smoothly, adjust precisely, and last reliably.

Apollo NZ uses Brass H59 for all major internal mechanisms such as:

• ✔️ Drive sleeves

• ✔️ Pivot rings

• ✔️ Motor interface components

Why Brass H59?

• 🔩 Superior Hardness: Maintains integrity under pressure and high-use scenarios

• 🛠 Self-Lubricating Properties: Reduces friction and wear

• 🧪 Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for coastal or high-moisture environments

• 🔧 Long-Term Durability: Far outlasts plastic alternatives and prevents degradation over time

While more costly than traditional materials, Brass H59 offers a premium, maintenance-free experience that reflects the long-term value of the Orion Prime System.

🎨 Custom Colours & Architectural Matching

Orion Prime is designed to blend seamlessly or stand out boldly — your choice.

• ✔️ Standard 17 RAL colours

• ✔️ Access to 200+ RAL Custom Colours

• ✔️ Match your joinery, cladding, or corporate branding

• ✔️ PVDF options for coastal and commercial-grade durability

No matter your project palette, Orion Prime is built to fit.
