Different shapes: We have the ability to make irregular shape projects, such as slope roofs, angled roofs, etc.
Integrated Beam and Gutter
The Orion Roof System boasts an impressive maximum length of 7.8 meters for its integrated beam and gutter. This unique design, which integrates the gutter into the beam, not only enhances the overall strength of the structure but also speeds up the installation process. This means you can enjoy your new pergola sooner, without compromising on quality or durability.
Superior Materials for Maximum Longevity
High-end material used: the maximum span of the aluminum beam can be up to 8.4m width with no center post or 12m with steel integrated beams. All the fastenings (Including screws, bolts, and connect brackets) are stainless steel 316 to avoid any rust and corrosion in the future. And we use brass H59 as the drive brass sleeve and a brass ring for pivot louver blades in the pergola system, and we don’t use any plastic drive parts. Although the cost of brass H59 is high it is a very important element for long-lasting usage vs plastic ones.
We hide all screws and bolts inside the post or beam. There are no screws and bolts on the appearance of the pergola. From the bottom view of your roof, the gap between the louvre blades is tiny, ensuring the louver roof has better waterproof performance, and the whole bottom of louvre blades closes well.
The motor is designed to hide inside the aluminum beam rather than on the roof to avoid directly touching water and rain.
Customise Colour: we have 17 standard RAL colours but access to 200 other RAL colours if different colours are needed.
Split roof products (Polycarbonate): We can split the roof up into a lourve system and polycarbonate panels if required. 6mm, 12mm, and 20mm polycarbonate sheets options can be integrated into the roof system for drainage.

Comprehensive CAD Drawings
Insuring Precision and Satisfaction: The Orion System’s Comprehensive CAD Drawings
With the Orion System, every project reaches a peak of meticulous planning before execution begins. This is made possible through the use of comprehensive CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawings, which are vital for final sign-offs by architects, builders, and all parties involved. These detailed drawings serve as the ultimate blueprint, showcasing every element of the project in precise detail.
The CAD drawings created for the Orion System are not just technical documents; they are a bridge between concept and reality. These drawings allow all stakeholders to visualize the complete setup, from the spacing of beams to the intricacies of the drainage system, before a single piece is manufactured. This preemptive view ensures that every aspect of the design meets the exact specifications and expectations of both the clients and the technical teams.
Why are these CAD drawings so crucial? Firstly, they provide a detailed overview of the project, including dimensions, product specifications, and integration points. This level of detail helps in identifying any potential issues that could arise during the installation process, allowing for adjustments before materials are ordered or construction begins.
Secondly, the Orion System’s CAD drawings facilitate clear and effective communication among all parties involved. By having a detailed visual reference, architects, builders, and installers can discuss and align their strategies, ensuring that the implementation is as smooth as possible. It also allows the client to see and understand the structure they are investing in, enhancing their confidence in the project.
Furthermore, these drawings are essential for customization. The Orion System prides itself on its ability to be tailored to fit any architectural style or personal preference. Whether it’s adjusting the size of the louvres, changing the color, or adding accessories like LED lights and heaters, every detail can be modified and previewed in the CAD drawings.
The final sign-off process is also streamlined thanks to these detailed plans. With everything laid out clearly, approvals can be obtained more quickly, reducing delays and ensuring that the project timeline is adhered to. This not only helps in maintaining project schedules but also aids in budget management by minimizing last-minute changes that could impact the cost.
Designing Water Management to Fit Your Needs
The Orion System: Designing Water Management to Fit Your Needs
When it comes to designing your ideal outdoor space, functionality is just as important as aesthetics. The Orion System, one of Apollo NZ's most versatile louvre roof systems, offers not only remarkable shading and outdoor comfort solutions but also a sophisticated integrated gutter system. This feature ensures that water is managed effectively, offering options for drainage that can suit a wide range of installation needs and user preferences. Whether you need efficient water disposal or aim to harvest rainwater for sustainable purposes, the Orion System can be tailored to your specific requirements.
Integrated Gutter System for Complete Water Management
One of the essential features of the Orion System is its well-thought-out water management solution. The integrated gutter system allows water to flow seamlessly from the roof blades, directing it toward the posts and eventually to a designated exit point. This ensures that no water is left pooling on your roof or around your outdoor area, keeping your space dry and well-maintained, even during heavy rain.
The key feature of the gutter system lies in its versatility—there are various ways you can customize how the water exits, depending on your setup. Whether you're installing the Orion System for an outdoor entertainment area, over a deck, or simply as a standalone roof, you have multiple drainage options to choose from.
Option 1: Front Exit Holes
For many installations, the simplest and most direct solution is to allow water to exit from the front of the posts through dedicated exit holes. This method is particularly effective if you don't have a specific need to route the water elsewhere and just want an easy and efficient way to get the water out. It works well when the area below is already prepared for water runoff, such as paved patios or gravel areas where drainage isn't a concern.
This visible exit option is practical and allows water to drain out efficiently while maintaining a clean, streamlined look for the structure.
Option 2: Bottom Exit for Deck Installations
If you are installing the Orion System over a deck with a gutter system underneath, you can choose an alternative option: directing the water to exit through the bottom of the posts. By doing this, you avoid having an exit hole on the front of each post, giving a cleaner visual finish. The bottom exit allows water to discreetly pass from the posts into the guttering system below the deck, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your deck space.
This option is ideal for customers who want a polished, minimalistic look without any visible water exits. By allowing water to flow from the posts into a hidden drainage system, you can enjoy both functionality and visual harmony.
Option 3: Roof-Only Installations with Drainage Pipes
For those who are opting for a roof-only Orion System, there are also great options for water management. You can connect drainage pipes directly to the gutter system, allowing the water to flow into an existing pipe or gutter system nearby. This approach can help you integrate the Orion System seamlessly into your existing water management infrastructure, making it a perfect choice for projects that extend or complement existing buildings.
Adding a drainage pipe ensures that water is efficiently removed from the roof without splashing or overflowing, particularly in scenarios where rain intensity might otherwise overwhelm more simple drainage options.
Option 4: Water Storage for Sustainability
For environmentally conscious homeowners, another fantastic option with the Orion System is to integrate a water storage unit. You can connect a tank or storage unit to the posts, allowing rainwater to be collected and stored for later use. This feature makes the Orion System an eco-friendly addition to your outdoor setup, allowing you to conserve water for garden irrigation, car washing, or other purposes.
Collecting rainwater can significantly contribute to water conservation efforts, especially in areas prone to droughts or with water restrictions. It turns an otherwise wasted resource into a useful and sustainable solution for your home.
Customizing the Orion System for You
At Apollo NZ, we understand that every space is unique, and so are your needs. That’s why the Orion System is designed to be flexible—not just in its structure but also in how it manages elements like water. With its integrated guttering system, you can select from the different drainage options based on your landscape, aesthetic preferences, and environmental goals.
If you have specific ideas about how you want to manage water, we are here to collaborate with you. Whether you’re aiming for a polished design with hidden drainage or a sustainable solution with water storage, the Orion System can accommodate those needs. Adding drainage pipes, integrating existing gutters, or attaching a water tank—all these options can be adapted and built into the overall design.
Why Proper Water Management Matters
Efficient water management is more than just a design feature—it’s a necessity, especially in areas that receive significant rainfall. Improper drainage can lead to water pooling, which can cause damage over time to the structural integrity of your outdoor areas. With the Orion System, you can be confident that every drop of rainwater will be taken care of, from the moment it lands on the blades to when it reaches its designated exit.
Having a proper gutter system not only prevents water damage to the louvre roof itself but also protects the surrounding environment from water-related issues such as erosion or soggy patches. Plus, the options to add custom drainage or even collect rainwater put control back in your hands, allowing you to get the most out of every rainfall.
Make Your Orion System Your Own
At Apollo NZ, we pride ourselves on providing customizable, high-quality outdoor products that fit perfectly with the unique needs of our clients. Whether you’re interested in sustainability, aesthetics, or efficiency, we have the solution for you. The Orion System's water management options are just one more way we ensure your outdoor space is beautiful, functional, and built to last.
Orion Roof System Plus
Orion Roof System Plus: The Future of Mixed Roofing Unveiled
The fusion of architectural innovation and advanced technology reaches new heights with the launch of the Orion Roof System Plus. Imagine the freedom to switch between a fully retractable roof bay and traditional open-close bays—all within the same system. This isn't a dream; it's the future of roofing. Welcome to a new era where you no longer have to choose between two distinct styles—you can have both.
Why Flexibility Matters in Modern Design
In today’s rapidly evolving world of architecture and design, flexibility has become more than just a trend—it’s a vital need. Traditional roofing systems with open and closed bays have long been valued for their protective qualities, insulation, and ability to blend seamlessly with various architectural styles. However, what if you could completely open up your space to the sky whenever you wanted? This is where the concept of retractable roof bays comes into play.
The Luxury of Retractable Roof Bays
Retractable roof bays represent the pinnacle of luxury and adaptability. They allow you to transform your space from a sheltered, cozy room to an open, airy environment in just moments. Picture yourself lying in your living room, watching clouds drift by, or stargazing from the comfort of your bed—this kind of immersive experience is now within reach, without any barriers.
While retractable roofs have been a feature in large stadiums around the world, shielding audiences from unpredictable weather, the Orion Roof System Plus brings this technology into residential and commercial settings. It’s a revolutionary concept that redefines how we think about roofing.
The Timeless Appeal of Conventional Bays
As appealing as retractable bays are, conventional open-close bays remain a popular choice for several good reasons:
Reliable Insulation: With no moving parts, these bays provide consistent insulation, making them energy-efficient throughout the year.
Enhanced Durability: With fewer components to maintain, conventional bays tend to have a longer lifespan, minimizing wear and tear over time.
Cost-Effective: Traditional bays are typically more affordable when it comes to both installation and upkeep.
Why Choose When You Can Have Both?
The Orion Roof System Plus brilliantly combines the best features of both retractable and conventional bays, offering unparalleled versatility. Here’s how this dual system shines in different scenarios:
Commercial Versatility: Imagine a restaurant that effortlessly transitions from a cozy indoor café on rainy days to an open-roofed dining experience when the weather is perfect.
Residential Perfection: For homeowners, this system offers the ultimate solution—immersive nature experiences without compromising on insulation, energy efficiency, or security.
Event Spaces: Planning an event but worried about the weather? With the Orion Roof System Plus, you can start with a closed setup and seamlessly retract the roof if the skies clear up.
Redefining the Future of Roofing
The Orion Roof System Plus represents the future of roofing, blending luxury, flexibility, and practicality in a single, groundbreaking system. As customization becomes increasingly important, having a roof that adapts to your individual needs and desires will become essential, not just a luxury.
As more people discover the advantages of this hybrid system, its adoption is set to grow. The Orion Roof System Plus isn’t just about providing shelter—it’s about enhancing your connection to the world around you. With this innovative system, you truly can have the best of both worlds.

At Apollo NZ, we're thrilled to announce the official release of our latest innovation for the Orion System – the new 232 x 50 x 2.3mm louvre blade, specifically designed for high wind zones. This upgrade reflects our commitment to providing cutting-edge outdoor solutions that combine both functionality and modern aesthetics. Whether you’re looking to enhance your outdoor space at home or for a commercial setting, this new louvre blade delivers superior performance and design flexibility.
Built for High-Wind Areas
Our new louvre blade size, at 232 x 50 x 2.3mm, offers increased strength and durability, making it the ideal choice for areas prone to strong winds. This larger blade, when compared to the standard 200 x 35 x 2.2mm blade, provides superior wind resistance and stability, ensuring that your outdoor structure remains protected in even the harshest conditions.
Engineered with Aluminum Alloy 6005 T5 double-skin construction, the new blade’s increased size and thickness provide added security and peace of mind for outdoor spaces in high wind zones. This blade is not only designed to endure, but its sleek and modern appearance also ensures your outdoor area looks as good as it functions.
Why Choose the New 232 x 50 x 2.3mm Blade?
Superior Wind Resistance
For those living or building in high wind zones, safety is a priority. The 232mm blade’s enhanced thickness and size provide greater strength, ensuring your outdoor structure can withstand high winds without compromising stability or safety. This larger louvre blade has been designed to offer the extra support needed in challenging weather conditions, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial spaces.
Extended Span for a Sleeker Look
The new louvre blade’s larger size allows for a longer span, meaning fewer support structures are required. This results in a cleaner, more streamlined look for your pergola or outdoor structure. With fewer beams needed, the overall aesthetic is more open and modern, giving your outdoor space an elegant, minimalist appearance while still maintaining its strength.
Modern Aesthetic Appeal
This new blade not only excels in performance but also enhances the visual appeal of your outdoor area. The 232 x 50mm blade offers a bold, contemporary look that adds sophistication to any space. Whether you’re working on a backyard retreat or a commercial installation, this blade size brings a sense of modern elegance and durability, making it a standout feature of any outdoor design.
Long-Lasting Durability
Crafted from high-quality aluminum alloy, the 2.3mm thickness of the new blade ensures long-lasting performance, even in harsh outdoor conditions. Designed to resist wind, rain, and UV exposure, this blade is built to last. By investing in the 232mm blade, you’re investing in a solution that will stand the test of time and maintain its sleek appearance for years to come.
Ideal for Multiple Applications
Whether you're creating an outdoor living area for your home, an expansive commercial space, or an alfresco dining area, the new 232 x 50 x 2.3mm blade size is the perfect solution for any high wind zone. Its increased span not only enhances the visual appeal of your project but also reduces the need for additional supports, providing a more open and inviting space.
Apollo NZ's Commitment to Innovation
At Apollo NZ, we continue to push the boundaries of outdoor design. The introduction of the 232 x 50 x 2.3mm louvre blade for the Orion System is just one of the many ways we are striving to meet the evolving needs of our customers. With a focus on quality, innovation, and style, we’re proud to offer products that not only perform but also elevate the look and feel of any outdoor environment.
Enhanced Beam and Post Options for Superior Strength and Durability
At Apollo NZ, we are committed to continually improving our offerings to ensure that our clients have the best possible options for their outdoor spaces. The Orion System, one of our flagship louvre roof systems, is already known for its adaptability and structural resilience, and we're excited to announce new upgrades to enhance these qualities even further. We've added a new beam and post option to the Orion System—perfect for those who need the extra support and thickness, especially in challenging environments.
Why Upgrade to the New Beam and Post Options?
The Orion System has always been a reliable choice for a wide range of outdoor applications, from providing shade and shelter in residential settings to enhancing the functionality of commercial spaces. The new additions—beam options of 200 x 77 x 6.4mm and post options of 155 x 155 x 6.4mm—take this reliability to the next level, delivering enhanced strength for areas that require greater structural integrity.
The key factor in these upgrades is the thickness of the aluminum, which stands at an impressive 6.4mm. This upgrade ensures that the Orion System can withstand harsher environmental conditions, making it suitable for coastal areas, windy locations, and regions that experience extreme weather conditions. The increased material thickness provides not only improved strength but also greater peace of mind for our customers, knowing that their outdoor structure will stand the test of time.
Enhanced Structural Integrity for Challenging Environments
Outdoor structures often face a variety of environmental challenges, and the Orion System is no exception. Whether you’re building a pergola for a coastal property or adding a louvre roof system to a high-wind area, stability is key. The upgraded beam and post options provide significant advantages:
Wind Resistance: The thicker 6.4mm aluminum is perfect for locations prone to high winds, as it provides the system with more rigidity and resistance against lateral forces. This means that even in adverse weather, your pergola or outdoor structure will remain stable and secure.
Load-Bearing Capacity: The increased thickness of the beam and post options also means greater load-bearing capacity. This is particularly beneficial for installations that may need to bear additional weight, such as when integrating add-ons like frameless sliding glass doors, heaters, or lighting. It allows for the seamless incorporation of these features without compromising structural safety.
Longevity and Durability: The upgraded aluminum beam and post thicknesses enhance the overall longevity of the Orion System. Aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant, but the extra thickness provides added protection against wear and tear, making it a durable choice even in the harshest environments. This is especially advantageous for areas with high humidity, salty air, or significant temperature variations.
Aesthetic Appeal Without Compromising Functionality
The enhanced beam and post options maintain the sleek, modern aesthetics that the Orion System is known for, while offering superior performance. The clean lines and minimalist design of the new options ensure that they blend seamlessly with a variety of architectural styles, enhancing the overall look of your outdoor space.
Furthermore, the Orion System’s customization options remain a standout feature, and these new structural upgrades complement the customization potential perfectly. Clients can choose the new beam and post dimensions based on their specific needs—whether it's for added stability in a wind-prone area or to support additional features like LED lighting, glass doors, or motorized blinds.
Built for Customization and Flexibility
One of the best things about the Orion System is its versatility. This new upgrade offers even more options for clients who are looking to create unique, customized outdoor spaces. By adding these thicker beam and post options, we're giving our customers the flexibility to adapt their structures to meet specific demands without having to compromise on aesthetics or functionality.
Whether you are a homeowner looking to create an outdoor entertainment area, an architect seeking a reliable pergola system for a commercial project, or a builder needing a louvre roof system that can handle demanding environmental conditions, the upgraded Orion System provides a solution.
Why Choose the Orion System?
Customization: With numerous beam and post options now available, the Orion System offers more flexibility than ever before. Customers can choose dimensions and styles that best suit their needs.
Durability: The 6.4mm thickness provides significant advantages in terms of structural integrity, ensuring that your outdoor space will last for years to come.
Aesthetic Appeal: Even with the thicker beam and post options, the Orion System retains its sleek, modern look, making it a perfect addition to any setting.
Adaptability: Whether you need a frame-only solution, a complete louvre roof, or something more specialized, the Orion System can be configured to meet your requirements.

With its upgraded beam and post options, the Orion System is ready to transform your outdoor spaces into places that are not only beautiful but also built to last, no matter the conditions.
Achieve a Post-Free Design with the Orion System: Exploring Innovative Solutions for Wider Spans
Achieve a Post-Free Design with the Orion System: Exploring Innovative Solutions for Wider Spans
When it comes to creating outdoor spaces, one of the most common challenges is achieving a wide, open area without the need for obstructive center posts. Whether you're designing a luxurious patio cover, an inviting pergola, or a functional carport, maintaining a clean, uninterrupted space is essential for both aesthetics and usability. The Orion System offers innovative solutions to this problem, making it possible to have larger spans without compromising on structural integrity.
The Challenge of Large Spans
A common question we encounter is, “How can I achieve a wider span without a center post?” Many homeowners and businesses desire an open, airy feel for their outdoor spaces, where center posts might detract from the overall look or limit functional space. Whether you’re creating a pergola for entertaining, a carport to house multiple vehicles, or an outdoor living space that flows seamlessly, the absence of a center post can significantly enhance the overall usability and design.
The Orion System is designed to address this need, offering multiple ways to achieve large spans without a center support. Each project is unique, and we work closely with you to ensure the best possible solution for your space, while maintaining strength and durability.
Solutions with the Orion System
There are several strategies we can employ with the Orion System to ensure you achieve a wide span without the need for a center post:
1. Double Beams
One of the most straightforward methods for increasing the width of your structure is the use of double beams. By doubling up on the support beams, we can distribute the load more effectively, making it possible to maintain a strong, stable structure without the need for a center post. This method is ideal for medium-sized spans where aesthetics and strength need to be balanced.
2. Upgrading to Galvanized Steel Posts
Another option is to upgrade the posts from aluminum to galvanized steel. While aluminum posts are an excellent choice for most applications due to their lightweight and rust-resistant properties, galvanized steel provides significantly more strength. This allows for wider spans without compromising on stability or safety. Galvanized steel posts are also highly durable, making them a great option for more demanding environments or commercial projects.
3. Increased Beam Size for Strength
Sometimes, a simple solution lies in increasing the size of the beam. By opting for larger beams, the structure can support more weight across a longer span. The Orion System offers a variety of beam sizes, so you can choose the perfect option to suit your project’s requirements. For particularly wide spans, increasing the beam size is a cost-effective and visually appealing solution.
4. Upgrading Beams to Steel
For the largest spans, upgrading the beams to steel may be the best solution. Steel beams offer unparalleled strength and can handle much larger loads than aluminum, making them the ideal choice for commercial spaces or large residential projects. By using steel beams in combination with other structural upgrades, the Orion System can achieve spans that would otherwise require a center post.
Larger Blinds for Wider Spans
Another key consideration when designing your outdoor space is how to integrate blinds for shade and privacy. The Orion System is compatible with various blind options, but if you're aiming for a wider span without a center post, it's important to choose the right size. While the maximum size for Orion System blinds is 6 meters, we have other blinds available that can accommodate spans up to 8.4 meters without the need for a center post.
With careful planning and design, these larger blinds can be seamlessly incorporated into your project, ensuring you have the ideal solution for your outdoor area. This flexibility allows for a truly open and unobstructed space, perfect for enjoying the outdoors without compromise.
Custom Solutions for Every Project
At Apollo NZ, we understand that every project is different. That's why we offer a variety of custom options within the Orion System to ensure your outdoor space is both functional and beautiful. Whether you're working on a residential or commercial project, we will work closely with you to design a solution that meets your needs. From beam size and material upgrades to larger blinds and color finishes, the Orion System is highly adaptable, offering endless possibilities for your outdoor space.
Frameless Sliding Glass
The Ultimate Addition: Frameless Sliding Glass for the Orion System
The Orion System: Frameless Sliding Glass is a game-changer for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor living space. These sleek and modern glass panels are designed to enclose the sides of the Orion System, providing an elegant and functional solution to extend the usability of your outdoor areas. Whether you're looking to create a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces or want to protect your patio from the elements, frameless sliding glass is the perfect addition.
Benefits of Frameless Sliding Glass
Uninterrupted Views: The frameless design ensures that you have unobstructed views of your garden or landscape, maintaining the beauty of your outdoor surroundings.
Weather Protection: Enclosing your outdoor space with glass panels helps shield against wind, rain, and other elements, allowing you to enjoy your patio year-round.
Versatility: These glass panels can be opened or closed as needed, providing flexibility for ventilation and access.
Aesthetic Appeal: The modern, minimalist look of frameless glass adds a touch of sophistication and luxury to any outdoor setting.
Enhancing Privacy with Outdoor Mesh Blinds
For those moments when privacy is desired, outdoor mesh blinds can be seamlessly integrated with the frameless sliding glass. These blinds are not only stylish but also functional, offering:
Privacy Control: Easily adjust the blinds to create a private retreat, shielding your space from prying eyes without compromising on style.
Sun Protection: Mesh blinds help block out harsh sunlight, reducing glare and keeping your outdoor area cool and comfortable.
Customization Options: Available in various colors and openness factors, outdoor mesh blinds can be tailored to match your specific needs and aesthetic preferences.
Fixed Glass Option
The Orion Fixed Glass Option: Enhancing Your Outdoor Space with Clear Views
When it comes to creating an outdoor space that seamlessly blends with the beauty of your surroundings, finding the right balance between openness and protection is key. The Orion Fixed Glass Option offers an elegant solution for those who want to enjoy unobstructed views without compromising on safety or style. If sliding doors or shutters aren't your preferred choice, the fixed glass sides are an excellent alternative, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.
The Benefits of Fixed Glass Sides
Unobstructed Views: Fixed glass sides offer a panoramic view of your outdoor space, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings without any interruptions. Whether you're overlooking a garden, pool, or scenic landscape, the clear glass panels provide a seamless connection between your indoor and outdoor areas.
Enhanced Safety: The Orion Fixed Glass Option utilizes 12mm tempered glass, which is not only strong and durable but also highly resistant to impact. This ensures that your outdoor space remains safe for all family members, including children and pets. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into small, blunt pieces if broken, reducing the risk of injury.

Sleek Aesthetics: The minimalist design of fixed glass sides enhances the modern aesthetic of your outdoor space. The clear glass creates an illusion of more space, making even smaller areas feel larger and more open. The clean lines and transparency of the glass complement any architectural style, from contemporary to classic.

The Guillotine Glass Side
Revolutionizing Louvre Systems: The Guillotine Glass Side (Coming Soon)
In the dynamic world of architectural innovation, Orion Roof Systems is poised to unveil a revolutionary addition to their product lineup – the guillotine glass side. This cutting-edge development is set to transform how we perceive and interact with louvre systems, offering a multitude of benefits for both residential and commercial spaces.
The Guillotine Glass System Unveiled
The guillotine glass system is an innovative architectural feature that masterfully blends the flexibility of louvre systems with the elegance of glass walls. It is essentially a vertically sliding glass panel that can be effortlessly raised or lowered within its frame. With the simple push of a button or turn of a handle, you gain full control over your environment, seamlessly transitioning between an open-air setting and an enclosed space. This versatility makes the guillotine glass system a unique addition to any louvre system, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
Benefits for Homes
Natural Light and Ventilation
One of the most significant advantages of incorporating guillotine glass systems into residential settings is their ability to optimize natural light and ventilation. When fully open, these glass panels invite an abundance of sunlight and fresh air into your home, creating a bright, airy atmosphere that can uplift the mood and well-being of the occupants. The ability to control this influx of natural elements ensures your living space remains comfortable year-round.
Versatility
Guillotine glass sides are incredibly versatile, making them ideal for various living spaces. Whether you want to transform your patio into a sunroom, create a cozy indoor-outdoor dining area, or simply enjoy unobstructed views of your garden, these systems can be tailored to fit your specific needs. Their adaptability ensures that your living spaces are not only functional but also stylish and in tune with your lifestyle.
Energy Efficiency
With advancements in insulation technology, guillotine glass systems play a crucial role in maintaining indoor temperatures. By providing an effective barrier against external weather conditions, they reduce the reliance on heating or cooling systems, leading to significant energy savings over time. This not only contributes to a more sustainable home but also to lower utility bills, making guillotine glass systems a cost-effective choice for modern living.
Aesthetic Appeal
The sleek, modern design of guillotine glass panels enhances the visual appeal of any home. Their clean lines and minimalist aesthetic can seamlessly blend with a wide range of architectural styles, from contemporary to classic. By becoming a focal point in your living space, guillotine glass systems can increase the overall aesthetic value and even the resale value of your home.
Privacy and Security
When closed, guillotine glass panels offer an extra layer of security and privacy. You can enjoy the benefits of an enclosed space, protecting your home from prying eyes and unwelcome intrusions, without sacrificing the connection to the outdoors. This feature is particularly valuable for homeowners who seek both openness and security in their living environments.
The Future of Architectural Innovation
As Orion Roof Systems prepares to launch the guillotine glass side in 2024, excitement is building in the world of architecture and design. This innovative addition to louvre systems is poised to redefine how we interact with our indoor and outdoor spaces, offering unparalleled versatility, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
Whether you're a homeowner looking to create a more open and inviting living space, or a business owner seeking to enhance the versatility and appeal of your establishment, the guillotine glass system may be the solution you've been searching for. With its seamless blend of aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability, it represents a glimpse into the future of architectural possibilities.
Stay tuned for the arrival of the guillotine glass side, and prepare to transform your space into a modern marvel that effortlessly adapts to your lifestyle or business needs. The future of architecture is here, and it's looking brighter and more dynamic than ever before.
Shaped Lourve Systems
Custom Solutions for Every Outdoor Space: The Versatile Orion System with Shaped Louvres
When it comes to enhancing outdoor areas, one size does not fit all. Many outdoor spaces come with unique dimensions and shapes that require bespoke solutions to fully utilize their potential. Enter the Orion System, a game-changer in the world of outdoor louvre systems. Designed to cater to diverse architectural needs, the Orion System offers unmatched flexibility with its shaped louvres, making it the ideal choice for any uniquely shaped outdoor area.
The Unique Flexibility of the Orion System
Not all outdoor areas are perfectly square or rectangular. Gardens, patios, and balconies often come with irregular shapes, tricky angles, and challenging layouts. The Orion System addresses these challenges head-on with its ability to accommodate shaped louvres. This adaptability ensures that no matter the shape of your outdoor space, the Orion System can provide a seamless, aesthetically pleasing, and functional solution.
Shaped Louvres: Custom Fit for Any Space
One of the standout features of the Orion System is its ability to create louvres in various shapes. Whether your space has sharp angles, curves, or non-standard dimensions, the Orion System can be tailored to fit perfectly. This capability is essential for maximizing the utility and appearance of outdoor areas that do not conform to traditional designs. By customizing the louvres to the specific requirements of your space, the Orion System ensures a harmonious integration with your existing architecture.
Adding Fixed Louvres for Enhanced Functionality
In addition to shaped louvres, the Orion System offers the option of adding fixed louvres. Fixed louvres provide consistent shade and ventilation, making them an excellent choice for areas that require constant airflow or protection from the sun. They can be strategically placed to optimize the performance of your outdoor space, providing a blend of style and practicality. This feature is particularly beneficial for creating zones within your outdoor area that cater to different needs, such as dining, lounging, or gardening.
Tackling Tricky Angles with Polycarbonate Solutions
Outdoor areas with tricky angles and irregular shapes can benefit from the Orion System's use of polycarbonate solutions. Polycarbonate is a durable, versatile material that can be molded to fit any angle or curve. It provides excellent protection from the elements while allowing natural light to filter through, creating a bright and inviting outdoor space. The ability to incorporate polycarbonate into the Orion System means that even the most challenging layouts can be effectively covered and protected.
Why Customization Matters
The importance of having a customizable louvre system like the Orion cannot be overstated. Every outdoor space is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach often falls short of meeting specific needs. The ability to tailor the louvres to fit precisely into any space ensures that the system enhances both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the area.
Customization allows homeowners to make the most of their outdoor spaces, turning awkward corners and unusual shapes into beautiful, usable areas. It also provides an opportunity to design a cohesive look that complements the overall architecture of the home. By choosing a system that can adapt to any shape and include additional features like fixed louvres and polycarbonate elements, homeowners can create a truly personalized outdoor environment.
The Orion System: A Smart Investment
Investing in the Orion System is a smart choice for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor living space. Its versatility and ability to be customized to any shape or angle make it a standout option in the market. Whether you're dealing with a small, irregularly shaped patio or a large, uniquely designed garden, the Orion System offers a solution that fits perfectly and functions beautifully.
Mastering Light and Space with Polycarbonate Elements
The Orion Roof System by Apollo NZ represents the pinnacle of versatility and design innovation in roofing solutions. While full louvre systems offer fantastic control and aesthetic uniformity, there are scenarios where a mixed-material approach, incorporating polycarbonate elements, provides superior benefits.
Enhanced Natural Lighting
One of the primary reasons to integrate polycarbonate panels into an Orion Roof System is to increase natural light penetration. This is particularly advantageous in areas that naturally suffer from low light conditions due to their orientation or overshadowing by other structures. Polycarbonate is revered for its ability to let in ample light while blocking harmful UV rays, making it an excellent choice for enhancing brightness without the risk of sun damage to interior furnishings.
Uninterrupted Architectural Lines
In some architectural designs, the continuity of lines and forms is paramount. Traditional louvre systems, with their horizontal blade profiles, can sometimes disrupt these lines, particularly under soffits or in uniquely designed spaces where blades might obstruct the view or architectural flow. Integrating clear or tinted polycarbonate panels maintains that clean look while still providing protection and light control.
Cost-Effective Solutions
Cost is a significant factor in any construction or renovation project. Polycarbonate panels, when used in conjunction with louvre systems, can offer a more cost-effective solution than a full louvre setup. The material costs for polycarbonate are generally lower than those for additional louvres, making it a budget-friendly option without compromising on style or functionality.
Flexible Design Options
The design flexibility of the Orion Roof System is one of its standout features. For spaces that require both shade and light, such as sunrooms, outdoor kitchens, or patio areas, mixing louvres with polycarbonate allows for custom zones of light and shadow. This can create dynamic spaces that change character throughout the day and seasons, adapting to the sun's position and the user's needs.
Improved Thermal Comfort
Polycarbonate panels can also contribute to a more stable thermal environment. In cooler months, they help trap heat, creating a naturally warmer space without the need for excessive heating. During warmer months, the panels can prevent heat buildup by diffusing direct sunlight, thus maintaining a comfortable temperature range.
Aesthetic Versatility
The aesthetic versatility that comes with the Orion Roof System is also a significant draw. Polycarbonate panels come in various finishes and tints, allowing them to blend seamlessly with any architectural style, from modern minimalist to traditional. This adaptability makes it easy to meet specific design requirements and personal tastes without sacrificing functionality.
Enhanced Durability and Maintenance
Polycarbonate is renowned for its strength and durability, resisting impacts that would typically damage glass or other materials. This resilience makes it an excellent choice for areas prone to harsh weather conditions. Additionally, the maintenance of polycarbonate is relatively straightforward, requiring only occasional cleaning to maintain its clarity and performance.
Applications Beyond the Conventional
The use of the Orion Roof System with polycarbonate elements extends beyond typical residential applications. Commercial spaces like restaurants, cafes, and retail establishments can benefit immensely from this roofing solution. It allows for an open, airy atmosphere while protecting patrons from the elements, enhancing the overall customer experience.
The Orion Roof System by Apollo NZ, with its integration of polycarbonate elements, offers a unique combination of functionality, style, and practicality. Whether for residential or commercial use, this system provides a versatile solution that enhances natural lighting, maintains architectural integrity, and offers cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing options. Embrace the innovation and design flexibility of the Orion Roof System to create spaces that truly shine.

Custom Wall Options for Every Style
Customization doesn’t stop at the roof—the Orion Entertainment Room’s walls are just as adaptable to your vision. Choose solid aluminum walls for a sleek, minimalist look or mix materials for a more dynamic appearance with solid walls on the lower half and fixed glass above. This flexibility means you can design your room exactly how you want it: to be a cozy enclosed space or one with views of the outdoors, blending both privacy and connection to your surroundings.
For those who want ultimate versatility, you can also opt for frameless sliding glass at the front of the room. This addition not only allows you to enclose the space when needed but also keeps your entertainment area secure. Whether it’s a stormy night or a time when you need to lock up your outdoor items safely, the frameless sliding glass offers a simple yet effective solution.
Elevate Your Outdoor Entertainment Experience
An entertainment room should be more than just a covered space; it should be an experience. That’s why we offer a range of entertainment options to enhance the functionality of your Orion Entertainment Room. Imagine hosting a summer BBQ with a full outdoor kitchen setup, complete with a grill and prep space.

Orion Roof System Motorised Kitset
Orion Roof System Motorised Kitset: A Perfect Blend of Style and Functionality
Are you looking to elevate your outdoor space with a stylish and functional addition? Look no further than the Orion Roof System Motorised Kitset. Designed to combine the benefits of the Orion roof system with cost-effectiveness and ease of installation, this kitset offers fixed sizes that cater to various dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit for your outdoor area.
The Orion Roof System Motorised Kitset comes in a range of sizes, including 5 x 4, 5 x 5, 6 x 3, 6 x 4, 6 x 5, and 7 x 4, all with a height of 2.6 meters. Moreover, the height can be adjusted down if needed, providing flexibility to meet your specific requirements. Louvre lights are standard with the kitset, enhancing the ambiance of your outdoor space.
Unlike traditional pergolas, where the gutter is a separate element, the Orion system seamlessly integrates the gutter into the beam. This not only enhances the structural integrity of the pergola but also streamlines the installation process, allowing you to enjoy your new outdoor retreat sooner.
Another key element contributing to the longevity of the Orion Roof System is the use of brass H59 for drive brass sleeves and brass rings for pivot louver blades. Unlike plastic drive parts, brass components are highly resistant to wear and tear, ensuring reliable operation for years to come. While the cost of brass H59 may be higher, its importance in ensuring long-lasting usage cannot be overstated.
In addition to its durability, the Orion Roof System prioritizes aesthetics and functionality. By concealing all screws and bolts inside the post or beam, the pergola maintains a clean and seamless appearance. From the bottom view, the gap between the louvre blades is minimal, enhancing waterproof performance and ensuring a tight seal when closed.
Furthermore, the motor is cleverly designed to be housed inside the aluminum beam, away from direct contact with water and rain. This not only protects the motor from the elements but also ensures smooth and reliable operation, even in adverse weather conditions.
Whether you're hosting outdoor gatherings, enjoying family meals, or simply unwinding after a long day, the Orion Roof System Motorised Kitset transforms your outdoor space into a versatile and inviting retreat. With its blend of style, functionality, and durability, it's the perfect choice for enhancing your outdoor living experience.
