Select an option from each of the 5 steps below to assist you in creating your Aerotech Opening Louvred Roof specification. If you require a project costing enter this information into the ‘Budget Estimate Form‘ tab. A SkyMax representative will provide an accurate project costing based on your information.
Step 1 – Select Blade Layout
Select the best direction of the blades for your project, this will determine the blade width and pivot of your system.
Step 2 – Select Support Frame Type
Select the support frame that will best suit your project, type 4 is an optional extra that Skymax can supply within our scope of works.
Step 3 – Select Control Requirements
Technology has come a long way, especially in the area of outdoor living comfort.
Have you one roof or more. Do you want them controlled individually or all as a group? Do you want to be able to do both? Do you want automatic rain protection? What accessories are important to you? Lighting? Heating? Audio? Do you have garden lighting, or water features that you would like to incorporate?
Hardwired Wall Switch
Control upto 2 roof from 1 panel inbuilt rain sensor controller can be included as an option. Easily Open | Stop | Close – press the open or close button and the roof will fully open or fully close. Press ‘STOP’ anywhere in between. (Most universal type switches can be used to operate roofs in a hardwired installation.)
Wall Mounted Remote Switch
Stylish & simple to install, these wireless transmitters are available in a variety of colours & finishes. Control 1 roof through to 4 roofs with preset positions optional and also control your lighting systems from the 1 panel. The battery is easily accessed to replace, a low battery LED signal appears 3 months in advance.
Hand Held Remote
Sleek and contemporary design the Evo Hand Held Remote easily controls up 42 zones while also being able to include 4 preset positions. Efficiently control lighting, heating & audio. Control your roofs in a group or individual configuration, while also being able to integrate the remote control with your building management system if it is required.
Smart Phone Control
Connect to your home WiFi and operate the roof through your phone, tablet, laptop or PC. MyHand lets you interact any automated system from anywhere in your building, it is so simple to create scenes and program the weekly timer. Its stylish design means that MyHand will discreetly integrate anywhere within your building.
Step 4 – Select Sensor Type (if required)
Get the maximum use from your Opening Louvred Roof. You will need to consider all the benefits the Aerotech system can provide including: fresh air, ventilation, sun protection, light control, rain protection & most importantly the option to be able to sit underneath the stars in the evening or simply let out the smoke from your BBQ. All of this is possible by integrating the following sensors.
Rain Sensor
With the inclusion of the Aerotech Rain Sensor your Opening Louvred Roof will intelligently automatically close when rain is detected, keeping your guest’s and valuable furnishings dry at all times.
Light (Sun) Sensor
The Aerotech Green Screen light sensor system automatically adjusts the light intensity according to the variation of the natural light keeping the ambient level constant. Automatic adjustment of light intensity by adjusting blade positions & optional side screen deployment.
Temperature Sensor
The Aerotech temperature sensor will detect movements in the temperature and adjust the blades to maintain preset temperature levels, ensuring maximum outdoor living comfort is maintained.
Wind Sensor
With wind pressure increasing without notice this can cause a operational hazard to your business or entertaining time the inclusion of a wind sensor will ensure your roof opens & closes to the predetermined levels. The roof can open or close when high winds are detected.
Step 5 – Select Powder Coat Colour
The Dulux & Interpon colour selectors are a helpful guide to choosing the most suitable colour combination for your Aerotech Series Opening Louvred Roof system. Long term performance of your coating will be enhanced by regular care and maintenance of your powder coated surfaces. Some of the benefits are…
- Contain no harmful volatile organic solvents
- Free of heavy metal pigments such as lead, cadmium, arsenic & mercury
- Proven low temperature curing technology
- Produced with stringent Safety, Health & Environmental policies and standards
- Developed with consideration of life cycle analysis, to guide our suppliers and the materials we use
- Manufactured in facilities where significant energy and resources employed in production, are measured with aggressive reduction targets in place

A World Of Difference.
SkyMax Aerotech Series Opening Louvred Roofs have been intelligently designed to incorporate four very distinct design features that elevate the Aerotech system over alternate systems.
Aerotech System
A larger opening between blades is achieved by utilising a heavy duty linear shaped aluminium extrusion profile. Delivering a clean, unobstructed view through blades when in open position.
Symmetrical linear blade design ensures total control of light ingress & delivers an unmatched architectural appearance.
The Aerotech system delivers complete rain protection by utilising integrated storm insertion technology within each blade. When blades are closed from the underside a clean architectural panelled built-in ceiling effect is achieved.
Larger blade widths are achieved thanks to a combination of the innovative blade design & the wall thickness of the 6061 grade extruded aluminium utilised in the Aerotech blade. The additional stiffening gives the system unmatched structural integrity and a higher wind rating.
The Aerotech system is ideal for coastal applications as all components are manufactured from non-corrosive materials & finishes. Select from over 300 standard powder coat colours or customise your Opening Louvred Roof System with a large selection of anodised architectural finishes.
Alternate Systems
Alternate systems are typically manufactured from light-weight type of materials and to achieve similar spans these blades are typically thicker than the Aerotech blade, this results in the clear opening between each blade to be significantly less than the Aerotech.
Alternate systems typically each blade has two very different shapes defining the top & bottom of blade, your eye ends up focusing on one side of the blade and not focusing on the view through the blades, giving a cluttered appearance.
Alternate systems can typically deliver a misting effect when enduring heavy rain fall & in addition the underside of the blades will typically have the appearance of a colour bond roof type material.
Alternate systems typically the blades have a maximum span of up to 3500mm in width, this mean that additional motors and support cross beams are required for larger spaces making the space cluttered in comparison to the Aerotech System.
Alternate systems require a defined three-dimensional shape to provide the stability & typically are manufactured from .8mm thick colour bond steel material, these types of materials can be corrosive if installed in coastal environments.
