Outdoor living with folding roofs

At the moment, there are several designs of flexible folding roofs. It is equally very important to note that these roofs are electrically operated retractable fabric and aluminium roof covers. These same roofs are characteristic of structural design which is what actually allows them to open and close with relative ease as it is usually the case with the roof of modern convertible cars.

The fairly versatile folding roof system serves to offer a retractable patio or terrace cover which is capable of withstanding not only the scorching sun but also wind, rain and even snow. You will be glad to learn that the exceptional flexibility that is characteristic of this roof coupled with its sizing is what actually makes it ideal for use in an abundance of environments especially to cover up small and large areas at any given time.

According to reports, the technology used in the design of folding roofs such as the Weinor flexible folding roof has been previously tried and tested, this coupled with the several years of manufacturing retractable awnings is what makes the use of these flexible folding roofs a reality for many people especially new modern home owners.

 Regardless of the design, it is important to note that when closed, folding roofs tend to provide shelter from excessive amounts of sun, wind as well as heavy rain downpours. On the other hand, when it is opened, it lets you enjoy lots of sunshine without necessarily making you feel overclouded. In fact, these roofs self-supporting structures even withstand strong winds. What’s more, the motor component fitted in each and every design’s structure completely gets rid of the effort in opening it while at the same time retracting the tear resistant light – tight and waterproof PVC awning material.

Folding roofs such as the Weinor flexible folding roof are also usually fitted with tear resistant fabric which is fastened all through to the aluminium transom sections enabling the roof (especially when extended) to be able to withstand wind strengths of up to 8 on the Beaufort scale. In addition to all of the above, it is equally worth noting that the minimum inclination angle of 8 degrees comfortably allows rain water to drain forwards into the front mounted integral gutter systems specially included for helping to direct rainwater down to the drainage while also serving as additional support for the roof posts. Take note: usually, the front support posts would be concreted or in some cases screwed onto the patio floors depending on the constructional circumstances.

Everything taken into consideration, it is clearly evident from the above that flexible folding roofs serve as a guarantee for ultimate control from the diversity of English weather all through the year. Simply put, in addition to the simple control mechanisms, these types of roof serve as a guarantee for ultimate control over the sun, heat and winds in any immediate outdoor environment which in turn will allow you to enjoy your garden or patio area anytime any day. To crown it all up, you will also be free to add any additional lighting or eco-friendly heating solutions should the need arise.
