At Soltex, we provide high-quality louvre roof systems designed for both domestic and commercial applications, giving you complete control over your outdoor space. Our systems allow you to open or close the roof to let in light, fresh air, or shelter from the rain, making it the perfect solution for outdoor entertaining areas, patios, and courtyards. We can also add lighting and heating options to further enhance your outdoor space.

Many people refer to these systems by the brand name Vergola, which was one of the original companies in Western Australia offering louvre roof solutions. However, while Vergola is a brand that has provided louvre roof systems in the past, louvre roof systems (including the ones provided by Soltex) are a category of product that operates on the same basic principle: adjustable louvres that can be opened or closed to control the weather conditions in your outdoor space.

At Soltex, we pride ourselves on offering a modern, customised solutions that provide greater durability, energy efficiency, and advanced control options compared to other systems. Our Soltex Louvre Roofs are engineered with cutting-edge technology, giving you smoother operation and better longevity. Our systems are fully automated, allowing you to adjust your roof using a remote control and sensors for rain and wind can be incorporated, ensuring convenience and ease of use.

Though Vergola has been a part of the Australian louvre roof market since the early days, at Soltex, we provide a versatile and innovative solution that suits modern needs, with an emphasis on superior engineering and customisation. Our systems are perfect for homeowners or businesses looking for an adaptable, long-lasting outdoor roof system that can meet a variety of climate conditions.

If you’re searching for a louvre roof system, know that Vergola and louvre roofs are the same.
