The project included the installation of 4 x Retractable all – weather roof systems to the external dining courtyard at one of WA’s most renowned wineries in the Swan Valley – Sandalford Winery. The design brief called for an integrated and unobtrusive system which would marry into the existing building whilst also providing a high-end finish for the award-winning restaurant. The retractable roof system was installed into purpose-built framework and provides the patrons access to the morning sun when retracted and protection from the harsh midday sun and rain during winter when extended. Integral to the project was the consideration of the 120-year-old existing vines which not only required light to grow and thrive but also could not be touched during the installation of the roof system. Thanks to the Soltex team the Sandalford winery now has an amazing outdoor space for the restaurant and allows it to host functions all year round.
