What’s the Best Louvre System for Coastal Homes?
Want to make sure your louvre roof is safe from harsh coastal elements?
Not sure which product is right for New Zealand’s salty sea air and wild winds?
We’ve got you covered – literally.
Most Kiwi homes are less than 40km from the coast, which means coastal conditions are a reality for many of us. If you live near the beach, or even just in a high humidity zone – its important to choose a louvre system designed for the environment. At Louvre Lounge, we offer products built specifically to perform in New Zealand’s toughest locations, including coastal homes.
Coastal Homes Need Tougher Materials – Here’s Why
Living near the ocean is incredible, but it comes with a few challenges:
- Salt spray can cause corrosion on inferior materials.
- High winds are common in exposed areas.
- Humidity and UV wear away cheap finishes faster than you would expect.
That’s why our louvre systems are designed from the ground up to resist corrosion, handle strong winds, and keep your outdoor area comfortable all year round.
Louvre Lounge Coastal-Grade Difference
Here’s what sets Louvre Lounge systems apart for coastal homes:
- 6063-T5 Aluminium
- 316 Stainless Steel Components
- Powder-Coated for Extra Protection
- Engineered for NZ Wind Zones
Optional Add-Ons for Coastal Living
Want extra peace of mind or functionality? Consider these options:
- Rain sensors – Auto-close your louvres the moment rain starts
- Side screens and outdoor blinds – Add shelter from sea breezes and privacy from neighbours
- Integrated lighting – Enjoy your space year-round.
Easy Maintenance for Long Term Performance
Even the best systems need a little TLC to stay looking sharp:
- Hose it down every few months to remove salt and dust
- Wipe down the frame and blades with soapy water
- Check fixings and seals once or twice a year
Our coatings and materials are built to last – but regular care keeps your investment looking like new.
