The Eclipse Louvre Opening Roof System allows people to control the weather in their backyards year round. It is extremely useful for casually entertaining guests or for just relaxing. In particular, this opening roof system has an excellently engineered louvre system. Upon the simple pressing of a button, louvres will be rotated up to one hundred and eighty degrees. This allows those using the system to catch rays of sun, get protection from the wind, or get the levels of shade that they desire. When the louvres are closed, they are tightly locked together, forming a roof with a water tight seal on it in the process.

At this point, it should be noted that the louvres are rotated one hundred and eighty degrees by the use of a small 12 volt DC motor that provides the convenience of a touch button. This motor receives its power from a small transformer that can be plugged into a standard electrical outlet. A rechargeable battery or a solar cell system can also be used to power the system. Thus, the system is energy efficient.

The Eclipse Opening Roof System is covered by a ten year guarantee, which certainly gives people who purchase it peace of mind. In addition to this desirable aspect as well as its being energy efficient, the system has many beneficial features including that louvres can be angled in the direction of the sun; louvres can be angled away from the sun; louvres can be angled to provide a partial amount of shade; components are made of stainless steel and aluminum louvres have a powdercoat finish; and louvres close tightly together with an overlapping system that is unique. Each of these aspects are discussed in detail below.

To begin, louvres of the Eclipse roof system can be angled in the direction of the sun. The benefits of such a feature can not be stated enough. This allows the sunlight's warmth to infiltrate rooms during cold winter months; outdoor areas can benefit from the sun's heat as well. Furthermore, such an attribute plays a role in reducing heating bills and increasing peoples' level of comfort. To illustrate this, such a system can provide more comfortable conditions for a birthday party taking place outside on a cool but sunny spring day.

Louvres that are part of the Eclipse roof system can also be angled away from the sun, which also has benefits attached to it. Such a feature provides shade during hot summer months, reduces the high costs of air conditioning, provides enhanced levels of comfort, provides protection from harmful UV sun rays, and allows for outdoor activities in sunny conditions.

In addition to having the ability to be angled away from the sun or towards it, louvres of the Eclipse system can also be angled to provide a partial amount of shade. This is beneficial as it enables people to control the amounts of light, sun, and heat that they desire. Furthermore, full shade and cooling can simultaneously be enjoyed as warm air escapes through louvres. Similarly, smoke from a BBQ grill can be ventilated through the roof of the Eclipse system.

Another solid benefit of the Eclipse system with an opening roof is that its components are made out of stainless steel or aluminum that is tough and extruded. This speaks to the high levels of quality prevalent in the Eclipse Opening Roof System, which is sure to last those who purchase it for years to come. Furthermore, the quality construction can give people the peace of mind that they will be adequately protected in the event of a bad storm where hail and debris are present.

Components of the Eclipse system also have a powdercoat finish. This ensures that the product is very easy to maintain and provides excellent resistance to hail. The powdercoat finish, like the components made out of stainless steel or top-rate aluminum, once again speak to the high level of quality and peace of mind that an Eclipse Opening Roof System provides.

Last but not least, louvres close tightly together with an overlapping system that is unique. The main benefits of this feature are that the Eclipse system provides adequate protection from rain, which leads to people being able to do any activity that they wish outdoors regardless of weather. This is especially an extremely useful feature where events and get-togethers are concerned. For instance, it provides peace of mind for a couple who is planning an outdoor wedding. Bad weather can not ruin their reception with the use of an Eclipse Opening Roof System, assuming that they most likely planned the outdoor nuptials for some day in the spring or the summer where the temperatures tend to be warmer but when rain can ruin an outdoor party if alternate arrangements have not been made.

On a final note, the Eclipse Opening Roof System can either be designed as a stand-alone structure or as part of an existing patio structure that incorporates fixed roof panels. The systems come in a variety of styles and colors that can suit most any home.
