Project Inspiration
Outdoor Comfort All Year Round
For this client, we installed a UGS aluminium glazing system with integrated drop-down blinds, creating an outdoor area that can be enclosed for warmth during cooler winter days or evenings and opened up on warmer, sunny days. Designed and engineered in New Zealand for local conditions, the system is built to accommodate blinds and offers a modern, functional solution suitable for both residential and commercial spaces.
Modern Gable Roof Design
This project features a gable roof design, chosen as a modern and more affordable alternative to a traditional conservatory. Its structure allows spans greater than six metres, making it well-suited to larger outdoor areas while maintaining a clean, contemporary look. Using the adaptability of the UGS aluminium glazing system, the roof was designed specifically to suit the space, delivering strength, style, and functionality.
Butterfly Roof for High Wind Zones
In this brief, the client required a structure suited to a very high wind zone while allowing for spans greater than six metres. A butterfly roof design was selected as the ideal alternative to a gable roof, featuring a central gutter that directs water away from the existing house gutter system.
Heat-Reducing Opal Panel Upgrade
For this project, the client wanted a solution to reduce the intense heat on a back deck during summer while keeping the space bright and inviting. Opal polycarbonate panels were chosen to block heat while maintaining light transmission. Using the UGS Clearspan Bar system, the new panels were integrated into the existing timber frame, providing an effective, durable, and visually appealing upgrade without the need for a full structural rebuild.
Angled Roof Integration
This project demonstrates how angling a roof back into an existing gutter can transform and open up an outdoor space. The adaptability of the UGS aluminium glazing system made it possible to achieve the exact result the client wanted, creating a functional and visually appealing addition that works seamlessly with the existing building design.
Custom Bracket Solutions
For this installation, the outdoor roof was attached directly to the soffit, made possible with UGS’s range of custom brackets. Each bracket is fully customised to suit the specific building connection, providing flexibility in both placement and overall design. This approach ensured the roof integrated neatly with the existing structure while meeting the client’s design requirements.
