Benefits of a Louvered Roof
Louvered roofs are a new trend that found themselves a way in our outdoor living life. It is a well-known fact that everything done outdoors in the privacy and security of our property is more enjoyable, especially when it is done with friends and family. However, the natural elements are getting more intense and often limit our enjoyment of those situations. You might have a great deck to entertain your guests, but the West Coast hard sun or the frequent rain showers are playing party poopers.
The solution is a louvered roof, which can be closed, partially opened or totally opened, depending on the day and of your preferences. Louvered roofs have many benefits, including
- Protecting people from rain and sun
- Protecting your deck
- Controlling the temperature
- Offering a better ventilation than a fixed roof
The obvious reason people consider a louvered roof is to protect themselves and their guests of the rain and of the sun. In the Greater Seattle Area, sun is very enjoyable most of the time, although it can be too strong on occasions. The region is also famous for frequent rain showers. Louvered roofs offer you a protection for both situations, thanks to their versatility.
What people often overlook, however, is the benefit it brings to your deck. A deck below a louvered roof will be less exposed to the elements, so it will have a longer lifespan. It will be less damaged by the rain episodes and will also be cooked less intensely under the warmth and the sun. This will help keep your deck in perfect condition for a longer period, and will reduce your regular maintenance.
Beyond the sun and rain protection, louvered roofs are great tools to control the temperature under them. Is it too hot to fully enjoy the day out? Close the roof, partially or totally, to block the sun. You can rotate the louvers to block the sun, but keep the roof partially opened to let the warmth go through, using the natural flow of warm air to go up. At night, close the roof totally to prevent the warmth from escaping the structure and maintain a cozy temperature below.
Besides the temperature benefits we just discussed, the control over ventilation has other advantages. For example, if you have a fixed roof, and you are cooking BBQ under it, all the smoke and smells would remain under the fixed roof. With a louvered roof, you can easily crack open the roof by rotating the louvers to let the smoke get out. You can orient the louvers to block the wind or to let it in.
Based on your preferences, the type of activities you have, the orientation of your house and the direction from where the winds normally come in your sector, our expert builders will give you sound advice regarding the building and orientation of your louvered roof. Put us to the test.
