Your home’s own umbrella

The erratic weather of spring means an umbrella should always be close at hand.

Better still, step onto your patio in the pouring rain knowing the Unique Bowranda arched roof above your head provides a permanent umbrella that will protect you from all kinds of weather all year long.

The Bowranda effectively creates for you another room outdoors. Existing decks, patio and barbecue areas or existing recesses are a wonderful place to start and add value to not only your lifestyle but the investment in your home.

The Bowranda can be installed solely as a roof or the finishing touches can be added with roller blinds in acrylic awning fabric, sunscreen mesh fabric or clear or tinted PVC providing the protection that you require from sun, wind, rain, and UV rays.

The advantage that the Bowranda has over other forms of sun shading is that, as a permanent structure, it is not dependent on the weather as to its use. If the wind blows, you can still enjoy the outdoors, sealing off the prevailing wind by lowering the appropriate blind.

The Bowranda patio roof is constructed of powder-coated aluminium and stainless steel fixings to ensure it will withstand coastal conditions.

The roof incorporates a highly specialised membrane that eliminates 99 percent of UV while maintaining ambient light. This protects you from the sun’s harmful rays without darkening the area, including the adjacent interior.

The square profile of the roof line provides a pleasing aesthetic as it conforms to the lineal nature of residential architecture.
