A louvre roof system is a versatile structure that adds functionality and beauty to any house. The louvre roof systems act as an extension to your house, entryway, deck, and garage. In addition, it can serve as a roof for your walkway or porch and backyard. From a highly ornate customised structure to prefabricated woodwork, the inclusion of louvre roof will indeed introduce character into the landscape, making the space feel welcoming and warm.

However, just like any other structures in your garden or backyard, louvre roof systems also require little care and maintenance from time to time to keep them looking good and functional throughout the year. Given that louvre roof systems are exposed to natural elements 365 days and 24/7, it’s very important to know the basic maintenance to extend the lifespan of your roof system. Here’s your louvre roof maintenance guide:-

Cleaning

Cleaning a louvre roof system is one of the essential things to do when it comes to maintenance, regardless of the material. Use a high-pressure water hose to clean the louvre roof systems in a downward direction for the same. Rinsing the structure with water can help remove any dirt, grime, or dust on the surface. It’s a good idea to invest in a cleaner for cleaning the structure as you can use the cleaner with a bristled brush or with a toothbrush for areas that are hard to clean. Clean the roof with soap and water and use the degreaser to remove persistent stains and let it dry.

Cleaning the Screens

If you have screens on the sides of your louvres, it is important to clean them as well. Use a sponge or damp cloth and wipe the dirt and dust thoroughly. You might not do this frequently as the fabric is covered with an advanced coating.

Clean the Gutters

Finally, clean the gutters completely to remove the dirt and leaves that are settled in the inner edge of the slatted roof. Use a garden hammer to remove the residues. If the roof is surrounded by trees, you might need to clean the roof frequently and keep an eye on the gutters, especially during autumn.

With proper maintenance and care, the roof system can look beautiful and be functional throughout the year, regardless of the weather. A fully automatic slatted roof provides maximum protection from natural elements and privacy to you, making it a better shading solution for any space.
