Five advantages of a folding roof

Hello spring!

The fresh spring sun is up early in the morning sky. Birds are whistling, your garden has more and more colour and the spring jitters are undoubtedly racing through your body. Especially now that we are at home in this special time, the outdoors becomes our best friend. You may also consider installing a veranda on your terrace, this way you can get the most out of the outdoors whatever the weather. However, we can imagine that you may still have doubts and questions, for example; ‘How does the roof restrict the natural light into my home’ and ‘Will I still have enough space to really enjoy the sun?’

In this blog we will give you the answer to this: a folding roof as a flexible solution that is more than worth considering. A folding roof is a roof with a fixed frame and a water-repellent and sun-resistant canvas. You can easily open and close this cloth. This type of veranda offers many advantages that we list for you.

Advantage 1: Veranda and blinds in one

The first reason for choosing a folding roof is the flexibility. Following on from our introduction, the folding roof is a covering and sun protection in one. This gives you plenty of choice meaning you choose to enjoy the sun to the maximum. You simply open the canvas and if the sun is too bright, simply close the canvas again. At the same time a closed roof offers you plenty of protection against the rain. So, you can sit outside, while you smell that lovely fresh spring rain. You can also relax and arrange everything with the push of a button on the remote control.

Advantage 2: No hassle, and a nice look

You may recognise this situation; dragging a heavy umbrella or parasol around, what a hassle. If you have installed your parasol well and reinforced it with heavy stones before you know it the sun has already moved. With a folding roof, this is a thing of the past, especially by removing the hassle and unsightly look of a parasol. A folding roof therefore gives a nice look to your home. In addition, you enjoy plenty of comfort due to the simple operation. You are in full control and the hassle of umbrellas is a thing of the past.

Advantage 3: Weather stability

March, April, and May can be rainy months. Well - we are not even talking about the storms of last February! The fact is that the English climate can be unpredictable. Good to know that a folding roof is wind and weather stable. It is therefore resistant to wind and weather. Essential for this is the use of the right materials that is why we use aluminium., this ensures a sturdy construction. For example, take a look at the Deponti Verdeca folding roof.

Advantage 4: Possibilities to enrich your roof

A folding roof offers extra possibilities to enrich your outdoor life. With the addition of LED lighting in the beams of the fabric, you arrange the perfect ambiance. This way you can enjoy memorable outdoor moments long after the sun has set. And when you add the Fiano glass sliding walls, you make a wonderful garden room enabling you to sit outside and enjoy the experience for longer.

Advantage 5: Convenience and low maintenance

Last, but not least, you do not want any hassle with maintenance, perfectly understandable. That is why we have developed (most) folding roofs with an aluminium frame and PVC cloth. Both materials are durable and easy to clean with a wet cleaning cloth, this way you can make the roof shine again in no time.
