Sun, shade or shelter – whatever the weather, whatever your inclination,
versatile concertina Sky Louvres, invented by Johnson and Couzins,
are the stylish way to transform your outdoor environment instantly
A sprawling deck or outdoor dining area
is a great place to spend the afternoon, or
to hold a party – that’s unless the sun’s too
hot or it rains. Now, there’s an easy way to
make the most of your outdoor area – come
rain or come shine.
Established in 1866 and a recognised
leading louvre specialist in this country,
Johnson and Couzins has now re-branded
its pioneering concertina retractable out-
door louvre system as Sky Louvres, says
director James Adair.
“There‘s a lot of competition out there
search | save | share at
and we wanted to make sure our clients
knew what to ask for. We are very proud of
this louvre system which is the first of its
kind for New Zealand and as such offers a
major point of difference for homeowners,”
says Adair “While some other systems
rotate to admit or block the sun or keep out
rain, we specifically invented the Sky
Louvre to take things a step further.
“When the weather is fine, you can
rotate the blades remotely but also with a
push of a button actually concertina the
whole louvre ceiling off to the sides. So,
one minute there’s a dependable sun
shade or rain cover in place – and next
minute the sky is clear overhead.”
Sky Louvres also boast clean-lined
architectural good looks, with no visible
moving parts except the blades rotating or
retracting – making them ideal for both
contemporary and traditional homes. Plus
their sleek looks and rugged construction
make them equally suited to commercial
environments, such as eateries and bars.
And Sky Louvres certainly are rugged.
