Equinox Louvered Roof FAQs

  • What are the benefits of an Equinox Louvered Roof?

    Equinox is designed and built to last. Durable aluminum components tested under Miami-Dade County Hurricane protocols are engineered to withstand the local elements.

  • How does an Equinox Louvered Roof work?

    Equinox Louvered Roofs contain louver blades that rotate within a fixed frame. Driven by a solar-powered motor, the louvers rotate in unison to allow the exact amount of light, shade, and ventilation desired. When closed, the interlocking louver blades create a waterproof seal. The louvers are slightly pitched to direct water into an integrated gutter and downspout system that channels rainwater away from the covered area. 


    Residential roofs are typically controlled by a rechargeable solar-powered battery and a remote control that require no additional wiring or power from the home. Depending on the roof size, commercial roofs are controlled by one or more toggle switches located near the patio area. The motor is powered by a transformer connected to an ordinary 110v outlet.

  • Where can an Equinox Louvered Roof be installed?

    Equinox Louvered Roof systems can be used wherever sun, light, and weather control is needed. Whether covering a patio, deck, spa, pool, outdoor kitchen, BBQ area, entryway, or courtyard, Equinox roofs are designed and engineered to enhance outdoor lifestyles. The roofs may be built as free-standing systems or attached to an existing structure.

  • Do you have a warranty?

    The louvers and all support components (beams, gutters, and posts) are warranted for twenty (20) years from the date of installation against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service.


    The power components (motor, solar panel, link bar, electronic controls) are warranted for three (3) years (parts replacement only) from the date of installation. Batteries are warranted for one (1) year from the date of installation.
