Look for these features below to ensure that you have the best retractable roof system installed on your property.
1. Sturdy Materials – There are different materials used in retractable roofs, but compact polycarbonate sheets are known to be the most durable material for retractable roof systems. Any metals used should be non-corroding and anti-rust – this ensures durability. Overall, the materials should be sturdy to withstand all weather conditions and yet be light in weight for easy installation.
2. Leak-Proof – Retractable roofs are used as extended spaces for various reasons and are furnished with not just furniture but also a heating/cooling system, lights, etc. They should be fortified with premium quality EPDM Gaskets to ensure they are leak-proof when there is rainfall. Check for the type of gaskets used during the installation. They should come with a warranty.
3. Manual and Motorized Option – The motorized option for a retractable roof makes it easier to operate it. With the small click of a button, one can open or close the roof whenever desired. For instance, open the roof to let in light and fresh air in the morning and close it at night or when the weather isn’t friendly for open views. However, a manual operating system should also be added as an option to operate it –as an alternate option for an emergency in case, the remote system doesn’t function.
4. Should Offer Warranty – Retractable roof system is an investment. The cost of installing one isn't on the cheaper side; hence the company you assign the job to install the roof must offer a warranty for their product.
5. Enhanced Features – Additional features increase the value of any product, and the same applies for the retractable roof too. Additional features offered by the company, such as UV-protected polycarbonate sheets, make it even more functional and beneficial.
