OUTDOOR LIVING, YOUR WAY
A Sintesi is a motorised, waterproof retractable roof system that glides along tracks over your patio, pergola or pool. Open it to let the sun and breeze in, or close it in seconds to shut out fierce sun and heavy rain. Built-in gutters carry the water away through the posts, so the space underneath stays dry and usable all year. Best of all, in most cases it needs no council approval to install.
ALL-WEATHER
The Sintesi is covered with a fully waterproof architectural fabric and sheds up to 56 litres of rain per square metre every hour. An integrated gutter runs along the front bar and the downpipes are hidden inside the posts, so rain drains away neatly and the space underneath stays dry.
BUILT TO LAST
Rated to winds of up to 102km/h, the Sintesi is one of the strongest retractable roof systems available. The extruded aluminium frame and steel components are engineered for Australian sun, wind and rain, and every system is made to the European CE standard and backed by a 5-year warranty.
MADE TO MEASURE
Every Sintesi is made to measure. A single unit spans up to 6 metres and projects out to 6.8 metres, and units link together to cover up to 24 metres for large patios or commercial areas. Choose from up to 140 powder-coat colours so the frame blends with your home.
| Model | Mounting | Max width | Projection | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | Wall or structure | 6m (24m linked) | 6.8m | Large patios & alfresco |
| Ghost | Built into a pergola | 4.5m (9m linked) | 5.5m | A sleek, concealed look |
| Shade | Free-standing | 4.5m (9m linked) | 7m | Pools, courtyards & gardens |
| Quattro | Free-standing pavilion | Linked spans | Single or double pitch | Large open areas |
MAKE IT YOURS
Beyond size and colour, a few smart add-ons turn your Sintesi into a true year-round room. Mix and match to suit how you live outdoors.
LIGHT IT UP
Warm-white dimmable LED strips run inside the frame, so the space is lit for evening dinners and gatherings. Rated IP65 for the outdoors and controlled from the same remote.
STAY WARM
Add integrated heaters, up to 2300W each, covering around 6 square metres per unit. Take the chill off cool nights so you can use the space right through winter.
SIDES & FRONT
Close in the sides and front with fixed or retractable screens in clear PVC or mesh, manual or motorised. Add optional glass doors to make it a fully enclosed room.
HANDS-FREE
Fit rain, sun and wind sensors and the roof looks after itself, closing when the weather turns and opening again when it clears, even while you are out.
OUR RANGE
WALL OR STRUCTURE MOUNTED
The workhorse of the range. The Classic fixes to a wall or your own structure, with the carriage running neatly above the guide rails. It spans wider than any other model, so it is the go-to for large patios and alfresco areas.
FULLY CONCEALED
The sleekest option. The Ghost is built into a pergola or frame so the fabric disappears completely when retracted, and the windbreaks double as its storage casings. Clean lines, with nothing on show.
FREE-STANDING
A free-standing pergola system for spots with no wall to fix to. Drop it over a poolside lounge, a courtyard or a garden setting for instant, self-supporting shade.
FREE-STANDING PAVILION
A free-standing pavilion for big open spaces. The Quattro adds clean cladding around the perimeter columns and runs as a single or double pitch, so it works as a standalone outdoor room.
SMART HOME READY
Every Sintesi is motorised as standard. Open or close it with a remote or from your phone, and add rain and sun sensors so it reacts to the weather on its own. Dimmable LED lighting, heating and even a sound system can be built in, so your outdoor room works day or night, summer or winter.
Turn a sun-baked patio into a real outdoor room. Open the roof for a breezy lunch, then close it before the afternoon sun or a storm rolls in.
Our Recommendation
Add a front valance to block low glare.
Host all year round. Add lighting and heating and the space stays comfortable long after the sun goes down, whatever the weather.
Our Recommendation
Choose a smaller projection with adjustable pitch.
Give diners all-weather alfresco seating that pays for itself. Tables stay usable in sun or rain, and in most cases it needs no development approval.
Our Recommendation
Go motorised for easy, everyday shade.
