A PE-stamped Azenco R-Blade™ motorized louvered roof installation designed to extend the club's outdoor season, handle Long Island's coastal weather, and match the architectural language of the clubhouse.
Lake Success Country Club approached Breslow with a clear operational goal: eliminate the weather-dependency that was quietly costing them member dining revenue through the shoulder seasons. The club's existing outdoor terrace was one of the most popular spaces on the property when conditions cooperated — and empty the rest of the time.
The ask wasn't a pergola. It was a weather-independent outdoor room — one that could open to sun on a clear afternoon, seal against a coastal storm in minutes, and read architecturally as part of the clubhouse rather than an add-on.
Long Island added a specific engineering problem: the site's wind exposure and NYC-area commercial building code required structural performance that off-the-shelf residential pergolas simply cannot meet.
Breslow specified the Azenco R-Blade™ — the same commercial-grade motorized louvered system we install for restaurant groups, rooftop hospitality, and other country clubs across the Northeast. Aluminum louvers rotate 160° for shade, sunlight, and ventilation, then close and seal against rain in under 60 seconds.
Our structural engineering team stamped the drawings for the site's commercial wind loads. Framing, beam spans, and column footings were all sized to the actual installation — not a catalog spec. RAL-matched finish was selected to read with the clubhouse trim, and integrated LED lighting and perimeter screens were specified from day one so the members experience a single, finished outdoor room rather than a pergola with accessories bolted on afterward.
Full turnkey: design → PE engineering → permitting → fabrication → installation → lifetime service. One team, one point of accountability.
Every commercial structure Breslow installs ships with PE-stamped engineering calculated for the actual site — not a generic dealer spec sheet. Here is what went into Lake Success.
Commercial decisions aren't made from a pergola catalog. Every Breslow commercial project begins with a photo-real design rendering so stakeholders — GM, board, architect, owner — see the finished space before a single beam is ordered.

A Breslow project manager on every commercial job. One point of contact from the first site walk through final punch list. No relay between sales, design, engineering, and install.
PE-stamped engineering is standard, not an add-on. Commercial load calculations, wind ratings (open and closed louvers), and state-specific stamps are included in the scope. Architects and GCs receive full shop drawings and AIA-compatible specs.
Permitting in NYC, Long Island, and across the Northeast. We expedite DOB submissions, handle state-specific commercial requirements, and track the approval timeline so construction starts on schedule.
Full lifecycle — not a dealership handoff. Most Azenco dealers sub out engineering, permitting, and service. Breslow keeps all of it in-house. That's why country clubs, restaurant groups, and commercial property owners across 9 states trust us with their outdoor revenue.
102 years of continuous operation. Breslow was founded in 1924 and is still Shaw-family operated. When you install a commercial structure from us, the company backing the warranty will still be here in ten years.
Lifetime service on everything we install. Motorized systems need a service partner. We are that partner — one phone call, one team.
Tell us what you're trying to build. Our commercial team will walk your site, develop a photo-real design rendering, and give you a PE-stamped engineering scope and timeline — before you commit to anything.
