Modern R-Blade™ Motorized Louvered Roof · Essex County
The Maplewood, New Jersey homeowners wanted to convert an underused backyard patio into a true outdoor room — a modern, motorized louvered roof that would let them entertain in any weather, hold up to Northeast winters, and read as a designed architectural extension of the home. We were brought in as Essex County's certified R-Blade specialist to design and install it end-to-end.
We installed a custom Azenco R-Blade™ motorized louvered roof system, engineered to a 165 mph wind rating and specified for the exact dimensions of this Maplewood property. The aluminum louvers rotate 90 degrees at the touch of a button so the homeowners can shift between full sun, soft dappled shade, and fully closed weather protection — and an integrated rain sensor automatically closes the louvers when it detects precipitation, so the patio stays usable through pop-up summer storms without intervention.
"A custom AZEK trim package wraps the columns and beams, hiding every motor, sensor wire, and mounting bracket behind clean architectural lines.
