The POLLUX CORNELS® Elite series combines design, comfort and openness through its unique retractable louvre system. The louvres retract up to 80% and automatically tilt during opening, allowing natural light, airflow and an open-air experience to flow effortlessly into the space. When closed, the system is fully watertight and engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, including wind resistance up to 12 Beaufort and high snow loads. This makes the POLLUX retractable louvred roof suitable for use throughout the year. The POLLUX louvred canopy offers exceptional freedom to create the ideal outdoor climate at any time of day — from a fully open roof to an intimate, sheltered terrace. The system can be seamlessly combined with other roofs from the CORNELS® Elite series and with CORNELS glass wall systems, enabling the creation of a complete garden room and a terrace designed for year-round use.

Available options include integrated LED lighting (white or RGB), all RAL colours, Somfy io control, and various surface finishes (matt, gloss or fine texture). A unique feature of CORNELS is the ability to combine different roof systems within a single canopy — for example, retractable louvres and tilting louvres side by side in one structure.
