Ozroll talks Elipso Louvres: A long-life choice for patios, balconies and refurbs

Issue 105 November 2025

Outdoor rooms work when they’re comfortable year-round, and still look great after years in the weather, according to Ryan Charvetto, Ozroll Business Development Manager. “That’s the brief Elipso Louvres was built to meet. Designed for patios, balconies, alfresco kitchens and apartment terraces, Elipso gives you controllable shade, airflow and privacy with a clean, architectural look that holds up over time.”

“Elipso is made from Australian aluminium, and we moved to LocAl low-emissions aluminium ahead of the industry. Being first in our category to make that switch matters, especially for councils, builders and body corporates leaning into low-emission compliance on upgrades and refurbishments. It keeps procurement simple through local, traceable supply and helps projects meet emerging ESG requirements without the headaches.

“Elipso’s slim elliptical blades and tidy brackets were developed around the realities of outdoor enclosures:

  • Patios and alfresco: Control glare and heat without killing the breeze.
  • Balconies and terraces: Improve privacy and comfort while staying strata-friendly.
  • Apartment retrofits: Lightweight, repeatable fixing that suits tight access and staged installs.
  • Weather-tolerant detailing: Concealed fixings, robust coatings, and components chosen for years of exposure.

“Refurbs demand a product that looks right on day one and still looks right in year 20,” Charvetto said. “That’s our lane, and why Elipso has become a leading choice for refurbishment projects. We regularly replace failing systems that should never have needed replacing so soon. With Elipso, the expectation is different: install once, enjoy for decades.”

What drives longevity:

  • Material discipline: Australian aluminium with LocAl input and premium powder-coat finishes.
  • Hardware that lasts: Corrosion-aware brackets and fixings chosen for coastal and urban environments.
  • Serviceable design: Access points and repeatable centres that make future maintenance straightforward.

Why specifiers and bodies corporate say “yes”:

  • Compliance confidence: Local alloy, documented provenance and a clean data trail help tick low-emission and procurement boxes on refurb and upgrade programmes.
  • Visual consistency: Slim profiles and consistent sightlines keep multi-dwelling projects neat across elevations and levels.
  • Installation practicality: Fast, tidy installs with minimal disruption to occupants.

“Elipso Louvres bring together Australian aluminium, LocAl low-emissions credibility, and detailing that’s purpose-built for patios, balconies and refurbishments. That combination has opened doors to commercial-grade upgrades and strata projects hungry for low-emission builds and compliance, without compromising how the space feels to live in.

“We’re confident enough to say this: choose Elipso and you’re not planning a replacement in five or 10 years. You’re planning not to replace it. That’s the real value – beautiful, usable outdoor rooms today, and a system that still looks the part in 20 years’ time.”
