Frequently Asked Questions
• High-tensile 6061-T6 structural-grade aluminium
• Eurolite 3™ 3mm polycarbonatesheet
• 316 stainless steel fasteners
• Extremely strong (our 6061-T6 alloy allows smaller rafter profiles and wider spans compared to steel or timber)
• Lightweight (low weight stress on your house and deck)
• Naturally corrosion resistant (suitable for New Zealand coastal areas)
• Minimal deflection (very rigid so doesn’t sag under its own weight)
• Infinitely recyclable (aluminium is completely circular with no compromise in material integrity)
• 99% UVA + UVB protection (keeps you and your property safe from the sun's harmful rays)
• Light and strong (250 x stronger than glass and 30x stronger than acrylic plastics)
• Flexible (absorbs and dissipates thermal stress from the structure so Flexiroof is quiet with changes in temperature)
• UV protected (stays clear and durable in both direct and reflected sunlight)
Flexiroof engineering is built around our patented Thermassist technology. It combines high performance materials engineered to create a quiet, sleek and durable shelter, precision engineered to perform year after year.
Thermassist tech combines:
• Ultimate structural strength ( rigid roof plane braces the entire structure)
• Suitable across all of New Zealand (single design that reliably handles all environments)
• Excellent thermal stress management (no pops or cracks with changes in temperature
• Sophisticated water management (utilises gravity to naturally pull water away from joins)
• High performance materials (6061-T6 aluminium, 99% UVA + UVB blocking polycarbonate sheet, 316 stainless steel fasteners)
Flexiroof handles high winds with ease: it is rated for New Zealand high wind zones (NZS3604:2011). This is thanks to its excellent materials and engineering:
• High-tensile 6061-T6 aluminium structure with internal bracing ribs (extremely strong and doesn’t bend under pressure)
• Impact-resistant 3mm polycarbonate sheet (flexible, lightweight and very strong)
• Continuous connection between polycarbonate sheet and rafters (sheet is firmly clamped the entire length of the rafter)
• Lateral rigidity (the roof behaves as a single rigid plate, helping keep the Flexiroof structure straight and strong in high winds)
• Installed by expert Flexiroof agents (installed correctly and securely)
Flexiroof is engineered for the New Zealand elements, making it compatible with alpine environments like Queenstown and Wanaka. Flexiroof is rated for 1.0 kPa snowloads, meaning it can handle 100kg of load per m².
The Flexiroof system uses 6061-T6 aluminium, polycarbonate sheet and stainless steel fasteners – all inherently very corrosion resistant. This makes Flexiroof suitable for New Zealand’s coastal environments.
