Explore Makefast’s Louvre, Canvas, and Panel Sunroof Systems
In yacht design, every component must uphold the highest standards of functionality, durability, and aesthetics. A well-engineered sunroof system plays a crucial role in onboard comfort, offering natural ventilation, reliable weather protection, and seamless integration into the yacht’s structure. Makefast provides advanced sunroof systems tailored to meet the demanding requirements of the marine industry.
Louvre Sunroof System
Makefast’s Louvre Sunroof System, showcased on the Pearl 82, features a dual-function mechanism that enables both rotation and retraction of the louvres. This allows yacht owners to precisely control shade and airflow, seamlessly transitioning between full sun exposure, partial ventilation, or complete closure. The system enhances onboard comfort while optimizing energy efficiency.
Engineered with marine-grade 316 stainless steel tracks and available in aluminium or carbon fibre, the system offers exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity in harsh marine environments. The drive mechanism utilises stainless-steel cable drives and hydraulic actuators, providing low-friction operation for smooth, reliable performance over time.
Designed for large flybridge openings, the system integrates seamlessly into various yacht structures while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic. Soft-start and stop functionality ensures smooth and controlled movement, with both 12V and 24V power options available to suit different onboard electrical systems. With its adaptability and premium materials, the Louvre Sunroof System enhances both the functionality and visual appeal of any yacht.
Canvas Sunroof System
Makefast’s Canvas Sunroof System is built for high performance in demanding marine environments. Its IP65-rated electronics ensure protection against water ingress, salt exposure, and UV degradation, making it highly reliable in all weather conditions.
Every unit undergoes extensive cycle testing before dispatch, guaranteeing smooth operation and long-term durability. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, the system maintains structural integrity even under continuous exposure to saltwater and high humidity.
Advanced sealing and drainage mechanisms further enhance its resilience, preventing leaks and ensuring consistent operation. Whether manually operated or powered, the Canvas Sunroof System delivers effortless functionality while seamlessly integrating into the yacht’s overall design.
