How It Works
Engineering the Open Sky
A Roof That Disappears
The OPEN SKY flat retractable system uses a Somfy iO wireless motor to slide aluminum blades open or closed in seconds. Choose 85Nm or 120Nm torque — controllable via smartphone, remote, or smart home.
Zero-Degree Waterproofing
Engineered with a perfectly flat profile and integrated perimeter gutters that channel rainwater into the columns. Waterproof under normal rainfall up to 0.3 in/h.
Warm Perimeter LED Lighting
Up to four ambient LED strips mount along the perimeter in Warm (3000K), Daylight (4000K), or Cool (6000K). Supports ON/OFF, dimmer, and full RGB operation.
Wireless Somfy Operation
Two belt-driven guides with cross fittings connect the blades for smooth, synchronised movement. No wiring visible — the motor lives inside the aluminum toothed shaft.
