Apollo Louvre Systems · NZ + International

Two core louvre pathways. One clear decision.

Choose CADARN for Apollo's core modular aluminium louvre kitset product. Choose ARKEN when the project needs bespoke architectural manufacture, wider spans, fewer posts, retracting louvres, linked bays or deeper enclosure integration.

Separate release pathway · New Zealand

VARDHUS sits outside the two core louvre pathways.

VARDHUS covers standardised New Zealand-release pergolas and outdoor structures, including manual and motorised louvred models. It remains separate from CADARN and ARKEN because it follows the Apollo Coming Soon → Pre-Order Open → Production Confirmed release programme.

Choose by project logic

CADARN and ARKEN serve different project pathways.

01

Start with the supply pathway

CADARN is the core modular kitset pathway. ARKEN is the bespoke project-manufactured architectural pathway.

02

Decide how open the roof must become

CADARN provides the repeatable adjustable-louvre kitset solution. ARKEN adds premium architectural pathways including physically retracting open-sky louvres.

03

Plan enclosure early

CADARN supports a defined modular accessory package. ARKEN is intended for deeper project coordination around glass, screens, linked bays and site-specific architecture.

04

Confirm local works separately

Apollo supplies the system package. Foundations, installation, local engineering, electrical work, drainage discharge and approvals remain project-specific.

Not sure which louvre pathway fits?

Send the project dimensions, location, site images and intended use. We’ll route the brief to CADARN or ARKEN without forcing a product too early.
