Outdoor Room
PolyGlaze can help create an elegant and stylish, glass appearance for your client’s outdoor living space, enabling their family and friends to safely enjoy the New Zealand outdoor lifestyle. Manufactured from an advanced polymer, polycarbonate has optical and physical properties that cannot be matched by other materials, allowing PolyGlaze to be used for either roofing or as a screen.
PolyGlaze is lightweight and strong, simple and cost effective to install. PolyGlaze can be easily installed directly on top of existing rafters spaced at 600mm centres to give outstanding and unobstructed clear views of the sky above.
Available in Clear and Grey tint, with lengths of 2m – 6m, PolyGlaze offers a high level of UV protection, blocking out 99.9% of harmful UV rays that cause sunburn and skin damage. It also has an impressive high-impact strength of up to 150 times that of tempered glass, preventing damage by hail. Stable at temperatures from -40° to +110°, it will not distort or soften in heat; however, it is advised to store Solasafe sheets under cover prior to installation.
Typical applications include:
• Pergolas, patios and enclosures.
• Awnings and canopies.
• Carports, cafes, restaurants, and lightweight commercial applications.
Clear sheets transmit 90% of light; in cooler temperatures clear sheeting allows good heat transmission, whilst in hotter temperatures, tinted sheets reduce transmitted heat as well as minimising glare. Before commencing building, visit the PolyGlaze website to download further specification and installation guides.

Permeable Pavers:
Wai Pave permeable pavers offer an exciting new solution when it comes to preserving the environment, managing storm water, and maintaining natural cycles.
Wai Pavers are manufactured from 97% recycled porcelain and 3% new clay. As they’re bound together by heat and pressure, they don’t contain any glue, resin, or cement.
Wai Pavers are available in a wide range of sizes and colours to allow flexibility in design: from high traffic areas to patios and paths. All sizes are suitable for foot traffic with excellent anti-slip properties. Contact us to discuss vehicle traffic requirements.
Wai Pavers offer a number of advantages over other permeable solutions, such as:
Flexible design thanks to the range of sizes
.The colour is permanent thanks to its fired porcelain state and does not stain.
The pavers themselves hold 11L of water.• Less pressure on drains due to rainwater passing through at a rate of up to 660mm per hour with zero runoff.• Temperature reduction due to its ability to reduce surface heat by up to 10° or more.
