At Fresco Shades, we’re dedicated to delivering outdoor living solutions that not only look stunning but also stand the test of time. One of the key components of our canopies is our premium membrane PVC roofing—a sleek, high-performance material designed to enhance your outdoor space in every season.
Whether you’re building an inviting outdoor space for your family or adding all-weather protection to a commercial site, our roofing solution delivers on every front — durability, comfort, light, and low maintenance.
Backed by a 10-Year Guarantee
Peace of mind comes standard with every Fresco Shades canopy. Our roofing membrane is backed by a 10-year guarantee, ensuring long-term durability and performance. It is 100% waterproof and designed to resist mould, mildew, and lichen, so with regular cleaning your canopy will look great and perform brilliantly for years to come—without the unsightly green patches or the need for harsh cleaning chemicals.
Superior Shade Without Sacrificing Light
Our membrane roof offers solar protection, blocking harsh radiant heat and 99% UV from the sun, giving you welcome shade relief on hot days. You still get to enjoy ambient light, so the spaces beneath and adjacent to the canopy won’t feel dark or gloom. Following installation, customers often happily mention they haven’t detected light reduction in the house.
Built to Last – Flexible and Tough
The PVC membrane used is a specialised architectural product with proven longevity. Thanks to the patented Precontraint technology and technical characteristics of the fabric the member does not tear or stretch and durably resists UV meaning it stays resilient and crack-free, even after years of sun and rain.
The membrane is stretched tightly over the frame like a drum skin, which means it won’t loosen in summer or tighten winter—no warping, sagging, or creaking. The sound under the canopy during heavy rain or hail is quieter than noticed from a typical hard roof.
Low Maintenance
The unique satin smooth finish ensures easy maintenance, along with reinforced dirt resistance, the Fresco roof system is a breeze to keep clean.
Roof debris like bird droppings will wash off in heavy rain and because it’s not a hard surface, you won’t get that build-up of grime or mould often seen on traditional roofing materials.
Commercial-Grade Strength for Everyday Use
This isn’t just a residential-grade material—it’s the same membrane used at The Cloud in Auckland as well as airports and sports hubs. Designed to handle the demands of commercial use, it boasts a high tensile strength and meets New Zealand Building Code 3604, ensuring it can stand up to high wind zones and harsh weather conditions.
