SolarSpan Patios
Our SolarSpan insulated patios combine Australian-made BlueScope Steel with expanded polystyrene cores for superior thermal efficiency. These cyclone-rated structures reduce heat transfer by 40% while maintaining structural integrity during extreme weather events. The integrated design eliminates traditional rafters, cutting installation time by 30% compared to conventional systems. Available in 22 Colorbond shades, each patio includes a 10-year manufacturer warranty and noise-reducing properties that lower rainfall sound transmission by 65%. Ideal for creating comfortable outdoor living spaces in Cairns' tropical climate.
Cyclone Proofing
Specialised cyclone-proofing solutions engineered to meet Queensland's stringent building codes. Our systems feature reinforced aluminium framing with 24-gauge steel bracing, impact-resistant polycarbonate panels, and hurricane-rated fastening systems. All installations undergo third-party engineering certification for wind resistance up to Category 5 cyclones. We incorporate integrated drainage channels and vibration-dampening components to ensure structural integrity during extreme weather events while maintaining aesthetic appeal through custom colour matching options.
Timber Lattice
Handcrafted timber lattice panels using sustainably sourced Queensland hardwoods. Our 35mm x 35mm profile offers 25% greater structural rigidity compared to standard lattice systems. Available in 12 standard patterns with custom design options, these screens provide 85% UV protection while maintaining airflow. The kiln-dried timber undergoes pressure-treated preservation to AS1604 standards, ensuring 15+ year lifespan in tropical environments. Ideal for privacy screening, pergola infills, and decorative fencing applications.
Aluminium Gates
Custom-designed aluminium gates featuring 6mm thick powder-coated profiles with marine-grade corrosion resistance. Available as manual swing gates with self-closing hinges or automated systems with remote access control. Our security models incorporate 12mm steel reinforcement inserts and anti-drill protection plates. All gates meet Australian Standard AS5039 for pool fencing compliance when configured with integrated child-safe latching mechanisms and restricted opening angles.
Louver Systems
Precision-engineered louver systems with 0-170 angle adjustment for optimal light and airflow control. Constructed from 2mm aluminium slats with electrostatic powder coating, these systems maintain operational functionality for 20,000+ opening cycles. Available in manual crank or motorised versions with smart home integration, our louvres achieve 92% rain deflection efficiency at 45 tilt. Ideal for patios, alfresco areas, and commercial facades requiring climate-adaptive shading solutions.

Bit late with this review as installation was 2yrs ago, however John and his team did a first rate job ( 28sm patio.+ front entrance roof extension + solar powered driveway entrance gate.) All work completed on time and on budget, all mess cleaned up and most importantly all 3 structures are working perfectly with no issues.
John took the time to measure and check all specs and kept us up to date on progress through the whole process. Could not recommend A&B Lattice high enough. Have undertaken many such "add on" projects in the past and John and team have been the best by far.
