The flexible folding roof with a convertible feel
terrace covering
The Med Room is a multi-purpose outdoor terrace cover or outdoor room, depending on specifications, but will offer near year-round weather protection in a variety of weather conditions including rain, wind and sunshine. You can have the option of either a sloping or a flat retractable roof systems, which can either be mounted against an existing wall structure, or as free standing units installed onto a suitable base. This gives you complete flexibility regarding where you can install this product in your home or business.
The main framework is constructed in aluminium, and the roof cover systems vary. The options include a simple retractable fabric where the rainwater will fall off the sides of a sloping cover, or a fully enclosed fabric system. This system channels rainwater into built-in guttering systems, and down to either one or several of the supporting legs to drain out at a lower level.
There are 3 basic types of retractable fabric roof systems for the Gibus Med Room, the Fly, the Plana and the Maki. The differences in the fabric provide different levels of protection depending on their use. Sizes of course will also determine one against another as the strength of each fabric is different too. The fabrics are either retracted in the roof in a concertina or folding fashion, which again has two further options and each of the fabric roof systems when fully retracted and open will end up protected underneath an aluminium fixed section to protect from the elements.

All open sides of the Med Room can be fitted with various options for enclosure, from vertical fabric or 'crystal' clear blinds, to sliding glass doors designed to help control the inside of the room in all weathers. When the roof is sloping, a 'trapezium' infill section will always be required to square off the top at the sides, which is to enable the installation of one of the retractable options. Fixed options are also available if access is not required.

All the Med Room systems are made to order. These med rooms can be any size, as the units will be coupled together to create a larger 'coupled' unit to cover vast areas if required. The retractable roof is always electrically operated, with most users preferring a remote control device for operation. These remotes come with options on the number of radio channels to control, with more than one 'field' in situations where there may be multiple units, heating systems, and lighting systems. The use of electric operation means far greater tension can be applied within the pulley system, ensuring the fabric roof cover is as taught as possible when closed. |

The Med Room provides easy extra outdoor living or entertaining space which can be used all year round (most models) and is a fabulous space to use in the more unpredictable weeks during Spring and Autumn in the UK. You start an outdoor party or barbeque and the clouds come in during the day, no problem just close in some or all of the room to protect against the wind and rain and carry on.
With the Med Room as the perfect space to promote outdoor living, you can add a variety of accessories to aid in cooler weather, or when you want to make the most of the evening. This includes heating and lighting systems, but also optional side panels which can be pulled across to protect yourself against unwanted breezes or rain.
Another fabulous product to compliment the Med Room range is the Med Twist. Using the same aluminium framework structure and options of the Med Room this is a system offering aluminium fins covering the roof all of which will turn through 130 degrees of movement to open up to the sky and also provide shade when tilted using the electric remote controlled motor drive system. Again this system has the options of internal lighting and heating and infills to the sides and front as required.
