A flyover roof, sometimes referred to as an elevated or raised patio roof, is a distinctive architectural feature designed to enhance an outdoor living space. The flyover roof is mounted above the existing roofline using brackets and other supporting structures, creating a unique and functional addition to homes and outdoor patios.

Benefits of an insulated panels flyover roof


Along with a flyover roof enhancing the visual appeal of an outdoor space or patio area, it can also provide practical benefits including:


  • Improved airflow: The elevated design of a flyover roof promotes better ventilation, keeping the patio or deck area cooler and more comfortable, particularly in Summer.


  • Increased natural light: A higher roofline will keep the outdoor area bright and potentially allow natural light to still filter into the home.


  • Enhanced space: The additional height of a flyover roof creates a feeling of spaciousness, making the outdoor area ideal for alfresco dining.


  • Customisable designs: Flyover roofs can be tailored to match various architectural styles and personal preferences


  • Property value: A flyover roof increases the useable outdoor space, potentially adding to the value of a residential property.
