Meet our Installer Hau!

Three words we'd use to describe Hau’s skillset would be
DETAIL ORIENTATED | COMMITTED | RELIABLE

A bit about Hau:

Q. What's your favourite/go-to tool?
My tool belt and drill.

Q. A standout project or proud moment?
Installing any of our Glazed Roofs, including one we completed recently in Havelock North - a beautiful statement gable roof which was complex and rewarding.

Q. Favourite part of the job?
Working with talented team mates and having a good relationship which makes the job easier, plus a few cheeky beers after work.

Hau is someone we can always rely on, and his contribution to the install team and our customers doesn’t go unnoticed.

We’ve rebuilt our website to make that first step easier!

More of our real Hawke’s Bay projects for inspiration, clearer options, and a better feel for what’s actually possible.

We've also made it clearer who we are - our fantastic in-house team who do us proud, the showroom, and the scale of what we can take on.

Whether it’s outdoor living, marine or auto upholstery, or something more custom - it’s all there to explore.

Have a look, get a few ideas, and see what might work for your place or project.

Our team had fun with this one!

Glazed roofs for the main patio and entryways on this home at Hospital Hill - providing cover while keeping the spaces light, open, and connected.

A simple intervention that extends the architecture, rather than competing with it.

This installation by our team at Douglas creates protection from the elements, while still allowing light to move through the spaces. The repeated steel frames extend the language of the home outward, defining each zone without adding visual weight.

Thank you to our clients for trusting us.

Meet our lead installer Dan!

Three words we'd use to describe Dan’s skillset would be
PROACTIVE | SHARP EYED | CALM

A bit about Dan:

Q. What's your favourite/go-to tool?
My laser measure - because the millimeters matter!

Q. A standout project or proud moment?
Portside apartments, we installed 3 Oztech Retractable Roofs, had them lifted up by a crane over the pool area, plus 40 Ziptrak screens on the apartments! Was great to work alongside the MCL Construction Ltd project managers at the site and fellow installers.

Q. Favourite part of the job?
What I enjoy about working at Douglas is the great variety of high-end products we get to install, also the great clients that look after us at smoko.

We’re so fortunate to have Dan and everything he brings to the team.

Last day of term → First day back. Sorted.

Thanks Mayfair Primary School, it was great to be part of this refresh.

Rather than replace, these pieces were repaired and reupholstered - extending their life and updating the space at the same time.

Now set up to support collaborative learning, with flexible layouts that adapt throughout the day.

Completed in that tight holiday window and ready for ākonga on day one.

At Douglas we make sure our commercial upholstery is hard-wearing, practical, and made to last - and we do it when we say we will.

Let us know if you have a commercial canvas need, and we can explore a solution.

You: "How awesome would it be if we could mirror the Harley's tank pattern on the seat stitching?"

Us: "Epic idea, we'd love to."

Featuring custom stitching and marine grade vinyl, selected in a 'carbon fibre' style for texture and contrast, this Harley left the workshop looking like a million bucks.

Follow our page for more content like this - including a post we are building at the moment with a bunch of custom motorbike seat work to whet the appetite.

And make sure you hit us up if you have a custom solution in mind for your own scenario.

Well hello retro! Weren't we lucky to have this beauty roll into the workshop recently.

Our customer's 1968 Anglo Caravan got some lovely finishing touches - including a custom stoneguard to protect the front while keeping that classic retro look intact, along with new internal bench seat squabs to freshen up the interior.

Something we pay close attention to is the textile and fittings. Here we used Pacific Blue marine vinyl to match the colour scheme, and fitted the stoneguard with an awning track and shock cord so it sits nice and snug when the owners are on the road.

This means practical protection, comfortable seating, and vintage style all in one - ready for plenty more adventures.

We love caravans old and new, and the team love coming up with solutions!

Check out the teamwork on this one! A custom Glazed Roof for an entryway, in opaque glazing and custom powder-coating, designed to work in with the existing brickwork.

We reckon it’s come up mint, what are your thoughts?

It's always good seeing this level of custom work come together.

Look what we can do for you with Sliding Panels!

This project features a compact louvre roof paired with a sliding panel system that runs smoothly along a track - creating a flexible, stylish solution for this spa space. The adjustable louvres can be tilted to virtually any angle, giving you full control over sun, shade, airflow, and privacy while still maintaining beautiful views from inside the spa.

It’s a great example of how Louvretec systems can be customised to suit your space and how you live. With a range of panel styles, configurations, and finishes available, our team can conjure up plenty of ways to design a solution that works perfectly for your outdoor area.
