JY280 is the retractable-roof model for villas, restaurant courtyards and hospitality spaces that prioritize a wide open-sky mode. Its blades fold toward a planned stacking zone rather than rotating in place like JY160–JY250.
Best for
- Villa terraces prioritizing open sky
- Restaurant courtyards with flexible roof coverage
- Hospitality lounges and resort areas
- Projects comparing retractable and rotating-louver experiences

Roof & Structure
Retracting blades create a stacking zone and a different operating path from rotating-louver roofs. Guide alignment, drive access, drainage, the folded-roof position and safe-weather operation must be coordinated without obstructing guest circulation or service access.
JY280 uses a motorized folding-roof drive with defined open and close controls. The approved configuration records drive access, override, sensors, synchronization and safe-weather operation.
Compatible accessories
- Integrated LED lighting outside the stacking path
- ZIP screens on compatible elevations
- Selected glass enclosure
- Project finish and grouped controls
Compatibility depends on the selected model, finished opening and approved elevation. Review all pergola accessories, ZIP screens and sliding or folding glass.
Choose JY280 when
JY250 is the closest heavy commercial alternative when rotating louvers are preferred.
- The project prioritizes a wide open-sky mode
- A retractable folding roof suits the hospitality or residential operating concept
- The stacking zone, drive access and safe-weather operation can be planned early
- Choose JY180 or JY220 when adjustable louver angle is more important than roof retraction
- Review JY250 when the project needs a large rotating-louver bay instead of a folding roof
Compare models
| Model / route | Roof movement | Selection context |
|---|---|---|
| JY180 / JY220 / JY250 | Louvers rotate in place | Fine shade angle and ventilation control |
| JY280 | Roof blades fold and retract | Wider open-sky condition |
Project planning & installation notes
JY280 is intended for villa terrace, restaurant courtyard, hospitality lounge, resort outdoor area, flexible sunlight project. Set posts, roof zones and accessory openings around circulation, doors, furniture and service access.
Before production, coordinate the stacking direction, drainage discharge, power isolation, drive access, foundations, anchors and local approvals.
Common questions
How large can one JY280 module be?+
Module dimensions are established from the stacking geometry, support conditions and approved project specification.
What is the difference between JY280 and rotating-louver systems?+
JY280 folds and retracts the roof; JY160–JY250 keep louvers over the opening and rotate them.
Which LUCY model has a retractable roof?+
JY280 is the retractable folding-roof reference; JY160-JY250 use louvers that rotate in place.
