The Original Retractable Roof
Our story began in the 1950s with architect David S. Miller who loved modern design. In 1958, he designed and built a Diamond Heights house’s center courtyard in San Francisco, CA, which included a fully automatic retractable roof. We at Rollamatic are still a family-run business today and have sustained David Miller’s passion for art and architecture. In the over 60 years since our company was founded, we have designed and manufactured over 2,400 retractable roof systems for installation around the world.
Over the years, we have kept it simple and still do just one thing: design and build retractable roof systems. Even though we’ve completed thousands of them, we continue to enjoy making each one unique. The outcomes are truly breathtaking when you introduce natural light, turn an open atrium into a year-round living space, or allow elegant rooftop access. What sets us apart in our customers’ eyes? — our robust engineering, which ensures trouble-free operation for decades. Rollamatic designs are devoid of chains, pulleys, and other parts that might impede performance. This approach explains why products installed in the 1960s have been operating reliably ever since. 60 years, 1 product, infinite possibilities.
“New energy-saving concepts must be developed and utilized with the same enthusiasm that has been applied to high technology in recent years.”
-Rollamatic founder David Miller in 1989
