I was aware that this exists, but I still don’t see a real purpose for it.
We keep our under-roof awning extended almost continuously during the summer.
Thanks to that alone, our patio slabs don’t heat up as much, making it noticeably cooler on the terrace and also in the living room behind it.
I haven’t observed any heat accumulation in our setup.
Therefore, I doubt it would be any cooler if the slabs were movable.
The only situation where you need to develop a strategy to manage heat—either to remove it or prevent it from entering—is when you plan to permanently enclose the terrace on multiple sides. In that case, an overhead awning with rain and wind sensors is probably the more effective solution.
