Wintergarden awnings

The air conditioner for glass constructions

Winter gardens, glass buildings, glass roofs, terrace glazings or huge glass facades are a popular method in architecture to provide a room with plenty of daylight, as well as for creating the borders between inside and outside more smoothly, to integrate the sky, the nature respectively the environment into the rooms and to make it possible to enjoy these rooms independently from climatic conditions.

You can stand behind glass no matter if in storm or rain without the need of getting dressed accordingly, in clear winter nights you can admire the clear starry sky without gloves or hat, you can take a pleasant bath in the first sun of spring and simultaneously experience the changing colours of the sky and the blossoming and flourishing of the flora at first hand.

No matter if you want to glaze a garden terrace, a roof terrace or a balcony or if you want to extend your living rooms with the help of a winter garden to win additional space, or to design a shop, a restaurant or a fitness center more attractively and profitably with glazed free spaces − you should consider appropriate sun protection systems as well. Due to the fact that glass is a perfect light and heat conductor it can quickly lead to an overheating of the interior in the warmer months. This results in the necessity to timely capture the strong light and heat radiation of the sun and to dose it in a way that the climate of the rooms stays comfortable.

A room’s most effective protection against heating up can be achieved by external sun protection systems, because like that the solar rays are already loosing their intensity before arriving the glass. However, the winter garden shadowing also has to be variable, because the sun shines varyingly strong according to daytime and season and it enters the room from different directions during the day.

Winter garden awnings can also be fixed subsequently to the glass construction of a winter garden or a roof glazing. With a large winter garden awning you can shadow the whole glass roof or you can combine several winter garden awnings in order to enable a more flexible light and heat regulation. The shape and size of a winter garden awning depends on the existent glass surface and its construction, the fixture can be done horizontally, vertically as well as in a sloping or arched way. However, in the least cases an all around sun protection is necessary. Sides that are glazed towards the east or north need less sun protection than glass surfaces facing south or west.

Due to the awning’s variable operation and functional quality of the fabric an individual climate regulation is possible in every glass building. Not only temperatures can be kept constantly under every climatic condition, also a pleasant and relaxing light design can be achieved by different colours and translucencies.
