Cold winter gardens

Everything has a beginning. A cold winter garden with sliding doors is usually made from a simple roof . This also subsequently determines the width, depth, height and color of the cold winter garden. The choice of the right type of roof (polycarbonate, clear glass, frosted glass) should always be carefully considered at this stage.

Especially in a cold winter garden, the issue of sun protection should be well thought out. Awnings are generally divided into under-glass awnings, roof-mounted awnings and vertical awnings.

An under-glass awning is the most common variant. This is protected from the weather and therefore very easy to maintain. It protects you from high sun. For conservatories, the option of a roof-mounted awning is often considered. It is not possible to make a general statement about which variant is suitable for you without assessing the conditions on site. In order to achieve the best result, we recommend that you seek detailed advice from our customer service.

A vertical awning offers optimal sun protection when the sun is low. It also reliably prevents curious neighbors from looking at you, while the breathable material ensures that air is exchanged. During the on-site consultation, our sales representative will analyze the situation in order to suggest the best possible option for you.

The heart of a cold winter garden are all-glass sliding elements. These are made of robust 10 mm toughened safety glass (ESG) and can be opened in any direction. All-glass sliding elements are usually made of clear glass.

Since experience has shown that side rain can fall diagonally onto the terrace at a height of up to 1 meter, sliding doors are essential for a completely dry surface. The sliding walls transform your terrace roof into a feel-good oasis and unfold the full potential of the newly created space.

The fixed element is one of the two main extensions of the patio roof to the cold winter garden and is usually located on the sides of a winter garden. A fixed element can serve as privacy and weather protection.

A distinction is made between wedge elements, also known as gable triangles, and side walls made of glass. A wedge element is used to compensate for the slope of the roof in order to install sliding doors underneath. A side wall is usually used to separate the house from the neighbors or as a privacy screen.

Fixed elements made of frosted glass are ideal for privacy and sun protection. The frosted glass also makes them very easy to maintain.

In contrast, fixed elements made of clear glass offer a lot of light and a view of the surroundings. The decision usually depends on the factors present on site.
