Glazing of terraces

Glass terraces

‍

The terrace is an extension, the main purpose of which is rest. Open from all sides, it allows you to enjoy nature while staying in the comfort of your home. However, to protect yourself from wind and rain and continue using the terrace with the onset of cold weather, it is worth paying attention to the glazing. The panoramic glazing of the terraces allows the erection of partitions made of frameless glass, which, if desired, can completely cover the terrace or open partially or completely. This approach ensures an unchanging appearance of the terrace in summer and allows you to enjoy it even in the colder months.

Types of opening terraces

The variety of options for opening terraces allows you to choose the optimal solution for any conditions and budget. Available options include sliding systems, “accordions”, as well as folding parking systems. According to the type of fastening, the systems are divided into suspended, supporting on relays (if it is not possible to load the roof of the terrace), and mixed, withstanding high wind loads. Guillotine-type systems change the principle of opening to vertical, transforming a closed terrace into an open-air fenced terrace.

Materials and safety

For panoramic glazing of terraces, tempered glass is most often used. It provides frameless viewing, reliability and durability. Some systems allow the use of double-glazed windows, which turns the terrace almost into a winter garden, with fewer frames than in traditional window systems. In summer, such a terrace remains open without unnecessary profiles. Sunscreen films reduce exposure to ultraviolet light, and the use of triplex increases protection against penetration and reduces the risk of injury when breaking glass.

Advantages of terraces with glazing:

‍

1. Frameless panoramic view: Unlike traditional window designs, tempered glass terrace glazing keeps the view from the terrace, gazebo, veranda, balcony or even porch in pristine beauty.

‍

2. Expansion of functionality:Glazing allows you to extend the use of the terrace in bad weather or even in frost, subject to additional heating. The glazed terrace can serve as an additional room, and on the balconies glazing significantly increases their attractiveness.

3. Reliability and safety: The ease of maintenance and the minimum number of frames ensure a durable and attractive appearance of the structures. A glazed terrace adds protection to your property from foreign penetration and adverse weather conditions.
