Is glass suitable for terrace roofing?

In an age of disappearing green spaces in cities, more and more people are looking for a solution that allows them to enjoy the sunny weather on their own terms while still enjoying privacy. The perfect solution is a terrace or a balcony, which is now almost a mandatory feature of residential properties. A covered balcony or terrace allows you to ensure functionality whatever the prevailing weather conditions, as well as an attractive appearance.

How to cover a terrace or a balcony - the million-dollar question!

There are many solutions for covering a terrace - the cheapest, but also the least effective one is a canvas canopy. As an alternative, you may use a pergola, as well as a wooden terrace roofing. The durability of these solutions, however, depends on the materials used for their manufacture. An additional aspect that works against these solutions is the fact that they are not fully transparent, which means that they partially limit the access of light. Is there another, potentially more satisfying way to cover a terrace? Yes, there is! It is glazing made of tempered or laminated glass. What distinguishes glass from alternative solutions and in which cases can you benefit from the advantages it offers? The most important advantages of construction glass include

  • high durability, which is guaranteed by compliance with demanding standards and building regulations-  resulting in many years of use of glazed roofings,
  • excellent appearance resulting from the wide range of colours available and the options of glass processing, as well as the way in which it is installed,
  • ease of cleaning.

How to roof a terrace using glass and what are its other uses in this scope?

The glass roofing of a terrace is a task that should definitely be entrusted to specialists. This is primarily due to the fact that the correct installation of the glazing is crucial for the safe use of the glass roofing. We are mainly talking about the need for professional installation, because when choosing a glass roofing or terrace cover, the regulations oblige the person interested in such a solution to ensure that it is safe to use. One way of ensuring that these standards are met is to purchase tempered or laminated glass, which has been subjected to appropriate strength tests when it leaves the factory and leaves no doubt as to its properties and durability.

Terrace cladding is a solution of interest to private customers, investors, and designers, who are obliged to take their customers' ideas from their heads to paper and find solutions that meet their requirements.

How do you enclose a terrace, protecting it against the wind and shielding it from the rain?

Enclosing a terrace over its entire surface can be a challenge. However, if done professionally, it will effectively protect the terrace against wind, rain, snow, cold and even UV radiation. A great solution in this case is construction glass known as low e-glass. Thanks to its properties, it provides protection against heat loss and is an effective acoustic barrier, significantly reducing the inconvenience caused by noise in the immediate vicinity. In addition, thanks to its full transparency (unless it is tinted or covered with coatings that can change its colour on request), it provides access to light and allows you to enjoy the beautiful weather on sunny days. Owners of residential or commercial spaces located at high altitude are most often looking for ways to enclose the terrace against the wind. The high durability provided by construction glass makes it excellent not only for terrace roofing, but also for balcony railings.
