Fresh air in the summer, warmth in the winter, light all year round.
What is a Wintergarden?
"Wintergarden" is the German name for an insulated glass extension which can be used to create a stand-alone room, or to extend an existing room.
It is a contemporary aluminium or timber/aluminium system which brings light and extra space into your home. It's high thermal efficiency means you can use your living space all year round, while the use of bi-folding doors or sliding doors brings you closer to nature.
Heat Insulated
A Solarlux Wintergarden glass extension has high levels of thermal efficiency, with low U-values, which allow it to be used all year round and become part of your everyday living space, even in the coldest weather. The integrated bifolding or sliding doors allow you to open up your space in warm weather and help it to stay cool. There are also optional ventilation and shading systems including powered and climate-controlled options.
Wintergarden glass extensions are custom-built in Germany and can be made to a wide variety of shapes, sizes and configurations.
These are just some of the ways you can specify your wintergarden.
Powered opening panels in the roof create ventilation at the push of a button.
Even optimally heat-insulated glass extensions can become too warm in strong sunshine. High-quality shade systems for the Wintergarden provide the solution. Power-operated awnings, which catch the sun's rays before they hit the glass surfaces, provide effective exterior shade. Interior shade systems, such as roller and pleated blinds and canopies, are also available.
Wind and temperature sensors automatically control the shade system.
Harsh, unpleasant weather really brings out the value of the protected comfort of your Wintergarden, and cosy hours spent overlooking the snow-covered garden are a delight. Surprisingly little heating energy is required to create comfortable temperatures, even on cold days. Fireplaces and tiled stoves, as well as underfloor heating, radiators and underfloor convection systems can easily be integrated into the glass extension.
Well-positioned light sources create a cosy ambience. Lightstrips with integrated low-voltage lights, fitted under the individual rafters, are a subtle yet effective solution. A range of spotlights, halogen lights and star spotlights, all equipped with dimmable transformers, are available.
Automatic controls offer maximum convenience: thanks to a reliable, highly sensitive automation module — not only the ventilation but also the shade and lighting can be automatically controlled.
