A Glazed Terrace Becomes a Cozy Winter Garden
A glazed terrace is becoming increasingly popular in Estonia. And for good reason. Glazing helps reduce heat loss, outside noise, and increases the usable area of a home. Weather-resistant terrace glass systems create a cozy winter garden from a terrace during the cold season, where you can drink your morning coffee, enjoy extended winter evenings with a book, or have a nice family game night.
What are terrace glass systems?
Terrace glass systems are weather-resistant glass systems installed on terraces that are elegant architectural additions to any building. Terrace glass systems come in framed and frameless versions. Framed terrace glass systems are easy to install and suit almost any terrace. Frameless terrace glass systems provide a pleasant and open-air result, since there are no vertical frames that would obstruct the view from the terrace. Therefore, frameless terrace glass systems are particularly well-suited for terraces that offer panoramic views of the sea, forest, or other beautiful landscape.
A glazed terrace increases a home's selling price. Selling a home is easier with terrace glass systems, as it significantly increases the living space and attractiveness of the property. A glazed terrace makes your terrace weather-resistant. It protects against rain, mosquitoes, and dust in summer, and from wind, snow, and frost in winter. At the same time, glazing protects the wooden surfaces of the terrace from damage and thus extends the terrace's lifespan.
Spring arrives earlier on a glazed terrace and winter comes later. Terrace glass systems turn an abandoned outdoor space into a comfortable winter garden during the winter season. A winter garden comes in two versions. An unheated winter garden allows you to enjoy the summer benefits of a terrace even during the cold season. A heated winter garden is like an extension of your home, which can be used as a year-round living room or relaxation space, where the glass roofs and walls create a cozy environment to unwind.
Electricity prices are an important keyword today for heating any type of building. An unheated winter garden is not particularly practical to use during frost, as heating it would be costly. When planning a heated winter garden, it is important to keep in mind that it also requires heating. However, both heated and unheated winter gardens reduce heat loss from your home and thus reduce heating costs.
A winter garden has endless potential uses. Besides a reading corner, guest room, or relaxation space, a winter garden can also be a grill or kitchen area. Thus, a winter garden is also suitable, for example, for expanding a restaurant or bar and extends the season for enjoying food or drinks outdoors by spring and fall. With imagination, a winter garden can become any restaurant, bar, or café's coziest spot.
