Glass roof

The glass roof in the house will allocate a building from a row of unpretentious buildings, making it not only visually attractive, but also lighter and more comfortable.

Transparent roofs: their types

Glass roofs used to be used only in the construction of luxurious high-rise buildings, solid office buildings. Today, in private construction, you can often see a transparent roof. It is not necessary that it is completely made of glass. Add thus light in the hall, attic room, in the winter garden, above the terrace or balcony. The form of erection can be various: in the form of arches, domes, hemispheres or inclined planes. The latter option is simpler than the rest in the installation, but the load during precipitation can cause deformation. There is not so much precipitation on the dome or the hemisphere. The antiaircraft lamp is a universal device.

Panoramic glass roof - it is presentable and status, in addition, at your personal disposal will be a gorgeous observation deck. Unlike the anti-aircraft flashlight, the angle of the ramp of the panoramic construction is smaller, the glazing area is larger.

Features of translucent roofs

A house with a glass roof is a unique structure that requires cost. In the summer, this part will be very warm, and the room will turn into a greenhouse. For this, it is worth considering how to reduce the light flux if necessary. Over time, dust accumulates on the glass, that is, when designing it is necessary to take into account access to the external surface. It may contain opening flaps. The material must be strong and of good quality. It is not overlapped, which means that the seams must be sealed so that no precipitation will penetrate through them.

Metal tile and slate is easy to install and insulate, which can not be said about the glass roof of the veranda, for example. For this purpose, special double-glazed windows are installed, where the profiles are made of steel (overlapping a large quadrature, but have an impressive weight), aluminum (base light and strong, but heat conductive), combinations of wood and aluminum (not suitable for greenhouses).

With proper design and competent installation, you will not have problems with the glass roof. Most often, glass "fit" in high-tech , minimalism, loft .
