Glass enclosures are one of our most popular projects in recent years. These are glass curtains without aluminum profiles that you can install on your
terrace, porch, or garden, in addition to covering your attic and enjoying your space even more. One of the factors that most attracts our attention is their aesthetic finish. In addition to the modernity that glass provides, we also benefit from the enormous amount of light it will bring into our rooms. In addition to the aesthetic factor, we must also add the energy savings it offers. Despite what it may seem, it is a very energy-efficient system. It is ideal for balconies and attics because it works as an enclosure against the cold, heat, wind, and humidity of winter. It is a completely closed system and is also impervious to rain and wind . A very safe glass pane is frequently used in the event of breakage, as it shatters into small pieces, avoiding risks to people, and is extremely resistant thanks to a heat treatment that protects it from impacts.
Glass enclosures have many advantages for enjoying your terraces and expanding their use throughout the year. Inclement Weather: If it’s very cold, hot, windy, or rainy, you won’t want to use the terrace at all . Having it acclimatized with a glass curtain enclosure is, of course, the best option. It allows us to enjoy an outdoor space year-round with the comforts of the interior of our home. Rainwater wouldn’t be a problem; we’d stay dry no matter how much water is falling . It’s also a pleasure to be able to stand in the rain, read a good book, or simply enjoy the moment without getting wet. Few things are more relaxing and conducive to reading than a rain shower . The wind won’t disturb our moment of peace and quiet either. We can be on our terrace without our work papers blowing away if we decide to work from home, or tablecloths and napkins flying away if we want to dine there and the wind suddenly picks up.
Noise. Often, the noise produced by vehicle traffic, hospitality, swimming pools, or sports courts in our community makes it unbearable to enjoy our terraces, and even our living rooms or bedrooms. At MK TOLDOS, glazing a terrace creates an air chamber, a closed space between the source of the noise and us, whether we are inside the home or on the terrace itself. It’s a truly effective solution to noise pollution that more and more users are implementing, allowing them to enjoy their privacy and their
terrace to the fullest.
Thermal insulation. A terrace enclosed with airtight glass walls not only insulates us from noise but is also ideal for insulating against cold and heat. The walls of your terrace won’t get damp in the rain or cool down as much in low temperatures, helping you create a more energy-efficient home. Glazing is a solution that allows you to harness the sun’s heat in winter to create a warm air chamber on your terrace, allowing you to keep your living room or bedroom at a better temperature when the sun has set. Similarly, you can create air currents by opening the vents as needed to ventilate your terrace’s facade on summer days.
Privacy: Enclosing your terrace is ideal for creating your own personal space in your home. Obviously, having an enclosed space provides more privacy from neighbors or passersby. A glass-enclosed terrace allows you to enjoy dinner, a gathering with friends, or even a good book, a cup of coffee, or some music to a greater extent.
Security: It’s clear that a glass-enclosed terrace offers greater security against intrusion than one without. It’s an added benefit that offers additional protection and security for our home.
Aesthetics and decoration: Conservatories are becoming more and more popular, and it’s wonderful to be able to enjoy your terrace with all its furniture and accessories all year round. When you have a conservatory, the furniture lasts much longer and is in better condition. This way, the decor can be of greater quality and quantity, allowing you to even decorate the walls with a picture, knowing it won’t fall or get wet. When we bought our home, we furnished the terrace like the rest of the house. However, the furniture deteriorates due to the rain that soaks and rots it, just as the sun burns and damages it. By creating this enclosed space, we can enjoy our furniture much longer; there’s greater protection and, of course, greater durability. If you’d like more information or advice, our advisory department will be happy to show you all the advantages of these installations.
