Before you choose

Thermally broken or standard aluminium: not the same thing

It all comes down to how you want to use the space. If it is going to be an extra room, you need a thermal break. If you only want to cover an area, a standard (non-insulated) system is enough.

Profile	Thermally broken aluminium	Aluminium without a thermal break
Use	An extra room in your home, usable all year round	Covering an area: utility room, large terrace or porch
Comfort	Performs like the rest of the house: no condensation, no "sweating", warm in winter and cool in summer	Not designed to match the indoor temperature
Roof	Insulated sandwich panel (at least 50 mm, usually 50 to 80 mm), quiet when it rains	Varies with the use
Examples	A nursery on a terrace, a living room, an English-style kitchen	Utility rooms, terraces and porches

How it works

What is a thermal break?

The aluminium profile looks the same, but inside it carries an insulating strip that separates the inner face from the outer one.

Because the aluminium no longer carries the outside temperature indoors, there is no thermal shock between the two faces. That is why the glass room does not condense or drip, and the room stays warm in winter and cool in summer.

Without thermal break

The aluminium carries the cold indoors: the inner face cools down and water appears.

With thermal break

The insulating strip stops the cold: the inner face stays mild and dry.

Does your community not allow frames?

A glass curtain is an enclosure too. It has no vertical frames, so it works where the residents’ association does not allow frames on the facade. With solar control glass, it cuts down a lot of the heat coming in.

How we work

From the idea to your new room

1
Technical survey
On penthouses and terraces we check for water leaks, the load the structure can take and the base the enclosure will sit on.
2
Drawings
We design the enclosure to measure and show you the drawings before anything is made.
3
Base or footing, if needed
In a garden we prepare a concrete footing and the supporting structure, always planned in advance.
4
Dry assembly
It is a lightweight structure assembled dry, by a team of professional installers.
5
Finishing
Cleaning, finishing touches and adjustment of every sash, until it is ready to use.

The manager is on site at every job: he directs the assembly and takes care of the finishing himself.

What about permits?

A glass room or enclosure is a lightweight structure assembled dry. Every town hall and every community has its own rules, so before we start we advise you on the paperwork your particular case needs.

Enclosure FAQs

What is the difference between a thermally broken and a standard enclosure?

A thermally broken enclosure uses aluminium profiles with a thermal break and an insulated panel roof, so it works as an extra room: it does not condense and it holds the temperature. A standard enclosure covers an area, such as a utility room or a porch, without aiming to match the temperature of the rest of the house.

Will my community let me enclose my terrace?

It depends on the rules of each residents’ association. If frames are not allowed on the facade, a glass curtain is usually the answer because it has no vertical frames. We help you assess your case before we start.

Do I need a permit for an enclosure?

An enclosure is a lightweight structure assembled dry, but every town hall has its own rules. Before we start we advise you on the paperwork your particular case needs.

Is the quote free?
