Glass Room: An Extra Room for Your Home

A glass room, also called a conservatory (véranda in French), is a glazed, roofed enclosure that turns a terrace, a penthouse or part of the garden into an extra room of the house. What sets it apart from a simple enclosure is that it is designed to be lived in all year: thermally broken profiles, insulated glazing and an insulated roof.

Aluminium conducts temperature very well. In a thermally broken profile, an insulating strip separates the inside face from the outside one, so the cold or heat outside does not travel through the frame.

There is no thermal shock, the frames do not condense in winter and the room keeps its temperature like the rest of the house. For a glass room you will live in, it is essential.

A standard enclosure uses aluminium profiles without a thermal break. It protects from wind, rain and dust and is a good way to cover a utility area, a porch or a large terrace, but it does not aim to match the indoor temperature.

A glass room does: with insulated profiles, insulated glazing and an insulated roof, it behaves like another room of the house.

No. Our glass room roofs are insulated sandwich panels, usually 50 to 80 mm thick, which dampen the sound of rain, nothing like the drumming of metal sheet or polycarbonate.

They also keep out the summer sun and the winter cold.

Often, yes, but always after a technical survey. We check for possible water leaks, the load the slab will carry and the base for the enclosure.

If the building has a community of owners, their approval is needed too. With that information we tell you clearly what can be done and how.

Yes. In a garden, a concrete footing and a steel frame are prepared where needed, and the glass room is assembled on top, with drawings and a schedule.

It is a way to gain a new room open to the greenery and usable in any weather.

A glass room is a lightweight structure assembled dry, but what each town hall requires depends on the municipality and the specific case. We advise you on the procedure your case requires and provide the project's technical documentation.

Tecnisun is a two-person family business. The manager is involved in the study of every project and is on site for every job, leading the assembly with a team of professional fitters we work with regularly and personally taking care of the finishing touches.

Every glass room is a made-to-measure project: size, base, roof, openings, glazing and finishes change the result completely, so we do not publish indicative prices. We prepare a tailored quote: the online quote is free and without obligation with your photos and measurements, and a technical home visit has a cost, which we tell you before booking it.
