Slim Sight Lines Thanks To Filigree Profiles

What is a Wintergarden? A thermally insulated glazed roof structure that can be enjoyed all year round. All of Solarlux’s sliding, bifolding and fixed glazing is compatible with the structure so whatever your needs, Solarlux has the solution. There is no better way to bring the outdoors, indoors without the ned for an internal door between the existing and new space.

A Wintergarden can be designed to suit any style of property or commercial space. Ventilation, heating and lighting options can all be incorporated and automated for extra comfort.

All products are available in any RAL colour. There are 30 standard RAL colours to choose from in either a gloss or matt finish, or you can upgrade to a non-standard finish, such as anodised.

System Description

Design Features

• Roof system with full thermal insulation. Tested and certified in accordance with EN ISO 10077.
• The powder-coated and rounded profiles join together to form a harmonic unit. The design has a timeless elegance.
• Roof pitches from 5° to 45° available. Wall joint allows for simple installation. Bearings allow the hinge profile to fit into the hinge of the roof pitch.
• Designed for roof glazing thicknesses of 28 to 44 mm with glass support on 4 sides. Pane recess, glazing rebate ventilation and glazing rebate drainage comply with glass industry requirements.
• The arris beams have a built-in cover and are connected to the hinge profile without any visible screws, allowing all kinds of customised designs.
• The comprehensive range of profiles means you can always find the right option to suit the size and structural requirements of your wintergarden. Plug-in chambers in the load-bearing profiles offer scope for steel reinforcement. This facilitates large roof constructions and maximum opening widths and spans.

Design Features

• The elements are installed with enough clearance from the pillars and gutter to allow them to expand without any problem when the temperature fluctuates. The space is filled using backer rod or compound foam.
• The elements are installed against the element rebates, with the sufficient clearance from the pillars and eaves. This compensates for construction and manufacturing discrepancies.
• The thermally insulated pillars with exterior element rebates fit all element depths between 50 and 80 mm, and are installed without any visible screws. Glass moulding around the pillars and eaves provides the necessary interior support.
• The available side rafters guarantee the same thermal insulation under the rafters as throughout the profile system, without any additional beams. The 24 mm exterior rebate with additional seal profile ensures that the elements can be installed without any problem, even under the side rafters. Flat aluminium material provides the interior support for the elements under the side rafters.
• The roof system has a horizontal gutter for drainage, which runs into a downpipe masked by a cover. The mid rail that divides the glass is form-fitted between the rafters, and can transfer the load from the panes to them without any problem. The cascading drainage design ensure optimum drainage of any condensation that forms around the mid rail and wall rail.
• The gutter joints are force-fitted with the gutter connectors for connections that fit perfectly at any angle.
• Wintergarden ventilation via high-quality manual or electric skylights and/or dosing or roll ventilator with automatic control system, depending on customer requirements.
• The wintergarden can be lit elegantly using spotlight profiles clipped on under the roof rafters, with spotlights and transformers pre-installed at the factory.
• Structural analysis tables are available for construction and calculation purposes during the design phase. Furthermore, Property-specific structural analyses for the system are created shortly before order fulfilment.

Design Features

• The wintergarden roof construction is completely pre-fabricated before delivery; consequently, this high degree of pre-fabrication significantly reduces the installation time. Moreover, the wintergarden can be installed immediately on site without any further manufacturing work. Additionally, all the end pieces are pre-fitted, the downpipe – where applicable – is pre-drilled. Furthermore,the rafter connections are pre-drilled with screws/connectors inserted in the profiles, and all the ventilation holes are also pre-drilled. The adjustable foot brackets make it easy to fine-tune the alignment of the roof construction.
• The sophisticated roof system does not require silicone insulation.
• The sturdy dimensions of the elements can be found in the drawings provided with the order confirmation. These can be used to manufacture the elements and ensure that they are ready when the time comes to deliver the roof construction. The glass dimensions are supplied with the order confirmation for monopitch roofs, and calculated and provided approx. 1 week before shipping for all other roof types. This means that the entire wintergarden – roof construction, glazing and elements – can be installed in one go. This reduces installation costs and keeps the end customer satisfied.
• Solarlux recommends using the following vertical elements: Ecoline, Highline and SL 82.
