Können mir Leute, die das gemacht haben, mir Feedback dazu geben?
Ich weiß, es ist das moderne Konservatorium Bla Bla Bla.
Ich habe vor, ein 10 x 10 Glasraum außerhalb meiner Doppeltür hinzuzufügen. Planen Sie nicht, die luftdicht zu verlieren. Seien Sie einfach in der Lage, beide Türen zu öffnen und einen Innenbereich im Freien zu haben.

Boom is back lads
You know what they say?
Would settle for a dish with some logs in it
A builder these days for that is going to charge crazy money. Bet you get €80k quotes
Recession indicator, sell sell sell

I like it but If I were you I’d just do a big pergola with firepit with French doors opening from the house out to it. The amount of actual summer weather we get wouldn’t justify the cost of that room but that’s just me.
I was reading that King Charles of England put one of these into Buckingham Palace recently. He filled it full of old expensive chairs, but the glass cracked, let in the rain and ruined them all.
I guess he never heard that people in glass houses shouldn’t stow thrones.
builders seeing requests like these
Dermot Bannon would have some horn looking at that.
Know someone who did this and it’s fab. They have a small house but big garden so it really added to their house. Would love one myself but our garden is too small.
Think about where the sun is going to be at different times of day. If the roof is unshaded it’ll become an oven in direct sunlight.
I’m planning on doing something similar but my garden is east facing so in shade in the afternoon and evening
I’ll looking at doing something similar but it’s a pergola mounted to the house with glass sliding doors and a louvered roof with led lighting. There’s a few suppliers out there doing them. Can’t think of any names right now though. Might be worth looking into.
Nothing to add but wanted to get an idea of cost for same!
Looks nice.
Live in Germany where these are all the rage. I was sceptical at first.
Over here you have the basic version which is the glass roof and the corner posts and it’s otherwise complete open.
The pro version is the glass sides which open, most commonly sliding panels.
Either way you should consider a shade for underneath the glass as it will get hot under there.
Don’t know why they’re not more popular already in a country that has such rainy summers. Fire up the BBQ under the roof, happy days!
Nice to be able to close it to the wind and sideways rain but not an absolute necessity, I would say. Maybe have it built with the rails installed so you can add the sides later.
A 10x10ft area with the basic setup would probably cost 10-12k EUR here. With sides probably 20k.
Friends had something like this and ended up replacing the glass roof with a solid roof. Glass roof gets manky quickly and makes managing temperature in the room tricky
Also its the least used room in their house.
Bigger issue is the fire pit. Jaysus looks like something you’d get in a lego set with chairs sold separately lol. Get something bigger
Glass room is such a fancy new name. Conservatory just screams your ancient gran. Brilliant marketing.
Don’t do it. You are basically putting a greenhouse onto your house. It will bake in the Summer and Freeze in the winter. We had one (they were called conservatories back in the old days) and while it looked lovely it was uncomfortable most of the time. We eventually replaced it with a proper extension which is lovely and bright and comfortable.
This thing will piss your heat away
Unsolicited deck pics. Thanks.
Looked at it, cost insane and it adds zero value to your house for the large investment, so we’re looking at doing a real extension with proper roof etc
Wouldn’t you cook in something like this?
2 boys I used to work with install them. Check out their website SmartGarden.ie. They’re also on FB. They’re 2 genuinely lovely lads aswell.
I live in Europe and recently installed a more basic veranda
Considerations:
– glass roofs look nicer but can get very hot
– PVC is much cheaper
– you don’t need to add sides straightaway. it is possible to add later
– plan where the rainwater will go. Maybe sort that before installing
– glass roofs show up birdstains more than PVC
We got a simple one done in wood from these lads: [https://www.crazypergola.ie/glass-rooms](https://www.crazypergola.ie/glass-rooms)
We were initially going to get an aluminium one like pictured, but for the size of the area, looks and budget it was a no no, we were quoted upward if 15k for a 4×3 albeit with sliding doors…
If I did this on my house (where there is little to no shade) it would be a fking nightmare in the summer temperatures. Our glass porch can easily hit over 35 in summer and we’re thinking of removing it for this reason. It just floods the house (we’re trying to keep cool) with heat.
a big no on a glass roof. you wont be able to sit in it in the summer.
My parents put in a conservatory when I was a kid. It was boiling hot in the summer and baltic in the winter. Anything plastic left in there melted. I don’t see the benefit of them. Just an excuse to buy more furniture.
We have a “sun room” that’s about 50% double-glazed, unheated, east-facing. It’s either frozen or boiling and the least used room in the house because of that. Something like this would also reduce the comfort in adjoining rooms and likely lower your home BER.
My only thought is wouldn’t this just be melting and unusable when it’s hot and sunny
Roasting hot in Summer, absolutely freezing cold in Winter.
Have a look at bioclimatic pergola. I think they are lovely
Get yourself really close to the rain
Have a friend who at the start of covid put a big shed 4m x 4m wooden shed up against his back door and just cut a hole in it for his back door. He uses it as a garden room. It’s all glass across the front with a door in the side.
He has a pool table, couch, dart board and a tv in it. It’s great to go over to play a few games or have a few beers when a match is on.
Maybe try something like that instead because I imagine all glass would get very hot in summer.
Cold in the winter. Unbelievably warm in the summer. So many goddamn windows to clean and the roof will go gross looking because fucked if anyone is going up there on a regular basis to clean it.
Handy place to dry clothes though and nice when there’s guests*
*As long as they don’t look up at the manky glass roof.
First it was bell bottom pants, and now it’s conservatories. When did housing become subject to fashion?!
Sweatbox
Every person I know who jumped into putting in these or Louvred roof pergolas are seriously regretting it now because they block out so much light indoors. And aren’t even usable in winter. I’m a big plant person so blocking out the sky is non negotiable!
Too hot in the summer.
Too cold in the winter
My Dad is about to get his conservatory converted because it is an oven in summer and a freezer in winter. I’d imagine these glass rooms would be the same.
From living with verandahs (2) and conservatories (1) and sunrooms (1) and currently experiencing a very nice sunroom on a holiday house in Donegal…:
– conservatory (glass box): just don’t! Always the wrong temperature. Destroys everything with thermal variation and UV light. Glasshole of Calcutta.
– verandah: only glaze it where windows open onto it. Sheltered space with a glass roof is too hot in the summer months past breakfast time (might be cool by dinner if you are lucky) so you are better having a solid roof (brise-soleil, darling) to shade it in summer and, top tip, put in electric radiant patio heaters (the type that stay black, not glow orange) so you can use it in spring and autumn too. And where you glaze, consider translucent glass, you lose a bit of light but nobody can see the bird shit! We have this on the verandah.
– sunroom (a room with significant glazing but not floor-to-ceiling and/or not continuous glazing and with a solid roof). This is the best option if you can build it to internal building regs and control the temperature but it will still experience solar gain in summer and may be unusable after breakfast, unless you can throw all the windows open so it becomes a masonry pergola Works best on east or west elevation to minimise the heating. South is asking for Foreign Legion treatment. You can use it in all other seasons though….
Too hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Get a proper tile or slate roof on it.
