Winter garden under a Veranda awning

« Back to blog

Beautiful winter weather outside; snow and sun. And it was winter that "thought" us of today's blog topic. A somewhat contradictory topic, because winter is hardly associated with a garden. The garden is green and summer, and winter in the garden is rather a snowman.

But let's get back to the topic ... Conservatories are becoming more and more popular in architectural projects. Large glazing, through which a lot of light enters the house, and additionally a separate space, all walls and roofing of which are made of glass panes. Such a space is an ideal place for plants, even the more exotic ones. A place where we can enjoy a bit of summer in the middle of winter.

It sounds beautiful, but if we do not cover such glazing properly, a green paradise can quickly turn into an aquarium with unpleasantly high temperature. This is where Veranda awnings come in handy.

Veranda awning - what is it

Veranda awnings have been designed with the idea of ​​shading the space of winter gardens from the sun, skylights or translucent roofs whose roofing is flat or sloping.

A winter garden can be a great place to relax, not only in winter, but also in summer. It seamlessly connects the house with the garden, and at the same time makes a great aesthetic impression when there are a lot of various plants inside. We need them especially in winter, when it's gray outside.

Veranda is a type of textile roller blinds that will effectively shade a larger area of ​​a glass roof. They are easily mounted on special brackets made of aluminum. They can be mounted on the inside or outside; in both cases the awning fabric is electrically controlled. Since the material is to cover a larger space of the roof, the product is equipped with a fabric tension system, which in practice prevents loss of material tension. Thanks to this, the product not only protects against excessive sunlight, but also looks very aesthetically. The color palette visible during the ordering process also favors the aesthetics.

Veranda awnings available in the Knall store are made of extruded aluminum and powder coated; this applies to the cassette, guides and the bottom beam. As a result, the awning installed on the outside will be resistant to the adverse effects of rain, snow or wind and will maintain its aesthetic appearance for a long time.

This type of awning can be installed in a combined modular system, therefore it is possible to cover large glass surfaces of the roof. The system can cover the roof at any angle of inclination, even though the cassette is placed horizontally.

Additional advantages of the Veranda awnings

Of course, we are talking about effective protection of the winter garden against the sun in the first place. The current climate change is a long and warm autumn, and even in winter there are less and less really cold temperatures; in addition, hot summer and warm spring - a glazed space requires a well-thought-out cover, because the glass acts like a magnet on the sun and the room heats up very quickly.
But this is not the only advantage of the Veranda awning that you should keep in mind. In the winter garden, an air conditioner must often be installed to cool it down in summer. The awning fabric cover does not allow the room to overheat, it is energy-saving and effectively helps to reduce energy consumption. We should also remember that the sharp sun, even in winter, can be unpleasant for the eyes, and the shading will make it possible to rest, read, work, etc. in the winter garden comfortably.
