The material of the conservative structure of the winter garden plays a very important role. Whether it is wood, aluminum or plastic, each of these materials has its own specifics, advantages and disadvantages. The combination of the appropriate material and the shape of the structure influences the conditions of the subsequent use of the winter garden.
Durable construction
The construction material of the garden must be able to withstand the wind and the load. This means keeping not only the weight of glass sheets, but also resisting snow loads. The design also affects the difference between outdoor and indoor temperatures and increased moisture in the winter garden. All this must be taken into account during the planning and subsequent realization of the winter garden.
Wooden construction
Wood is still classical. Even in terms of the wooden structure of the winter garden, it is possible to speak of a natural, ductile and proven material that is still popular. Wood has excellent insulation properties. It is more appropriate to use the construction of glued trusses for the construction of the winter garden, which exhibit high load capacity and durability. However, because of the susceptibility of the material to moisture, sunlight and wood-destroying fungi and pests, it is necessary for wood structures to have a surface finish.
Construction of a winter garden made of aluminum
Aluminum is a very popular material. And the construction of the aluminum garden is no exception. The aluminum construction is light, slim, has high stiffness and good statics. Unlike wood, aluminum is subtle, giving us a bigger glass surface. It is a highly adaptable material, and
aluminum conservatories are therefore not limited in shape, size or ruggedness. Aluminum is very resistant to weathering. However, when constructing a roof of a winter garden, it is better to use a material other than glass for the roofing.
Construction of a winter garden made of plastic
Still, the thought is that plastic is an inappropriate material for the winter garden. And the truth is that the plastic construction only has a very low load capacity. This problem can be eliminated by using plastics with an aluminum or steel core. Metal ensures strength and plastic resistance. The plastic construction of the winter garden has minimal maintenance requirements and is more affordable than other materials.
