MagazínSeries - Winter Garden: The supporting structure of the winter garden

6.4.2017

There is nothing more pleasant than to relax in an oasis of peace and greenery. And if we allow spatial possibilities, it's great just to relax in the conservatory. Winter Garden is essentially a link between the living area and outdoor garden where you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere all year round, whatever the weather outside.

 

 

That incorporate a conservatory into living space or living space for her associate, temperature and humidity influence not only in the winter garden, but in the residential part of the house. Conservatories can be implemented as an extension, before the house can also be partially incorporated into the construction of the house, but can also be fully incorporated into the living space. The position is less conservatories integration into living space, this leads to significant temperature fluctuations.

 

Selecting the conservatory should be based on the architecture of the house. Its shape, roof pitch, the material should act nonviolent impression and should work together with the house uniformly. Very important is the material of construction of conservatories, whether it's wood, aluminum or steel structures.

 

Wood is a proven material that is known to be very popular. In practice, the supporting structures of buildings used frequently bonded trusses. These exhibits a high capacity even at a relatively small diameter, but due to the susceptibility of the wood the climate and animal pests, it is necessary surface treatment of wood. Wood lets build winter gardens of different shapes and has a low thermal conductivity. With suitable surface treatment is a wooden construction conservatories excellent choice.

 

Aluminum structures are ideal statics and due to the high stiffness of the material, it is possible to create a very slim design, which fundamentally affects the size of the glass panels. Thanks to the flexibility of this material are conservatories and aluminum constructions limited in size, shape or breakdown structure. Excellent properties of aluminum is its resistance to climatic changes, its stability and strength. Shortcomings aluminum relate to its low load and having its reinforcement steel core. Furthermore, aluminum has low thermal insulation properties.

 

Steel as a building material has a very high load capacity, good durability and affordability, but it is a material that is very prone to corrosion and moisture in the winter garden, it is necessary to protect the steel surface corrosion coatings, galvanizing and electroplating. Steel is also highly thermally conductive material, which is reflected on the surface of the materials, which leads to condensation.

 

The plastic structure, in contrast to other materials of low capacity, in order to eliminate this property, tend to have an aluminum or steel core. The core ensures the strength and plastic shape stability and resistance to external influences. The advantage of plastic construction of conservatories is the price and minimal maintenance requirements. Plastic is a material resistant to UV radiation and has excellent thermal insulation properties. Its disadvantage is the thermal expansion of the plastic, but that can eliminate its white color.
