These are things to consider before covering your terrace

The terrace of the house actually increases the useful floor area if it is optimally covered and enclosed. We love being out in the fresh air, and even more so in summer. An available terrace is an extra living space where you can be alone, have family dinners, swing or even create a barbecue corner. The space we choose can add a lot of extra functionality to our lives when used to its optimum potential.

Terrace location – free-standing or attached

The location of the terrace will largely determine which terrace cover to use. Most often, we need to cover terraces attached to the house, but of course there are also special locations that are different from the average. A terrace attached to the house is easily accessible and can be easily integrated into the design of the house, but can limit the design options. The free-standing terrace gives you more design freedom. You can also choose to cover only part of a really spacious terrace – it’s all a matter of individual preference, but of course our experts can help you with their suggestions when designing.

Material choice and size – roof and side wall materials

The size of the terrace determines the price and design. The choice of material has a decisive influence on the appearance and durability of the decking. The roof material can be, for example, glued wooden pergola, glass or polycarbonate. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of material should be adapted to weather conditions and aesthetic preferences. If your terrace is constantly exposed to sunlight, you may also want to consider a bioclimatic pergola, which will keep the terrace light and reduce the heat from the sun. The material of the side walls is also an important consideration. Think about whether you would prefer a more enclosed, intimate space, or an open and airy space. For example, you can use glass walls for side walls for a more open and spacious feel, or you can opt for a more closed design, which might protect you from the prying eyes of neighbours.

Design

The supporting structure of the terrace, its cover and possible side walls are decisive for the design. In terms of support elements, the maintenance-free stainless steel structure gives a modern, elegant style, while the glued wooden decking covers give a more natural feel when painted with a lazur finish. You can also choose a single-colour overlay that reflects the colours and design of the house. Glued wooden poles are priced lower than their steel counterparts, but you will have to expect maintenance work in the long run. Other design elements, such as furniture, plants, lamps and decorations, also contribute to the atmosphere and style of the terrace. If harmony and style are important to you, you may want to choose furniture and decorations to match your patio cover. Think about the style you want to achieve and choose a patio cover that suits your concept. In addition to the appearance of the decking, it is worth considering the level of protection you want to provide for the items on your decking, as if you request decking that extends beyond the decking, this can provide protection for more furniture and equipment.

The highest quality and comfort available

The bioclimatic pergola is the perfect combination of modern design and functionality. The angle of the slats can be adjusted electrically and sensors track the weather to ensure optimal shading at all times. A bioclimatic pergola is not just a shading device, but a complete comfort and protection solution. The roof structure can be opened and closed at the touch of a button, so you can enjoy the terrace in winter and in rainy weather. In summer, you can sunbathe in comfort on sunny days. The decking can be used as a stand-alone or wall-mounted solution and allows for a wide range of customisation options. It is flexible and adapts to individual needs, allowing you to enjoy your terrace in all weather conditions.

High-quality materials and professional workmanship contribute to the long life of the terrace and its pleasant use. Don’t waste time and energy on design and material selection, because a well-designed and executed terrace can be a real place to relax and enjoy. The design and construction of your patio can be a major undertaking, which is why we believe it is essential that you consult with our experts to get the right suggestions from our skilled team.
