Solariums
A solarium is essentially a sunroom with a glass ceiling as well as glass walls. Stargazers and nature lovers alike would enjoy a solarium, as it provides year-round views of all that is outside, without the disadvantage of having to bear the elements to enjoy it. Whether you aim to experience the magic of a rainstorm while having the protection of steel and glass, or you seek an eternally warm spot to pursue a quiet hobby, a solarium might be the ideal solution for you.
Constructed of steel or aluminum beams that are secured into your home’s foundation and then enclosed with glass, a solarium’s energy efficiency is dependent on the grade of glass you select. Consulting and hiring a solarium professional in your area will ensure that appropriate selections of material are made to maximize the durability and usability of your solarium.
There are two basic roof designs for solariums: traditional or straight, and curved. When deciding on the style of your solarium roof, consider the style of the rest of your home, so that is blends in well, and not seem terribly out of placeSolarium Traditional Roofs
Just like it sounds, a traditional or straight eave roof is a roof that meets the wall at an angle. Flat panels of glass are connected at the joints, and an overhang may also be created to divert rainwater from a doorway. Traditional solarium roofs may also be terraced for a distinctive appearance.
Solarium Curve Designs
For a more graceful transition from roof to wall, a curved roof may be selected. For this type of solarium roof, curved panes of glass are utilized for the corners, rather than the steel or aluminum joints.
