Akzent Plus Wintergarten room extension with SL60 bi-fold doors

This Akzent Plus wintergarden glazed extension with an SL60 bi-folding doors was installed at a property in London. The glass extension measures 6 x 4 m with a 0.5 m overhang at the front, roof sloping to the rear; the colour is DB703 dark grey It was important to the customer to create additional living space, which is naturally thermally insulated and of high quality. From a constructional point of view, the extension had to be connected to an existing tiled roof at the back and avoid the balcony and drain pipes at the front. In the end the balcony unfortunately had to make way for the wintergarden. The formation of a cold bridge is avoided by means of heavy-duty stainless steel fixings. The glass is specially made to keep the temperature stable in all seasons. Double glazing has been installed according to EN1297 guidelines, which leads to 63% less heat loss in winter compared to conventional glazing. Up to 71% of heat is reflected in summer, reducing the maximum temperature by 13 degrees Celsius on average. The construction has the potential to halve the energy requirements of the room. The glass achieves a U-value of 1.0 x/m2k.
