Canopy with glass roof

Glass roof canopy

With a canopy, you create a space that brings the inside and outside closer together. You don't have to worry that placing the canopy on the facade will make it darker in the house, because the glass roof ensures that full daylight is retained and a panoramic view is created.

There is a choice of sloping or straight construction
The glass roof is available with (heat-resistant) transparent glass or (heat-resistant) frosted glass

Types off glass-roofed shelters

Veranda with sloping glass roof

The canopy with sloping glass roof is as we all know it, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful. For the look, there is a choice of underlying or overhead roof beams.

Straight veranda with glass roof

The straight roof veranda is an enclosure executed with an optically flat roof, which creates a modern look. The roof is placed in a minimal slope so that rainwater can be easily drained through the uprights.

Mega veranda with glass roof

The mega veranda is a patio covering with high load-bearing capacity. Thus, the roof can be built to a size of 7 meters wide and 6 meters deep, as much as 42 m² on just two uprights. The thicker beams, thicker gutter and thicker uprights make this robust-looking porch extremely strong.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of a glass roof over polycarbonate?

A glass-roofed veranda offers more light, a luxurious appearance and is significantly quieter during rain than a polycarbonate roof. Another advantage is that with a glass roof a straight roof construction is possible, which provides a sleek and modern look. With polycarbonate, the construction is usually always sloping.

A porch with a polycarbonate roof, on the other hand, is lighter in weight and cheaper to purchase, making it attractive for smaller budgets.

What is the difference between a veranda, garden room and conservatory?

A veranda is an aluminum roof with uprights, usually without walls. This creates an extension of your home where you are sheltered from sun and rain, while still retaining that true outdoor feeling.

A garden room is basically a veranda that is fully or partially enclosed with (sliding glass) walls. This allows you to use the outdoor space comfortably even in cold or windy weather, but a garden room is not fully insulated and usually not heated.

Both verandas and garden rooms are available with various types of roofs, such as a glass roof, polycarbonate roof, sliding roof, slatted roof, cloth roof or folding roof.

A conservatory is a full-fledged and fully insulated extension to your home. It consists of a glass roof with fixed walls, insulation and heating. Often an opening is made in the facade so that the conservatory is fully integrated into the house. Because of the higher insulation value, other foundation requirements apply to a conservatory and the investment is higher than for a veranda or garden room.

Do I need a permit for a glass-roofed canopy?

In many cases, a glass-roofed canopy is permit-free, especially if it is in the backyard and meets local building codes. However, there are exceptions, such as for large sizes or monumental properties. You can easily do a permit check yourself via your municipality's website.

Do you have doubts or need help? Then we are happy to support you, in cooperation with AlliosDeite, specialists in permit applications and spatial planning. This way you can be sure that everything is legally correct and you can have your dream veranda erected without any worries.

Is it safe to walk on the glass roof of a porch?

Yes, this is possible with our glass roofed canopies. It is not recommended to walk on the glass panels themselves, but you can safely move over the aluminum beams. This is useful when you want to clean the glass roof or reach overhead windows for maintenance or painting.

Our glass roofs come standard with safety glass. Should, for example, a roof tile fall on it, the glass will not break, but only crack. Thus, safety remains guaranteed.

Does a glass porch get hot in the summer?

Yes, a glass-roofed porch can feel hot in the summer, especially in direct sunlight. Glass lets in a lot of light and heat, which in the spring and fall quickly creates a pleasant temperature. In summer, however, it can get too hot under a glass roof.

Fortunately, there are smart solutions to prevent this:

Heat resistant glass or frosted glass
Awnings, such as under-roof awnings, upper-roof awnings or screens
Sliding glass walls that you can open for natural ventilation

By combining a glass canopy with sun protection elements, you can enjoy optimal comfort and plenty of light all year round.
