Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to glaze a terrace?
The price depends on the system, the size, the type of glass and the profile colour. We give an exact price after the free survey and measuring. As a guide, folding systems with single glass start at around €120 per m².
Is a glazed terrace warmer in winter?
Yes. The glass stops wind and rain. Systems with insulated glass also hold the heat, so we recommend them if you want to use the terrace as a room.
Do I need permission to glaze my balcony?
In apartment buildings, glazing changes the facade, so check the requirements of the owners' association and the municipality. During the survey we'll tell you what is usually required.
How do I clean the outside of the glass?
With folding and sliding systems, you open or move the panels and reach the outside from the terrace. The guillotine that is cleaned from inside lets the glass tilt inwards like a window.
How long does it take from order to installation?
Manufacturing takes about 10–15 working days after the quote is confirmed. Installing one terrace is usually done in one day.
