Wintergardens bring German design, engineering and innovation to Harrogate

Ask anyone in continental Europe what a wintergarden is, and they’ll know immediately. But mention the word to someone in the UK and you are likely to be met with a blank face.

They may look like many of the other glass room-style products available on the market in this country, but wintergardens in the original German sense of the word are more like a modern, fully-glazed version of the UK conservatory.

A wintergarden is a bespoke glass extension that takes any home improvement, renovation or new build project to the next level. It opens up your living space, lets natural light flood in, and offers panoramic views to the outside.

But the thing that sets a wintergarden apart from many other glazed structures is that it is thermally-insulated and therefore acts as a true additional room in your home. It’s perfect for anyone thinking of a house extension who would like a lighter, brighter space than can be created with bricks and mortar.

Now, specialist glazing manufacturer and installer Reveal is to spread the word about wintergardens at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show in Harrogate.

Leeds-based Reveal is a UK partner of German company Solarlux, a manufacturer of premium glass systems. Solarlux, who invented the original bi-folding door, produce high-quality, stunning bespoke wintergardens which are installed by Reveal specialist team across Yorkshire.

Innovative glazed extensions for your home

The innovation of a Solarlux wintergarden lies in its excellent thermal properties and climate control, which keep it warm in winter and cool in summer. But this doesn’t just make for a comfortable living space that can be used all year round – it also creates an environmentally-efficient home extension. Depending on the glazed elements you choose to include, a wintergarden can even meet passive house standards. And because of its all-glass appearance, it is also an excellent choice for homes in conservation areas or national parks where house extensions are subject to a specific set of rules and conditions.

Then there are other innovations that are not visible to the eye. There’s the environmentally sustainable manufacturing processes used at the state-of-the-art Solarlux campus in Germany, or the anodised aluminium frame that can be specified for coastal properties to prevent corrosion. If your home is in an exposed rural area, your Solarlux wintergarden can be engineered to withstand a massive wind load capacity. The glazed elements such as bi-folding doors and sliding doors are among the world’s leaders for slim sightlines, U values and maximum size.

Finally, because every wintergarden is designed and custom made to fulfil your vision and requirements, you can create a glass extension that not only looks stunning but is unique to your home.
