Installation
Date: September 2024
Location: Orba, Alicante, Spain.
Installation: Terrace glazing Sunflex SF20 all-glass sliding system & Sunflex SF25 slide and turn systems
Background
The customer wanted more space for his patio so that he could use it all year round.
Solution
We added a canopy to the existing patio roof to maximise the area up to the edge of the pool.
After discussing various solutions, we decided in favour of a Sunflex SF20 all-glass sliding system. A slide-and-turn system was not the best solution, as the supporting pillars would be in the way when opening the individual panels. We would have had to plan very small glass panels so that they could be opened easily without ‘grazing’ the supporting pillars.The customer wanted fixed glazing on the sides.
We glazed the access from the car park to the terrace with Sunflex SF25 sliding/turning glazing, as a sliding system is not the ideal solution here due to the narrow width of the glazing. We therefore installed the SF25, which can be opened over the corner. And we modified a single glass panel from a sliding/rotary panel to a sliding panel – customised by our technician. This is why the extended track embedded in the floor can be seen in the photos. A single SF20 sliding panel would not have fitted in with the appearance.
Why this one modified sliding panel? It is the entrance / access to the terrace from the car park. The customer would otherwise have a great deal of operating effort every time he uses this access to the terrace. And this one panel would then stand in the room, while the other panels would be ‘parked’ open against the house wall.
Result
By extending the terrace with a roof and installing terrace glazing, the customer receives a spacious, weather-protected terrace that they can enjoy all year round. We also developed a unique solution for access from the parking lot that enables convenient use. By combining different systems, we have created an optimal solution for the customer’s needs.
“Glazing our patio with Sunflex SF25 allowed us to double our living area with the kitchen and the living room. It’s a very popular place and appreciated by all our guests –probably the best investment we have made in recent years. Small downside: after 5 years the window seals needed replacing due to wear and tear. In any case, Amasvista fixed the issue within 24 hours, which deserves a mention for the seriousness of the after-sales service. Highly recommended.”
