If you are
thinking about installing a roof in your garden, you may be wondering if it
could take light out of your house. Even though putting a roof in your garden
has its advantages, you need to check that (in fact) it doesn’t take light out
of your house. Nevertheless, there are different types of roofs you may install
in your garden or patio which are prepared to avoid this complication. How?
Here, we will mention some ideas that may be useful when it comes to installing
a roof on your patio.
For
starters, in order to put a roof in your patio without taking any sun light,
there are many roofs made of glass or different crystal materials that could be
used. Nowadays, you may find from plastic materials to glasses (double, simple,
thicker, thinner, unbreakable, etc). The type of material you may choose to put
in your patio as a roof will depend on the type of roof you may want to install
and have. Installing a roof made of glass or (transparent) plastic is ideal if
you don't want to loose sun light and close your patio.
On the
other hand, those who still believe that putting a roof in your patio will take
you all the light, even if the roof is made of glass or plastic, these days you
may find many movable roofs. This type of roof allows you to take it away if
you want more light or put it if you want to be in your patio and it is raining
or it’s too cool.
Having a
roof in your patio made of glass or plastic that allows the light to pass into
your house may be perfect so you can enjoy your patio or garden in winter, despite
the cold, and the sun and its heat (and the light of course) in a cozy environment.
Moreover,
besides choosing to install crystal, glass, or plastic materials specially made
to use as roofs in your patio, there are different types of materials that you
can use in its structure so they support the glasses. These can be thicker or
thinner; it's up to you (and your budget). According to the type of structure
you choose, this may take more or less sun light out of your house.
To
conclude, putting a roof in your patio may be a good option if you want to
enjoy this part of your house all year long, or if you need more space at home.
Putting a transparent structure as a roof will let you use this area as an
extra room or as a patio as well (even in winter).
