What is a glass roof?

It is a structure made of aluminum and tempered glass that covers an open space such as a pergola, porch, terrace, or inner patio. Its structure may vary depending on the size of the space to be covered.

It always features a solid structure of aluminum profiles to which different tempered glass panes framed for proper sliding by the main and intermediate perpendicular guides are adapted.

The versatility that a glass roof brings to your porch or terrace is comparable to all the possibilities that this product can bring to your home. Whether it's mobile or manual, the visibility, brightness, and protection provided by this product are unbeatable, as well as the durability and resistance it provides to the entire structure.

Differences between mobile and fixed

The difference between mobile and fixed glass roofs lies in the ability to open and close the system according to our needs. Fixed roofs are simpler structures that fulfill the same function as a mobile one, covering an upper space.

Resistance and durability of both systems are similar, although the appearance of the mobile roof is somewhat different since it needs to be divided into different parts, depending on the size of the space to be covered, to give it the mobility functionality it needs.

Advantages offered

In the terrace, transparent glass roofs create a unique space in your home. Such coverage allows maximizing solar energy and light.

In these types of places, the effect of a winter garden allows enjoying natural light on the terrace in the coldest months, and during the night, it retains the accumulated heat, with the consequent energy saving that this implies.

Thus, the terrace gains the comfort of being isolated from external noises. It also brings brightness to the interior of the house since the access can remain open at all times.

Another advantage is that, by increasing the covered area of the house, the glass roof adds value to the property.

Even if you don't substantially change the facade of the building, it is also advisable to consult with the company responsible for the installation in Mallorca if there are any restrictions regarding the exterior appearance or affecting the evacuation routes in case of fire.

How to clean glass roofs?

Glass roofs are made up of a solid structure of aluminum profiles onto which various tempered glass panes are adapted. In the case of being mobile, the panes will be properly framed so that they can slide through the main or intermediate perpendicular guides.

Tempered glass is ideal for covering outdoor areas such as patios, terraces, porches, or pergolas; without compromising visibility or brightness. These types of structures are very durable and resistant, which is why they are increasingly used in outdoor design.

Being located in outdoor areas, dirt accumulates over time on the surface of glass roofs. For this reason, it is advisable to plan periodic cleanings, minimizing the accumulation of dirt between sessions.

To perform the cleaning, it is ideal to hire the services of a professional company. Nowadays, many of these companies use pole cleaning with osmosis water, an innovative system that is especially suitable for cleaning large exterior glass surfaces.

Reverse osmosis systems generate ultra-pure filtered water that is 100% free of substances and minerals such as chlorine, lead, fluoride, calcium, magnesium, etc. Since it lacks particles, water molecules become unstable and need to absorb any residue they encounter, thus becoming a powerful cleaning agent that removes all kinds of dirt.

The use of telescopic poles allows reaching a distance of up to 24 meters, making them very suitable for cleaning all the nooks and crannies of glass roofs. In addition, the end of these poles is equipped with a high-quality brush with open-tip bristles, which allows dragging dirt without damaging the glass surface.
