01VILLA EXTENSIONS
A covered terrace that is too hot to use in summer can become a year-round room when it is enclosed. Whether that means glass sliding doors or insulated walls depends on how you want to use it and what your community allows.
Next step
Tell us the terrace size and orientation. We match you with contractors who design and build enclosures.
Discuss a terrace enclosureOr message us on WhatsAppGlazed enclosures keep the garden view and light but gain heat; high-performance glass and shading reduce this. Solid insulated walls with windows make a room that is easier to cool. Many enclosures combine a solid roof and side walls with glass facing the garden.
The terrace floor may need raising to match the internal floor and to provide a damp barrier, and the roof needs insulation and waterproofing suitable for a room. Cooling is essential: the enclosure needs its own air conditioning or a connection with adequate capacity.
Enclosing a terrace changes the villa's built-up area and appearance, so most communities treat it as an extension requiring approval. The contractor's consultant prepares the submission.
