We select the winter garden configuration to match the house, the property, and the usage scenario. It can be an extension, glazing for an existing terrace, a rooftop structure, or a separate building.
An attached conservatory connects directly to the house and increases its usable area.
An open or partially covered terrace can be transformed into a protected, light-transmitting space that is comfortable to use for a longer period throughout the year.
A winter garden can be located on a usable roof or roof terrace if the building structure allows it. Such a solution creates additional panoramic space without using the adjacent area.
During the design process, we take into account:
A winter garden does not necessarily have to be attached to a residential house. A separate structure made of glass and aluminum profiles can be installed on the property.
She can serve as:
We select the location taking into account the view, orientation to the cardinal directions, distance to the house, and the desired level of privacy.
The main difference is in the operating mode. A warm winter garden is designed for year-round use. The cold option primarily protects against precipitation and wind and does not provide a constant living temperature in winter.
| Characteristic | Warm winter garden | Cold winter garden |
|---|---|---|
| Seasonality of use | Year-round | Mostly seasonal |
| Main purpose | Residential zone, living room, dining room, lounge area | Protected terrace, veranda, vestibule or seasonal zone |
| Double-glazed window | Energy-saving double-glazed windows with project-specific characteristics | Glass or double-glazed unit according to the design requirements |
| Thermal insulation | Increased requirements for the profile, glazing, and junctions | Lower heat retention requirements |
| Ventilation | Necessary to maintain a comfortable microclimate | Selected according to configuration |
| Heating | It may be intended to maintain a comfortable temperature | Usually not needed |
The basis of a winter garden is a correctly calculated frame, glass filling, roof, opening elements, and engineering solutions. They must work as a single system.
| Property | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Sturdy aluminum frame | Helps the structure withstand the loads provided for by the project |
| Narrow visible profile parts | They allow for the creation of large areas of panoramic glazing |
| Configuration flexibility | Aluminum is suitable for structures of various shapes and sizes |
| RAL Painting | The profile can be matched to almost any color to match the house facade |
When designing a glass roof, we consider:
Comfort in a winter garden depends on several interrelated decisions:
The final cost calculation is performed after evaluating a specific project. The starting price is from 500$ per 1 m².
| Factor | How it affects the project and cost |
|---|---|
| Square | The larger construction requires more profile, glass, components, and installation work |
| Form | Non-standard configurations require additional design development |
| Profile type | The system is selected based on the dimensions of the structure, loads, and thermal insulation requirements. |
| Double-glazed window | The cost depends on the double-glazed unit formula, glass type, coating, and other characteristics. |
| Roof | A glass roof requires separate calculation of the frame, glazing, and drainage |
| Sliding systems | The system type, opening dimensions, and opening configuration affect this. |
| Installation | The complexity of access, adjacency to the building, and the features of the object are taken into account |
First, we clarify what the future winter garden should be: its area, location, purpose, desired type of glazing, and operating mode. If necessary, we arrange for an engineer to visit the site.
We take measurements, analyze the building's structure, and prepare a technical solution. Our in-house engineering department works out the configuration, profile systems, glass, roof, and junction details. After that, we agree on the project and budget.
After the documentation is approved, we hand over the structure to production. At the winter garden manufacturing stage, we prepare the aluminum elements, double-glazed windows, and components, and then perform the installation on-site.
After installation, we check the strength of the connections, glazing, seals, opening elements, and the operation of the provided systems. We hand over the finished structure to the customer after the final inspection.

We work with projects of various configurations, ranging from terrace glazing to standalone translucent structures. We also manufacture aluminum structures and sliding systems for terraces, gazebos, balconies, and loggias.
The choice depends on the mode of use. A heated winter garden is better suited for year-round operation, when it is necessary to maintain a comfortable temperature in winter. The unheated option is appropriate as a seasonal glazed room or a terrace protected from wind and precipitation.
The list of documents depends on the type of structure, foundation, method of connection to the house, and the nature of the work. Before starting the project, it is necessary to separately check the requirements specifically for the particular object.
There is no single timeframe for all structures. The duration of design, production, and installation depends on the area, complexity, selected systems, and configuration. The approximate timeframe is determined by Favorbud managers after processing the project.
It depends on the type of work and the structural characteristics. Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 406 defines the list of construction works for which documents granting the right to perform them are not required, but whether a specific winter garden belongs to such a list must be determined by the project parameters. If a new capital extension, foundation, or intervention in the building's structures is planned, permitting issues should be checked before starting the work.
First and foremost, proximity to the house, orientation to the cardinal directions, the view, and the usage scenario are evaluated. A winter garden can be set up on a ready-made terrace, planned as an extension, or installed as a standalone structure. For spaces with extensive glazing, the intensity of solar heating must also be taken into account.
Right. If the winter garden is planned to be used year-round, heating equipment can be provided in the project. It needs to be coordinated with the thermal insulation, double-glazed windows, and ventilation system. For a seasonal cold garden, constant heating is usually not necessary.
Thermal and noise insulation depend on the profile system, double-glazed unit formula, installation quality, and joint sealing. For a warm structure, appropriate aluminum profiles, energy-efficient double-glazed units, in particular with low-emissivity coated glass, as well as high-quality seals at the connection points are used.
The winter garden needs to be periodically inspected and cleaned. During servicing, the condition of the aluminum profiles, double-glazed windows, seals, hardware, sliding mechanisms, drainage, and the tightness of the joints are checked. The frequency of maintenance depends on the systems used and the operating conditions.
Yes, the warranty terms for the completed work are determined by the contract and depend on the type of installed structure and components. The exact warranty period for a specific winter garden can be clarified with a representative of "Favorbud" before placing the order.
