aroma of fresh herbs and exotic flowers all year round delight owners of conservatories.Those wishing to arrange at home eternal summer does not become smaller, and the options to create a winter garden with his own hands, thanks to innovative ideas become interesting.The industry offers a wide range of prefabricated elements for the construction of winter gardens, gardeners and independent decisions on the construction of mini-greenhouses generate new and original images.
where you can organize a winter garden?
theory insists that the winter garden - a glazed extension to the house to relax and create a green zone.Basically it is what happens, but in a private mansion.Residents of high-rise buildings have found a way for themselves and create a winter garden at home, with their hands on the balconies, in the rooms.Of course, such conversion should be done carefully and take into account the specifics of forever wet room with a large weight load on the structure.But today's building materials and new technologies to help solve these problems.In multi-level apartments for favorite plants sometimes emit an entire floor, placing it at the same time lounges, dining rooms, reception, game room.And the inhabitants of the upper floors of skyscrapers slowly reequipping a roof over your own apartment for the organization of magnificent gardens of various styles.Large firms that have their own office buildings, know how to make a winter garden - it's beautiful and stylish, enhances the prestige of the firm.The roofs, atriums, glazed transitions is attached to the building as the exotic lobby.Particularly relevant are the extension in an upscale hotel.
What structural materials used to create the gardens?
creating greenhouses and conservatories with their hands, ready to use metal, usually aluminum, plastic or wooden profile with a glazing or entirely constructed of advanced composite materials.For small gardens which create a high-rise buildings or on rooftops, are frequently used blocks of metal and plastic.Prefabricated structures for detached houses to install easier as engineers in advance provided the materials used, the necessary slope of the roof, the degree of illumination of these structures.Individual, independent projects require careful attention to the technical and architectural details of beautifully painted garden to further the snow and the water did not stay on the roof, sunlight has worked to the benefit of the plants, and the construction did not require annual maintenance.Using the films that protect from UV radiation, helps to maintain the required temperature and humidity conditions for green areas.
new materials that can replace glass
to build a winter garden with his own hands, instead of the usual glass use modern technologies recommend a self-cleaning material ETFE, which is called "synthetic foil" or in the trade - Teflon.This plastic from the group of fluoropolymers has optical transparency, ease, liquid impervious, resistant to stress, friction, well connected with different materials, which makes it possible to use this weightless glass substitute when creating winter gardens on the roofs, loggias, atriums.
Glazing fiberglass or fiberglass, consisting of 65-75% of glass allows you to get all the necessary qualities to create the perfect atmosphere in the garden.The properties of this material is unique because with the necessary transparency for the penetration of light composite additive increase strength, high resistance to temperature changes, UV radiation, are ecologically clean, moisture resistance and tried to use for windows, doors, conservatories.Such materials can create a winter garden, anywhere, without overloading the structure.
What you need to know about the design of the floor in the winter garden?
garden under construction for important good waterproofing the floor, because the influence of constant humidity, the effect of water and elevated temperatures are bad for the walls, floor and foundation of the house, and in a high-rises it can cause more serious trouble.Therefore, the construction of a winter garden with his own hands it is necessary to start with high-quality insulation against moisture.It is recommended to use different Bituminous-rubber insulation, bitumen-rubber, insulation, roofing, universal hot and cold method of application or use roll materials: glassine or gidrostekloizolom.For effective bonding of these materials, you can use a primer.
New technologies make it easier to perform such work using polyurethane adhesives, which are filled by a concrete screed as a base for tiles or other flooring.After the end of the preparatory work laid the floor of expanded clay or paving tiles, linoleum for areas with high humidity, natural stone or natural expensive materials, such as cork flooring.
Which style to choose for a winter garden?
construction works are completed, and winter gardens with their hands must be filled with plants that create a certain style, complement the furniture.Landscape designers offer subtropical plants, ethnic orientation in the design, such as the establishment of the Chinese or the Japanese garden, exotic flora, which sometimes require extra facilities in the form of a small pond or imitation waterfall, stream, spring.
can be arranged in a green corner of the rose garden or flower bed.Orchid lovers turns into a tropical paradise its conservatories and reinforce the impression of exotic birds.If desired, part of the winter garden may well be used as a mini-vegetable garden or grow your favorite berries and citrus fruits.Well, you can use a small portion of the private mansion of the winter garden, covered with grass, as a small exercise for golf or tennis, or combine it with a swimming pool.
In recent years, creating a winter garden with his own hands, these facilities efficiently combined with rest rooms, dining room, bathroom, lobby, atrium, or connect the various buildings on the site.
What equipment is needed for the functioning of the garden?
to create the necessary conditions for plant conservatories with their hands must be equipped with ventilation system, adjustable heating system, irrigation system.
Ventilate the room can be a natural way, but it is ineffective, as the use of legacy systems with a pair of functions - supply and exhaust air.And it can be used to heat the warm floor, but it is much easier and more enjoyable one time install expensive air-conditioning system with humidification, cleaning, drying, ionization, aeration and ventilation or computer controlled climate control system, which carries out all the functions of their own.Excellent proven photovoltaic cells, which will help ensure the necessary electricity equipment garden.
for watering plants indoors too, came up with controlled drip system that allows gently moisten the soil, no moisture on the floor and in controlled amounts, which is especially important for plants, which are home to a variety of belt of the Earth.
