When designing a terrace we should consider many factors, the most important is to understand the needs of the people who will enjoy the terrace and their lifestyle. They are spaces that invite you to spend quality time and it is necessary to consider all the elements of weather control in order to everybody enjoy at any time of year.

The orientation, exposure, the local weather etc. are crucial when choosing the enclosure to install, but also the dimensions and design that contributes significantly to creating a pleasant atmosphere.

In this bioclimatic pergola project, we have achieved a waterproof cover area with adjustable aluminum slats through a motorized system but quiet. The system allows adjusting the slats from 0° to 135°, making that the hot air flows by natural convection flow to outside, cooling and increasing the comfort zone.

This new solar protection technology is positioned within bioclimatic architecture, because it allows control the balance between habitat, people and weather. This way it improves conditions of temperature and ventilation, allowing at all times adjust insulation, ventilation and it protects from rain even in ventilation position.

The bioclimatic pergola combines the advantages of roof and awning, with the aesthetic of straight lines that perfectly integrates into the architecture of the house.

When it is about divide, separate or making the distribution of interior areas, as it is about exterior façade enclosures that we need to move away at any time, the SF-40 HSW Beldaglass system is the ideal solution, even more if they are cafes and restaurants establishments. The SF-40 is completely free for the unimpeded transit of people because it does not have any kind of floor rail. Besides, this kind of system does not need any maintenance since the lack of floor rail it has not dirt or objects that can enter in the rail which can produces breakdowns.

The system has very few limitations in terms of size as can be up to 4.50 Mts. height and supports a glass tempered load up to 160 Kgs and may be used 12 mm glass tempered.

This system has been chosen by McDonald´s company for 24-hour restaurants project. This service that was being offered at restaurants with McAuto, could not be offered however in restaurants that do not have McAuto, because the condition for opening 24 hours that the restaurant is closed and only sells takeaway.

With Sf-40 H-S-W Beldaglass systems achieve that deploying the panels, which for most of the time remain hidden in closets discreetly placed, restaurant areas are closed for clients, maintaining only the hallway from the entrance to the cash register, which they are also protected by the system. In the place of the cash register, there are holes in the glass through the food is dispensed

It has also been incorporated into the terraces of some restaurants remaining closed when the cold and wind make it necessary and move away once the weather is favorable, so customers enjoy the main attraction of the restaurant at any time of year.

This versatile system that had already incorporated shopping malls like “Muelle Uno de Málaga”, on the facades of local exterior or the Llaollao gelato, it is an honor for our company that leading foodservice worldwide companies as McDonald’s have chosen us as partners to solve their needs for exterior enclosures and compartmentalization of the spaces, and that companies count on us for advice on their local enclosures.

The first feeling that the porch produce is lightness. Its design with recessed pillars, leaving the corners with glass only, free of obstacles in order to the glass panels turn through angles, which gives a degree of simplicity and unobstructed appearance. Structurally this configuration also has advantages in its static behavior, as when flying on poles beam reduces the distance between supports and cantilever counteracts the central load balancing loads and reducing the dimensions of the beam and main charge and reaching greater spaces while maintaining at the same height the beam.

This project was installed quickly, only two days of installation at the home customer. Installation without works, just open the gap in the ground to fit the floor rail, which is carried out by cutting disk, supported by vacuum in order to avoid dust, the pillars are set by internal bolts and epoxy resin as the same way as the rest of the structure.

The anti aging treatment and corrosion, it is ensured because the main structure is galvanized, the secondary structures are made of aluminum with chromate pre-treatment and all coated with polyester resin powder, which is submitted after application to a polymerized treatment at a temperature of 220 degrees.

This glazing porch protects users of adverse weather as well as dust, insects and other nuisances frequent in an outdoor terrace. Moreover, the system produce greenhouse heating the room, transmitting heat to the house itself. When it is cold the glazing also protects and insulates the house from the cold outside. On the other hand it also provides security against intruders because it is a difficult and safe barrier to cross before reaching the house.

The lightness of its forms, the transparency of glass and the strength of aluminum, get the feel of being in a bubble, but also can be on the outside, with the push of a button, the roof opens feeling again the freshness of being outdoors.

In this project is noteworthy its peculiar shape, inspired by the classic garden house, is a large and nice restaurant, where the customer has the feeling of being in an open-air terrace.

Each of its eight facades is access for customers, you can open all the faces by 50% of the area because they are sliding doors. This allows air flow in all directions when the system is open, thus complying with the anti-smoking law to allow customers smoking inside. But even more, when it is closed despite their large glazed surface keeps the comfort of a soft air conditioning due to the high degree of thermal insulation of the glazing and the roof, built it with sandwich panel of 82 mm.

The structure consists of nine pillars, one at each of its vertices and a central post on which the beams that support the roof converge. The upper fixed of the system panels are structural for what they work as reinforced. Through the structure the wiring is conducted, and it is not necessary to attach any additional profile or cover plates to hide the wiring.

The cover sandwich panel of 82 mm. gives to the building a high level of insulation while its thickness gives great resistance despite the distance between supports. It is finished with a perimeter gutter which is designed with curved wing gives a stylish look and well finished.

The glazing for facades is composed by eight identical modules, formed by a door with 4 sliding panels with a upper fixed, since the height of the outer perimeter is 2.80 Mts. The two panels of the ends are fixed, while two central ones are which open and they are equipped with lock and security key because the system is the only enclosure and entrance to the establishment. Since the establishment is a place of free and public entrance, has been taken into account in addition of the insulation the security, that is what we chose stadip glass both inside and the outside of the space of the glass.

This has created an area of 148 ft2 comfortable and enjoyable for the public to go to taste the specialties of this restaurant located in Argoños (Cantabria)

In this project we want to especially emphasize its design, the feeling of lightness, feel of balance, cleanliness and order forms.

At first glance conveys a feeling of lightness and simplicity of forms, at the same time seems to be in an open space without obstacles, but also the feeling to be indoor, the transparency of glass on the walls and on the roof makes us feel in a bubble.

This new concept in designing the terrace, is achieved with a lighter structure, which have recessed pillars, instead of at the ends as the classic form. Thus a more balanced distribution of loads where part of the cantilever beam counteracts the possible arrow beam section between pillars and reduce the span between supports which makes it more resistant is achieved.

The vertical enclosure is with recessed rail, free angles so that the leaves can turn and parked at the end, in addition the system gives a clean image due to all the corners are all glass image 90º. The roof is our mobile roof TM-120, with laminar security glass panel, 75% open, motorized with remote control. The front gutter, makes the system perfect and smartly finished off.

The installation on site is very easy and quick, just open the gap in the floor in order to insert the floor rail recessed, the other elements simply screw and sealed to the existing walls. This project has added an extra room for the space they already had and that was enough, now with 5.50 X 4.00 Mts they have a have a covered and protected space to accommodate family and guests area
