What Is a Terrace Enclosure and How Does It Work?
Enclosing a terrace means closing a terrace or balcony with glass, guillotine glass or pergola systems so it can be used in all four seasons. It is not a single product but a family of solutions chosen to suit the need.
There are three main approaches: pergola systems that cover only the top, glass systems that close the sides, and full enclosures combining the two. If thermal insulation is wanted, the solution becomes a winter garden. Closing the sides of an existing pergola later is possible in most cases.
Systems That Cover the Top
Bioclimatic pergola, rolling roof and motorised pergola awning. All give shade and rain protection; which one fits depends on whether the sky should open and on the budget.
- Bioclimatic pergola: rotating louvres, watertight when closed
- Rolling roof: louvres slide aside, the sky opens completely
- Motorised awning: fabric cover, the most economical shading
Systems That Close the Sides
Guillotine glass, sliding glass and zip screens. If it is only wind you want to stop, a zip screen is enough; if the space is to be heated in winter, glass systems are required.
Full Enclosure and Insulation
When roof cover and side enclosure are planned together, the space is usable all year. If thermal insulation is wanted too, the solution becomes a winter garden.
Which solution fits your terrace?
During the free survey we work through the three scenarios together and settle on the system that fits your budget.

Choosing the Right System Sets the Cost
If you only want shade and rain protection, a bioclimatic pergola is enough; if wind is also to be stopped, a zip screen is added; if the space is used in winter, glass systems or a winter garden are needed. We work through these three scenarios together during the survey.
Can the sides of my existing pergola be closed?
In most cases yes, but the load-bearing sections and connection points of the existing structure have to be examined. A zip screen is the easiest addition; glass systems demand a stronger structure. We assess the existing structure free of charge during the survey.
- Shade and rain only: bioclimatic pergola or motorised awning
- The sky should open completely: rolling roof
- Stop wind and sun without glass: zip screen
- Close the sides with glass: guillotine or sliding glass
- I will heat the space in winter: winter garden
- Side enclosure can be added to an existing pergola later
- Roof cover and side enclosure planned as one project
Free 3D design
You see the system in three dimensions before installation, so colour, column positions and lighting layout are settled in advance.

How Is the Price of a Terrace Enclosure Set?
The price cannot be quoted from a ready list; the chosen system, dimensions, material quality and installation conditions differ in every project. Two installations of the same area can differ several times over in cost purely through the choice of system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Terrace Enclosures
Which system suits a terrace enclosure best?
The choice depends on how you will use the space. If you only want shade and rain protection, a bioclimatic pergola is enough. If wind is also to be stopped, a zip screen is added. If the space is to be heated in winter, guillotine glass, sliding glass or a winter garden is required.
Do I need permission to enclose a terrace?
Whether a permit is required depends on the nature of the structure, the installation, the planning status of the plot and the assessment of the relevant municipality. Demountable pergolas and glass systems usually do not require a permit; if an enclosed, insulated volume is being created, we recommend checking with the municipality.
Is enclosing a balcony the same as enclosing a terrace?
The systems are technically similar but the scale differs. Enclosing a balcony usually needs only a glass system; a terrace also needs a roof cover. On balconies, guillotine glass and sliding glass are the most common solutions.
How long does the work take?
It depends on the system, the dimensions and the ground conditions. A standard glass installation is usually finished in a day; a full enclosure including a pergola in one to two days. The exact duration is stated in the quotation after the survey.
Can the sides of my existing pergola be closed?
In most cases yes, but the load-bearing sections and connection points of the existing structure have to be examined. A zip screen is the easiest addition; glass systems demand a stronger structure. We assess the existing structure free of charge during the survey.
