In that case you you need a conservatory ? Mine was laid on Indian sandstone patio slabs which are an even texture. The small amount of water that we get in isn't an issue . Just had gale force winds and massive amounts of rain and had a small amount come in. Don't let it put you off...unless you want a watertight conservatory. enjoy the weekend 😁
If installed and sealed correctly nothing should be leaking or feel damp with these sunrooms. Although the stone tiles look great in this vid, stone is highly porous and is not recommended as water/damp is easily transferred through the stone slabs and grout lines. Porcelain and Ceramic are much better floor covering options for sunroom/wintergardens and you can get a watertight, well insulated room if the floor and outbuilding is fitted at the same time, not installing straight on top of the floor.
So we got one of these fitted and find in the winter a lot of condensation. Do you have this issue? I'm thinking should we have put a damp proof membrane under our patio before laying it to help with rising damp.
Had ours 4 years and yes condensation from about now, this time of year, as it gets colder . Not sure if anything will stop this as the glass with its single pane won’t keep the cold out, so any warm air inside will condense on the cold glass . Not really any big problem for us . You get use to it .
@gsd32i thanks for the reply so fast. Last night I bought a decent dehumidifier and hoping that will help a lot. Too late now but for anyone else I'd probably say if you're laying a new patio, get a DPM installed underneath.
Hi, having watched all of your Weinor videos, we finally committed and purchased one to fit into an internal corner between our kitchen extension and our lounge. Our glass room is a touch smaller than your own, but still cost over £16K. Frustratingly we are still waiting for the installation guys to return to fit all of the trims, 5 weeks now. This is due to Weinor in Germany making a mistake and sending all of the trims at a 30mm depth when we required 40mm throughout - hence it's still very drafty!... So my question to you is, how is your silicon mastic holding up? I believe that you have only siliconed the inside trims to the walls and floors so far. I'm thinking of sealing both the inside and outside but do you think I'll be wasting my time and money doing the outside? Sorry to hear of your latest niggles with the Weinor accessories but very interested as your build is over a year ahead of ours. As our glass room is north facing, I opted for no extras besides the glazing brush strips and a key operated cylinder lock (which is still on order...) but have had a Daikin 3.5Kw air-con installed and once the trims are on I'll fit a couple of LED lighting tracks.
Outside sealant and the inside were done by a professional sealant company with no issues . I did think of doing all inside and outside but decided against that incase I needed access to the inside vertical infill panels scribed against my granite wall , electric cables etc . I didn’t do the outside along the base purely because I wanted any water to be able to exit and not pool under the base rail/track. On one of the vertical corners (tv end) I have run some black sealant from top to bottom as there was a small gap between the corner upright and the vertical upright which the glass panel slides shut into , which when it rained very hard from that direction caused a bit of pooling of water in that corner as it got in through the very small vertical gap ( make sense ?) as I am a bit ocd I try to keep as much of the damp stuff out …. But like I have said it’s a sunroom that keeps the wind and rain out (mostly) and it’s not a conservatory. I also call it my snooze room ! Enjoy 😉
@@gsd32i Thank you for taking the time out to answer my queries, it's much appreciated and has given me somethings to consider when the trims are finally fitted.
Hi, struggling to understand the costs for these things. You mentioned yours cost around £16k and was a touch smaller than the one in the video, did that include installation? The bit I really don't understand is if the one in the vid was only a touch larger, how did it cost so much more at over £30k?! Thanks
Hi. The sunroom has been up for over 3 years and last week was covered in snow. No issues with the roof or anything else tbh. Cleaning the glass and getting rid of the cobwebs are the 2 items that I have to deal with, as and when I can be bothered to do it! 😂
Thank you. The possibility of leaking has put me off. Very informative video.

Only a 12 month warranty!! 😮 Some competitors offer 10 year ones…

@ no problem. I’m not a builder, but in the colder Uk months, I am not sure if a DPM would do much ref condensation . 👍

Thankyou for this, how much Roughly was your glass room?
Hi . My sunroom is 5.5mx3.5 It was over 30k . They aren’t cheap !
Awesome video thanks 🙏
actually i have a question for your glass patio.......how durable are the roof glass

Do we need council permission to get one installed as it almost looks like a conservatory
Not where I live. It is the best addition we have added to the house. our dogs and cats especially like it. 👍
tubular motors mostly come with 5 year warranty
Does any US manufacturer make this style?
Not sure .
