FENETRE Systems — Insect Screen and Pleated Blind Systems

Winter Garden Curtain

Curtain in a winter garden: screen or vertical on the side glazing, the ceiling blind overhead; condensation condition observed.

Winter Garden Curtain Analysis

The winter garden is two planes: the side glazing and the overhead glass. On the side the screen filters the sun and preserves the garden view, the vertical manages the wide band; overhead only the ceiling blind works — free fabric sags on the horizontal plane. The condensation condition determines the fabric choice.

Two Planes

The side and the overhead glazing ask separate types; a single system is not enough.

Greenhouse Effect

In summer the glass shell’s heat load is real.

Condensation

In winter the glass vapour determines the fabric choice.

Curtain Type Selection for Winter Garden Curtain

Ceiling Blind

Suitable

The only solution of the overhead glazing; it works tensioned on the horizontal.

Plane distinction on the glass shell

The winter garden asks two planes: on the side glazing screen/vertical manages the light, overhead the ceiling blind works on the horizontal. Free fabric sags on the overhead plane — a tensioned system is a must.

The condensation season determines the fabric choice; in a ventilated volume the condition decreases.

Application Notes

Mounting & Selection for Winter Garden Curtain

Overhead Plane

On the horizontal only the ceiling blind works.
