Flat-roofed conservatory

Incorporating a conservatory as an extension to a house with a flat roof

Contemporary conservatories with bold architecture

The flat-roof extension is a design solution that is as aesthetic as it is functional for your home. Attached to the house or separate to create an outbuilding, it allows you to improve your comfort and optimise the use of your space thanks to innovative and original processes. This type of project fits in perfectly with the specific features of a custom-made conservatory.

The LOFT model

AKENA presents its flat-roof extension model called LOFT. Its straight lines with a flat-roof effect match the architecture of contemporary constructions such as houses with flat roofs. In the LOFT A+ version, this model benefits from a reduced wall footprint and an insulation coefficient above the standards validated within the framework of the RE2020 regulations.

The performance level of the glazing and roofing

The composition of the conservatory also involves the choice of roof and front fillings.

  • For the roof, different materials, more or less opaque and insulating, are available.
  • For the front, several double glazing options are available, with different levels of insulation, or more or less resistant to impact.

The flat-roofed conservatory, practical and aesthetic advantages

From the outside, a flat-roofed extension gives a very contemporary look that blends in with the architecture of your home. The geometric shapes offer a special and original character that can forge the identity of your home. Depending on the configuration of your land, it can be installed on the side of the house or be adjacent to the garden and the terrace. In order to mitigate the rectilinear silhouette of the installation, the presence of fixed glass walls or sliding windows also respects the codes of a so-called ‘classic’ conservatory.

Beyond its innovative aesthetic aspect, the extension of a house with a flat roof gives you the opportunity to approach your living spaces differently. On the ground floor, the layout of the premises allows you to have a room in its own right. This gives you a new space in which to relax and receive your guests.

The whole area can be fitted with a lighting system, including LED spotlights, to minimise the opacity of the panels. It is also possible to create a skylight in the centre of the conservatory with Sageglass filling to enjoy natural light and make your skylight opaque as you wish.

The customisable features of an extension to a house with a flat roof

A flat-roofed extension is just as flexible as a pitched model. Inside, panelling can be installed to enhance the appearance of your conservatory. Additions that respect your decorating style. Depending on the intended use of your new living space, the number of openings facilitates access from the terrace or garden.

On the ground floor, the flat-roofed conservatory offers several possibilities for conversion. It can be used to create a functional room, such as a kitchen or office. For relaxation, a lounge, play area and wellness area are all solutions to enhance your daily life. For example, adding a jacuzzi or a high-tech installation. This type of extension is also ideal for organising receptions or entertaining guests. As a dining room or an annex room, it offers a very pleasant reception area. From the floor space to the constraints of the land, the flat-roofed extension can be used for any purpose you wish.

In order to preserve the integrity of the structure, a flat-roofed house extension nevertheless has a slight slope. This feature ensures the proper flow of water and prevents it from stagnating on the upper surface. Otherwise, the accumulation and additional weight could weaken or even damage the structure. Another notable feature is that this type of conservatory remains completely waterproof, not only in terms of the glazing but also the roof. This protects your room from moisture and condensation problems. This conservatory model can also be fitted with a heating system, either primary or secondary, to ensure your comfort inside.
