Things to check for an Albert Genau winter garden: at least 15 m², glass roof slope of at least 15%, gasket care, an air conditioner against moisture and regular servicing. Price depends on size, glass, side system and shading; we do not quote without measuring.
Short answer
People searching "Albert Genau winter garden" usually want to know what to check and what drives the price. SkyArt Group, an authorised Albert Genau manufacturing dealer, builds winter gardens in Istanbul with its own team (we are not the official Albert Genau body). Below are the points we have learned on site. We do not give price figures, because every winter garden differs by size and choices.
8 checks before deciding
| Topic | What to know |
|---|---|
| Size | At least 15 m²; smaller areas are priced as 15 m². Cost per m² falls as the area grows |
| Structure | 100 × 160 mm aluminium profile; all aluminium |
| Glass roof slope | At least 15% |
| Time | Production and installation average 25–30 days; delivered within a month |
| Floor | Prepared by the customer; we set the post positions (decking or micro-concrete) |
| Orientation | Not important; Sky Zip is added to the roof against summer heat |
| Moisture | Dehumidifying air conditioner for heating; we do not recommend stoves or infrared |
| Gaskets | Glass panel gaskets fail in about 2 years; regular care is essential |
1. Size and the m² logic
A winter garden needs at least 15 m²; the upper limit depends on the site. See how many m² should a winter garden be?
2. Roof: glass and gaskets
The glass roof needs a slope of at least 15%. On glass-panel roofs the gasket hardens from weather, sun and hot–cold swings, and fails in about 2 years; no glass-panel roof type avoids this. Ongoing servicing and gasket replacement are needed. See winter garden leaking.
3. Summer heat and moisture
If summer heat is a problem, the answer is a Sky Zip blind under the roof. Winter condensation needs dehumidifying: use a dehumidifying air conditioner (how to heat a winter garden).
4. Side facade
Depending on budget, thermally insulated profile or single glass can be used; we recommend the insulated profile. For guillotine, sliding or folding glass see winter garden models.
What does the price depend on?
- Total area, facade length and number of corners
- Glass type and roof choice
- Side system (sliding, folding, guillotine)
- Shading (Sky Zip) and heating/air-conditioning plan
All factors: what winter garden prices depend on.
Warranty, care and permits
