WINTER GARDENS IN ALANYA

A winter garden is a terrace or veranda enclosed in glass on all sides and overhead, which you can use at any time of year. In Alanya they are most often built at villas and garden flats: in winter the space is warm and bright, and in summer the glass walls slide open so it becomes an open space again.

Why a winter garden in a warm climate

The Mediterranean winter is mild but rainy and windy, and an ordinary terrace turns into unused space for several months. A winter garden extends the season: you can have breakfast there in January, grow plants and entertain guests regardless of the weather.

A winter garden also adds usable floor space to your home without major construction — one more room with a view, which noticeably increases a villa's appeal.

What the structure is made of

• Walls — sliding aluminium (from €130/m²), REHAU, VEKA or KBE PVC windows (from €140/m²) for a thermally insulated envelope, or a frameless system (from €160/m²).
• Garden exit — an HS lift-and-slide door (from €135/m²) with wide sashes.
• Roof — a retractable roof (from €180/m²) that can be opened on a sunny day.
• Sun protection — blinds (from €30/m²), curtains (from €50/m²), roller shutters (€120/m²).

Overheating in summer: how to avoid it

The main mistake is building a winter garden as a fully enclosed greenhouse. Under the southern sun, such a room overheats in summer. That is why we design in sliding walls, an opening roof and sun protection: in summer the structure works as a shaded terrace, in winter as a warm glazed room.

Ventilation matters too: even on cool days, temperature and humidity build up quickly under glass, especially if the winter garden is full of plants. Opening vents on opposite sides create cross-ventilation, and a ceiling fan helps circulate the air. We plan all of this in advance so the structure is comfortable in every season.

Cost

A winter garden is assembled from several systems, and its final price depends on the area and the type of walls and roof. So we will calculate the overall price after the survey; for guidance, see the prices of the individual systems above and our online calculator. The survey and design are free.

Plants, furniture and microclimate

A winter garden in Alanya is a great place for plants that dislike direct scorching sun and cold winter winds: potted citrus, orchids, palms. To keep them happy, allow for ventilation and partial shading.

Choose furniture that resists UV and humidity: rattan, teak, aluminium, outdoor fabrics. Lighting and sockets are best planned before the glazing goes in, so cables do not have to be run across the glass. At the design stage we will advise where to leave room for services and how to position the opening sashes so the air circulates evenly.

Where we build winter gardens

Most often on the terraces of private houses and villas, as well as ground-floor flats with a garden.
