garfunkel29 Apr 2018 23:08I’m considering having a panoramic roof window installed. The dimensions would be approximately 3–4 m (10–13 feet) wide and about 3 m (10 feet) long.
Below it, there would be a kind of conservatory. A glass wall should be installed connecting it to the adjacent rooms. The roof window itself would be equipped with all the features you might need.
I’m curious about the cost of a premium version... External blinds, excellent sound insulation, top thermal insulation, electrically operated “of course,” aluminum frame (seems to be the only reasonable option). Possibly solar control glazing, rain sensor, ventilation function.
I’m thinking about installing the external blind in such a way that I can still open the window to ventilate even when it’s raining. This would mean the blind needs to be positioned a few centimeters above the window—likely not a big problem?
The glass walls facing the other rooms probably don’t need to meet high specifications, as they are considered interior walls. This means the roof window and the space below it are actual living areas, not a balcony. The glass wall is therefore “only” for letting light into the adjacent rooms and for dividing the space.
For the floor, I would still apply a generous layer of liquid waterproofing and then install floating tiles. If water does get in, hopefully, it will remain contained in this waterproof layer.
I could also connect the conservatory to the central heating system.
Does anyone have something similar or just a large roof window?
What would you recommend for sun protection in summer and thermal insulation in winter?
How durable are the motors for large roof windows, and what about the blinds?
Are these generally reliable systems you can trust?
For example, rain sensors and solar protection with external blinds.
Any general experience with large roof windows?
Personally, I’ve only encountered roof windows with 1980s technology, so I’m a bit skeptical...
To help visualize what I roughly have in mind, just imagine glass walls around the roof window in the living area.

I think your window installer is currently googling what time the Porsche center opens :-)

Which film is used to prevent this while also providing privacy?
Ideally, the light reduction should only have an upper limit and otherwise let through as much light as possible.
Is this kind of solution already available?
Edit: I know it will cost money, but I can’t think of a better idea 🙂
