Does a terrace roof take away a lot of light in the living room?

Our canopy is 6 meters wide and 4 meters deep. Clear glass. Absolutely does not block any light. Would always choose as wide and deep as possible.

Light is relevant to health. I would lose far too much light, therefore I would prefer a movable roofing solution at this spot. This way, light enters the room when the roofing is not in use - and that will be most of the time throughout the year.

It depends on whether the conditions are suitable. It's windy all the time where we are. In other words, no way for an awning.

Even though that is not the topic at all, there is also something in between. For example, Markilux Pergola and comparable products. But it would be better to do without the satin glass. With clear glass, you really cannot speak of a light eater.

Sitting with us right now in the living room. The clear glass roof actually doesn’t take away any light at all. Only the awning that is currently extended.

No window on the left side of the dining area? I would then place the terrace roof to the left.

Then the neighbor would watch us too much in the evening and watch us while we watch TV. We don’t want that.

Clear glass is not an option for us. I see how it looks at my parents’ place. And I don’t want to be forced to clean regularly.

An awning or something similar is not an option. I want to stand at the Weber grill all year round, etc., and it should always stay there...

I think we will accept the longer way from the kitchen and start the 5m wide terrace on the right side of the house.

Whether the living room lacks some light or not doesn’t matter that much. You only stay there in the evening anyway...
