Hello everyone,
we have an end-terrace house with a garden facing southwest and are currently planning to roof the terrace. The terrace is 6x3.2m.
The neighbor has agreed to a roof on the condition that it is one meter away from his property and a maximum of 3m deep. The roof would therefore have a size of approximately 5x3m.
Another condition is that we use clear real glass so that the roof does not block any light.
My question now is whether clear polycarbonate lets through just as much light as clear glass? Possibly I could argue that way.
Several neighbors also told me that there is polycarbonate with heat protection while clear glass heats up quite a bit and then requires an additional awning.
Maybe someone can share their experience with me, especially regarding cleaning, appearance, or any other advantages and disadvantages.
Thank you very much in advance!
