My outdoor patio

Having an outdoor space when choosing a home is most often an essential need. Among the many names for an outdoor area, there is one form of secret corner that could be an extra room: the patio.

The patio offers an out of sight, intimate and charming setting. With many advantages, the patio does not let the gusts of wind pass through and it provides a quiet space to relax.

The architecture of the patio is an excellent form of added value for a home.

The shortcomings of the patio

When you decide to create a patio in a renovation project or to have one in a future home, you have to think of everything. The patio must be created in a harmonious and balanced way with good proportions in order to become a pleasant space to live.

These conditions, if not respected, could result in a badly thought-out project and a dwelling that would be cut off from natural light. The structure of a patio must therefore be thought out in order to allow a maximum of light to enter the rooms of the dwelling.

A patio of light

If the patio does not yet exist and it is a future project for you, it is important to seek advice from architects. These professionals will be able to virtualise the rays of light according to the layout and orientation of your home and then make the best choice of construction for the patio.

If the patio already exists, Espaciel has the solution: the Solar Patio Reflector. It allows the sun’s rays to reach homes that do not normally receive light. It can be installed in less than 10 minutes using a simple and secure fixing system.

For even more light and well-being, the Solar Patio Reflector can be combined with other reflectors in the Espaciel range.
