FANTANCY HOUSE / FOSHAN · CHINA
Custom Aluminum Sunrooms
A glazed enclosure with a coordinated roof, beams, posts and wall connections. Roof safety glazing, flashings, drainage, ventilation and structural support are selected for the site.
What This System Is
A glazed enclosure with a coordinated roof, beams, posts and wall connections. Roof safety glazing, flashings, drainage, ventilation and structural support are selected for the site.
- Roof span, beam/post arrangement and attachment to the building require coordinated design.
- Glazed or other roof build-up is selected for heat, rain, maintenance and overhead safety.
How the Structure Is Supported
Roof
Glazed or other roof build-up is selected for heat, rain, maintenance and overhead safety.
Glazing
Insulated and safety glazing options differ for walls, doors and roof positions.
Materials & Construction
Configurations are selected for project requirements; specifications vary by system and order.
| Structure | Roof span, beam/post arrangement and attachment to the building require coordinated design. |
|---|---|
| Roof | Glazed or other roof build-up is selected for heat, rain, maintenance and overhead safety. |
| Glazing | Insulated and safety glazing options differ for walls, doors and roof positions. |
| Weathering | Roof-to-wall junctions, flashings, gutters and discharge routes form one water-management detail. |
| Comfort | Shading, ventilation, glass solar control and thermal breaks affect usability. |
| Openings | Sliding, hinged or folding openings are specified independently of the roof structure. |
Configuration Options
Confirm the combination as one ordered assembly.
- Footprint, height, roof form and connection to the existing building.
- Roof glass/build-up, wall glazing and ventilation requirements.
- Local climate, structural loads, drainage and destination.

- Local climate, structural loads, drainage and destination.
Buyer FAQ
Is a sunroom the same as a pergola?
No. The louvered pergolas described here provide adjustable shading rather than an enclosed room. A sunroom is a glazed enclosure with a fixed roof structure; the selected roof build-up may be glazed or another specified construction. Confirm which roof assembly is offered for the project. Glazed roofs need application-appropriate overhead safety glazing, while every roof option needs coordinated structural support, weathering, drainage, thermal design and ventilation.
Does a sunroom need planning permission?
In most markets a glazed extension is a building project with local planning and structural requirements. We supply the system; the permit and structural sign-off are handled locally.
How do you stop it overheating?
Glass specification, ventilation and shading work together: Low-E or solar-control glass, opening vents, and external shading where the orientation demands it. A sunroom without ventilation will overheat in most climates.
Can it be built on an existing terrace?
Yes, if the slab and the wall can take the loads and the anchorage. The base and wall condition are surveyed before the layout is finalised.
