“Enjoy a relaxing getaway for the soul”—that’s the motto at Landhotel Rügheim in beautiful, idyllic Franconia.
The spacious, park-like property, nestled in a natural landscape, gave the owner
the opportunity to build a stunning conservatory at her hotel.
Multifunctional
This heated and air-conditioned conservatory, spanning over 160 square meters, offers a wide range of uses thanks to its flexible, transparent, and sound-absorbing partition walls. The light-filled spaces are ideal for seminars and weddings, and can also serve as a beer garden or breakfast area.
The conservatory quickly helped boost the popularity of the hotel and its outdoor facilities.
EcoSun technology
Naturally, highly insulated profiles (Uf values of up to 0.8 W/m²K) were used in combination with triple-pane insulated glass units with Ug values of 0.5 W/m²K.
In addition, large-format roof-mounted lift-and-slide windows were installed for ventilation.
Of course, exterior shading is also a must.
As a result, the EcoSun conservatory offers a cozy retreat at any time of day or year.
Despite its very large dimensions of approximately 23 x 7 x 4.5 m (W x D x H), the conservatory is exceptionally sturdy thanks to its unique self-supporting welded mullion-transom construction (EcoSun system) (wall thicknesses up to 10 mm) yet remains elegant (60 mm face widths) and offers a high-quality, modern ambiance.
Assembly of the hotel conservatory
The initial situation at the start of assembly.
The triple-glazed panels, measuring 100 x 330 cm, were lifted into place by crane onto the welded aluminum roof structure.
Planning, production, assembly and certification
The construction of this conservatory was made possible not only by the professional expertise and accreditation of our employees and the company, but also with the support of our in-house engineers, structural engineers, and designers, who are capable of planning such projects in full compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, guidelines, etc.
The subsequent manufacturing and assembly are carried out by our experienced and dedicated specialists.
The high degree of prefabrication at our facility made it possible to keep assembly times to a minimum.
“Working with Sunshine was extremely professional and pleasant. The constant and close exchange of information was exemplary and culminated in a smooth installation by the highly competent and friendly installation team.”
