Cork Beg Coffee sits right on the water in Whitegate, looking out over Cork Harbour. The view is the whole point, but the weather off the harbour can turn quickly. They wanted somewhere customers could sit in comfort all year, without losing the view.

What we fitted

  • Model: Pinela Glass, our aluminium glass room with a glass roof.
  • Size: 6m wide by 3m deep, freestanding on the café’s terrace.
  • Walls: frameless glass sliding panels on all four sides: two 6m runs and two 3m runs, 2.3m high.
  • Frame: black aluminium, to match the café’s black cabin.

How it works for the café

On a good day the glass slides back and the room is open to the terrace. When the wind picks up, it closes fully, and customers still have the full harbour view through the glass roof and walls. There are no solid walls anywhere, so it doesn’t block the view for the tables outside.

How the job ran

Our Cork team from the Charleville showroom visited the site, measured up and gave a fixed quote. The room was made to measure, and our own fitting team installed it on the existing concrete terrace.

Thinking of something similar?

We fit glass rooms, verandas and louvred roof pergolas for homes and businesses across Cork, Kerry, Limerick and the rest of Munster. Every one is made to measure. If you’re unsure about planning for your site, check with your local council before you order.
