Modern architecture no longer treats pools and large public spaces as seasonal amenities. In residential developments, hotels, restaurants, cafés, event venues, and rooftop projects, the goal is clear: to transform open areas into bright, climate-controlled spaces that can be used all year long.
SCHILDR’s Dynamic Retractable Roof and ROOMY Fixed Glass Roof systems are engineered precisely for this purpose. These solutions are not limited to overhead coverage; when combined with fully openable glass façade systems, they create flexible environments that can transition seamlessly between open-air and fully enclosed spaces.
A freestanding structure is a system that stands independently without relying on an existing building for structural support. This approach is especially valuable for:
Both Dynamic Retractable Roof and ROOMY systems can be designed as fully freestanding structures, providing maximum design flexibility while minimizing load transfer to existing buildings. This makes them ideal for both new developments and retrofit projects.
One of the key advantages of these roof systems is their ability to work as part of a complete enclosure concept, not just a roof.
Freestanding roof systems can be combined with:
This integration allows the space to:
The Dynamic Retractable Roof system features a motorized, open-and-close glass roof design that adapts to weather conditions in real time. This is particularly valuable for pool enclosures, where seasonal flexibility is essential.In summer, the roof opens to create an outdoor pool experience. In winter or during adverse weather, the roof closes to protect the space while maintaining daylight and visual openness. This adaptability significantly extends operational months for hotels, spas, and commercial facilities.
The ROOMY Fixed Glass Roof system is designed for projects where maximum durability and minimal mechanical complexity are priorities. With no moving roof components, ROOMY offers exceptional structural stability and long-term reliability.
It is especially well suited for:
ROOMY delivers abundant natural light while ensuring protection from wind, rain, and cold throughout the year.
For projects requiring large clear spans, a steel structural framework can be used as the primary load-bearing system. This structure is engineered according to project-specific wind and snow load requirements and allows wide, uninterrupted spaces.
Once installed, the steel structure can be:
This approach combines structural strength with refined aesthetics.
The glass used in Dynamic Retractable Roof and ROOMY systems is selected for both safety and performance. Available configurations include:
These combinations help minimize condensation, improve indoor comfort, and reduce energy consumption—especially critical in pool and hospitality environments.
While pools are a primary application, these systems are equally effective for:
In rooftop projects, glass roof systems protect the space without sacrificing views, allowing uninterrupted use throughout the year.
Yes. Both Dynamic Retractable Roof and ROOMY systems are designed to safely enclose pools for year-round use.
Yes. The systems can be designed as fully freestanding structures, independent of existing buildings.
Yes. Sliding, bifold, and guillotine glass systems can be integrated to create fully openable façades.
Yes. With proper structural calculations, they are ideal for rooftop restaurants, lounges, and bars.
Yes. When combined with insulated Low-E glass and enclosed façades, the systems are fully suitable for winter use.
No. They are widely used in hospitality, commercial, and public spaces.
Dynamic Retractable Roof and ROOMY Fixed Glass Roof systems are more than roofing solutions. They are complete, freestanding enclosure platforms designed for year-round use. When paired with fully openable glass façades, they transform pools, rooftops, and public spaces into adaptable environments that respond effortlessly to weather, season, and user needs.
If your project requires a four-season enclosure that combines light, flexibility, and structural reliability, these systems are engineered to deliver exactly that.
