What type of terrace to choose in Geneva?

The material of a terrace must combine comfort of use and resistance to both Geneva's winters and summers. From warm wooden planks to easy-to-maintain tiles, through stone and composite, Avenir Rénovations deciphers the advantages of each solution to find the one that fits your lifestyle.

Building a wooden or composite terrace

Wood appeals with its natural charm and authentic warmth. It creates a friendly atmosphere that invites relaxation and rest. This living material ages elegantly if it receives regular maintenance. At Avenir Rénovations, our building professionals install a wooden terrace by prioritizing the most durable species and high-quality planks. With appropriate treatment and regular protection, wood withstands the whims of the weather very well without warping.

By combining wood fibers and resin, composite offers the charm of wood without the maintenance hassle. A composite terrace naturally resists the elements as well as pests and remains stable over time. This is a decidedly modern solution that our company can offer for the construction of your terrace in Geneva.

Installing a tiled or stone terrace

Ideal for brightening up an outdoor space, tiling appeals with its wide variety of styles. The ceramic tiles now perfectly imitate wood, concrete, or stone, allowing complete freedom to personalize the area. In daily use, a tiled terrace provides a robust surface that withstands repeated foot traffic and can be cleaned with a simple sweep or water jet. At Avenir Rénovations, our teams ensure careful installation with well-thought-out drainage slopes, guaranteeing the longevity of your terrace.

A noble material par excellence, natural stone adds an inimitable character to the garden. Granite, schist, or blue stone, each slab displays its own nuances, veining, and textures, making each layout unique. In addition to offering excellent resistance to wear and frost, it patinas over the years without ever losing its splendor. Entrusted to Avenir Rénovations, the installation of a natural stone terrace durably enhances your entire property.

How to prepare for the construction of a terrace?

The strength of a terrace primarily depends on its foundation. Leveling, drainage, compaction: our teams carefully prepare the ground to ensure you have a stable structure that will not shift over the seasons.

The supporting ground must be perfectly leveled and compacted according to standards. In Geneva, our building professionals conduct a complete diagnosis of your soil. They identify soft areas or anomalies that could compromise your project. Excavation removes debris and creates a stable surface. The base structures and foundation slabs are sized according to the measurements taken on site. A geotextile or a layer of fine gravel also ensures good drainage. This meticulous preparation lays the solid foundations for a terrace that will last for decades.

Stagnant water prematurely destroys a terrace. A slight slope of 1 to 2% directs rainwater outward. At Avenir Rénovations, our experts calculate this slope based on the exact morphology of your land. A proper drainage system protects your foundations and significantly extends the lifespan of the covering. This attention to water management differentiates sustainable projects from shoddy installations.
