Many of us look with envy at beautifully designed balconies with glass to the floor. Such glazing does not interfere with light penetrating into the room and it is very pleasant to go out there - the view becomes simply huge!
Panoramic balcony glazing put aside its obsolete use,
as a kind of storage room where you can take down the old junk. It will also give your housing additional space, and the apartment will make it cozy and modern. By the way, panoramic profile glazing practically does not require repair, since it is very durable. One of the advantages that this type of glazing has is its excellent sound insulation.
Features of the safe use of panoramic glasses
Panoramic glazing is used not only for balconies, but also for loggias, and for rooms. You just need to make sure that in the summer, indoors, due to the excess of the sun falling into it, it would not be too hot, and in winter, on the contrary, it would be cold. Glass, as a rule, does not hold temperature well.
This problem is now being solved with a special coating of metal oxide for panoramic glass, which reflects heat, preventing it from disappearing. And from
Rolling shutters or shutters will help the burning sun, creating a cool shadow in the greatest heat. To improve the microclimate in the room, special opening structures are also used.
A rather high level of safety during glazing is created by the thickness of the glasses (6-8 mm) that have undergone special heat treatment. Even accidentally breaking, such glass does not crumble into fragments, since it is covered with a protective film that holds them in place.
How to observe the preservation of sound or thermal insulation
Panoramic glazing involves the use of double-glazed windows filled with inert gas, which interferes with the loss of heat, and the use of a plastic frame that interferes with the formation of a cold bridge. For the installation of such glasses, reinforced profiles and heaters are used, which can reduce heat transfer and secure the use of panoramic glass even under extreme wind loads.
Panoramic glazing of the loggia or balconies gives excellent sound insulation by filling the glass with argon, using laminated glass, as well as with additional overlays on the profile and sealing the glass.
There are also glazing systems that can repeat any contours and go around any angles due to the fact that they consist of free segments.
Only panoramic windows are installed.
It should be remembered that panoramic glazing requires the work of only highly qualified specialists who are able to correctly and accurately complete this task:
- It is imperative that the vertical webs are installed strictly in level.
- Due to difficulties in the installation of panoramic glasses, as a rule, 2 teams of installers take part in the work.
- If one of the double-glazed windows is damaged, it will be necessary to disassemble almost the entire structure.
Recently, the most popular is still frameless glazing. It is universal and can easily be turned into a cozy place for your relaxation. This method is based on the use of rollers that help the wings to move, or other convenient ways to open the glass.
Good luck in choosing panoramic glazing options that will add coziness to your home!
