Many of us look with kind envy at beautifully decorated balconies with floor-to-ceiling glass. Such glazing does not prevent light from penetrating into the room and it is very pleasant to go there - the view becomes simply huge!
Panoramic glazing of the balcony will push back its obsolete use,
as a kind of pantry where you can demolish the old junk. It will also give your home extra space, and make the apartment cozy and modern. By the way, panoramic glazing with a profile practically does not require repair, as 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 windows
Panoramic glazing is used not only for balconies, but also for loggias and rooms. It is only necessary to properly take care that in summer the room, due to the excess of the sun falling into it, would not be too hot, and in winter, on the contrary, it is cold. Glass generally does not hold heat well.
This problem is now solved with a special coating ofmetal oxide for panoramic glass, which reflects heat without letting it disappear. And from
roller shutters or blinds will help out the burning sun, creating a cool shade in the biggest heat. To improve the microclimate in the room, special opening structures are also used.
A rather high level of safety in glazing is created by the thickness of the glasses (6-8 mm) that have undergone special heat treatment. Even if accidentally broken, such glass does not crumble into fragments, as 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 an inert gas that prevents heat loss, and the use of a plastic frame that prevents the formation of a cold bridge. For the installation of such glasses, reinforced profiles and insulation are used, which reduce heat transfer and secure the use of panoramic glass even under extreme wind loads.
Panoramic glazing of a loggia or balconies provides excellent sound insulation by filling the double-glazed window with argon, when using laminated glass, as well as with additional overlays on the profile and sealing the glass.
There are also glazing systems that are able to follow any contours and bypass any corners due to the fact that they consist of free segments.
Panoramic windows are installed only by specialists
Shouldremember that panoramic glazing requires the work of only highly qualified specialists who will be able to correctly and accurately perform this task:
- It is necessary that the vertical canvases be installed strictly in level.
- Due to the difficulties in installing panoramic windows, as a rule, 2 teams of installers take part in the work.
- If one of the double-glazed windows is damaged, almost the entire structure will have to be disassembled.
Recently, the most popular is still a frameless method of glazing. It is versatile and can easily be turned into a cozy place for your holiday. This method is based on the use of rollers that help the doors move, or other convenient ways to open the glass.
Good luck in choosing panoramic glazing options that will add comfort to your home!
