Panoramic glazing

Of course, the solution to panoramic windows in the apartment, the windows of which go to the landfill or the neighboring house, will be wrong. But the panoramic glazing of cottages located on the seashore or on the outskirts of the forest, will give the interior of the room a fantastic effect.

But still, the view that opens from the window is just one of the factors affecting the decision to install the "French" windows. After all, this version of the glazing, in addition to the advantages, also has significant drawbacks.

Panoramic glazing - the pros and cons

Many owners of luxury apartments with a beautiful panoramic view from windows to the city or specific attractions set up "French" windows to maintain a certain status. But it also allows them to create a truly unique interior design. Because the view from the window in each apartment is very different.

In addition to the excellent panoramic view, opening from the windows from floor to ceiling, the "French" windows make it lighter, and therefore visually more spacious, any room. This is especially true for small apartments, where a balcony attached to the room with panoramic glass creates a festive and cheerful atmosphere in the house. And this, according to experts, has an extremely beneficial effect on the nervous system of the tenants of the house.

Also, the panoramic glazing of winter gardens for plants in the winter season is especially important with a decrease in the level of natural light. But for greenhouses only "warm" glazing is suitable.

However, in the presence of all the above-mentioned advantages, panoramic glazing has one, but very significant drawback - this is a very high cost of glazing. Very often the budget of the "French" window exceeds the cost of overhauling the entire apartment. And it is caused by the following reasons:

• In summer, glass must withstand excess sunlight, and in winter prevent heat loss. Therefore for panoramic glazing there are used tinted, reflective, mirror or able to change the level of light reflection of glass. In addition, to ensure the appropriate level of security for the tenants of the house, it is necessary to install tempered, laminated or reinforced glass for "French" windows;
• at strong frosts of a glass freeze, that leads to formation of an ice wall instead of a panoramic kind. To solve this problem on both sides of the window opening high vertical panel radiators are installed;
• kitchen with panoramic glass, to avoid the formation of condensation on the windows, must be equipped with an outdoor slotted convector;
• The impressive height of glass structures does not allow them to independently care for them, especially from the outside. Therefore, in the process of operation, the owners of apartments with panoramic glazing are forced to resort to the services of specialists in this field;
• panoramic glazing of loggias in multi-storey houses, according to the current legislation, requires agreement with the relevant architectural authorities.

Thus, the installation of glasses with special protective properties, the purchase of additional equipment, obtaining permits and further operation make the panoramic glazing of the veranda , balcony and loggia quite costly. In addition, in order to get an excellent overview, fill the room with light and emphasize the merits of the interior, it is necessary to prepare an appropriate project taking into account the location of the house, the angle of the sun's fall, etc. And you will also have to pay specialists for this.
