Handsome and unusual house- a dream that many aspire to. One of the options to make your home different from others is to use panoramic windows. House with panoramic windows looks different. Even simple in architecture, it is unusual, and if there are also unusual details, it is clearly driven in from the general range.
What is panoramic glazing
Panoramic windows are windows that occupy a large area and, as a rule, occupy the entire space from floor to ceiling in height. This type of glazing requires accurate calculation and well thought out design solution. Large windows are a large window flight, which means you need a powerful beam that will serve as a support for the roof and walls of the second or third floor (if any).
Standard solutions when designing houses with large windows are practically inapplicable, since each case is unique and requires its own solution. Each house with panoramic windows is individual project and it costs a lot of money.
If there is no opportunity to order an individual project, you may be able to find a ready-made one that basically suits you. It is better to use it in its entirety, without major changes. You can only make adjustments that do not affect the supporting structure. You can only change the position of non-load-bearing partitions. It is undesirable to touch even the position of doors and windows in load-bearing structures without recalculation - aftereffects can be unpredictable.
Features, advantages and disadvantages
The house with panoramic windows looks unusual and stylish. And this is exactly what attracts in such buildings. So a memorable view is the first of the advantages.
Where can you see
In private houses, panoramic glazing is done in living rooms, less often in bedrooms. Sometimes this way open veranda they turn it into a covered one, sometimes they make it out of the room winter Garden. Another possible application is to make one of the walls of the pool glass. In general, there are many applications and they are non-standard and interesting.

Advantages and disadvantages

In general, there are both advantages and disadvantages of panoramic glazing in the house.

House with panoramic windows: features
There are also some features that are neither advantages nor disadvantages. Firstly, glass in panoramic windows can be with imposts (beams) or without. Floor-to-ceiling solid glass looks stylish, but is expensive, as it is subject to increased requirements.
Divided windows look different, but no worse. The cost of such panoramic glazing is lower, but other windows (of normal size) should also support the division into parts by imposts. It's worth remembering.
When planning a site, a house with panoramic windows in our latitudes is recommended to be located so that a large glazing area faces south with an accuracy of ± 30 °. In this case, it will be light and warm in the adjacent room. But there is another minus - the walls, floor, furniture will burn out. One way out is to choose colors in which the loss of color is not so noticeable. The second way out is to turn the house so that the panoramic windows face east or west. This is an acceptable position in which there is enough light, and it does not pour through the windows all day. In general, it's up to you.
In order to winter time there was no coldness from the windows, heating devices are placed under them, which create thermal curtain. You cannot install traditional radiators here, but you can install built-in (floor) radiators or convectors. They can be electric or part of a water heating system, but their installation is a complicated thing, and the price for them is considerable.
Types of panoramic windows
Panoramic windows are of two types: cold and warm. Cold glazing is used on unheated balconies, loggias, terraces. They are framed or frameless. Frameless are simply thick glasses of a certain size that fit snugly against each other. Panoramic glazing with frames is what we are used to. Wooden or plastic frame in which glass is inserted. But cold glazing is rarely installed, windows that can protect from cold and heat are used much more often.
Most often today they put plastic or metal plastic windows. Depending on the climate, you can choose the required number of cameras, the type of glass (tinted, mirror-coated, energy-saving, reinforced and even armored). As a result, with proper installation, you can get windows that, in terms of their thermal characteristics, are no worse than adjacent walls.
A house with panoramic windows can have windows with different type opening:
using doors various ways opening, you can achieve the functionality that you need. Wooden houses with panoramic windows are rare. The fact is that wood is constantly changing dimensions and regular windows put in special casing boxes that compensate for this movement. If the window area is very large, this can be problematic. If a solution is found, you can install wooden or plastic windows. And so that white plastic does not look alien, they put frames laminated with a film that imitates wood.

When choosing a glazed facade, the correct “landing” of the house is of great importance - its binding to the cardinal points. This largely depends on the surrounding landscape, which the future owners want to admire. And yet, walls facing south, southeast, southwest often make transparent. This improves insolation and space heating.
The quality of materials depends on the climate zone. The design must provide the required level of heat transfer, sound insulation, for which a technical calculation is carried out. Accordingly are selected optimal parameters thickness of double-glazed windows (number of chambers), profile (aluminum, plastic, wood), energy-saving glass.
To ensure security, there must be reliable key locks, a burglary protection system from the outside, and security measures from the inside - even a child can open some systems with very heavy doors.
In order for the glazed structure to be reliable, additional reinforcement is provided during the installation of walls. metal frame. The internal "stuffing" is then hidden under decorative overlays, or serves as an element of decor - especially in high-tech style.
Important role opening-closing systems play, which is determined by the purpose of the room (bedroom, living room, veranda, winter garden). Various roller shutters are used, sliding, sliding, tilting guides: "accordion", lifting and sliding portals; multifunctional automatic handles with remote "control".
