Indeed, large panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows not only require additional costs, but also have some positive properties.

Features of panoramic windows

Projects modern houses With panoramic glazing Now they are practically devoid of the shortcomings that such houses had previously. But not everyone. First of all large glazing always creates the risk of increased heat loss and, as a consequence, high heating costs. But modern window designs have such low thermal conductivity that they can be used to build houses with high energy efficiency.

A designer who has set himself the task of creating designs for houses and cottages with large panoramic windows must know all the nuances and features of the work.

• The main task facing the designer is to correctly orient the building to the cardinal points. Large glazing carries the risk of severe overheating of the room in summer period and lack of heat in winter. For example, if large glazing is directed to the south in the summer, if nothing is done, the room becomes so hot that it is not comfortable to be in it. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to install air conditioners, install blinds and awnings. The same applies to the location of the stained glass panoramic window on the north side. In this case, virtually no direct light enters the room. sunlight, which is why it requires additional heat consumption for heating in winter.
• As already mentioned, the second problem is heat loss. In order to minimize them, double-glazed windows with a large number of chambers are installed and the outer plane of the glass is covered with a special heat-reflecting coating. Projects wooden houses With panoramic windows of our design, this nuance is taken into account.
• Also, don’t forget about one more problem. plastic windows– fogging. Condensation occurs on inner surface at high humidity indoors and low temperatures outside. Even ventilation always saves you from this. In this case prerequisite The creation of panoramic windows involves the installation of heating devices under them - in-floor convectors of various types.

Wooden houses with full-length panoramic windows look very impressive. How nice it is to enjoy charming view own plot, sitting indoors - a feeling of complete unity with nature, relaxation and comfort. However, in order to install panoramic windows you will have to work hard and first consider the pros and cons of large window openings.

Advantages and disadvantages of panoramic windows in a wooden house

The advantages of floor-to-ceiling window openings are based not only on the visual transformation of housing construction:

1. Increased luminous flux, which reduces electricity costs. At the same time, sunlight gives good mood, you feel great, and the warmth in the house increases;
2. The windowless aesthetics are another plus;
3. The originality of the exterior is also an advantage that is always paid attention to.

• There are temperature restrictions for the use of glass panels, but this disadvantage can be eliminated by using modern double-glazed windows;
• The slightest deviation from technology entails an increase in heat loss. At the same time, it must be remembered that in winter time heating costs will undoubtedly increase;
• in summer sunny weather the temperature in the room will be high, so you will have to think about either curtains or air conditioning;
• Panoramic windows provide an accessible view from the street, but there is tinting, which can reduce the curiosity of others;
• Glass maintenance costs – big square requires more thorough and frequent washing, and to reach the top, you will have to stand on a ladder.

The need cannot be discounted additional protection house like this: glass windows They break easily, so they are of particular interest to hooligans.

Despite many disadvantages, the popularity of large glazed window openings is only gaining momentum, so it is important to pay attention to the possibility of glazing different parts at home and doing work with your own hands.

Glazing of different parts of the house

You need to think about the presence of a panoramic window in the house at the stage of laying out the project. The following nuances will have to be taken into account:

1. Cardinal directions - more heat and light come from the south and east, but in the northern part of the house such openings will be unnecessary;
2. Installation glass structures on the veranda it will turn the closed part into a showcase, which allows you to use the veranda as an auxiliary room for a greenhouse or give it other functionality;
3. Bay window glazing is elegance in pure form, and if you add French doors to the opening, another exit will appear;
4. A heavy balcony with such windows will gain lightness and airiness, adding warmth and light to the room;
5. Floor-to-ceiling dormer windows are an excellent solution and replacement for a shell window. Properly installed windows are not subject to the vagaries of the weather and do not suffer from ground movements, since the load falls on the walls of the building, but not on the roof.

And to see what such floor-to-ceiling glazing looks like in reality, just look at the photo and choose the one that suits you best suitable option for your own home.

Installation of panoramic windows

In wooden houses, the installation of panoramic windows has its own specific features. Of course, it is best to entrust the development of the project and installation to professionals, but you can do the work yourself, paying attention to the following nuances:

1. Calculation of building shrinkage. This is very important, since significant distortion is possible, which can cause the windows to simply burst. An excellent option is a house made of laminated veneer lumber, which does not shrink at all and is available for finishing immediately upon completion of construction work.
2. The need to expand windows. Here, too, you will need the help of professionals, especially if you want to make large window openings in a fairly old building.

However, if you are a little familiar with the technique of work, it is enough to make frames exactly to size, using laminated veneer lumber as the material or use reinforced metal-plastic profiles. They can then be decorated with overlays. So, the stages of work:

1. Destruction of part of the wall or blocking of windows at the project stage;
2. Making a frame yourself or purchasing a finished structure;
3. Installing and securing the frame in the opening, but leaving a gap between the frame and the wall;
4. Making holes in the frame around the entire perimeter. This is for fasteners, which should be enough so that over time the frame does not sag;
5. Attaching the sashes, adjusting the height, degree of fit;
6. Foaming the gaps between the frame and the wall. You need to foam with a deviation of 1.5-2 cm from the profile; as soon as the foam swells, it will reach the profile itself. After drying, excess foam must be cut off;
7. Cover the seams with vapor barrier tape;
8. Plaster the slopes.

You also need to choose glass, it can be like tempered glass, triplex or energy-saving glass, which is preferable for a private home.

Advice! Every 4-5 years it is better to re-paint the upper space above the window.

Glazing options

Blind panoramic window areas can be broken up with overhead strips, which will create the appearance of a multi-leaf structure. In addition, the following types of windows are offered, differing in the types of opening:

1. Classic French;
2. Parallel sliding;
3. Folding accordion windows;
4. Lifting prefabricated structures, which are also called lift-and-slide glazing.

Frame materials differ:

• Wood;
• Plastic;
• Steel;
• Aluminum;
• Fiberglass composite.

Each profile has its own advantages and disadvantages, as well as a difference in price terms, so when choosing to install windows in wooden house with your own hands, it is better to first calculate the budget and think through options for completing the work. For example, plastic and aluminum are fairly lightweight, durable structures with a long service life. Wood will have to be looked after, and fiberglass is expensive. As for steel profiles, in the event of frequent rainfall the material may begin to rust, which means you will have to spend money on protective equipment.

You can install panoramic windows on balconies, verandas, and bay windows at any time, but if we're talking about Regarding the wall panels of the main house, in addition to technical problems, legal ones often arise. For example, any change in the documentation for glazing a country mansion after its commissioning will certainly cause a lot of bureaucratic delays.

In addition, if it is necessary to destroy a part wall panel reinforcement will be required load-bearing elements structures, but for houses made of large logs or profiled timber, the risk of loss of rigidity is practically irreparable. And it is difficult to prove to the authorities that the alteration is safe.

Important! For buildings over 50 years old, alterations are not permitted.

Houses with panoramic windows are beautiful, but it is best to calculate the width of the windows within the dimensional limits of up to 4 meters, otherwise serious reinforcement of the floors of the over-frame space will be required. It is necessary to pay attention to the heating that will be installed in the rooms. For example, these could be convector-type thermal paths; they will reduce heat loss and prevent ice from forming. Considering everything design features By installing windows, you can always make your home even more beautiful and comfortable, and panoramic views will be a pleasant addition to the coziness created.
