Big glass: pros and cons

⠀
🗣 "Nothing beats the feeling when on a winter Sunday morning you are standing with a cup of coffee in your hands in front of a glass portal and looking at the smoke from the pipes of neighboring houses, sparkling snow ... and you are in shorts and with aromatic coffee" ⠀
⠀
Large-format elements in glazing are a confident architectural trend in recent decades. “Windows on the floor”, “disappearing walls” and other constructions of this kind blur the boundaries between the house and the plot, fill the room with light and give a feeling of freedom and comfort. ⠀
⠀
💼 But so far not only ordinary consumers, but even professional architects and designers have some skepticism regarding large-format designs. ⠀
Skeptics believe that large forms are always large heat losses and insufficient safety. ⠀
⠀
Everything is completely wrong - proved by customers @energo_doma that we built houses with such structures and they never regretted it. ⠀
⠀
❗ Stereotype No. 1. Panoramic glazing - always large heat loss through the double-glazed window ⠀
⠀
Now even the largest large translucent design with a large number of opening flaps is able to provide heat transfer resistance comparable to a wall. ⠀
⠀
Such a design will work stably well and for a long time. The main thing is to understand that this is not “an ordinary dull window, only a large one”. This is a separate type of translucent structures, which works in a fundamentally different way and ALWAYS requires competent design. And in such designs you can not put simple double-glazed windows. ⠀
⠀
🌪 The design of the window should be designed for wind load taking into account the wind region, the installation height of the structure and the type of terrain (urban development, open terrain), the dimensions of the opening wings and the weight of the glass units used, and the requirements for heat and noise insulation. The design should be easy and convenient to operate, if necessary, provide special requirements for protection against hacking, child safety and protection against accidental loss. ⠀
⠀
If the solution is not professional, then it will not be possible to provide a comfortable microclimate in the room.
