Panoramic glazing: stereotypes

Panoramic glazing - stereotypes. ⠀
No. 1: Always large heat loss through the profile ⠀

🔒 No, heat loss through the profile will not be large if you choose it correctly. And it depends on the size of the structure. The design of the panoramic window can be made of various materials, as a rule, wood, aluminum and PVC profile. Each of these materials has its own characteristics that must be considered when designing ⠀

🔗 The PVC profile allows you to make the structure in a single frame: up to 8 m2 or, when using special facade profiles, a much larger area. The design must provide for temperature compensation joints.

The choice of material for panoramic glazing is made on the basis of technical and economic comparison, taking into account the design of the structure, color solutions.

The design with a width of 7.5 and a height of 2 floors will be optimally made of an aluminum profile.

Stereotype No. 2: Heating costs will increase

⠀ 📋 Properly designed panoramic windows do not significantly increase heating costs. For many of our customers to whom we installed “windows on the floor”, large-sized sliding elements, “disappearing walls” and other large-format structures, this was a pleasant surprise: ⠀
🗣 Customer:
Winter has passed and I see: HEAT RECEPTIONS from the sun far exceed losses. A room with a window for a day is so warm that it lasts all night. ⠀
🗣 Client2:
The portal costs the third year (this winter will be the third). I did not do any additional warming. No additional heating costs were noticed. ⠀
🗣 Client3:
The kitchen has two large windows, one of which is panoramic. But there are more advantages - if most of the windows are on the sunny side, this is a big saving on lighting and is very warm even in winter

Is panoramic glass safe?

Stereotype No. 3.⠀
Panoramic glazing is unsafe ⠀

Transparent structures that visually erase the boundaries of the house with the outside world seem vulnerable to outsiders. Like it or not, but glass is not concrete; throw a brick at him, and it crumbled. This worries many homeowners who dream of sliding glass walls. ⠀


💥 How can thieves act? I went to the fence, threw a stone, the glass fell out, come in and take what you want. And if the glass does not break, then it makes no sense to walk around and throw in all the windows. ⠀

😄 Actually, there is no reason for such concern: as our expert says, in panoramic glazing it is possible to use special glasses, which, with such an impact, can not be destroyed. ⠀


And a whole range of additional measures can strengthen protection: ⠀

- triplex ⠀
- film ⠀
- roller shutters ⠀
- alarm (with stickers on the fence that the house is guarded) ⠀


🗣 I have a hot eight and the film is standing, during installation I personally threw a brick - it normally holds. But I did this only for protection from small things, he usually walks with a hammer, and would have managed with a triplex. ⠀


Most of our customers who choose panoramic glazing consider such expensive solutions to be redundant, since in fact large-format constructions are attractive for attackers ⠀
no more than ordinary small windows. ⠀

Usually to protect large structures are limited to triplex. ⠀


⛏ In order to cut a hole in triplex 44.2, which is enough to penetrate the house, one must diligently wave the ax for about 10 minutes. During this time, the police outfit will even be able to ski on foot.

Panoramic glass = condensate?

Stereotype No. 4. Panoramic windows are inevitable condensation and icing ⠀

Condensation on properly designed and installed large format constructions will never appear. Risks can arise only if errors are made during the design and installation. ⠀


📐 Since we have large structures, in addition to calculating the glass unit for heat transfer resistance, it is necessary to calculate its deformation stability. If this is not done, then the difference in temperature and pressure between the glass panes in the glass can increase or decrease, which can lead to condensation or even icing, as well as the effect of “curved mirrors”. If the glass is selected correctly, if everything is done normally, then the risk of condensation and ice formation is minimized. ⠀

One of the most common causes of condensation is the use of an aluminum spacer in a glass pane (low temperature on the surface of the glass in the area of the spacer) and the lack of circulation of warm air, especially in the lower horizontal parts of the structure. ⠀


🔗⠀
When using ⠀
warmer distance frames in the double-glazed window (steel, TPS, etc.), the risk of condensation is significantly reduced (temperature increase in the distance of the distance frame). ⠀

Another anti-condensation solution is the optimally selected glass unit installation depth. Depending on the installation width of the profile ⠀
You can select installation depths of 18 mm, 21 mm or 25 mm. ⠀

The deeper the glass unit is in the profile, the lower the risk of condensation. ⠀


🖇 For panoramic walls and other large-format structures ⠀
We recommend making heat convectors. Directional flow of warm air from the bottom up eliminates the formation of condensate at any temperature difference. Our practice of operating panoramic structures shows: if this is done, then ⠀
there will be no condensation formations, let alone ice. ⠀
