Standards and building codes regulate the sizes of windows and doors in buildings under construction. But these standards (for example, GOST11214-86) were prescribed in the 80s-90s of the last century. The dimensions were given for wooden door and window blocks, taking into account the frame-type box into which it is inserted window frame or on the hinges of which they hang door leaf. The main material of modern balcony blocks is PVC profile. Here are the main standard dimensions (mm) of balcony blocks made from it for typical residential buildings:

For any deviations from standard sizes, production metal-plastic structures does not pose a problem for manufacturers - they only need the exact dimensions of the future product.

When ordering a balcony door or an entire balcony block yourself, you must do all the necessary measurements yourself. To be more confident in the accuracy of the data obtained, it is advisable to duplicate your actions, because you can make a mistake even when recording readings.

If a paired window and door structure will be ordered from a specialized manufacturing company, try not to insist on manufacturing products strictly according to their “clear” dimensions. In 95% of cases, the customer is provided with free services of a professional measurer. When calling a specialist from a company that will manufacture and install a window-door unit, the customer is not responsible for any discrepancies between the manufactured products and the existing openings. In this case, production correct option products or necessary work to widen the opening becomes the responsibility of the performer. If a non-conforming product is made according to the customer’s measurements, get ready for additional expenses.

Consequences of surveyor errors

If the structure made after measurements is smaller in size than necessary for correct installation, large gaps will result. These voids between the frame and the opening will have to be filled with foam, and the thickness of the slopes will subsequently be increased. If the size of the manufactured structure is increased, it is necessary to expand the opening until the necessary gaps are obtained for correct installation.

In both cases, a “problem” window, door or entire prefabricated structure can later remind itself of itself through deformation, freezing, and the appearance of cracks on the slopes and under the window sill. As a result, the aesthetic appearance is lost, the heat and moisture insulation characteristics of the product are violated, condensation, drafts, and fungus appear.

After transfer possible problems It becomes clear why you need to measure seven times, and then order a full-fledged product once.

Taking measurements

Despite the parameters of window and balcony openings strictly defined by standards, even in the same apartment their sizes will differ due to geometry violations, spatial position, the presence of unevenness, different wall thicknesses, and thermal insulation used. The possibility of correct installation of a structure of the required dimensions and trouble-free operation of a PVC window and door unit is laid down at the measurement stage.

It is advisable to dismantle the old wooden balcony block before taking measurements. It is produced in this order:

• The movable sashes are removed, and the glass is removed from the blind sashes.
• The window sill and external ebb are dismantled.
• The box is disassembled (broken) and removed from the opening.
• Along the perimeter of the opening, all the plaster and screed are knocked down to the main wall.
• Using a hammer and chisel, the grooves for the window sill to fit into the wall are cleaned down to the brick.
• All construction waste swept away and put away.

If the opening lines have significant deviations from the horizontal and vertical, their perpendicularity is not maintained, or they have obvious irregularities, they can be leveled with a cement-sand mixture. The necessary reduction in the balcony opening is achieved by brickwork.

After dismantling, an opening is obtained that is ideal for accurate measurements of the required new balcony block. But in this case, the opening will remain open until the new product is installed. More often, measurements are taken when the old block has not yet been dismantled, taking into account the thickness of the slope plaster, screed and other nuances. Therefore, the measurements must be taken by a specialist who will accurately determine the required dimensions. new design taking into account all amendments.

For self-measurement of balcony and window openings in order to determine the exact dimensions of PVC products, you need to understand general recommendations from specialist measurers:

• The frame of the finished product must be smaller than the opening. It is not allowed to rest against or touch the walls of the opening.
• If you insert a finished frame, there should be uniform mounting gaps of 2-5 cm around the perimeter.
• You need to measure both inside and outside the room.
• The width is determined by three measurements - the top, bottom edge of the opening, and the middle. The smallest value is taken into account.
• The height is also determined - on the right, in the middle, on the left. Select the lowest result.

Now you need to decide on the dimensions of the frame to be installed. They depend on the type of opening:

Important! While the measuring tool is at hand, measurements are also taken and the length and width of the window sill and ebb are determined. Window sill: width - the depth of the window opening to the frame plus the required amount of overhang; length - the width of the opening with the addition of 50-100 mm on the side to enter the wall. Low tide: length – equal to the width of the opening, measured from outside, with the addition of 60-80 mm; width - the distance from the frame to the outer edge of the opening plus the protrusion from outer wall(can be up to 50 mm if desired).

Placing an order

Based on the results of measurements - independent, made by a specialist, or duplicated and verified - an order is placed for the manufacture of a window-door block structure for a balcony opening. In this case, you need to take into account the following points:

• The manufacturer needs to know the width of the door and window separately.
• The door being manufactured has a horizontal lintel so that the double-glazed windows of the upper part of the door and the window have the same height. Default in bottom part the doors are inserted with a plastic sandwich panel. If a glass bag is required, please indicate this in your application.
• It is necessary to indicate which glazed areas will open and how - folding, hinged or combined version. If this moment is missed, all openings will be blind.
• Indicate which support profile the window height is measured against.
• For a warm balcony, you can provide and order from the manufacturer the presence of ventilation slots at the top of the window and at the bottom of the door.

Useful information! When ordering, excluding the possibility of tilting the door reduces the price of the ordered structure by 5-7%.

And about the disadvantages of standard balcony blocks and what can be done about it, see our video:

Before building a house, you need to be very careful about the size of the windows. The window sizes must be optimal. According to GOST it is provided total area windows should not exceed 6 m2, the area of ​​the opening part should not be more than 2.5 m2. To obtain quality, reliability and practicality in the glazing of your future home, you need to strictly comply with all the requirements of building codes and regulations and, of course, the state standard. If during construction country house you have decided on the device panoramic glazing, then you need to take into account that the area of ​​​​one stained glass window is no more than 6 m2. This will save you from a lot of misunderstandings, and suppliers will provide you with a wide selection of window units.

Upon purchase finished products, first of all, you need to pay attention to the area of ​​​​the opening parts. Their size should not exceed 2.5 m2. Otherwise, you need to require a quality certificate and a test certificate for safe operation. The reason is non-compliance with the state standard ensuring the safe use of the product.

It is imperative to check that the mass of the opening elements is no more than 80 kg (according to GOST - maximum 75). This can lead to destruction of the window unit and injury to users.

Windows must open into the interior of the room, except for those opening onto a balcony or loggia; otherwise, this must be indicated in the project.

Competent calculation of GOST window sizes is carried out according to special generally accepted formulas.

Window openings must be designed taking into account GOST standards. GOST assumes a state standard.

This standard will help you understand the features, main advantages and disadvantages of wooden, plastic, PVC windows.

It should be noted that it is in GOST 11214-86 and GOST 23166-99 “Windows and balcony doors wooden with double glazing for residential and public buildings" spells out all the requirements and features of windows and doors and their standardization.

Special standardization was carried out for all features and standards for opening and window sizes were designated for heights of 60, 90, 120, 135, 150, 180 cm, and widths of 60, 90, 100, 120, 150, 180.

So, GOST specifies the following values: 560x870 (opening 610x910); 560x1170 (opening 610x1210); 860x870; 860x1170; 860x1320; 860x1470; 1160x870(1170, 1320,1470); 1460x(1170, 1320,1470).

Standard window sizes GOST

All windows have differences and, according to GOST, are divided according to methods into rooms that open inward, open outward, and do not open (they are most often called blind). At the same time, GOST states that it is inappropriate to use fixed windows above the first floor, because there is no possibility of ventilating the premises. The exception is window units facing the balcony and having dimensions of 400 x 800. The installation of fixed windows in other rooms is specified in the project.

In typical rooms, window sizes often have their own characteristics and can be different.

Therefore, standard GOST window sizes in some cases may mean approximate values ​​and may be adjusted. When manufacturing window blocks, a deviation of linear dimensions of +2 and -1 mm is allowed. The deviation of the diagonal size of a rectangular window block with a side length of up to 1400 mm is allowed 2 mm, if the side is longer, then 3 mm.

Dimensions according to standards can be different, for example, up to 15 cm, and in panel rooms the average size of a window with 2 sashes is 1.3 m in height and 1.4 m in width. Three-leaf windows have a height of 1400 mm and a width of 2050 to 2750 mm.

For example, in Khrushchev-type premises, windows that have wide window sills have dimensions of approximately 1.45 m by 1.5 m, and with narrow window sills - 1.3 m by 1.35 m. These values ​​will quite help determine the cost of more affordable price PVC windows.

Thus, the dimensions of windows in a Khrushchev building largely depend on the width of the window sill itself.

When calculating attic window units, typical standard dimensions are taken as a basis, however, the angle of inclination of the roof must always be taken into account. The more flat the roof, the higher the height of the window. The distance between the rafters should be 40-60 mm larger size windows.

GOST dimensions for plastic windows

Currently, plastic windows are found and manufactured in all sizes and shapes of varying degrees of complexity.

Plastic windows today are the most optimal and popular type of windows, since they are very practical, electrostatic, frost-resistant and quite reliable.

That is, all the necessary thermophysical and mechanical parameters are properly observed. Plastic windows today are already quite affordable for the masses.

When purchasing and installing such windows, you must also take into account GOST dimensions for plastic windows.

According to GOST, standard sizes of plastic windows are not universal: their sizes can vary up to 10-15 cm.

For example, the dimensions of a double-leaf window in panel house equal to 1300 by 1400 mm. The size of a three-leaf window is 2050-2070 mm by 1400 mm. The remaining parameters have windows in Khrushchev-era premises: 1450 by 1500 mm and 1300 by 1350 mm and 2040 by 1500 mm.

Determine the dimensions of the standard plastic window and do correct calculation approximate cost is possible only by knowing the type of house.

IN lately very frequent cases have been noticed when many orders are received for the manufacture of large windows. Large plastic windows look quite aesthetically pleasing, attractive and solid.

Interesting! Plastic are flowing and there are puddles on the windowsill (Water),

It can be made larger, but you need to take into account the fact that this option will be very unreliable and the structure will soon deteriorate.

In the case of having blind sashes, we note that the optimal solution would be if they were not made larger than 1000 sq. m. mm, otherwise a huge load will be felt on the glass unit, which will lead to defects and various damages.

In fact, you can order plastic windows of any size, even non-standard ones; another question is whether this window will fit your room and look neat and be reliable.

Based on economic considerations, a standard plastic window will cost you less than a non-standard one ordered.

PVC window sizes according to GOST

Nowadays it is very common to find windows made of PVC structures. The number of companies that offer such plastic windows is growing rapidly.

But obviously, all products cannot be of the required quality and directly depend on the literacy and high professionalism of specialists.

Standard PVC (polyvinyl chloride) windows are usually characterized by reliability, high degree tightness and attractive appearance, although they are not without drawbacks.

However, old wooden windows cannot be compared with a new plastic window in all these characteristics, even if it is made from the most ordinary PVC system.

Dimensions of PVC windows according to GOST. When it is necessary to install PVC windows, you need to be especially careful about the installation norms and standards.

In case this type the window faces the street, and you do not have air conditioning, then the thickness of the glass unit must be at least 32 mm.

And if the PVC window faces glass balcony, then standard 24 mm will be enough.

Guided by established standards, a good distance between the glasses is 10-16 mm.

If the distance is made smaller, then the thermal insulation process of the window will not be as effective.

Wooden windows gost size

Wooden windows are currently not as popular as they used to be, but are still used to this day. Wooden windows are characterized by an aesthetic appearance.

Standard wooden windows include windows rectangular shape, which have a transparent transparent or opaque paint coating.

Intensity of room lighting;

Type and dimensions of the building;

Level natural light and others.

If windows are manufactured in accordance with GOST requirements, then the customer must be completely confident that this product will be as reliable, efficient and durable as possible.

In other words, such windows will be characterized by an excellent guarantee of quality, safety and long service life.

By and large, GOST implies threshold indicators and real optimal schemes, focuses on methods that maximally satisfied the main requirements of the building.

That is why it is so important to know the requirements and standards of GOST.

The primary purpose of windows in buildings and structures of any type is to transmit light for natural illumination. But windows also provide ventilation and perform a number of other functions. Let's try to figure out what is regulated in construction. Is it possible to set arbitrary ones when constructing, for example, a country house?

How is the area of ​​window openings calculated?

In construction various types buildings, building codes and regulations are applied that regulate the size of window openings and windows, depending on many factors. The determining factor among them is KEO - natural illumination coefficient. But many other factors are also taken into account: the dimensions and purpose of the building, geographical location, light characteristics and the number of glasses in a double-glazed window, etc. So, in “ Building codes and rules" (SNiP P-A862) regulates the area of ​​the window opening in relation to the area of ​​the room (in percentage), which is determined by the formula given in the document. SNiP defines normalized values ​​of KEO in the premises of standard public and residential buildings, geographically located in the band from 45° to 60° northern latitude. This value takes into account that glass in windows must be cleaned twice a year for buildings in areas with low dust and pollution, and 4 times for premises in areas with noticeable emissions of dust and combustion products. If the building is located south of 45° north latitude, a coefficient of 0.75 should be applied to the KEO value, and if the building is located north of 60° north latitude - 1.2.

The calculation formulas have their own coefficients for cases of using several glasses in double-glazed windows, with different distances between the glasses, as well as with various designs glass in windows (frosted, figured, etc.).
If it is difficult to set different coefficients, then there is a simplified formula for residential premises: the glazing area of ​​windows should be at least 8 times less area premises. This formula gives approximate, but quite close to calculated results.

Standard sizes

But there are standard sizes window openings, specified state standards for residential and These sizes are chosen optimal for mass construction. They take into account many factors, including the external aesthetic appearance of the building as an architectural structure.

GOSTs take into account not only window sizes but also design features their execution. In addition, the dimensions of openings, door panels and the design of balcony doors have been standardized. There are GOST 24699-81, GOST 24700-81 and GOST 11214-86, which impose restrictions on the choice wooden windows and balcony doors for public and residential buildings, designed with double-glazed windows and glass, with double-glazed windows and with, respectively.

List of standard sizes

In particular, standardized sizes of windows and balcony doors of residential buildings are provided in height (860, 1460 and 2175 mm) and width (570, 720, 870, 1170, 1320, 1470, 1770 or 2070 mm). For public buildings, a different size range has been standardized for windows and balcony doors (height - 1160, 1760 or 2060, 2375 or 2575 mm, width - 870, 1170, 1320, 1470 mm). openings for these structures are also defined: in residential buildings (height 910, 1520 and 2210, width 610, 780, 910, 1210, 1380, 1510, 1810, 2110 mm) and public buildings (height 1210, 1810, 2110, 2410 and 2810, width 910, 1210, 1380, 1510, 1810, 2110, 2410 and 2710 mm).

Standard sizes window openings (GOST 23166-99), window blocks and balcony doors are presented in an expanded range of sizes: height values ​​have been added - 580 and 1320 mm, width - 2370 and 2670 mm without specifying whether they will be installed in residential or public buildings.

In panel houses standard window of two sashes should have a width of 1300x1400 mm, and of three sashes - a height of 1400 mm, and a width of the sashes of 2070 or 2050 mm.

Window sizes were also standardized for five-story buildings of the Khrushchev period. For a window with two sashes with a narrow window sill, the size is 1300x1350 mm, for a window with three sashes - 2040x1350 mm, and with a wide window sill - 1450x1500 and 2040x1500 mm.

How to calculate window openings?

Thus, to select the number and sizes of window openings for a country house under construction, you can perform the following sequence of actions:
- based on the area of ​​the room, calculate the glazing area of ​​the windows (divided by 8);
- determine the height of the windows from the dimensional standard range(we take into account the architectural appearance of the house, its harmonious aesthetic appearance);
- by dividing the glazing area by the height of the window glass, we obtain the total width of the glazing;
- calculate the number of windows for the standard row widths that suit you by dividing the total glazing width by the selected glass width of the window block (round the resulting value up if you receive a fractional number);
- choose the width that best suits our preferences.

The result is no worse than the requirements of SNiP, since the result was rounded up.

Example

Let's take a room with an area of ​​40 sq.m. - the glazing area must be at least 5 sq.m. With a window height of 1460 mm (glass height - 1210 mm), total length glazing will be 4132 mm, which is equivalent to 4 windows with a width of 1320 mm (glass width 1170 mm) or three windows with a width of 1770 mm (glass width 1520 mm).

When determining the size of window openings, you should add 15 mm to the dimensions of the window blocks on each side for mounting on the mounting foam and add 50 mm in height for the same purpose, plus for installing a window sill board.

Concluding remarks

It must be borne in mind that when building an individual country house there are no such strict restrictions as in mass construction. Modern companies (there are a great many of them on the market) that produce and install double-glazed windows are able to produce window units of any size. But if you implement the recommended sizes of window openings (SNiP P-A862), then the conditions for natural illumination of the premises will be met, and choosing sizes according to GOST allows you to save costs compared to ordering individual window blocks.

Therefore, in any case, it is useful to know and use illumination calculations according to the construction requirements methodology, as well as the provisions of current GOSTs for the standardization of window and door designs to choose the right size of window openings, for example, for building a country house.

It is regulated to manufacture windows in such a way that the maximum area of ​​a window product made from a plastic profile is no more than 6 m2. Also, the opening door area should not exceed 2.5 m2.

Only by observing GOST standards and regulations can glazing be made of high quality, reliable and practical. For example, if you decide to build country house with panoramic glazing, then it is worth taking into account the fact that the windows should be no more than 6 m2.

In this case, you will get rid of many problems, and it will not be difficult to find a manufacturer. Almost all companies will be able to offer solutions for glazing such a house.

If you have already decided to buy ready-made windows in production or at construction company, then pay attention to the area of ​​the opening elements. If it is more than 2.5 m2, then check the availability of certificates for specialized safety tests, because an area exceeding the specified norm is not subject to the standards.

When choosing double-glazed windows, pay attention to the weight of the opening sashes; it should not exceed 80 kg. Otherwise, it may result in exceeding the critical part.

For reference: A sash of a three-chamber double-glazed window (3 glasses of 4 mm) with an area of ​​2.5 m2 weighs about 75 kg.

Casements of casement windows must open inwards in all residential premises, except for those on the first floor and windows facing balconies and loggias. Other cases of opening must be specified in the design documentation.

Dimensions of fixed windows

It’s rare that anyone orders windows with 2 or 3 (depending on the window) opening sashes. As a rule, the second and third valves remain blind, i.e. don't open. :

5.1.6 The use of non-opening sashes in window units of premises of residential buildings above the first floor is not allowed, except for sashes with dimensions not exceeding 400x800 mm, as well as in products facing balconies (loggias) if such structures have devices for ventilation of the premises. The possibility of using non-opening sash elements of window units in other types of premises is established in the design documentation for construction.

Possible deviations from the linear dimensions of windows

During the manufacturing process of plastic windows, linear dimensions may not coincide with those specified in the design documentation. If the deviation is +2 .. - 1 mm, then this is considered normal.

The difference in the lengths of the diagonals of rectangular frames should not exceed 2 mm with a side length of up to 1400 mm. If the length is over 1400 mm, then the permissible deviation is 3 mm.

Residential window sizes

There are often cases when the sizes of windows in a panel house can differ by 10-15 cm, and we are talking about the same house. That is, there is no need to talk about accuracy. That is why, if you need to measure window sizes, you need qualified help.

However, there are standard window sizes in standard houses, which you need to strive for when designing, so as not to subsequently complicate the lives of residents and companies involved in window installation. A standard double-hung window should measure 1300 high and 1400 wide. Three-leaf window - width from 2050 to 2070, height - 1400.

As for the Khrushchev buildings, the situation is different. Thus, the size of a window in a Khrushchev-era building directly depends on the width of the window sill. In the case of wide window sills, the size is 1450x1500 for two sashes and 2040x1500 for three. Narrow window sills suggest window sizes of 1300×1350 and 2040×1350, respectively.

When calculating the size of roof windows, we usually proceed from standard parameters, but you also need to take into account the roof slope angle. There is a pattern that the height of the window directly depends on the flatness of the roof. As for the distance between the rafters, it should be no less than 4-6 cm wider than the window frame.

Based on the above, it becomes quite obvious that the window sizes even in standard houses do not match, but based on the type of house, you can determine the window sizes at a glance. Be that as it may, the angle of incidence sun rays, plays a decisive role in matters of window sizes.

Plastic window sizes

Touching on dimensions PVC windows, note that they can be very different and depend solely on the size of the opening. Moreover, considering modern technologies, plastic windows can be manufactured in any size and of absolutely any complexity.

Today there is fashion trend making the size of plastic windows very large, based on aesthetic considerations, such a trend looks impressive and colorful, but do not forget about practicality. The opening door should not be more than 900 square meters. mm.

No one forbids making it larger, but such manipulations will guarantee that the structure will soon simply fail. In the case of blind sashes, we note that it is better not to neglect the advice and not make them larger than 1000 sq. m. mm., this is fraught with a significant load on the glass unit, which contributes to its deformation.

In conclusion, we note that nothing is impossible for specialists and non-standard sizes plastic windows have become the rule rather than the exception. Regarding issues of economy, it is advisable to emphasize that a standard window is cheaper than its custom-made counterpart. But whether such savings will be justified depends entirely on the size of the window opening.

The choice of size of window openings determines the illumination and comfort of residents. And if residents of standard multi-storey buildings are deprived of the opportunity to choose required windows, then residents of private houses can easily experiment with increased window sizes. But at the same time, many building rules and properties must be taken into account so as not to reduce the thermal efficiency of the building and not create a threat to the safety of residents.

Window blocks in the house

When choosing the final dimensions, you should clearly understand their dependence on the entire glazing area: when choosing large windows in wooden house it will be cold, if you choose small ones it will be dark, and this will lead to the constant use of additional light sources. Should be found golden mean and focus on building laws and regulations.

The choice of window size in a wooden house will directly depend on their purpose and location.

When choosing the ratio of wall area and glazing, the following principles should be taken into account:

• Shape and area of ​​the room. For long rooms, two or more windows are needed, but for small ones, one window in the center will be enough.
• The location of windows relative to the light sides. Place large windows on the western and southern sides - this will provide a larger maximum. In such rooms, house plants will feel very comfortable.
• Purpose of the premises. Large windows are installed in offices, offices and other rooms where people are regularly present and where it is required large number natural daylight.

As a rule, such rooms are located on the south-west side of the building when designing. For the bedroom, high-quality lighting is not particularly required, so it is located on the north or west side, and only one window block will be enough for it.

Finnish style in Scandinavian homes

It is also customary to place the kitchen and other storage rooms for utility purposes on the northern sides. Historical fact, earlier large windows installed in Scandinavian houses: because natural daylight improved mood and increased performance, which was important on short winter days. It was pleasant to stay in these rooms all the time: bright, natural daylight could additionally be enhanced by light and warm colors and a choice of white furniture.

Of course, it's ideal to copy Finnish style This is not always possible in Russian houses, but some elements can still be borrowed.

Standard parameters and properties of window systems

To manufacture plastic window structures, you will have to contact a construction company, or, if you prefer, directly to the manufacturer, and they will offer you a standard range.

As a rule, the sizes of windows in a frame wooden house are as follows:

Choosing a larger sash size is not entirely safe: glass is a fragile material and requires a special binding. If you are planning on the second floor, then the door dimensions will be standard (height 2100-2200 mm, width 700-900 mm).

All of the listed window sizes are produced by most construction companies, and if you want to make an exclusive order, the window set will be significantly more expensive.

The standard parameters of window structures are designed for the same type of openings in multi-storey panel buildings, and the demand for them is quite high, but orders for custom sizes construction companies perform much less frequently. Therefore the cost is much higher. When designing, take into account the future location of all furniture and its dimensions.

Distance from window to floor

An ordinary standard window should be located at a height of 80 to 90 cm from the floor: this provides good review both sitting and standing man, and you can put a desktop or other piece of furniture under the window sill. The upper edge of the block is usually located at a height of 220 to 230 cm from the floor.

Special requirements apply to indoor windows wooden bath: not required for a bath room good lighting, but preservation and retention of heat is very important. Following these requirements, a standard bath window in a steam room is no larger than 600×600 mm, and in a relaxation room the window can be made larger, for example 1000×1200 mm.

Maximum size of plastic window structure

When choosing large individual window structures with increased sash area, you need to know the existing requirements set out in special building regulations:

• The area of ​​the entire structure should not be more than 6 square meters. meters. Otherwise, it may not withstand the wind load, and in unfavorable weather conditions the glass unit may crack and crumble into fragments.
• You should not ignore safety rules: weather conditions in different regions Russia is changeable and unpredictable. Large blocks should have partitions, and the area of ​​the doors should not be higher than 2.8 square meters. m. The maximum permissible size of the sashes is 110×240 cm. When designing window openings, keep in mind that a large structure can quickly fail. A metal-plastic profile with a two-chamber (three-chamber) double-glazed window will be very heavy, and due to heavy weight the fittings will soon begin to bend and sag. In this case, the sash will wear out and it will begin to creak; using such a design will be inconvenient and even more unsafe. If you decide to install arched window, then its radius should not be less than 35 cm. The requirements for large sashes will be the same as for conventional rotary systems.

The size of the hole for the window block

Gap for window in frame house

The dimensions of wooden windows in a frame house will not coincide with the dimensions of the opening. They will be large; this tolerance is needed for the subsequent installation of the casing and window sill. From the planned height of the lower edge of the window you need to step back about 5 cm: 4 cm is the thickness of the window sill and 1 cm is the layer polyurethane foam. The width of the hole exceeds the window by 14 cm: 5 cm on each side for installation and installation of the casing and 2 cm on both sides for a layer of polyurethane foam for durable fastening.

The opening at the top is about 10 cm larger: this gap is left because it will fall over time. When making calculations and planning, it is worth taking into account the lower edge of the frame; it should not be located at a height of more than 1 m from the floor level. In this case, it is not very convenient to rest your hands on the windowsill, and the lighting in the room will not be enough.

• Number of chambers in a plastic profile. The more cameras, the better profile keeps warm because air is the best heat insulator. For capital facility It is customary to choose a 3- or 4-chamber double-glazed window.
• Selecting a seal. To choose from of this material they pay very little attention, but thanks to the seal, all cracks and drafts are eliminated. Cheap and rubber material will begin to “tan” and cease to perform its main functions. Some manufacturers offer transparent elastomer seals: their cost is higher, but the protection against cold is much better and of higher quality.
• Accessories. The main rule is that you shouldn’t skimp on it. Cheap locks, clamps, handles will quickly fail, and weakened hinges and a thin frame will certainly lead to distortion and sagging of all sashes. As a result, you will have to spend money on expensive repairs, so the savings do not justify the investment.
