In each country house Provides for a smooth transition from living quarters to the street. In some houses these are verandas, in some terraces, and in some these are winter greenhouses, from which there is an exit to the street.

All these premises are united by the fact that they minimally isolate vacationers from nature, while protecting them from bad weather: from rain, wind, dust. Glazing of verandas and terraces performs the main function in this.

Terraces and verandas

Terraces and verandas have a significant difference from each other, which greatly affects the purpose of the room and the type of glazing.

• Verandas are built together with the main building on the same foundation and under the same roof. A well-insulated veranda can be used in winter period as an additional room, with adequate heating. For this, not only the walls and roof are insulated, but also winter glazing is performed.
• Terraces usually stand apart from the main structure, connected to it by a platform or walkway. Glazing of terraces is able to maintain a positive temperature only with a slight decrease outside temperature air. Therefore, the glazing of the terraces is performed only in order to summer period protect the room from bad weather.

Glazing of the terrace and veranda is sufficient complex view construction works the implementation of which should be entrusted to professionals.

This is usually done during the construction phase, along with the glazing of the windows of the main house. Since the air temperature on the veranda all year round should be positive, the glazing of windows is most often made for winter - capable of keeping the outside air well.

• Aluminum profile. In addition to the standard profile, for veranda windows recent times sliding structures are becoming more and more popular, which can be used not only for window openings but also doorways. With the help of sliding aluminum structures, you can glaze almost an entire wall, which allows you to very quickly turn a closed veranda into open terrace and vice versa, when weather conditions deteriorate. The main advantages aluminum profiles gets in the way of embracing large areas windows, which does not interfere with the view, due to its dimensions.
• Plastic profile. If you plan to use the terrace all year round, then the glazing should be winter, if used only in the summer it will be quite cold. The choice of the type must be made of plastic at the design stage due to the fact that the weight of the window is large enough and in order to make winter glazing, you need to choose the right wall material. The main advantages of such glazing are excellent sound insulation, thermal insulation, they are durable and do not lose their aesthetic appearance over time, they are easy to take care of and they are not regularly repaired.
• Frameless glazing... This is the most modern and stylish type of glazing. Its price is slightly higher than the rest. In practice, air glazing is not really a fragile structure. Thanks to the thick tempered glass, its structure is strong enough and it is very difficult to break it. Well-thought-out fittings make such glazing reliable burglary protection. Wherein total area glass can be as large as you like. Two window opening systems are used: parallel-sliding and book. At the first opening, the doors move like the doors of a wardrobe, freeing about seventy percent of the opening. Important! It is not necessary to make the sash wider than 900 mm. The book system allows you to move the glazing to the side, freeing up eighty percent of the terraces. Both systems allow the use of slot ventilation.

Glazing of the terrace

Given its purpose, the terrace should be open for a longer time and only in times of bad weather glazing becomes important. Therefore, it is very important to be able to quickly turn an open space into a closed one and vice versa. Glazing of terraces using aluminum profiles and frameless glazing are most suitable for this requirement.

• The aluminum profile, especially its sliding structures, are perfect for glazing large areas.
• The frameless design does not require special maintenance, has a silent opening, and will be able to protect against gusts of gusty winds and various precipitations.

Landscape designers lately great importance pay small architectural forms, including terraces. It is very important that the type of glazing of the terraces is made in the same style as the veranda or winter Garden being part of the house.

We order glazing

Before ordering glazing of a terrace or veranda, you need to accurately measure the window dimensions, and call several companies dealing with glazing, find out and compare prices, payment terms, warranty period for glazing of verandas and terraces. After that, you can invite the wizard to measure the windows.

By glazing a terrace or veranda or windows, you can make your vacation in a country house more comfortable.

First of all, such a structure is a useful additional area attached to the house, and a glazed veranda, if there is heating, can become another, often very useful living room. Such an extension, even being open, gives the building more coziness, and if it is also glazed, then you can stay here even in bad weather, and the whole dwelling will become warmer.

Glazing options for veranda and terrace

The selection of a solution is determined by how it is planned to use the aforementioned structure in the future - as a location only in the warm season or as a full-fledged residential building, with heating, operated year-round. When choosing the second - you should ensure good thermal insulation, which will be facilitated by the installation of blind doors, alternating with open ones.

Examples of windows in the photo

1. Cold sliding glazing of veranda and terrace with Provedal aluminum profile

This type is characterized by affordability, high durability, long service life, a wide range of colors, aesthetics and low maintenance requirements. Aluminum sliding veranda windows save valuable space that would be required for swing doors. The disadvantage is low thermal insulation, inability to retain heat. Therefore, it is used only for those premises that will not be used in winter.

2. Semi-warm sliding glazing of the veranda with plastic windows Slidors

It is noteworthy that sliding glazing for verandas and terraces can be either semi-warm or cold. It all depends on the filling - ordinary glass or single-chamber double-glazed windows. Possesses all the advantages of plastic - unpretentious in operation, resistant to influence environment, durable. The doors, opening, do not take up additional space, and the cost is affordable for many. However, it will be uncomfortable to be indoors during frosts - buildings glazed in this way can be used year-round only in countries with very mild winters.

3. Warm glazing of the veranda and terrace with PVC windows and wooden windows

The main advantage of warm glazing for verandas and terraces is high thermal insulation performance, which allows it to be used in any season. To do this, apply profile structures made of plastic or wood. Plastic systems are easy to clean, have excellent heat-saving properties, are durable, resistant to outside influence, have a wide palette of colors. High-quality profile products of the German companies Rehau and KBE and inexpensive domestic profile Novotex are in demand.

Material for wooden profiles mainly pine, larch or oak wood is used. They are characterized by naturalness, excellent heat-saving qualities, and aesthetics. Of the "minuses" - the need for special care and cost.

What double-glazed windows will make the windows on the veranda warmer and quieter?

Much depends on the glass unit, so a product with additional functions can be an excellent solution:

multifunctional

4. Frameless glazing of the veranda and terrace

The main "pluses": excellent panoramic view and reliable protection from wind, moisture and insects. The doors can both open and even move completely, or form a real glass wall... The material is durable tempered glass. "Minus" - low thermal insulation, so the glazed space can only be used in warm weather.

With them, the room seems more presentable, more spacious, brighter. This provides protection against negative external natural phenomena, noise, etc.

The main disadvantages are large heat losses, the need for more powerful sources heating, the difficulty in caring for such a huge surface. And it will cost a lot.

Most of modern summer cottages and private houses have verandas and gazebos on adjoining territory... They are open type(terraces) or closed (gazebos and verandas). When glazing the gazebos of the verandas of the terraces, it becomes possible to use them for relaxation not only on fine sunny days, but also in spring and autumn. The veranda covered with glass can become an additional room for the summer, taking over the functions of a summer bedroom.

Varieties of glazing annexes

Verandas in a country house can have two types of glazing, which include:

• cold glazing of the veranda or terrace, which will serve as a kind of buffer between the outdoor environment and indoor areas- the temperature in such an extension is usually 5-7 degrees different from the outside;
• insulated glazing of the veranda in the country or in the house, which makes it possible to fully use this room all year round as additional area at home - the price for the construction of such an option is higher, but also the advantages when using modern materials(polymers, insulated aluminum profiles, wood) are many.

From the point of view of glazing design, the following types are distinguished

Glazing frame construction

With this scheme, the glasses are inserted into rigid individual frames, which, in turn, are mounted on a rigid common frame.

The advantages include the low cost. Despite the seeming a large number of materials required for installation is the most cheap option from other possible ones. In addition, this design uses smaller glass, which makes it easier to work with such a fragile and rather heavy material. Since such a scheme is essentially modular, individual elements can be easily replaced if necessary, which is also a plus. The combination of the lightness of the elements and the simplicity of the design allows you to perform all the necessary complex of works with your own hands.

The only drawback can be determined by the attachment to a certain structure and, as a result, the possibility of creating exclusively standard building structures.

Frameless glazing of the veranda and terrace

The main advantage is the ability to configure a wide variety of architectural and design solutions in construction. Aesthetic characteristics both in the visual perception of the building from the outside and the possibility of organizing a panoramic view from the inside are another significant plus.

Such a solution has elegance and style, all year round, the maximum available natural lighting of the interior of the premises is used, and in the warm season it is possible to temporarily remove some elements to "get closer to nature." This design is most applicable when sliding glazing of the veranda and terrace is planned. In addition, this is the only option in which it is possible to use panoramic glazing of the veranda.

However, along with a host of advantages, the frameless design also has a number of serious disadvantages. It does not allow you to create a warm version of the terrace. The lack of a rigid frame also limits the ability to supply mosquito nets. Insulating glass joints is practically insoluble. And, perhaps, the most significant disadvantage is the very high cost of creating such an extension.

Despite the significant functional disadvantages of this option, the popularity of frameless structures is growing - apparently, for most of those wishing to install it, aesthetic aspirations significantly exceed the requirements for the functionality of the structure.

Partial glazing

Most often installed in wooden house or country houses. Such a situation may appear if it is planned to glaze an already partially wired veranda or a terrace with blank walls. Most often, it is supposed to glaze only one front wall of the room.

The advantages of such glazing are obvious:

• minimum construction time;
• low cost;
• the possibility of partial repair and replacement individual elements modular design of the veranda;
• ease of installation, which allows you to carry out all the work yourself without additional costs.

The disadvantages include an extremely limited view compared to other types of glazing. In addition, such a veranda or terrace does not actually stand out in the overall structure of the house and outwardly looks just like another room of a whole house block.

Panoramic type of glazing

It is a special case of a frameless structure, when only one wall (adjacent to the house) is deaf, and the rest are transparent glass. Such constructive solution can be a real highlight of the whole house, opening up a wide view of the surrounding landscapes. It is especially worth noting the option when the owner makes from transparent materials and the ceiling of the veranda.

The pluses include:

• broad overview;
• high aesthetics and appearance;
• maximum natural illumination.

In addition to the aforementioned negative properties of all frameless structures, the disadvantages include complete openness - your whole life is played out like on a stage for the residents of a neighboring summer cottage.

Important! To minimize the openness of panoramic verandas for neighboring views, glass with a mirrored or polarized coating can be used. But this will raise the cost of construction incredibly.

Frame construction materials

The most common are frame structures in the arrangement of verandas, terraces and freestanding gazebos. But the material that is used in them can be very different and significantly affect the functionality of the extension.

The most used are the following types of material:

• Wood. The version with wooden frames is an “unfading classic of the genre”. Such verandas emphasize the taste and material security of the owner. In this case, the frames can be made independently, or you can purchase finished windows European-style double-glazed windows are the most expensive of the options available on the market today.

The advantages include modularity (the ability to repair or replace individual elements) and sufficient long term service (in the case of a euro window - very long). The temperature in a room with such glazing is maintained more evenly. In addition, such frames "breathe", they create a positive microclimate in the premises.

Disadvantages:

1. high price (refers to purchased structures);
2. wood care requirements: do not dry out, constant care, high-quality anti-fungal treatment and treatment against insect pests.

• PVC (metal-plastic) - the most popular way in the construction of verandas and glazing terraces.

The undoubted advantage of this choice is its prevalence, a wide selection of models and color options finishes. Such frames are easy to maintain and require minimal maintenance, have high heat and sound insulation characteristics. Due to the prevalence and popularity among consumers, manufacturers produce options in a wide range of prices - "for every pocket."

And of the most significant negative points, a relatively short operating time should be noted, as well as the impossibility of replacing individual structural elements.

Important! Reinforced plastic has a significant dead weight. This must be taken into account when choosing it as a material for arranging the glazing of the veranda. For this reason, it may be necessary to arrange a foundation for glazed walls.

• Aluminum profile. For verandas and terraces that do not provide for insulation, it is used quite often.

A significant advantage of aluminum profiles is their very long service life (more than 85 years), low weight of profiles, high level strength. The possibility of installing elements is also important. large sizes, a variety of design solutions and additional parts (doors, locks, handles, hinges, etc.)

The main disadvantage is suitability only for cold rooms, and when used in a residential building, additional costs are required for thermal insulation.

Types of glass used

For glazing, glass of various types can be used, most often this is due to the chosen structure of the structure. The main types of glass and their use:

1. Common window glass- the cheapest and easiest option. For frame structures;
2. Stained glass is a more expensive version of the previous one. It differs only aesthetically;
3. Tempered glass type. Used in frameless structures. Not subject to self-processing;
4. Laminated glass is also used without frames. Structurally more complicated and more expensive than the previous ones - it consists of many layers of thin glass with polymer interlayers. Does not give fragments when broken, cannot be processed;
5. Energy saving glass. The most expensive and structurally complex. They are used in frame constructions of warm verandas;
6. Double-glazed windows are usually purchased complete with a frame. Good thermal and noise insulation. They are used in frame structures;
7. Using polycarbonate instead of traditional glass.

As can be seen from the above, the choice of options for glazing a veranda in a country house or in a country house is not too difficult if you have sufficient information about available options and their advantages with disadvantages.

A summer cottage, regardless of whether you have a wooden cottage or a stone one, is a kind of visiting card of the building, and, moreover, in cold weather it is the most rational place to relax and receive guests.

On the veranda, you can install a biofireplace, break a winter greenhouse, and, at the expense of panoramic glazing, with comfort and without hindrance to admire the landscape even in bad weather.

We think in advance - a project or reconstruction of the glazing of the veranda

It is good if a covered veranda is designed at the stage of developing a new solution country house... However, even in the existing building, the old veranda can be turned into a very cozy place.

• 1. If your task is to make the veranda functional, but not to use it as part of the living room, you can install conventional sliding or hinged windows... In this case good decision become aluminum or plastic systems which will let in a maximum of light on the veranda and at the same time will allow you to maintain a comfortable temperature.
• 2. The solution to exit to the veranda can be plastic or aluminum doors with double-glazed windows, as well as sliding doors or portal systems.
• Remember - the sashes of any of the above glazing systems must necessarily open inward, this is important to ensure a full flow of fresh air.
• 3. If you plan to use the veranda only in the summer, then you can think about frameless glazing from floor to shelf, for example, the Lumon system. In this case, the veranda will not only be cozy, but also luxurious, and the glazing will not obscure the panorama, and you can enjoy nature to the fullest!

Eco-style cottage - wooden frames and modern plastic windows

Often the owners are tasteful, intending to create an emphatically natural wood country house, are faced with the problem of finding the stylistic unity of the facade and window structures.

In the case of glazing a veranda, it is even more important to ensure that it forms a single whole with the entire building.

• 1. Large wooden frames will look very appropriate as a glazing option, especially if the main structure is made of new sawn timber - for example, timber. All the advantages of wood in this case will become the advantages of your windows - high-quality heat preservation, water resistance.
• 2. PVC windows appropriate in a densely populated holiday village, where sound insulation is especially important in the season of influx of tourists. However, here you need to not overdo it with the style of window selection. On the one hand, double-glazed windows can be made of the size and shape you need, on the other, often such windows are installed on the veranda adjacent to wooden facade, look rough and unnatural. However, there are such decoration methods. plastic profile like painting and lamination, which will help to harmoniously fit plastic into the exterior of the country house.
• 3.
