The charms of a glazed veranda

The veranda is a small design on a lightweight foundation. This is something between the living room, a gazebo in the garden or an open terrace and an excellent addition to suburban apartments, which adorns architectural glazing and ensemble and protects the entrance to the house from poor weather conditions. Accordingly, construction standards, construction is classified as unheated.

Many of the owners prefer to spend their free time precisely on the veranda over a cup of coffee. On a hot summer night, they can sleep in the open air, listening to the singing of birds and feeling the breath of a light breeze on their cheeks. True, on the open veranda, as in the garden, a person is not safe from unexpected rain and mosquitoes.

In order to actively use the veranda as an additional room for nine months a year, it is necessary to ask the question of glazing of the veranda, which allows you to extend the pleasure of pastime in cold and incredible weather. Moreover, the price of glazing the veranda is not so high if you approach work wisely.

The windows are the main building element of this room. The larger their size, the more light falls on the veranda. In addition, if desired, on a hot day you can completely remove the window frames and hang light curtains in their place. In this case, it is necessary to provide a place for storing the shot frames.

Windows for the veranda

Recently, windows have recently appeared on sale, which are very different from standard products with their sizes and profile width. When engaged in the construction of the veranda, they try to install the windows of small dimensions with wide bindings, often prefer forged lattices.

Swing models

This option is the most common. Wide windows can be made of 2 or 3 parts, only one half opens, and the rest - no. Swing structures provide minimal heat loss.

When calculating the cost of glazing the veranda and designing the window width, you should pay attention to the convenience of opening the frame. After all, an open window frame, which has a width of about 1 meter, protrudes greatly from the window opening. Therefore, it is customary to choose narrow window products with a width of 0.6-0.8 meters.

Sliding models

Sliding structures are very practical in terms of aesthetics. Open frames do not take the space and are practically not noticeable. They move on special skills, however, the gaps between the frames during this provoke an increased heat leak.

Having chosen the aluminum glazing of the veranda, in the struggle for tightness and heat, many sliding windows for the veranda are made with an attractive mechanism, but this often complicates the procedure for opening the window. The most easy to use are sliding window products from PVC.

Sliding multi -page models

Sliding multi -page structures are designed for use on wide window spans. Opening is carried out according to the principle of work of accordion or bus doors: the common canvas is divided into several narrow frames that are interconnected.

The window opening opens with the shift at the same time all frames. Such systems are most often installed during the construction of an open veranda for the summer period, and sometimes with the aim of transforming the veranda into the terrace.

Glazing the veranda with your own hands

What you want to get the glazing of the veranda must be determined even before construction. Usually, during the work, developers very rarely change their plans for the construction of the veranda because each type of glazing of the veranda with their own hands involves a certain training of door and window openings.

The project of glazing of the veranda

If you decide on your own to fulfill the veranda, then you should start with the preparation of the project for the performance of glazing. Each owner sees his own veranda in his own way, but there are basic rules, which are mandatory for all varieties of such buildings, regardless of their area and purpose.

Even with modest dimensions, the veranda should be light and this can be spacious by installing large windows that provide an excellent overview of the surrounding area. Plan glazing so that as many wings are opened as possible, providing an influx inside the room of fresh air. Consider protection from insects and buy anti -muscular nets.

If all the measurements and calculations are made correctly, then such an event is quite realistic in one day. Simple options for glazing the veranda can be done independently, and for more complex installation, specialists should be invited.

Glazing of the veranda with old frames

To begin with, take up the order of the old window frames. Peel the wooden surfaces of the frame from cracked paint, if any. Using the putty, align the joints of the parts and chips of the binding. After such an operation, thoroughly dry the frames.

Small the front surfaces of the frame with a small grinder, remove the excess putty and the pile of wood, which rose during moisture. Follow the decoration of the window frame depending on the result you rely on. If you want to preserve the natural pattern and color of wood, it is better to use transparent varnishes as a finishing material.

Old window frames can be finished using hiding, moisture -resistant colors, which are designed for external decoration.
Directly glazing of the veranda with old frames boils down to the installation of glasses in the old frame, fastening and sealing. For saving and the convenience of glass of the desired size, it is best to order a service from glass workers.

In the grooves of a glazed frame, apply a sealant layer of 2-3 centimeters. And dry slightly. Place glass cut into the grooves and slightly press to their surface, and then conduct repeated sealing along the perimeter of the glass. With the help of a pre -finished stack of wood, glass is attached around the perimeter. It remains only to install the frame in the window opening.

Glazing of the veranda with one glass with one glass

Such glazing of the veranda is most often used in dachas, where the owners spend their time only in the warm period. But it is this technique that is classical and easy to implement.

You can replace cracked and broken glass yourself without outside help.
Summer residents opt for this version, since it makes no sense to spend money more seriously if no one uses a garden house in a winter season.
 

Modern processing of wood and the use of new varnishes, impregnation and colors save developers from the need to often paint these windows and make the material more durable.

The rattles of the glasses in the frame, the entry of dust and the rampant drafts are excluded, because during the work it is customary to use a transparent silicone sealant and new types of rubber seal.

Glazing the extension with wooden windows

This technique is considered more expensive even in comparison with the price of high -quality metal -plastic windows. It is stopped on it by those owners who especially value comfort and care about creating a favorable atmosphere in the house. Organizations that produce euro -water from wood announce a long service life of these products.
 
The order and installation of window frames occur after the creation of the openings. Their primary installation requires the participation of specialists, but you can carry out all future withdrawal and installation yourself. The window blocks should not be too heavy and large, but should definitely fit under the available openings.
 

It is customary to order wooden euro -covers mainly for heated verandas, where the owners want to spend time in the cold season. Since such an extension is often problematic to warm, the issue of the energy -saving properties of the veranda is acute.

In order to minimize heat leakage, double -glazed windows are made of special glass, which in winter does not miss the energy from the veranda to the street, and in the warm period prevents too strong heating of the room with sunlight.

Glazing with metal -plastic windows

The veranda can be completely glazed with metal -plastic Euro -covers. And it can be a room without heating or a heated room. Depending on the situation and it is customary to choose the type of window. Installation of such designs is carried out only by professionals, since in this situation special training is required.

The qualitative characteristics of such structures depend largely on the properties of double -glazed windows. To ensure excellent thermal insulation of the veranda, it is necessary to use glass with special spraying between which inert gas is pumped. The heat conservation is also affected by the profile selected for the manufacture of the structure.

Glazing with sliding panels

Sliding glass panels that form the facade part of the veranda today are in high demand. The glazing of the veranda with an aluminum profile will cost more than other types of glazing, but also effectiveness higher. There are models on sale, which open remotely - the movement provides an electric drive.

Having installed transparent designs made of hardened glass in the veranda, which extend from floor to ceiling, the result is a wonderful overview and the possibility of a full ventilation of the veranda, which, when such panels completely opened, easily turns into a terrace near the house.
 
Systems of sliding windows are beneficial, since when opening they do not take up much space and are suitable for all varieties of buildings. For their installations, the participation of specialists is necessary.

Brightly glazing of the veranda

Today, quickly the stylish nimble glazing of the veranda, which was invented by Finnish experts in the seventies, is in fashion. Such a technology creates the effect of air and light design without frames and vertical racks. The non -firewear is a continuous glass surface, which is made of durable hardened glass.

The system consists of the upper profile and the supporting guide of the lower. Each glass from below and from above is equipped with rollers-toleys that allow sulfuries to move freely along the guides. Glass can be opened completely or in the form of a book.

If you manage to break the stinking glazing, then the glass will be scattered with small crumbs that will not let the person get hurt. The heat -saving indicators of such glazing are slightly lower than that of the frame version, and therefore on such a veranda it will be cold in winter.

Glazing the veranda with polycarbonate

What is better for home, glass or glazing of a veranda with polycarbonate? This question cannot be answered unambiguously. Glazing with polycarbonate will save the owners on electricity, because a high degree of thermal insulation can maintain heat in the room. In addition, cellular polycarbonate is much superior to glass in terms of strength, which helps protect the building from all damage.

Excellent light permeability is inherent to cellular polycarbonate, this is important if you plan to work from time to time or read on the veranda. You can’t do without good daylight in the case of the arrangement of winter gardens. Glazing of greenhouses requires high light permeability and ability to scatter the UV rays, so it will not be possible to find the best material than polycarbonate.

Glazing of the veranda with cellular polycarbonate is possible using the material of any shade and various shapes, since it is inherent in high plasticity. Thus, replacing glass windows with polycarbonate is a profitable and reasonable solution.

Window manufacturing technologies

If you have never made window frames and do not have special equipment at your disposal (at least a combined multioperative circular saw), then you cannot make high -quality window frames on the veranda. There are several technologies that you should know.

Continuous glazing sometimes does not provide for dismantling. A similar technology is considered relevant in the glazing of the room on the principle of creating a deaf window. To do this, attach pre -prepared chopped and polished rails to a wooden lutka using self -tapping screws. Glue on these slats on both sides of the glass on a silicone sealant.

Continuous glazing may be assumed to make single window frames without the possibility of opening, but such windows are easily pulled out at will. The simplest frame can be made from polished timber. It is necessary to fasten the planks of the window frame with the help of metal furniture and long self -tapping screws.

So that the corners are not very thrown into the eyes, you need to cut them into the frame. Take glass, which has a couple of centimeters larger than the internal size of the window frame. It is superimposed on silicone sealant. And on top, the glass is closed with a platband.

Continuous glazing can be done for double frames. The described technology for a single frame should be slightly modified. Make the frames as in the previous case, only the size of the frames should be increased in such a way that they run over each other when closing by 1-1.5 centimeters.

Make sure that when closing the window, the gap is formed at an angle. Be sure to install a silicone seal. The larger the wedge, the denser and easier the frames will be closed. After you organize the normal opening and conjugation of two frames, you can proceed to the installation of the platbands.

There are many ways to make window frames for the veranda on your own, and if desired, you can find a photo of glazing of a veranda for every taste. The originality of the type of veranda directly depends on the design of the windows. The combination of wide and narrow, low and high window openings determines in many ways the face of the facade of the residential building. And if you plan to make insulation in order to extend the period of pastime on the veranda, then along with this, to lengthen the duration of using the veranda, you should purchase infrared heaters.
