The design of buildings for any purpose is carried out taking into account certain window sizes depending on the requirements of the necessary lighting of the rooms. The data of the indicator of illumination depend on the dimensions of the building, its purpose, level natural light and other factors. Also great importance has the ability of the window block to let light into the room.

The ratio of room size and window size is determined by a generally accepted formula based on established building codes and regulations. These standards define permissible value coefficient of illumination in public and residential premises located north of 45 degrees and south of 60 degrees of latitude. For example, if the building is located north of 60 degrees, then a factor of 1.2 must be applied. If the building is located south of 45 degrees north latitude, then the illumination should be determined using a coefficient equal to 0.75. The indicators are calculated with the condition of mandatory window washing, depending on the location of the building. So, it is necessary to clean windows in buildings located not in polluted areas of the city at least 2 times a year, and in buildings located in industrial areas, windows should be cleaned at least 4 times a year. In addition, the ability of a window opening to transmit light is affected by the number of glasses and the distance between them. Since the light rays are refracted and absorbed (if there are more than 2 glasses in the frame), the illumination in the room is significantly reduced.

During the construction of certain buildings, standard GOST for window sizes. However, in some non-standard cases, indicators may be adjusted. Depending on the type of window frame, standard window sizes are distinguished for:

• double glazing window unit;
• triple glazing window unit;
• single glazing, terrace frames.

In accordance with GOST 11214-86, 23166-99 standard sizes are established window openings height at 60; 90; 120; 135; 150 and 180 cm and 60 wide; 90; 100; 120; 135; 150 and 180 cm and provided for humidity of 8-12%.

Standard sizes windows consist of a set of section elements and glasses directly. For example, if a standard window unit with a width of 1320 mm, a side section of 85 mm and an average section of 130 mm, then the width of the glass in each casement must be at least 525 mm. At the same time, approximately 7.5 mm of glass should be included in the window trim on all sides. After carrying out simple calculations, it turns out that the apparent width of the glass is 510 mm. The standard size of the window opening also depends on the construction of the walls and the dimensions of the quarter. Below are tables of typical window sizes with approximate prices.

Sizes of windows in residential premises.

It happens that in the same panel house they differ by 10-15 cm. In such situations, you have to forget about standard sizes and, to measure the size of windows, you need the help of a qualified specialist. A two-leaf standard window must comply with the following dimensions: height 1300 mm and width 1400 mm, for a three-leaf window the standard size is: width from 2050 to 2070 mm, height 1400 mm. It is to these indicators of standard window sizes that it is necessary to equalize during the construction of residential buildings in order to avoid difficulties with possible further replacement of windows.

In Khrushchev window size depends on the width of the window sills. In cases where the window has wide window sills, the size is 1450 mm by 1500 mm for two leaves, and 2040 mm by 1500 mm for three leaves. Narrow window sills suggest window sizes for two sashes 1300 mm by 1350 mm and for three sashes 2040 mm by 1350 mm.

For size calculation skylights , Besides standard parameters, the angle of the roof slope is taken into account. There is a pattern, which consists in the fact that the height of the window directly depends on the flatness of the roof. The distance between the rafters should be at least 4-6 cm wider than the window frame.

Despite the fact that in one typical house may not match, based on the type of house, you can roughly determine the size of the windows. Moreover, on the issue of defining window dimensions The angle of incidence of the sun's rays is also important.

Sizes of plastic windows.

PVC windows can be of any size and be absolutely of any complexity. Recently, it has become fashion trend make plastic windows of very large sizes. Such windows look very impressive and beautiful, but it is worth remembering practicality and durability. For example, in order for the structure to last as long as possible, it is better not to make an opening sash with an area of ​​​​more than 900 square meters. mm. Deaf sashes should not be made more than 1000 sq. mm. this limitation is due to the fact that, as a result of increased load, the double-glazed window does not deform in a short time.

Modern technologies make it possible to make a plastic window of non-standard sizes, taking into account all wishes. However, custom-made windows will cost more than standard ones. Whether such spending is justified depends entirely on window opening size.

1. What are the openings in the houses of the 1-335 series (panel Khrushchev, 5 floors) ?

In the houses of this series, regardless of the layout and number of rooms, there are only three types of openings:

• 1280x1340;
• 2080x1340;
• 1285x1340 with door 2070x680.

Choice

Profiles

1. The price of profiles from German and Chinese manufacturers varies markedly. Is it worth overpaying for Rehau or KBE products? ?

Perhaps I will say a seditious thing, but there will be no difference between them in a panel house at all.

Rehau profile systems are superior to Chinese counterparts primarily in bending strength - due to the fact that the manufacturer does not save on the thickness of steel liners. However, the stiffness of the frame plays some role only when large area glazing and significant wind loads.

I have installed at home panoramic windows with Hautec profiles, one of the cheapest on the local market at the time of purchase. total area attic glass gables - 26 square meters. The region is characterized strong winds throughout the winter. Windows have been carrying them without any excesses for three years now.

The window area in any panel is several times smaller than in my attic. And, therefore, less and deforming load. Obviously, the owner may not be afraid for the integrity of the frames and sashes.

Nuance: the first Chinese profiles that appeared on Russian market in the 90s, compromised themselves low PVC quality. They turned yellow in the sun after 2-3 years. Last years I haven't heard any mention of this issue.

accessories

1. You can also save on accessories.?

In no case. The correct service of windows is determined precisely by the quality of the fittings - the thoughtfulness of its design and the wear resistance of steel parts. I strongly recommend to prefer fittings from one of the following list of manufacturers:

• Siegenia;

• Maco;
• Roto;
• Winkhaus.

1. What, besides the brand, you should pay attention to when choosing accessories?

Transom mode (when the sash does not open on hinges, but leans towards the room) is offered for the most part sellers by default. It's really convenient; in particular, the hinged sash will allow you to ventilate the room in the rain without fear of flooding the window sill and floor.

Both windows and balcony doors must be equipped with a sash clamping mechanism - rollers at the top and bottom of the frame. If the sash is fixed only with a central lock, it will not be airtight. Heat loss will be a burden on your wallet, and cold drafts are not the best guest in the house.

Microventilation (it is possible to fix the sash by turning the handle in the half-open position) is also an undoubted advantage. A little later I will tell you why ventilation is so important in apartments with plastic windows.

Double-glazed windows

1. Which double-glazed windows should be preferred - single-chamber or double-chamber?

Instructions vary depending on where you live.

If your region is characterized by cold winters with temperatures below -30 degrees, your choice is double-glazed windows with energy-saving glass (for example, 4 - 10 - 4 - 10 - 4i).

Reference: i-glass differs from ordinary glass by sputtering, which is opaque in the infrared part of the spectrum. Accordingly, it reduces heat loss due to radiation.

A popular solution for the central part of the country is a double-glazed window with ordinary glasses.

Finally, in the south (including the Crimea, where I live) they use in great demand windows with single-chamber energy-saving double-glazed windows (4 - 16 - 4i). In particular, this is how the notorious panoramic windows in my attic are assembled.

Mounting

1. Is the installation different plastic windows in a socket from the same operation in a brick building?

There is no fundamental difference. Here step technology do-it-yourself installation of plastic windows in a panel house:

• We dismantle the old window. The box will have to be cut in several places. hand saw or a jigsaw, then it breaks out with a mount;

• We clean the opening from the remnants of waterproofing and debris;
• We drill in a new window frame with removed sashes holes for screws with dowels;
• We set the window to the horizon according to the building level;
• We drill a wall through the previously drilled holes in the frame;
• We fix the window frame;

Use only plastic dowels. Wooden chopsticks with fluctuations in humidity dry out and fall out. The window will only be supported by mounting foam, which is not very good in terms of its resistance to wind loads.

• We put the sash in place;
• We fix the tide. The seam between it and the box can be additionally passed with silicone sealant;
• We foam the gap between the box and the opening around the entire perimeter;
• We cut it to size and set the window sill on wooden supports at the level, after which we sit it on the foam. At the time of its setting, it is better to load the window sill: the foam noticeably increases in volume.

1. How to trim the slopes?

Outside - cement plaster with fine finish facade putty (cement or acrylic). After puttying, the slopes should be painted with any white facade paint: The room becomes visibly brighter.

Internal slopes can be finished:

• Drywall. He sits on gypsum glue or ordinary putty. The seams are puttied with obligatory reinforcement with sickle or fiberglass;
• Plaster. If the opening is normally ventilated, you can use not only cement, but also gypsum mixtures;
• plastic panels. Wall panels are inserted into the starting profile fixed to the box with self-tapping screws. adjoining plastic slopes closes to the wall with a decorative corner.

Ventilation

1. Why do you need window ventilation??

All panel houses of Soviet construction are provided only exhaust ventilation. Exhaust grilles located in the kitchen, toilet and bathroom. tributary fresh air to the rooms according to the project was provided with gaps in wooden frames Oh.

Replacing large slotted wooden windows on hermetically sealed plastic, we completely deprive the apartment supply ventilation. The consequences are quite predictable:

• stale air;
• A drop in the oxygen content in it;
• Gradual increase in humidity levels;
• Dropping out excess moisture in the form of condensate. Usually, glass is the first to dampen, then water appears on the frames and slopes of windows.

1. How to provide ventilation?

Here are some of the more obvious solutions:

• Install a supply valve on the window frame or in a niche under the window sill;
• When ordering a window, choose fittings with micro-ventilation;
• Screw a comb to the frame - a simple device that allows you to fix the sash open by 3 - 5 millimeters;

In the photo - a comb for fixing the sash in a half-open position.

• Finally, just cut a couple of pieces of sealant on one of the sashes. On the box, a segment 3-5 centimeters long is cut from the bottom, on the sash itself - from the top. The spacing of the channels on different sides of the window eliminates drafts and allows the air to be heated on the way to the room.

Conclusion

I sincerely hope that my recommendations will help the dear reader in choosing and installing windows. As always, I would appreciate your comments and additions. Additional information your attention will be offered a video in this article. Good luck, comrades!

If you want to express gratitude, add a clarification or objection, ask the author something - add a comment or say thanks!

The design of buildings of any type, residential or administrative and industrial, involves focusing on certain norms and standards. Engineering Communication, door and window openings in any case must comply with the standards prescribed in the documentation approved at the state level. Norms are not invented to complicate life, but are based on certain data obtained empirically and laboratory studies. Window openings are no exception.

Residential Standards

The standardization of window openings is designed primarily to regulate the intensity of lighting in the room. The gradation according to the parameters of the openings depends on the purpose of the room. But not only this is taken into account:

Dimensions are calculated based on building codes and regulations, and it simply cannot be otherwise. For each dwelling, the rules determine the mandatory value of the illumination coefficient in our latitudes - south of 60˚ and north of 45˚ latitude. At the same time, it is assumed that glass cleaning will be carried out twice a year in ordinary rooms and four times a year for regions with a certain amount of emissions of combustion products. It is clear that this refers to environmentally unreliable areas. Nevertheless, one can talk on this topic for a long time, but the dimensions do not change from this. The first table is for standard single-leaf windows.

Double and triple leaf windows

For areas that are located on the border areas with the indicated latitudes, there is a certain correction factor. If the building is located south of the region specified in the standard, then the correction factor will be 0.75. If the house is built to the north, then the opening area should be increased - the coefficient increases by 1.2 times. Recent times another important coefficient is taken into account - the number of glasses in the package and the distance between them. The fact is that no one will individually calculate the refractive index of the beam in a triple-glazed window, and the lighting efficiency will deteriorate from this.

For this, GOST took into account such modifications of window blocks. However, there are certain average sizes that are suitable for most areas and most insulating glass designs. The table shows the dimensions for a two-leaf and three-leaf window, approved by GOST.

Aluminum windows in private houses

If we touched on the topic of the area of ​​​​glazing at home, then it would be simply indecent to keep silent about the aluminum windows that the plastic moved. For obvious reasons - plastic windows are much cheaper. But not about the price, but about the size. And here elegant and luxurious aluminum windows- on the highest level according to the light transmission coefficient. Aluminum windows, by virtue of their design, are simply alien to minimalist design. It is worth seeing aluminum windows once, and you won’t want to look at plastic, although this may be a subjective opinion.

The increased light transmission capacity is provided to windows by the design of specific accessories and fittings. Mechanical and mechatronic hidden systems allowed not only to increase the reliability of the system, but also to seriously increase the glazing area with the same standard openings. Aluminum structures can reach highest quality thermal insulation, noise insulation and burglary resistance according to the European class WK3.

Generally, existing standards on windows, regardless of the material of manufacture, fully cover the need for residential premises in daylight, reacting differently to temperature changes outside the window and in the room. By carefully choosing windows, we will provide a bright, warm and safe home for years to come.

Standards and building codes regulate the size of windows and doors in buildings under construction. But these standards (for example, GOST11214-86) were written 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 the window frame or on the loops 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 from it for typical housing stock buildings:

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

When ordering a door to a balcony or an entire balcony block on your own, all necessary measurements you have to do it yourself. For greater confidence 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 the paired design of the window and door 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 free services professional freezer. When calling a specialist from a company that will manufacture and install a window and door unit, the customer is not responsible for any discrepancies between the manufactured products and the existing openings. In this case, the manufacture correct option products or necessary work to expand the opening becomes the responsibility of the contractor. If the wrong product is made according to the size of the customer, get ready for additional expenses.

Consequences of measurer errors

If the structure made after measurements is smaller than necessary for correct installation, you will get big gaps. These voids between the frame and the opening will have to be blown out with foam, and the thickness of the slopes will subsequently be increased. With an increased size of the manufactured structure, it is necessary to expand the opening to obtain the necessary clearances for correct installation.

In both cases, the "problem" window, door or the entire prefabricated structure can later remind of itself by deformation, freezing, 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 listing 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 the standards, even in one apartment their sizes will differ due to violation of geometry, spatial position, the presence of irregularities, different thickness walls, thermal insulation used. The possibility of proper installation of the structure of the required dimensions and trouble-free operation of the PVC window and door block is laid at the measurement stage.

Dismantling of the old wooden balcony block is desirable before taking measurements. It is produced in this order:

• The movable sashes are removed, the glass is removed from the deaf ones.
• The window sill and external tide are dismantled.
• The box is disassembled (broken) and removed from the opening.
• Along the perimeter of the opening to the main wall, all plaster and screed are knocked down.
• With a hammer and a chisel, the grooves are cleaned to the brick for the window sill to enter the wall.
• All construction debris is swept away and removed.

If the opening lines have significant deviations from the horizontal and vertical, their perpendicularity is not maintained, they have obvious irregularities - their alignment is possible cement-sand mixture. The necessary reduction of the balcony opening is achieved by brickwork.

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

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

• Frame finished product must necessarily be smaller than the opening. Its abutment or contact with the walls of the opening is not allowed.
• If you insert the finished frame, uniform mounting gaps of 2-5 cm should remain around the perimeter.
• You need to measure both inside and outside the room.
• The width is determined by three measurements - the upper, lower edge of the opening, the middle. The smallest value is taken into account.
• They also determine the height - right, middle, left. Choose the smallest result.

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

Important! While a measuring tool is at hand, they also take measurements and determine the length and width of the window sill and low tide. Window sill: width - the depth of the window opening to the frame plus the required overhang; length - the width of the opening with the addition of 50-100 mm per side for entering the wall. Low tide: length - equal to the width of the opening, measured with 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(optionally up to 50 mm).

Checkout

According to the results of measurements - independent, made by a specialist or duplicated and verified - an order is issued for the manufacture of the design of a window and door unit for a balcony opening. In doing so, the following points must be taken into account:

• 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 window have the same height. By default in lower part doors insert a plastic sandwich panel. If a glass package is required, indicate this in the application.
• It is necessary to indicate which glazed areas will be opened and how - a folding, hinged or combined option. If this moment is missed, all openings will be deaf.
• Indicate, taking into account which pedestal profile the window height is measured.
• For warm balcony it is possible to foresee and order from the manufacturer the presence of ventilation slots at the top of the window and at the bottom of the door.

Helpful information! The exception when ordering the possibility of tilting the door by 5-7% reduces the price of the ordered structure.

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

Before building a house (this applies not only to private houses, but also to apartment buildings), it is imperative to calculate the size of the windows. A window is not just a part of a home. It fills the premises with light, solar heat, enriches with oxygen through the open window. In addition, the size of the window opening determines technical specifications building boxes. This is important both for paperwork (in the case of new construction), and for the subsequent operation of the dwelling. Therefore, you should take this issue very seriously and perform preliminary calculations.

The size of the windows should be optimal, matched to a specific room and not go beyond the norms established by law. All calculations are performed in accordance with the requirements of GOST. Violation of these standards entails the imposition of an administrative fine, and the obligation to bring the window opening in accordance with the regulations. It is better to entrust such calculations to experts in order to avoid unnecessary expenses later.

Often on the Internet they do not indicate the size of the plastic window and simply write “standard”. This means that the window will be 1200 x 1200 in size. This does not always fit under the opening, so you should immediately specify what type and series the future window will be in order to avoid subsequent installation problems. It should also be taken into account that in different regions manufacturers may have their own idea of ​​a "standard size". To clarify, consider the generally accepted classification.

Types of apartments, depending on the window opening:

• "Khrushchev";
• "Stalinka";
• series 600.11;
• series 600;
• series 505;
• series 504;
• series 137;
• private house;
• panel house.

Types of plastic windows depending on the number of wings:

• bivalve;
• tricuspid;
• non-standard.

Each type and type exists with its own prescribed standards, which construction companies adhere to. Windows manufacturing companies are well aware of these standard varieties, so it will be enough just to name the type of your home and they will pick you up correct window. However, even with such detailed instructions, careful measurements cannot be neglected. Relying on standards and not measuring the opening, you can get a window that either does not fit into the allotted space at all, or will form cracks where cold and moisture will immediately penetrate.

Rice. 1. Standards for double-leaf windows.

Standardization of window blocks and openings

During the drafting of the project for any type of building, window openings are required. Their sizes are standardized and depend, first of all, on the area of ​​the room, its purpose and position. The windows in the northern part of the building can be larger than in the southern part, because the sun looks there less often and less light enters the room. In addition, given the climatic features of the region, the windows on north side buildings must meet certain temperature regime. If a technological moments do not comply, windows will leak in winter.

The rules for calculating standard window sizes are indicated in state regulations. According to special formulas, the illumination coefficient of premises for any purpose is considered (for residential and public, different standards are provided), located south of 60 and north of 45 degrees latitude. When calculating indicators, the need to clean double-glazed windows is taken into account at least twice a year. But this is provided only for buildings that are not exposed to heavy pollution. Otherwise, you will have to clean a little more often.

When the building is located south of 45 degrees latitude, in this case, the illumination level is multiplied by a factor of 0.75, and if north of the above limit, then the factor is increased by 1.2 times. The physical and emotional state depends on the accuracy of the calculation. It is a proven fact that with insufficient lighting, a person becomes more irritable, quickly becomes depressed.

Rice. 2. Each type of building has its own standards for window openings.

Windows in Khrushchev

During socialism, apartments were built - Khrushchevs in order to provide each citizen with personal housing.
