Projects of houses from a bar of a window to the floor. Log houses with large windows

A modern combination: a house made of laminated veneer lumber and panoramic glazing

Panoramic glazing of wooden houses is impractical, technically difficult, and leads to heat loss. All this is true, but only for solid wood houses. When building from laminated veneer lumber, using high-quality double-glazed windows and observing installation technology, you can forget about most of the shortcomings and technical limitations.

Did you want a cottage with panoramic glazing, floor-to-ceiling windows, and French balconies? With competent design of houses from glued laminated timber, up to 90% of the walls can be made of glass.

Advantages of panoramic windows in the construction of houses from laminated veneer lumber

1. Daylight. Even on a cloudy day, you can do without electric lamps - sunlight is good for your health and reduces the cost of paying for electricity.
2. Large transparent panels. The glass wall offers maximum visibility. Such windows on the ground floor or veranda create an indescribable feeling - the grass rises to your feet, and in winter, a step away from a warm room, snow drifts begin.
3. Attractive appearance. A wooden cottage with panoramic windows is in trend - it is difficult to imagine a "old type" house with small loopholes and dark rooms in a modern cottage village.

This is what panoramic glazing looks like in the SP-265 project with a second light

Glazing occupies such an important place that during construction, panoramic windows are ordered even for toilets and bathrooms, and glass inserts are made in all accessible places. Depending on the conditions, transparent, partially frosted, tinted, mirrored or colored glass is used.

Question:
If panoramic glass in a wooden house is so good, then why not build an all-glass cottage?

Answer:
Already built, and not one. Glued laminated timber beams in such projects are only a supporting structure. The rest of the area (up to 90%) is occupied by transparent and translucent glass. But panoramic glazing also has disadvantages.

Disadvantages of large windows

1. Cleanliness requirements. Dust and stains are visible on the glass.
2. Burnout of interior and furniture. The sun's rays harm surfaces, and over time, traces of burnout appear in a brightly lit room. The problem is solved by installing double-glazed windows with a special coating (these are the ones used in GOOD WOOD).
3. Decreased thermal insulation. Especially noticeable when using inexpensive double-glazed windows, without recycling engineering networks. Competent calculation of heating, ventilation with recuperation, the use of energy-saving models reduce heating costs.

Technical solutions for the design of houses from laminated veneer lumber with panoramic glazing

Heating

Standard radiators spoil the view of the window "on the floor", so other models are more often used for heating:

1. Warm skirting board. The radiator is installed hidden, creates an air flow, heats the glass and at the same time removes condensation from the surface;
2. Built-in convector. Floor-mounted, models with forced and natural air circulation can be used;
3. Thermal curtains. Installed on the side or on top, they cut off cold air with a warm stream even with an open window.

If the owner prefers ordinary radiators, then it is possible to use the original models, which become an additional decoration of the house.

Double-glazed windows

The time has passed when up to 50% of the heat went through windows and cracks - modern energy-saving double-glazed windows are not inferior in terms of thermal insulation properties to a wall.

Versions of the energy-saving multifunctional glass unit:

• a special coating on the outer glass protects against summer heat, and keeps it warm in winter;
• low-emission spraying on the inner layer - additional protection against heat loss;
• two sealed chambers are filled with argon.

As a result, a 40 mm glass unit provides a heat transfer resistance of 0.8 m2 * s / W - about 15 cm of wood, but without a discount for natural defects (cracks, changes in moisture).

It is possible to install structures made of plastic, wood or aluminum - all options provide the required thermal insulation values. The main conditions for keeping warm are the correct choice of a double-glazed window and professional installation.

To increase the strength and safety, they use anti-vandal models made of tempered glass, triplex. The surface is not afraid of accidentally flying off stone, it is resistant to scratches.

Design options for wooden houses with panoramic windows

1. For classic houses made of laminated veneer lumber

Installation of panoramic windows in all house projects is possible. Depending on the task, we make a glass facade, enlarge window blocks, install blank panels, swing, sliding and folding sashes.

During installation, it is necessary to take into account the shrinkage of the wall, periodic adjustment of the position. Real shrinkage of laminated veneer lumber reaches 1-2%, but GOOD WOOD engineers add a double margin to the project - up to 4%. To compensate, a technological gap between the frame and the wall is used. The main advantage of laminated veneer lumber, from the point of view of large-area glazing, is the uniformity and predictability of shrinkage. We are confident that the frames in the houses will remain straight and the glass intact.

The position of the beams is adjusted using screw jacks. Support on window and door blocks is impossible, therefore special jacks are installed in the opening, in the intervals between the frames.

1. Fachwerk

The updated technology is suitable for the use of glass blocks when filling the cells - instead of the standard cake with thermal insulation. A feature of modern half-timbered houses is frameless glazing. Double-glazed windows are installed in the "windows" of the frame with appropriate protection against shrinkage. It was the half-timbered house that became an example of an environmentally friendly glass house - beams and racks occupy only 10-20% of the area, the rest of the space can be filled with glass.

1. Verandas and terraces

Glazed veranda - the future winter garden

To protect open areas, it is possible to use warm and cold glazing. Lift-and-slide structures open up to 50% of the area in good weather. Accordion glass doors are stacked, the free space increases up to 80%. Cold frameless glazing systems do without racks - the panels move to the sides, and the terrace (balcony, veranda) is 95% free.

If necessary, panoramic glazing is installed in winter gardens, balconies, bay windows, verandas, gazebos.

Projects of houses from a bar with panoramic windows from an architect

There are many ready-made projects from laminated veneer lumber with prices, layouts, detailed descriptions. In some projects, elements of panoramic glazing are used - for the facade, living room, veranda, second light.

Do you want to create your own project? Architects organically build in panoramic glazing, calculate the parameters of the structure. The price for an individual project of a turnkey laminated veneer lumber house is discussed separately. You can meet with an architect at a convenient location and discuss options with different budgets.

So is it possible to build wooden houses with panoramic glazing?

It is possible and necessary. And we are doing it successfully. Are you offered a cottage with standard windows? First, look at what panoramic windows look like in a wooden house: photos of projects, finished objects.

Panoramic glazing is beautiful, practical and safe. And most importantly, since childhood, many have dreamed of living in such an open and spacious house. It is now possible.

Objects can be viewed: go to the construction site, to the demonstration houses, talk to an engineer, builders.

Typical projects are popular as they deserve attention for their budget price. However, more and more often, owners of land plots, who are not constrained in funds, want to get a country house for use with a claim for refinement and choose a log house with panoramic windows, that is, with a large percentage of glazing.

You need to know that such objects have significant nuances of construction and operation. Therefore, before starting construction, you should carefully study the literature on this matter, analyze all the pros and cons, so as not to be disappointed in the future.

Glazing features

If we talk about specific rooms, then most often large - from floor to ceiling - windows are used on the facades of the attic, ground floor, living room, in the bay window, in buildings with double light. Object styles can be different: from minimalism to modern and retro. What is remarkable about the glazing of a large part of the house:

1. It is extraordinarily beautiful. In this way, the owners let in a significant part of nature into the room, even if it is located outside the windows. Such buildings should be erected in an area that is at least different from the cityscape.
2. The house, as a rule, is located in a secluded place, otherwise a significant part of the entourage will be lost, and it will not be possible to achieve calmness and silence.
3. Of the design features. The big advantage of the object is that it is lightweight: glass weighs less than a log or timber.

However, no matter how beautiful a wooden object with panoramic glazing is, there are much more disadvantages in its construction and operation than all the advantages combined. Let's list:

In addition to the listed features of the construction and operation of such buildings, experts assess them as unprofitable, considering all the costs and further attractiveness for investors: it is much more difficult to sell log houses with panoramic windows than a log house with inserted metal-plastic double-glazed windows. Owners should assess their own strengths and capabilities in advance, and then decide to purchase such housing.

Combined construction

If, nevertheless, the desire to own a house with a panoramic view outweighs reasonable arguments, then it is worth approaching the individual design especially carefully, where such architectural moments will complement the quite usual ones. For example:

In any case, the construction of such a structure is difficult. It requires the most accurate calculations in all areas - from the foundation to the insertion of double-glazed windows.

Legal basis and decorative part of the construction site

Very often, the owners are eager to have French windows without fail because of their beauty, but at the same time they do not assume that the construction should be carried out according to all the rules and conditions. If one of them is not given, then the idea, unfortunately, remains a dream. Therefore, before starting the process, it is important not only to consider options for window systems, but also to combine them with the legal framework. For example: When all the bureaucratic steps are completed and the house meets the construction conditions, you should also think about options for panoramic windows that will not harm the finances and design features of the building:

1. Traditional block. Occupies up to 50% of the wall area. Has a varied shape - trapezoid, triangle, semicircle, ellipse.

   Rounded shapes are inappropriate if the object does not contain at least no other similar elements. Better to leave your choice on the "angular" options or the traditional rectangular shape.

2. Glazed ledges - balconies, bay windows, verandas, etc. They are the easiest to work with and, with a certain skill, are done by hand. It is important to take into account the soil conditions for the selection of the foundation and carefully calculate the roofing system, since it will exert the greatest pressure on the set of double-glazed windows.

To reduce problems when operating a house made of laminated veneer lumber with panoramic windows, it is important to choose the right double-glazed windows. In no case should they be single-glazed, three or four cameras are the best solution.

So, only the owner who has previously assessed the subsequent comfort or, conversely, the complex operation of such an object, can decide to build a house or a summer house with panoramic glazing. To make a decision, it is worth using the advice of the specialists of the design bureau and clarifying any details of the issue.
