If the area of \u200b\u200bthe country house is small, then the optimal solution for its increase will be the construction of a veranda or terrace. It will be a comfortable place to relax the whole family. But if in countries with a warm climate, this design can remain open all year, then in the conditions of our frosty winters it will have to be done closed.
The best option in this case is the glazing of the terrace. In addition to the attractive species, protection against precipitation and cold, the owners get a room with a panoramic view of the site.
Themed Material:
Glazing options
Using windows instead of wall helps save on lighting. Presentations are created by the illusion that they are on the street. But there is a reverse side - the whole room in sight of the neighbors. Therefore, in order not to be on the veranda as in the aquarium, it is worth competently select the type of glazing.
Frame
This method allows you to perform all the work with your own hands and without assistance. Suitable for cold and warm glazing.
Among other advantages:
- the ability to replace items without harm to the whole structure;
- availability of prices for materials and services of masters;
- fast frame assembly.
The minus the use of frames is that they are only suitable for classic buildings of buildings (square, rectangular). Non-standard platforms are not equipped with them.
Frameless
Panoramic or soft glazing.

The fastener system consists of two profiles:
- carrier guide lower;
- top.
On the glasses below and at the top are mounted roller loops so that the sash will be easily moving on the guides, adapters are installed at the joints and sealant is applied.
For such glazing the terrace of a country house, it is necessary that the construction frame is assembled and the roof is installed. The windows can fold the book or open the sliding method.
In case of damage to the glass decays into small crumbs, which reduces the risk of human injury to a minimum.
- it is suitable for sites of any shapes, sizes;
- the veranda looks beautiful;
- one hundred percent overview of the plot;
- for the summer season, part of the design can be removed for air conditioning;
- the maximum stream of natural light is inside the room, and therefore saving electricity.
Among the minuses:
- the impossibility of installing mosquito nets from insects;
- high price of materials;
- low heat saving indicators.
On such a veranda in winter it will be colder than when using a frame type. Solution - Installation of energy-saving glass packages.
Partial
It is used for attachments that are operated exclusively in the warm season. Suitable for arbors, balconies, canopies near the bath. Often it is wooden frames with single glasses, which are installed on the end sides of the structure. Their main appointment is the protection against wind, oblique rain. This option will cost cheaply.
Choose warm or cold glazing
Cold is used to protect the rooms from precipitation, wind, moisture, but its minus is the inability to keep heat inside the veranda.
In the late autumn, the difference in temperatures between the street and the space of the building will be no more than 5⁰ C.
Warm glazing is energy efficient, because it retains heat inside the room with minimal losses. At temperatures on the street in -20 ° C in the building there will be no less than + 21⁰ C.
Types of window opening systems
The choice is strictly individual. Each has pros and cons.
Sliding
Acquires popularity in the private sector. This is the optimal solution if you need to glazed the room with a small area.
The principle of its work is that the sash moves through the guide profiles. Several options:
- such as a wardrobe;
- accordion or book.
Separate parts can be released. Open flaps are not careful, significantly saved free space.
The sliding system is suitable for summer veranda, arbors, but heat loss is observed in winter.
If you decide to choose this type for year-round use, it is better to take profiles from plastic, not aluminum.
Swing
Due to the affordable price and convenience of installation, in demand among the owners of summer houses.
Opening options at least two:
- The window consists of 2 sash. If both dragged the handles on yourself, they will open.
- In the case when the window is wide, then it is made of several parts. One half can open, and the second is not.
The advantage of the swollen system is a high thermal insulation rate with minimal losses.
If you decide to glazed the veranda platform in this way, then it is important to correctly calculate the width of the windows. An open wide window (from 1 m and more) strongly protrudes from the opening.
In addition, you can optionally order sections with a rotary or swivel-folding mechanism.
Types of glass
Depending on the location of the veranda, exploitation and budget, use various materials of glass. Consider them in more detail.
Users are often looking for:
Glazing options
Polycarbonate
Used when arranged greenhouses, greenhouses, winter gardens, summer houses, terraces. Available in several forms. Inexpensive Cellular is considered. It will turn out not only the walls, but also an interesting color ceiling.
Photo: Combined glazing. Front windows - ordinary glass, roof and flanks - polycarbonate.
By its structure, it is very similar to plastic raw materials. Between the two plates, transverse partitions are installed, resembling cells. They form longitudinal gutters, in which the air is delayed, which becomes an obstacle to cold and noise. Hence the advantages of polycarbonate are excellent noise and thermal insulation.
Among other advantages note:
- traffic frequency;
- the ability to dispel ultraviolet rays;
- high flexibility, which allows you to separate the designs of different forms;
- large selection of colors;
- strength;
- low weight;
- low price.
There are no significant drawbacks.
Polycarbonate sheets are necessary for a prepared metal framework.
Glass windows
There are a set of glass of different thickness, mounted on a frame from wood, metalplastic. The number of layers (cameras) affects the price of the veranda. From this material you can make not only walls, but also the doors.
Photo: Gloomy veranda - part of the house
Pros - heat and noise insulation. Assortment is wide, so you can find an option for any budget.
The only drawback is the impossibility of making at home, and the installation is better to entrust to those skilled in the art.
Stitched
One example of unusual glazing veranda is the use of stained glass.
It is considered art drawing on glass. With this technique, paintings are created, floral patterns, abstractions. With this design, you do not need to hang on the windows of the curtains, because the inner space is not viewed from the street, but the illumination of the room is reduced. Natural stained glass windows - expensive pleasure. Many dacha owners create imitation of technology using special films.
Tempered
It is considered the leader among all types of glasses by strength. It is impossible to accidentally smash it, so it is released to glazing it in strictly specified sizes.
The price is high. It is used with a frameless type of installation.
Laminated
Beautiful solution for frameless designs. It has a multilayer structure, therefore it has high strength, resistant to loads. In case of damage to the surface, it does not scatter on the fragments, but scattered with small crumbs.
Standard
Often it is used for self-glazing. Material Ram - Tree. Protects from moisture, precipitation. Strength and thermal insulation are low.
Which profiles are used for glazing
The choice depends on the type of glazing (cold, warm), the design of the building and financial resources of the owners.
Aluminum
Among the benefits of the material are distinguished:
But when choosing, it is necessary to take into account that such profiles will cost expensive and this metal does not retain heat inside the room.
Therefore, when using the veranda, all year round will take care of the warming and heating of the room.
Wood
Refers to the classic glazing method. The cost of profiles is determined by the tree of wood, the design as a whole - also with dimensions, the quality of the sash.
Among the advantages:
- Service life reaches 100 years.
- The ability to replace individual parts.
- High rates of thermal insulation.
- Eco-friendly raw materials.
- They have a vapor-permeable porous structure that allows you to maintain a stable microcirculation of indoor air.
The only drawback is the need for periodic care. To extend the service life, the tree needs to be treated with antiseptics and other means to protect against moisture, insects.
PVC
Surprised type of material. The main advantage is the high thermal insulation of the room.
Completely comes with a mosquito net, which is convenient when opening in the summer.
To other PVC advantages include:
- Individual selection of models. Making windows of unusual forms.
- Color spectrum. Imitation of wood.
- Noise isolation.
- PVC profiles are freely divided into sections.
- Different price level.
- Ease of care. The windows are sufficiently wiped with a damp cloth.
- Service life from 10 to 30 years, warranty.
- Such glazing hermetically.
- Reinforced profiles can perform a support function.
- Light in the assembly.
Minus - when breakdown, the replacement of individual parts is not possible.
Install windows with your own hands
Consider step by step, how to glall the veranda with wooden frames.
Sequence of work:
- Bar or logs that will perform the frame function, process the antiseptic, the flame.
- We establish supports around the perimeter of the site. They split the design to the section. Recommended step - from 1 to 1.2 m.
- Frames or cut out yourself. They must have a tolerance to a gap to 5 mm.
- Vertically secure frames without glasses. Clauses fill in mounting foam.
- The inner part of the grooves process with silicone sealant.
- After a couple of minutes you can insert glass, and once again apply sealant around the perimeter of windows.
- Footprints from silicone disguises a thin rail from a tree (Strapik) and at the same time enhances the position of the glass in the frame.
It must be remembered that the height of the openings should not exceed 2.5 m.
Do not neglect the installation of sings. In the case when glazing is mounted on the base or parapet, they will serve protection for the lower seam from excess moisture, mold.
In addition, the masters advise to make as many opening flaps as possible for normal air ventilation, especially in summer.
Photo Gallery
In our gallery you will find options for glazing terraces, veranda, featuring materials, design, forms.
A huge number of films and illustrations on a quiet life demonstrate gorgeously decorated their own homes where people live in their pleasure. For this reason, in the head of everyone, it was postponed that this is a decisive part of a successful life. Largely gives a feeling of calm and solitude a terrace or a veranda that is glazed.
Features and advantages
Country houses are built in order to have the opportunity to relax from the everyday bustle and working routine. Therefore, people who do not regret money, ennoble their homes with all sorts of attributes of comfort and comfort. It is now difficult to introduce a country house without a terrace or veranda, thanks to which a person can relax and enjoy nature. They allow no departure from civilization to become part of the natural atmosphere. To fully understand the features of the terrace and the veranda, you need to know their definitions.
The terrace is an extension to the house, which in most cases is a platform for recreation.Such an attached area is a room that is not closed from the air is usually equipped with a roof, perilenial fences or a special frame. Often, the terrace is located on the ground, as the extension on the ground is quite simple. There are also cases of its location over the lower floor, if it allows the building structure. Although the upper floors are usually equipped with a veranda.
The veranda is a specially equipped room without heating.
It is designed in the existing building from the side of the wall going outside. Also, the veranda can be an extension to the house. Its feature is that it is placed from the street space with glass coating. Plus, the glass will not prevent merging with nature and enjoy its views.
The verandan and terrace platforms are usually annexes and in their definition are very similar.So they are often confused. This is due to the fact that despite the rigor of the terms, only the owner of the house decides how to organize its veranda or terrace. That is, the terrace can be glazed, and the veranda can be provided with heating. The great experience of the glazing of the extension allowed to impose a large number of functions on this cover. Depending on what is required from a glazed fence, and its type is selected.
The main advantage of the glazing site is that the invisible wall is created, which holds back unwanted influences on the room. So, the unpredictable climate and flocks of insects will not be able to disturb calm. But at the same time, the positive sides of the platforms for recreation remain not affected. After all, visual satisfaction in a glass box is the same as without it. You can fall in love with the feeling that has the opportunity to observe the shower and remain dry.
Due to the glazing of verandan and terraced platforms in the house, a lot of designer ideas can be implemented.
Without extra effort, a family vacation space can be organized, Kompanian gatherings, embody a corner of civilization, which will coexist with nature. And only flutters on the windows can prevent this, which, naturally, you can often wash.
Varieties
Currently, many glazing veranda and terraces are embodied. They are considered individually for each house and relatively desire to its owner and largely depend on the design of an existing building, where an extension will be organized. But you will also need to present yourself inside a cozy corner and determine what you will miss. Next, the identified disadvantages can be calmly smoothed or excluded with glazed walls.
Types of glazing can be classified with respect to the following parameters:
- temperature mode - cold or warm glazing;
- covered volume - complete or partial glazing;
- stylistics of the room - frameless or with frames;
- visual perception - panoramic or not;
- the opening method is sliding and swinging.
Cold and warm
The choice between warm and cold glazing is due to the need to use the veranda every day. If resting on the veranda is planned only in warm season, then there is no need to mount warm glazing. It will be enough cold type, at which the temperature on the veranda will be five degrees more that on the street. Naturally, in winter without additional heating on such a platform, it will be undesirable.
Full and partial
In the case of a complete or partial mounting of the brake, restrictions play an important role that the initial design of the building is played. Full glazing is possible if the veranda is erected from scratch. That is, if there is only a base or frame. But the veranda is often embedded in the ready-made home, and therefore some walls will be sewn to the foundation. In such a situation, only partial glazing platform is made.
Frameless and Ramami
There is no functional need to choose a frame or not to choose them. The question is rather lies in the style of the house and in the designer idea. On the one hand, the glass in the frames are represented by a banal design due to the usual type of home windows. But many designers are flawlessly pick up frames, with the help of which they emphasize the unique features of the room or the surrounding nature. At the same time, the frame glazing is set at a cheapest price, rather fonder. And, accordingly, the repair is partially and completely framework is much simpler.
In the frameless embodiment, there are no holding compounds.Not so long ago, a frameless glass coating was awarded the title of an elite exterior in architecture. However, with the arrangement of the veranda, some disadvantages take place - low tightness, increasing heat loss. It is also outside it is impossible to hang nets that serve as protection against insects indoors.
Panoramic
Often, when choosing a glazing type, preference is preferred by a panoramic option. The way is easy to perform and allows you to fully feel like a part of the surrounding natural space. The whole design is mounted between the finished roof and the floor foundation. Also for its implementation requires the lack of sewn walls.
Sliding and dispenser
Regardless of the selected glazing option, the veranda will have to open. The entrance door to the recreation site can be arranged sliding or swinging. It is clear from the name that the sliding method of discovery implies the sliding of the door flaps. For this, jiggle doors resembling a train coupe.
The coupe door can also be glazed and in its intended move along the guides along the wall. Sliding can occur as familiar with the help of additional coupling fittings or by collecting the "accordion" design along the edges of the day.
Swing is a glazing, in which the door and windows are opening inward or frowning.
There is nothing new and unusual here. Still as well as with ordinary home windows and doors. You can only advise for personal amenities to use modern swinging mechanisms for windows.
The above methods can be glazed both the veranda and terrace.However, it happens that the necessary attributes of the verandas are not so important for the terrace. For example, the veranda is often built in the square of the country house, so it will correctly organize a warm glazing in it. And for the terrace of heat is not so important, and therefore, in this case, you can save.
Selecting a method
The main function of glazing can be called the possibility of heat retention. So, mainly the choice of glazing is to solve whether to put the warm version or not. Cold glazing is just a protective coating. It prevents dust, wind, precipitation and has the ability to printed the platform in the hot season. It is more suitable if you need to glate the terrace.
The veranda is part of the house and often connected to the heating system.Therefore, it makes sense to mount warm glazing. It, in turn, will largely keep warm and will allow to arrive inside the veranda even in winter. Subsequently, the veranda can be a full-fledged residential premises and can even take it in it.
Warm glazing is complex systems to which great operational requirements are entrusted.
For this reason, the installation of such a glass fence should be entrusted to professionals. The correct calculation and high-quality installation will allow you to get from the design, for which it is installed.
Deciding with a functional question, it is necessary to delve into the original construction of the house And to understand what restrictions in the choice makes a place where the glazing is scheduled for the veranda or terrace. If the platform for recreation in the original form is a frameless free space, then you can give yourself freedom of choice. Since there are no restrictions in the foundation, you can freely make a frameless or frame, full or panoramic or any other glazing.
In this case, many prefer frighteless, full glazing. The basis of such limiters is represented by transparent glass surfaces, the thickness of which is 1 centimeter. Glass squares are close to each other and are tightly compacted in the pieces of dusting. Fastening is carried out using metal fittings. All in the aggregate provides high tightness, does not allow undesirable dust and rain.
It may seem that the design is very fragile, but the frameless glazing is considered high strength.
During production, special technologies are used, with which the material strengthens. As a result, the glass coating is almost impossible to break. With full glazing and the absence of the frames, it is not difficult to install doors and windows that must be opening inward or outward. Coupling doors in this case are applied less often.
Despite the popularity of the frameless option to arrange the veranda, he has some cons. If the house is near the roads and the active life of the city, then relax on a fully glazed veranda will be difficult, because the option without frames has low noise insulation. And it is worth noting that we can wash the strengthened windows only by gentle cleaning means. Otherwise, you can spoil the film that protects against the disintegration of the glass.
Sometimes the veranda is embedded directly inside her house. Then it turns out that the platform is fenced with carrier walls, a shape of the room and the like. It is also possible that the veranda is planned to glate on the second floor. The volume of work in comparison with the one-storey house is significantly different. Then weighing all the restrictions that the foundation dictates, choose incomplete glazing with frames.
There is no problem in the fact that the choice is a bit limited. There are many excellent options for incomplete frame glazing. But it will be best to consult with a designer and a specialist in installing glass walls.
They will help to choose the ideal option that will be suitable for your home.
A significant role in the creation of high-quality and convenient glazing is occupied by windows. The way they will open depends on the type of glazing selected. For example, the glazed walls with frames are suitable windows with a rotary folding system. To date, this mechanism is in great demand. This is due to the convenience that is ensured due to the possibility of opening the flaps in any direction and throw it into its upper part.
Such a system is difficult to install on frameless glass surfaces. Yes, and in terms of style, the design will not look aesthetic. The handles of the turning folding mechanism will call the eyes, as well as the coupe do not combine with a frameless option. However, the glazing experience is large enough so that you can beat all visual shortcomings.
Materials manufacturing
The glazing of the veranda and terraced arbors is quite popular today. It would seem glass - this is the only material that is used in the production of glazing designs. But the design includes many additional details, the quality of which depends the durability of the entire glass wall. In addition, manufacturers offer a list of materials that can replace the glass. Moreover, they even exceed the glass according to some indicators.
Quite often, aluminum is used as raw materials for fastening profiles. The advantages of this metal is that it is not subject to corrosion, rather soft and has a small mass. Also speaking about the advantages for the consumer, aluminum products are durable and implemented for a very low price. Aluminum is very simple to appeal, which allows you to create a profile of any curvature and put removable glasses.
Aluminum profiles are very practical and are often used for glazing sites near the cities. Since the platforms for recreation are usually small square, sliding systems are used for their glazing. Such systems perfectly work on aluminum profiles. It is worth emphasizing that the use of this metal is fireproof and very reliably due to a small mass of parts. Among the minuses should be noted that it is applied only for cold glazing.
Most country houses are elevated from an ordinary tree.
Without leaving the style, the owners of such houses are glad to be a verandas and terraces with the help of Ram. The frame glazing in a wooden house is the most familiar and almost no different from the window frames in the apartment room. That is why wooden frames give a greater preference, besides, glazed the veranda in this way can be independently.
Wooden frames will never surrender their positionsBecause the tree is natural and durable material with good thermal insulation properties. It is also easy to refer to processing, which is important for repair. The disadvantage of such frames is that it is necessary to process them with special substances against pests. It is also worth noting that the tree does not like moisture, so each time the window needs to be carefully drying.
Such disadvantages do not have wooden double-glazed windows. They are the most expensive glazing material. Under the operational indicators, double-glazed windows are not inferior to the tree, they even have great indicators of thermal insulation. And it does not interfere with natural ventilation indoors. In addition, many companies are engaged in the production of wooden glass windows. For this reason, there are a lot of interesting models, while in ordinary wooden frames it is difficult to make something new.
The most flexible appearance is plastic glazingThis is the most common and inexpensive option for today. In addition to the immense assortment of models and colors, plastic has very good performance characteristics. Such material is easily cleaned, it has good thermal insulation. However, there are also cons - you can not eliminate breakdowns in place, it is usually necessary to replace the item completely.
It also needs to be noted relatively short life and not low weight.
I would like to allocate another interesting material from which the so-called soft windows are created. They are PVC films that are usually sitting in plastic profiles. Glazing using a soft window is ideal when you need to have an open arbor, and closed. The PVC film is twisted into the roll at the top of the web and easily spreads to its original position, firmly fastened down. The attachment is quite sealed to install inside the heating radiator and use the rest area even in winter.
PVC film is a wear-resistant material, but in circulation still requires accuracy. It is easily cleaned by contaminants with a conventional soap solution. The only limitation of the use of soft windows is the production standard, according to which the width of the web does not exceed 140 cm. And this means that if you fail to meet in one web, you will need to fuse two. Such a fusion, naturally, will leave the visible seam, the width of which is about 30 mm.
But you should not immediately put a cross on PVC, there are many ways to cover and sweep the seams. Also, they can also be hidden using fasteners.
The film can be mounted in different ways, for example, using silicone brackets or belts.
If the film canvas is removable, it means that it is necessary to roll it from the parties, from where it will be twisted. The side in which the roll will be collected, attached with the help of chalks. Sometimes ordinary weightlifiers come to replace the fasteners if the climate of the terrain is unusual for strong winds.
PVC film requires special attentiveness. You need to be careful with sharp objects, they will be lightly touched by film. If the street is particularly cold, it is better not to turn the coating into a roll. There may be problems with turning and with the film coating itself, if there is less than 15 degrees of frost on the street. Unlike glass canvases, it is not necessary to climb on the film even at low weight.
And the most young option is the glazing with polycarbonate. It has high strength and completely unlimited profile form. The basis of a set of design ideas is precisely glazing with polycarbonate. This material misses the light well, namely such a holiday platform. In addition to the light-resistant parameter, the polymer plastic is fireproof, shockproof and is absolutely not sensitive to a strong wind.
Thanks to the flexible profiles of polymer plastic, it is possible to embody their most incredible ideas for glazing a veranda or terrace.
Plus to all, this material can be given a shade, which can also make a highlight to the arrangement of the house. Polycarbonate production is a complex process that subsequently restrain the ultraviolet rays. And naturally, the harder the production, the more expensive its implementation on the market.
Examples of design
To inspire and make your gazebo for rest, no worse pictures, you need to consider several beautiful glazing options.
Option of modern country house. The veranda is attached to the wall of the house and performs the functions of a full-fledged room for recreation. The playground is equipped with a warm incomplete panoramic glazing with the presence of frames. In this case, the frame do not seem to be banal, but on the contrary, on the background of nature look unusual. Despite the rigor of the style, the veranda is not devoid of natural lighting.
For this option, jewel doors were chosen, which is ideal for the modern style of the veranda itself. It is worth noting that when designing its own veranda, a visual sensation is important. The room should not strain, so you need to pay due attention to the selection of colors.
Undoubtedly, worthy of attention is the option of summer veranda.
It is attached to the house and glazale completely. Perhaps it is even too bright lounge. Such a veranda will be a find for family gatherings, joy for kids. Also here you can get indelible impressions from spent an open-air evenings.
The roof and windows of this summer veranda are made of polycarbonate material. The interior of the room carries a positive, relaxed attitude. You can say with confidence that this is another room of a country house. Glazing is performed using frames in the panoramic version. Thus, a full-fledged garden review is ensured.
Another veranda variant attached to the country. The framework of the room is completely assembled with a tree, like a country house itself. Thanks to this interior design, the veranda turns into a magic light corner of comfort. Again the glazing is seated in the frame. With the right vision of the designer, the frame will never seem unnecessary.
Considering the possible options, it is impossible to do without polycarbonate glazing, as it carries a novelty and modern style. In this embodiment, a complete glazing with curved glass beverage profiles is presented. Perhaps the space inside the veranda is too limited, but it can expand if the sliding windows use.
So the veranda combines in itself and a gazebo in the fresh air and a modest hermetic room for recreation.
This room will always be light, but not hot. If it suddenly rains or snow, inside the polycarbonate coating, nothing threatens you. Thanks to the curved windows, moisture and dirt will not be copied on the surfaces, they will simply roll to the ground.
Transformer veranda, which from the closed quickly become open and vice versa, slowly, but surely conquer our harsh latitude due to their versatility.
Systems and materials that are used for mounting veranda transformers only look fragile and weightless: good producers, they are reliable, withstand the strong gusts of the wind, and in most cases it uses a stroke glass.
Participant forumhouse Paul againmade a veranda with removable glazing in an old house, where the terrace looked like a terrace in old residential buildings.
Paul again participant forumhouse
By half the floor, the floor is clipped with a board, above - frames with a variety of triangular, rectangular glass.
During the repair, Paul found such a solution: to make removable plexiglass sheets. The following technology was used: the threaded studs screwed into the wall were inspired by the sheets of a transparent plexiglass from the floor to the roof (thickness 5 mm, the height from the floor to the roof is 2.5 meters). For the summer "Walls" is removed, it turns out an outdoor terrace, and in the winter and autumn - the solar veranda.
Here is an interesting version of the transformer veranda: a panoramic window of a country house can be closed with a huge shutter (for example, when the owners are leaving for a long time). The shutter can rise up, and the visor is obtained, and the window sash windows open and become glass walls that protect against wind.
The original design will enjoy people who value mobility and multifunctionality. A huge shutter, which closes the panoramic window, leans down, forming a platform for recreation. When there are no owners, the folding shutters protect the windows from the vandals.
However, in most cases, sliding systems are used for the device of veranda transformers. Glasses are not removed, but moved or shifted in one direction. In the summer you can open the wall and let all the sounds and smells of the evening garden in the house, and in the winter - with comfort to drink tea after the bath and look at the snowfall.
All three walls of the veranda or one, or even the roof of the terrace can come together. Sliding systems can occupy all the space from the ceiling to the floor, and then the entire wall will be transparent (especially if it comes to frameless systems), and can be installed as windows. Quite often make combined glazing - some flaps are mounted static, and some are moving away. In general, due to the appearance of veranda transformers, country houses began to look like not as before, and the level of their comfort rose noticeably.
Bobsol Member Forumhouse
I want to make a veranda transformer, open for the summer (frames under the sink roof, fence down). And in the fall, everything is closed.
Types of sliding systems
The main criterion in which the veranda transformers are classified - warm or cold glazing is used in their construction. As a rule, if a country house provides constant winter accommodation, and the veranda and houses have a common foundation, make her hermetic warm glazing. Warm glazing systems can also be transformed, the flaps can be moved, the walls are to open, making the veranda open. The main difference is that a solid glass is used for cold glazing, for warm - double-glazed windows in aluminum profiles.
Lifting-sliding
One of the most popular sliding glazing systems of the veranda is a lifting-sliding, which is arranged like a wardrobe. In this case, one wide frame is shifted over the other, the wall may consist of only two frames. The frame rises quite a bit, the clamping clamp is at the bottom weakened, and the sash "rides" on the guide. When the sash returns to the place, the clamping mechanism works. And thanks to seals, the wall again becomes completely hermetic.
This design is popular with Forumhouse users due to their reliability. It is used not only when a veranda device, but also for sliding partitions inside the house.
Make such a veranda "winter" can be a well-thought-out heating system. So, the participant of our portal chicken-A. Exploited its veranda, glazed by single-chamber glass windows, all year round, because it is heated. Plinths chicken-A. Made himself, but they have the same parameters as industrial. The peculiarity of these devices is that they are heated by the walls of the veranda to one and a half meter. Plus, the veranda comes to the south and heats up the sun. The veranda is not used every day, so it is heated only as necessary, in half an hour before the gatherings - thus, the cost of electricity is insignificant.
chicken-A Member Forumhouse
Heat the wall connecting the veranda with the rest of the residential building of the house, put the electrical option of warm plinths there and be able to quickly and effectively turn it in winter to a suitable room for a pleasant time.
Harmonic
A sliding folding design, better known among country house owners as a harmonica, can fully open the wall of the veranda. The sash "move" to the end of the wall and are installed there, occupying quite a bit of space. You can not disclose the whole wall, and move it on one or two sash. Most often, the profile in such a design is made of aluminum, because it is lightweight and strong enough.
Unfortunately, the harmonica is a design that is suitable, rather, for cold glazing. It is necessary to talk about high-quality thermal insulation of such a design with caution, it is not for nothing in the cold regions it is extremely rare. The unconditional advantage of the harmonica is in the diversity of portal accessories: it is made from aluminum, and from PVC, and from a tree.
The entire power load of this design takes the upper beam, according to which carriages with panels suspended on them. There is no threshold in such structures, and this is another advantage.
Member of our portal Funny Child. It intends to do on the veranda, agencies attached to the house, a spa pavilion with insulated sliding doors in full width of the opening. Among the different options offered by the colleagues with the Forumhouse, there was "Harmoshka". The advantages of this type of glazing the veranda is that the doors can be made wooden, which will perfectly fit into the common.
FUNNY CHILD FORTERHOUSE Member
If necessary, the lower seal of the harmonica needs high threshold. It is not always convenient.
Frameless glazing
Funny Child.
Frameless glazing is ideal for the veranda, but, alas, it is cold.
