It is not easy for a Russian person who is characterized by conservatism and incredulity to imagine the type of glazed balcony of a suburban townhouse without frames. A similar design was invented by the Finns. Its peculiarity, distinguishing it from other types of glazing, lies in the complete absence of partitions and frames. The glazed balcony has a light, air and transparent appearance, and this does not have a negative effect on the appearance of the facade of a residential building, but, on the contrary, contributes to its successful addition.
According to experts, glazing according to the Finnish method helps to protect the balcony from precipitation, muffling street noise and ensuring heat in the room.
A non -ramous structure with visible lightness and airiness, in fact, is quite strong. The composition of this design includes aluminum profiles – the upper and lower, which are guides for glass wings, as well as tempered glass that meets the requirements of international standards DIN 1249 and SFS 2728.
Tempered glass should have increased strength, as well as the ability to withstand high loads. Really durable glass cannot even break the stone blow. The thickness of the glass is determined by the height of the glazed area: if the height of the glazed space is more than 2 m10 cm, it is necessary to take the glass thickness8 mm. With a height below this mark – the glass thickness will be6 mm. You can order not only transparent glasses, but also tinted. The production of all components for non -bramberry glazing is carried out in Finland, they are brought to our country by order.
In addition to all of the above, the Finnish design is characterized by unusual opening and closing the wings. First, the extreme sash opens with the help of the upper castle, reminiscent of the rope of the “floor” switch. To open the sash, you need to pull the rope, after which a transparent sash will appear from the upper and lower frame. It should be noted here that young children will not be able to get to the upper castle, so you can not worry that the child will open the window until there is no one at home.
After the wings are open, you need to use the lower lock installed at the bottom of the wings. It is necessary to hold the sash in a closed or in open position. The ajar sash is fixed using a special ventilation latch. In order to prevent the swing of the open casches, they are fastened by means of a special fixer tape.
