You have a house or you just started its construction? With a high degree of probability, we can say that the space under the roof should become a cozy attic. The attic windows in architecture have been used for a long time, and their installation occurs in the design of the roof slope.
More recently, the attic blocks were extremely rare and their function was performed by ordinary windows. For them, special auditory niches were built, which required additional costs of materials and human labor. Now the emergence of a factory attachment unit has removed these issues, including waterproofing and thermal insulation of the window opening.
To suffer lighting, the setting of the attic -type windows provides for the following calculation – the glazing area should be 10% of the area of the room. If it is a studio or living room, then the area is desirable to increase to 20%. It should be taken into account the fact that a person should see not only the sky, but also the earth, so the upper side of the window should not be higher than two meters from the floor level. As for the lower side, it must be placed from the floor level at a height of more than one meter. In order for a person to easily open the frame, the handles are best place at the length of the outstretched arm. High windows should have special openings for opening: cords, rods, remote control.
The opening systems of attic blocks are represented quite widely:
– mechanism of opening with the central axis; – the mechanism of opening the upper edge; – mechanism of opening with a raised axis.
To give an attic window, a large number of accessories are produced.
Marqueset is a special grid for absorption of heat, which is located on the outside of the window opening. It allows you to reduce the amount of heat that falls on the glass by half. The material of the small mesh is practically not visible and does not prevent a person from looking through the glass.
The mosquito grid is attached indoors on the slopes and moves along the guide runners. If necessary, it is cleaned in a special cover.
For greater convenience, there are remote control windows, which includes rain and an electric motor, which controls the opening and closing mechanism.
Blinds help protect the room from the rays of the sun and are usually installed indoors. Lameli of the blinds are covered with a heat -cutting composition. If you need to maintain heat in the room, then the heat -cutting coating must be directed inside the room.
