As a rule, at home with gable roof They are not distinguished by architectural delights, they are functional, inexpensive to build and designed for a wide audience. The "Open" project is completely different from typical projects in the segment. Modern, bright, with large windows and glass balcony railings, project area of ​​311 sq.m. and designed for 5 bedrooms will be an excellent choice for a large family.

All projects of houses with panoramic glazing can be viewed.

Typical projects are popular because they deserve attention for their budget price. However, increasingly, owners land plots, who are not constrained by funds, want to get a country house with a claim to sophistication 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 in construction and operation. Therefore, before starting construction, you should carefully study the literature on this subject, 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 - floor to ceiling - windows are used on the facades of the attic, the first floor, the living room, in the bay window, in buildings with double light.
  1. The styles of the object can be different: from minimalism to modern and retro. What is remarkable about the glazing of a large part of the house:
  2. It's extraordinarily beautiful. The owners thus let a significant part of nature into the room, even if it is located outside the windows. Such buildings need to be erected in an area at least different from the urban landscape.
  3. The house, as a rule, is located in a secluded place, otherwise a significant part of the surroundings will be lost, and it will not be possible to achieve peace and quiet.
From design features. The great advantage of the object is that it is lightweight: glass weighs less than a log or beam.

However, no matter how beautiful a wooden object with panoramic glazing may be, the disadvantages in its construction and operation are much greater 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 costs and further attractiveness for investors: houses made of timber with panoramic windows are much more difficult to sell than a log house with inserted metal-plastic double-glazed windows. Owners should evaluate in advance own strength

and opportunities, and then decide to purchase such housing.

Combined construction If you still want to own a house with panoramic view outweighs reasonable arguments, then it is worth approaching custom design

In any case, the construction of such a structure is a complex matter. It requires maximum accurate calculations, relating to all areas - from the foundation to the insertion of double-glazed windows.

Legal framework and decorative part of construction

Very often, owners are eager to have French windows because of their beauty, but they do not imply that construction must be carried out according to all the rules and conditions. If any 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 window systems, but also to combine them with the legal field. For example: When all the bureaucratic steps are completed and the house meets the construction conditions, you should think about options for panoramic windows that will not damage finances and design features buildings:
  1. Traditional block. Occupies up to 50% of the wall area. It has a variety of shapes - trapezoid, triangle, semicircle, ellipse.
    Rounded shapes are inappropriate if the object does not contain at least other similar elements. It is better to leave your choice on “angular” options or a traditional rectangular shape.
  2. Glazed projections - balconies, bay windows, verandas, etc. They are the easiest to work with and, with some skill, can be done with your own hands. It is important to take into account soil conditions when choosing a foundation and carefully calculate roofing system, since she will have highest pressure for a set of double-glazed windows.
To reduce problems when operating a home from laminated veneer lumber with panoramic windows, it is important to choose the right double-glazed windows. In no case should they be with single glazing; 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 cottage with panoramic glazing. To make a decision, it is worth taking advice from specialists from the design bureau and clarifying any details of the issue.

Panoramic glazing is a type of translucent structure that is made with a minimum number of bindings. In this case, the window can occupy most of the wall or the entire wall. This type of glazing is most often used in multi-storey buildings public use, but sometimes this option of using translucent structures is used in modern private houses. For example, frame house with panoramic windows can be very comfortable and effective due to large quantities natural light. The space in such a house visually expands, and a beautiful view opens from the windows. Thanks to panoramic glazing, the building takes on a modern and impressive look.

Peculiarities

Panoramic glazing is special kind façade design, in which a window that occupies most of the wall or the entire wall simultaneously performs the functions of enclosing structures. In this case, such glazing can be:

  • with aluminum profiles;
  • with a metal-plastic frame;
  • with frameless glazing.

When deciding to buy or build a frame house with large windows, you should know that house designs with panoramic glazing have some nuances:

  1. Due to the small thickness of the glass and the special thermal properties of the material, glass enclosing structures have high thermal conductivity. That is why, when considering and choosing house designs with such glazing, it is important to take into account the location of the windows in relation to the cardinal points. To keep it cool in a house with this glazing, the windows should face the south or southwest side. Besides comfortable temperature windows will provide optimal insolation of the room, that is, the amount sunlight will be sufficient.
  2. It doesn’t matter what material the house is built from, foam block, brick, or this frame structure, in any case, the layout of the building must be taken into account. So that inside a room with panoramic windows you do not have an association with a store window, it is very important to choose the correct dimensions of the glazing and its location on the wall.
  3. When building a foam block or frame house with large panoramic windows, special attention should be paid to the quality of the materials from which the window is made. The fittings are no less important, because they must withstand the weight of a massive, heavy glass structure. Also, the comfort of living in the house, its sound and thermal insulation characteristics.
  4. Don't make too many panoramic windows. Such glazing is appropriate in a living room, winter garden, dining room or hall. When designing such a house, it is worth considering in advance a system of curtains and blinds, which in the evening will give you the desired privacy and hide you from prying eyes. If you install panoramic glazing on your veranda or terrace, you can additionally equip it winter Garden.
  5. The misconception of many people is that they believe that panoramic windows can only be installed in large rooms. Actually this is not true. Such glazing can be harmoniously integrated even into the interior small room. The main thing is that window structures are selected in proportion to the area of ​​the room. These windows will make even a small room seem larger.

Climatic features and large windows

By beautiful photo houses with panoramic structures windows, it’s difficult to say whether they are suitable for you, because each project is designed for a specific climate zone. Thus, a house designed for a southern climate will not be suitable for a middle or northern climate zone.

Important: only thanks to competent thermal engineering calculations you can precisely select the design, size and orientation of such windows so that it is comfortable to be in the house at any time of the year.

Also, do not think that such designs are completely inappropriate in cold regions. Thanks to special events, it is possible to achieve that in a room with large area glazing will be warm and comfortable even in the most severe winter. No less important for correct selection windows, depending on the climate, take into account the materials from which the glazing is made.

Modern technologies make it possible to produce heated double-glazed windows, which effectively retain heat in the room. For regions with hot climates, you can use double-glazed windows with a special coating that transmits light but does not allow sun rays heat the room.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the advantages of panoramic light-transmitting structures are the following:

  1. Strength and durability. The structures are resistant to any negative impacts environment.
  2. In such windows you can use both single-chamber and multi-chamber double-glazed windows.
  3. Depending on the purpose of the room, you can use cold or warm profile structures for windows.
  4. It is possible to install large-sized double-glazed windows without additional reinforcement.
  5. It is easy to make curved and domed elements of a house from light-transmitting enclosing structures.
  6. Any options for opening windows (hinged, sliding) or solid glazing are allowed.
  7. Thanks to the special protective film coating Double-glazed windows are completely safe to use.
  8. Modern double-glazed windows provide a high degree of sound insulation of the room.
  9. Window profiles can be given any color, covered with wood, marble or natural stone. Thereby design possibilities are expanding significantly.

Despite this, such designs have several disadvantages:

  1. Due to the large glass area, the thermal insulation characteristics of the house are slightly reduced.
  2. The price of panoramic light-transmitting structures is slightly higher than that of regular window. This is due to the characteristics of the material used, difficulties during installation and significant labor costs.
  3. To avoid condensation, such windows require additional heating of the glass unit structure, and this entails additional energy costs.

Window selection

Since panoramic light-transmitting structures simultaneously perform the functions of enclosing elements, they must have the following qualities:

  • sufficient heat and sound insulation;
  • be air- and moisture-tight;
  • windows must be resistant to shock and mechanical stress;
  • be sufficiently safe and durable.

Important: to ensure the required level of sound insulation, it is worth using multi-chamber profiles filled with sound-absorbing material.

Since the safety of panoramic windows is much lower than that of walls made of stone, wood or other durable materials, special double-glazed windows are used for their manufacture:

  • reinforced;
  • laminated;
  • hardened;
  • multi-chamber;
  • reinforced with special metallized films (they prevent the scattering of fragments and protect windows from breaking).

Concerning fire safety houses with such glazing, then in the event of sudden destruction of the window structure during a fire, the draft increases many times, which contributes to the rapid spread of fire. That is why in such structures, even at the design stage, it is necessary to provide additional escape routes, and to use the least flammable materials for enclosing structures.

As for the design of such windows, in modern private houses you can use the following varieties panoramic designs:

  • classic windows;
  • bay window elements;
  • corner window structures;
  • garden windows;
  • false windows.

Methods for reducing heat loss

The main problem of a house with panoramic glazing is the issue of heat conservation. A lot here depends on the construction budget: if you can’t afford warm windows, then in the future you will have to spend more on heating such a house. And vice versa, having once spent a large amount on high-quality warm window structures, in the future you will be able to save on heating the building.

It is worth understanding that you can choose one of two glazing methods:

  1. Cold profiles are more suitable for unheated rooms (gazebos, verandas, summer houses). This design is characterized by low thermal insulation qualities and is more often used in frameless glazing or combined with single glazing and aluminum profiles.
  2. Warm profiles are made of wood or plastic. They perfectly retain heat in the room, and in combination with three-chamber double-glazed windows they guarantee high thermal insulation characteristics of the house. Their only drawback is their high price.

However, many technologies have now emerged that make it possible to achieve high thermal insulation of light-transmitting structures without increasing the thickness of the glass unit:

  • energy-saving double-glazed window with inert gas pumped between the panes;
  • profile with a special sectional thermal break;
  • profile with chambers filled with heat-insulating material;
  • k-glass is special product with spraying of oxides of various metals.

Worth knowing: single-chamber double-glazed window filled with inert gas and sprayed, the thermal conductivity is equal to brick wall 60 cm thick.

In any case, in a house with panoramic light-transmitting structures it is worth providing additional heating, for example, a floor-mounted slot electric convector. This way you can protect the room from the cold, and the glass from the formation of condensation.

Glass conducts heat well, so important role In maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the building, the direction of the world to which the wall faces will play a role. large glazing. It is better if it is south or southwest, so more warmth and light will enter the premises. Projects of houses with large windows have their own specific organization internal space. It is unlikely that you will be comfortable if your every step is visible from the street. For example, it is obvious that there is no need for panoramic window openings in the bedroom, but it will look very impressive in the dining room or living room, on the terrace or in the winter garden.

Window structures are of significant size and have a corresponding weight, so special attention should be paid to the strength of fasteners and mechanisms and, in particular, to the company that will deal with glazing. Many people mistakenly believe that house designs with large windows always involve the construction of cottages with an impressive area. However, this is not true. Panoramic glazing is available even for very compact cottages.

What is better - to buy project documentation or order a project for yourself?

Most large companies will offer you dozens of excellent options, which include ready-made house designs with large windows. They are distinguished by courage and relevance design solutions and adaptability to our climate. If such a building is designed by competent specialists and built by professionals, even in winter you will not feel a lack of comfort. Obviously, in this case it is very great importance has a choice of design and construction company.

Individual designs of houses with large windows are good because they will be made with your direct participation, just for you and taking into account all your wishes. But this kind of work should only be done by a professional. upper class. Especially if we are talking about a building with such unusual design. It is best to get acquainted with other works of the company you choose, and do it live. After all, you are building a home that will last for decades and should get maximum coziness and comfort.

A huge number of developers want to build new house, the rooms in which will be flooded with the light of the sun, and from the windows of which you can look at the beautiful view of the garden in the courtyard or night city. These desires are feasible if private houses have large areas of glazing. Among modern developers one-story houses with panoramic glazing are quite popular because they are characterized by rooms with high level comfort and indescribable charm.

Project plans for one-story houses with large windows: nuances

When deciding to buy standard or order custom designs of cottages with panoramic glazing, it is important to consider the following features:

  • Since glass is characterized by high thermal conductivity due to the thermal properties of the material and its small thickness, when choosing projects with large panoramic windows, it is important to take into account such a factor as the location of the panoramic glazing in relation to the cardinal points. For creating better conditions comfort panoramic windows are recommended to be installed from the south-west or south side. Due to this arrangement of windows, the entry of sunlight into the premises will be increased.
  • Layout one-story houses with large windows should also be taken into account during design and construction. It is extremely important to choose the right width, height of panoramic windows and their location in the room so that there is no feeling of a storefront.
  • Particular attention must be paid when implementing architectural projects houses with large windows and the quality of materials used to install panoramic glazing. Special attention window fittings required. Fittings of poor quality and at a low price may not withstand the weight of large windows and lead to the destruction of the entire structure.
  • Large windows will look original in the living room, bedroom, winter garden, hall or dining room. But it is important to foresee the installation of curtains or blinds in advance. Often enough cottage with large windows allows you to add additional panoramic glazing to the terrace or veranda and organize a winter garden there. Many developers mistakenly believe that panoramic windows are only suitable for large premises. In fact, large windows can harmoniously fit into absolutely any interior, the main thing is that the size of the windows is proportional to the area of ​​the premises. In such cases, even small rooms will visually seem more spacious.

Plans for one-story houses with large windows: taking into account the climate zone

It is important to understand that residential building projects with panoramic glazing, developed for one climatic zone, are not suitable for turnkey implementation in another climatic region. Only a competent thermal engineering calculation of the premises when installing panoramic glazing allows one to determine measures the implementation of which will ensure comfortable indoor conditions even in the coldest winter.

It is also important to pay attention to the material of manufacture. window designs. IN this section catalog we have collected projects of one-story houses with large windows (photos, videos, sketches, diagrams and drawings are available for viewing on the website). Such house designs break the stereotypes that large windows are only suitable for multi-story buildings.

When from the options offered in the collection finished projects If you were unable to select a project that meets the developer’s requirements, you can use the service for an additional cost
