Popularity of a glass cover of balconies and loggias is a consequence of that fact that in all big cities today such kind of repair work is provided in most projects of buildings. The volume of a glass cover of balconies and loggias is engaged approximately 35 — 40 % of full surfaces of all windows. Let's consider two most popular ways of a glass cover of balconies and loggias.
Way №1. A standard glass cover: on a balcony frames (plastic, wooden, metal) with the glasses placed in them (dark glazing or usual which are habitual to our eyes) are established. This type of a glass cover of balconies and loggias slightly suppresses the noise reaching from street, and raises premise temperature approximately on 2-3 degrees. Finally, instead of a habitual balcony there will be a glazed place — a verandah.
Way №2. The euroglass balcony cover – in comparison with the first method it’s more reliably and more qualitatively done work, but also much more expensive. Euroglass cover means:
— Process of installation of a window profile of foreign manufacture, a choice and installation of glasses or a double-glazed window;
— Hermetic sealing of space by specially intended foam or other hermetic (by filling of backlashes between walls and frames). Correctly made hermetic sealing not only disallow a moisture to get in a balcony volume through backlashes, but also will considerably raise it thermal insulation properties;
— Drawing on a profile of aluminum powder paint. Besides the basic function, it will save a construction from atmosphere adverse effects, and will decorate it at the same time;
— An internal balcony covering (it is made, as a rule, under the individual order). Different materials are used. Plastic panels, for example.
As a result the balcony will look attractive and becomes very convenient. But, unfortunately, after installing euroglass cover you can't please yourself with possibility to keep heat. So if it’s necessary to build a room on a balcony you should insulate it.
