The features of glazing a six-meter loggia are studied at the design stage, since it is necessary to take into account the type of frame material, type of double-glazed window, heating method (if the system is provided), design and intended purpose of the enclosed space. Sometimes the option of combining it with a living room is considered. As a result, the loggia becomes a heated room. This is beautiful, but at the same time it is associated with many inconveniences and difficulties, since it is important to properly document such changes.

Features of glazing loggias 6 sq. meters
| The loggia does not have an external slab, so the weight of the structure is not so important here. If it is planned to be connected to an adjacent room, additional approval for the work will be required. At the same time, demolition of the dividing wall is not possible in all cases - it can be adapted for a bar counter or shelving. With warm glazing, it is advisable to install heated floors or electric heating, since moving the heating system outside the apartment is prohibited by building codes. It often happens that the floor of the loggia is higher than the next room or there is a threshold, which in most cases is prohibited from being dismantled. In this case, you can arrange a podium, which will become an interesting design solution. |
Warm or cold?
The choice depends on:
| cold. Aluminum profiles will protect the balcony from wind and bad weather. This turns out to be a room for seasonal use - in winter the temperature there will be comparable to the street temperature. The best solution in this case is to organize a convenient storage area. Cabinets and shelves for things, a vine for drying clothes. Everything is in its place, in perfect order, | |
| warm. This is the glazing of PVC profiles with 3-5 chambers. It costs more, but makes the balcony comfortable. The design is airtight and prevents drafts. If there is a road outside the window, install a soundproof double-glazed window. If you want to increase the area of the room, combine it with a loggia. Additional insulation and energy-saving double-glazed windows will prevent heat from leaking out. The apartment will always have a comfortable temperature. | |
| French. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows are perhaps the most unusual view. The design allows maximum light to pass through. Although it looks weightless, it can withstand strong wind loads. Glass can be installed at full height or combined with blind sandwich panels. |
If you want to use space efficiently, you should choose sliding doors. They save space, narrow frames let in a lot of sun. The mechanisms are characterized by smooth operation and reliability.
Classic swing and tilt-and-turn sashes are mounted in warm PVC profiles. Their feature is convenient ventilation mechanisms and anti-burglary fittings. You can combine swing sections with blind ones.
How to glaze a 6 meter loggia?
Warm glazing
Plastic profiles are the most popular material, since structures based on them provide tightness, excellent heat and sound insulation, are easy to maintain and easy to use. The cost can vary from the most affordable to very high. The most popular products are from the German brands Rehau and KBE; a budget option is represented by domestic Novotex profiles.
Wooden windows are made primarily from the most affordable pine wood, as well as more expensive larch and oak. It is distinguished by high levels of sound and heat insulation, naturalness, the possibility of natural ventilation, durability, but requires special care.
Warm aluminum, due to its strength, allows you to make large windows. It is resistant to external atmospheric influences, easy to maintain, however, due to thermal inserts that prevent heat loss, the cost is quite high.
The qualities of the profiles are complemented by functional double-glazed windows:
| Energy-saving double-glazed window | Multifunctional double glazing | Noise-proof glass unit | Armored glass unit |
| Capable of reflecting heat waves back into the room thanks to a low-emission coating, they are used to significantly reduce heat loss, for example, in panel houses. | They have a special silver-containing coating, thanks to which they reflect heat inside the room in cold weather, and outside in hot weather. An excellent choice for the sunny side of the house, helping to save on air conditioning. | They have a special design that promotes significant noise absorption and are suitable for organizing comfortable living in houses located near sources of constant noise. | Able to withstand accidental and intentional impacts, a worthy alternative to gratings for the first and last floors of high-rise buildings. |
Cold glazing
Sliding plastic Slidors make it possible to use the room as a full-fledged room in the summer, and with the arrival of cold weather it can serve as a utility room or a habitat for a pet. The sliding method of opening the doors saves usable space.
Cold aluminum Provedal also has sliding doors, but is characterized by high thermal conductivity and low sound insulation, so with the onset of cold weather the room temperature will be only a few degrees higher than the outside one. The strength of aluminum allows you to create large floor-to-ceiling windows, and thin partitions allow more light to pass through. Able to protect from wind, dust, rain and cigarette butts thrown by neighbors from above.
Frameless glazing provides excellent panoramic views. It will protect from dust and precipitation, but will not provide warmth in the cold season. The doors can be moved completely towards the wall, opening up the space.

Popular questions about sliding glazing
I want to combine a loggia and a room. Which profile should I choose?
We recommend models with large installation depth - Rehau Grazio, Deligt, Brilliant - 70mm or Intelio - 80 mm, Geneo - 86 mm.
What is the service life of windows?
Rehau windows are designed for 50 years of operation. We provide a guarantee on frames, double-glazed windows, fasteners and installation.
Why can't I measure the windows myself?
Sure you can! But in case of an error, the structure simply will not fit into the opening. It is better to entrust this to an experienced measurer. This is a free service for us.
Is it possible to glaze a loggia in winter?
If we are talking only about installing a window, then yes. But the strengthening of the concrete slab is carried out in the warm season. Managers will provide detailed advice over the phone.
Features of the parapet
There are 3 types of parapets:
- made of metal (the most unreliable, requiring strengthening before glazing);
- brick;
- concrete, reliable, if new, but they often do not cover the entire front side of the balcony.
Please note that unreinforced metal parapets will sway strongly in the wind, but it is not recommended to reinforce them with wood.
Typically, bars made of pine and other soft, susceptible to moisture and rotting species, which quickly deteriorate and the frames sag, are used for this. Support flimsy fencing with a horizontal channel or square pipe, or cut it off completely and use brick/foam block.
The metal structure will definitely have to be strengthened, but high-quality brickwork is an ideal basis for warm PVC windows. Concrete will also work, but if the fence is old, it will need to be examined for cracks and weak spots, sealing them with cement mortar or putty. In some buildings, the concrete slab does not reach the walls by 20–30 cm. Under warm glazing, the gaps are eliminated. They can be laid with brick or foam block, then waterproofed.
Joining, joining with a room
To change the layout of the apartment, it is necessary to dismantle the balcony block with the door.
However, in the process of connecting the loggia and living space, it is important to remember that disassembling the partition on which the window was previously located is prohibited. The radiator fixed to this structure cannot be moved either.
In some apartment buildings, it is necessary to immediately replace the battery in order to increase the efficiency of the heating system.
Additionally, the following measures are taken to create a comfortable microclimate in the kitchen with a loggia:
- a heated floor is installed, if in other cases this is only a recommendation, then when removing the balcony block an additional heat source is required, and such a heating system is the most preferable;
- when glazing a loggia, a profile with thick glass is used, and single-chamber structures cannot be installed; 3-chamber double-glazed windows are suitable for this purpose;
- they use insulation with the best characteristics, since it is important to significantly reduce heat loss in the new room;
- It is permissible to turn on the heater if necessary.
If you are wondering how much it costs to glaze a loggia with plastic or wood when you plan to combine rooms, then you should prepare for large sums. When using standard materials, the cost of glazing and combining rooms can be 78,000 rubles.
How to choose the right glazing for a 6-meter balcony?
The design of a balcony depends on 3 main factors:
- your budget;
- choice in favor of cold or warm glazing;
- style solution for these square meters: the design of such a long balcony (6 square meters) will require a non-standard approach, but the result can be a full-fledged living space.
Please note: the cost of warm windows (PVC or wooden double-glazed windows) is much higher compared to aluminum windows, plus glazing a 6-meter balcony itself is not cheap and not easy due to its length and nuances, which will be described below.
Important conditions for proper glazing:
- We take into account differences in the level of the parapet. A six-meter balcony is a rather long structure, so the level of the parapet may not be the same. The error can be up to 7cm. This fact must be taken into account when taking measurements, because the frames will rest on the parapet. Otherwise, the glazing will turn out crooked, or the frames will be completely impossible to insert into the window opening.
- We pay attention to the material from which the parapet is made, as well as the degree of wear of the slab.
People often look for how much it costs to glaze a 6-meter balcony with plastic, without even first finding out whether the parapet will withstand such a load (read more about the types of parapets below).
The technical condition of the balcony slab may also not correspond to your plans, therefore, for safety reasons, it is advisable to coordinate any project with an architectural engineer.
So the type of glazing and the overall design of a 6 sq. m balcony must be chosen not only based on attractive photographs, but also on the purely technical characteristics and nuances of different balcony designs, which can also be seen in photos on the Internet.
