Glazing of a terrace or veranda includes a whole range of works and is carried out according to an individual project, since there are no standard extensions.

More often, country houses are glazed using the cold type. It is cheaper, more practical and fully corresponds to the purpose of this room. But a warm terrace also has its advantages: with sufficient sealing, it can be turned into a full-fledged room for relaxation and tea drinking, where it will be comfortable to be even in winter.

Modern technologies make it possible to install not only standard casement windows, but also sliding panoramic windows on the veranda made of plastic or aluminum, as well as euro-windows made of various types of wood or a frameless system.

Each design has its own nuances, advantages and disadvantages, which we will consider in detail in this article. You will also learn how to properly glaze a terrace with plastic windows in order to monitor the actions of workers.

Partial or panoramic glazing?

After you decide on the choice of material (wood, PVC, metal) and the presence of insulation, you may want to install luxurious panoramic wooden or plastic windows for the veranda. (You can find out more about the types of panoramic glazing of verandas and terraces in this article.)

Floor-to-ceiling windows will cost more. But they provide maximum penetration of daylight and a spectacular look.

If the cottage is surrounded by a beautiful landscape, cast aside all doubts and order large, warm sliding windows for the veranda (portals). In bad weather, you can admire the rain or snow through them, and in the hot summer, the transoms will easily slide to the side, making the veranda open (maximum opening is ensured by the “accordion” system). At any time of the year, panoramic windows create a feeling of unity with nature and at the same time comfort and protection from bad weather. In addition, they visually increase the area of ​​the extension.

Full-wall sliding plastic windows are ideal for a veranda turned into a greenhouse or summer dining room. Modern panoramic windows made of PVC or wood are in no way inferior to standard designs in terms of sound insulation and heat conservation.

Panoramic wooden or plastic windows for the terrace can also consist of blind sashes. Then in winter you will still enjoy the scenery, but in summer you will have to sit on a closed veranda, ventilating the terrace only through swing doors: plastic or wooden.

Aluminum French windows can also be sliding, hinged, or consist of fixed or alternating fixed and movable sashes. Their main drawback will not disappear anywhere - with the onset of cold weather, a veranda glazed in this way will become uncomfortable. But there is a way out - order “warm” aluminum glazing for the terrace with energy-saving double-glazed windows and a special profile with a polyamide thermal bridge. Such profiles are produced by Newtec and AGS. The main advantage of warm aluminum is that it allows you to produce windows and doors for the veranda of any complexity and design, for example, large sliding frames and doors or portals that fold like an accordion.

Another option is panoramic glazing of the terrace with Finnish double-glazed windows made of tempered glass without frames. But it is considered cold.

To summarize: panoramic windows differ mainly in profile material and scope of application:

• plastic ones are suitable for arranging verandas and terraces used all year round;
• for the same purpose, they invented structures made of warm aluminum (profiles from NewTec or AGS), plus they allow glazing of any complexity and size;
• wooden ones are also intended for active use in cold weather and in combination with the most natural interior;
• cold aluminum is indispensable when you need to glaze a large area for little money, and the extension is not planned to be used in cold weather;
• lightweight sliding plastic windows for the veranda are designed to create a slightly more comfortable microclimate; they look light, airy, and prices are reduced due to single-glazed windows and inexpensive fittings;
• frameless windows are made of tempered glass, which can be shockproof to protect against thieves; such windows create the complete illusion of being among nature, but do not warm the extension (but protect from wind and rain);
• There is also façade glazing , which can also be used to design an extension; it is considered warm.

Despite the aesthetics of floor-to-ceiling windows, partial warm glazing of verandas is more common. To install panoramic windows, when building a veranda to the house, you need to take into account how panoramic windows made of plastic or other material will fit there, whereas an extension is built much easier if it is based on partial glazing with rectangular windows. When the veranda is old, it is definitely much more profitable to replace wooden frames with new, plastic, standard-sized windows. In addition, panoramic glazing is more attractive to burglars. Warm French windows have size restrictions (frame area up to 6 m², sash area with double-glazed windows up to 2 - 2.5 m²). But partial glazing has no such limits.

If the veranda is large, then ordinary windows will allow you to save significantly by reducing the glazing area. And so that standard plastic windows for the terrace do not look gray, choose a decor for them with a layout or stained glass.

An important point is heat preservation. Partial glazing copes with this task much better than panoramic glazing.

For a private house with a small courtyard and curious neighbors nearby, it is better to partially glaze the veranda and install plastic doors, as well as install blinds. In the evenings, you won't feel like you're at an exhibition when you step out onto your illuminated veranda.

Window block design options

The most common design of a window unit is hinged. It has been actively used for a long time and is not losing ground. But, taking into account the specifics of the room, other types of construction can be used.

Ask a Question

For example, fixed Euro windows for a veranda may be more attractive, since they do not require additional space for the movement of the sashes. But at the same time, the need to ventilate the room and create a more open space in the summer requires the use of more mobile systems.

Prices

The price for warm sliding windows for a terrace is approximately 2800 RUR/m² (the so-called semi-warm Sliders system with 1 glass 4 - 6 mm or a single glass unit 18 mm).

Warmer swing PVC windows will cost more - from 3600 - 4800 RUR/m² (up to 5500 and 7200 RUR/m² depending on the number of chambers and the thickness of the glass unit).

If you want to save money, order “light” PVC windows for gazebos and terraces. But it is not a fact that the room will be suitable for use in cold winters, since such structures have a thin profile, inexpensive double-glazed windows and are equipped with cheap fittings. Here are approximate prices for PVC windows for verandas and terraces (indicated not for square meters, but for entire windows of standard sizes):

• blind plastic window 1000x1000 – 3000 rub. (same, but opening – 5300);
• window 900x900 or 700x1300 with a hinged sash - 4800 rubles;
• window 800x1200 with 2 opening modes – 5300 rubles;
• double-leaf window 1200x1200 with one opening sash - about 6 thousand;
• double-leaf 1300x1300 (both doors are hinged, one with ventilation mode or with a window) - 9500 - 9600 rubles;
• three-leaf 2050×1450 with hinged doors, one with ventilation mode – 15300;
• plastic veranda bay windows 4700×1600 - about 16 - 23 thousand (up to 32 - 33 thousand if the doors open).

Approximate prices for panoramic plastic, wooden and aluminum windows for verandas/terraces (size – 2mx1m):

• PVC – 7,400 rub .;
• warm aluminum – 17,300 rubles ;
• wood – from 19,400 rubles (budget species).

It is profitable to order complex glazing, which includes all stages of window installation: from measurements to adjustment of fittings and finishing. But the price for hinged or sliding plastic windows for a terrace with turnkey installation will be significantly higher.

Plastic glazing

Plastic warm or semi-warm glazing of the veranda is the optimal solution in terms of price/quality ratio. Popular foreign brands include KBE, Rehau, and VEKA profiles. From the point of view of economy, the Russian manufacturer Novotex is attractive. Don’t skimp on fittings - give up cheap “no-name” brands in favor of proven Roto and Siegenia Aubi.

Metal-plastic windows protect the veranda from heat loss and noise from the street. You can choose from double-glazed windows, depending on what properties the veranda needs most:

• soundproofing,
• shockproof,
• energy saving,
• multifunctional.

Glazing of verandas and terraces with relatively inexpensive plastic windows is affordable, practical, durable and completely airtight. The downside is the lack of natural ventilation (the downside of high tightness). Therefore, when ordering windows and plastic doors for the terrace, think about the supply valves in advance.

The decisive argument in favor of choosing plastic structures is the mandatory certification, which they must undergo in accordance with Russian legislation.

Large clearance

The glazing area is usually large, which creates a temptation to install large Euro-windows on the veranda, immediately covering large areas of the opening. It should be noted that such a solution may turn out to be too complicated, since installing a long window with your own hands in the absence of experience or skills can cause errors. In addition, the wind load on a large double-glazed window can destroy it, and if frames with one glass are installed, then there is a danger of its destruction from the slightest distortion of the plane.

Wooden glazing

Are you interested in glazing your veranda with plastic windows? There is a rational grain in this decision. Warm wooden glazing of a veranda always looks richer and can last much longer than plastic, especially if you choose the right type of wood. For example, rot-resistant larch or durable oak.

Each type of wood has its own characteristics. Even the growing area matters. For example, many people buy pine windows to save money. But pine from the Moscow region is inferior to Siberian. You will get a warm terrace with windows made of pine, grown near Moscow. But, unfortunately, the structure will not be strong enough. But Siberian pine grows more slowly due to cold weather and is close in density to larch. Take these points into account when choosing material for your profile. Warm glazing of the terrace with wooden profiles is environmentally friendly, allows natural air circulation through micropores, and can be repaired in case of mechanical damage. In terms of equipment, wooden windows for a veranda at the dacha are no different from PVC: functional double-glazed windows and high-quality German or Austrian fittings are used during assembly.

There are also disadvantages: any tree must be impregnated with an antiseptic against insects and rot, and then covered with varnish or paint. It is also advisable to treat it with a fire retardant.

Let's summarize:

• on the veranda, wooden windows look luxurious and are definitely “more expensive” than plastic, while you still have the opportunity to choose from the same functional double-glazed windows as when purchasing PVC windows;
• heat and sound insulation;
• breathability: the glazing of a veranda with wooden frames does not “sweat” or become covered with ice due to temperature changes, since air circulation does not stop through the pores of the wood, which cannot be said about completely sealed PVC structures;
• high strength with low weight (except for windows made of heavy oak).

The last point is very important if you are going to install panoramic sliding frames and doors or accordion portal doors. (In this article we tell you which glazing to choose for a veranda or terrace.)

Step-by-step manufacturing instructions

To manufacture and install soft windows with your own hands, you need to complete the following technological map (using the example of installation using the “loop-belt” method):

1. 
   Before making a window, a flat and smooth horizontal surface is prepared.

2. A roll of PVC film is rolled out on a flat surface. If the work is carried out on site, all stones or other objects with sharp edges that could damage the material should be removed from the assembly area in advance.
3. The surface of the material is marked and marked with a marker. Each cutting line must be clearly outlined on a ruler, without distortion.
4. After marking, you should check the orthogonality of the corners, which may be distorted due to the soft material.
5. Parallel to the marking, the overlap line necessary to create the edging is marked and applied.
6. The film is carefully cut strictly along the marking lines, observing overlaps, using scissors or a construction knife.
7. An edging is folded along the perimeter of the product, which is pressed against the main plane of the film and covered with a cloth or sheet of paper.
8. The edging is fixed using an iron or a special device - a tinker.
9. Eyelets are punched along the entire perimeter of the two-layer structure, which should be installed using a construction stapler. The device, which can be purchased at a hardware store, comes with special reinforcing rings made of brass or other metal that is not susceptible to corrosion.
10. The eyelets must be placed in such a way that on each side of the future soft window the first hole is no further than 50 mm from the corner.
11. Along the entire perimeter of the opening, on the outside, staples are mounted, which can be purchased ready-made, or bent independently from metal plates after cutting them, using a rigid steel rod and a hammer.
12. First of all, the upper part of the window structure is fixed, after which the craftsman should wait from 1 to 3 days for the material to completely straighten under the influence of gravitational forces.
13. At the last stage, using grommets and a belt, the side and bottom parts of the window structure are attached.
14. If you are installing a window on a finished frame, you must first cut and assemble the framing structure on a horizontal plane, and then fix the material onto the clamping strips using furniture nails.

When stretching a PVC sheet, it is necessary to control the force, since too much tension can cause the formation of cracks in the entire structure, followed by its rupture due to temperature changes.

What affects the price of veranda glazing?

Factors influencing the cost of veranda glazing:

1. veranda area and glazing area (partial / panoramic);
2. type of glazing: warm (semi-warm) or cold;
3. window frame material;
4. doors;
5. glass used (double glazing);
6. fittings, the presence of complex opening/ventilation systems;
7. decor

Let's look at each point separately.

1. If we are talking about an old extension, and you just want to inexpensively replace the windows, then standard plastic structures are ideal for such a terrace, which you can choose from numerous photos of finished work. The same can be said about a large veranda: it is more profitable to order partial glazing made of metal-plastic than French or Finnish panoramic windows.
2. Cold glazing made of aluminum is the cheapest (from 2200 rubles per m² ). Semi-warm plastic according to the Sliders system costs from 2800 per m² . At first glance, the difference is not fundamental, but if the footage is large, your wallet will noticeably lose weight, because in addition to installing the windows themselves, you need ebbs, slopes, opening and ventilation systems, fittings, etc. And finally, warm glazing can be purchased at a price of 3,600 rubles. / m². For comparison: you will have to spend at least 166 - 200 thousand rubles on frameless cold glazing of a veranda or terrace. Note! If you choose insulated double-glazed windows, there will be another cost item associated with the need to insulate the extension, because the glass terrace adjacent to the house will be very cool in winter, nullifying the effect of warm windows.
3. In general, plastic terrace windows for summer cottages are cheaper than wooden windows and those made of warm aluminum. The most expensive wood is oak, meranti. Larch and ash are cheaper. And the most democratic option is pine.
4. When choosing glazing, it is important to calculate exactly how much it costs, because glazing a large veranda even with inexpensive plastic is not easy. In addition to profiles, double-glazed windows, and fittings, you will have to spend money on a lot of other things. A separate expense item is PVC swing or sliding doors for the veranda. To the cost of a veranda window, add plastic (wooden, aluminum) doors, the price of which will depend on both the material and the design (compare in the photo how sliding, swing and accordion doors will look). The cost will also be affected by the following factors: selected glazing, fittings, decor. Approximate prices for the most popular swing doors made of plastic: - balcony door 650x2200 with full glazing - about 9 thousand or more; - interior 950x2200 with half glazing (can be used to design the exit from the house to the terrace) - from 20 thousand or more; — entrance 1650x2200 double-leaf – from 51 thousand rubles. Plastic doors are advantageous in that any shape of the product can be ordered from PVC and this will not affect the cost too much.
5. The choice of double-glazed windows depends on living conditions, type of glazing, and the presence of heating in the room. If it is, then do not spare money on a more expensive energy-saving double-glazed window. It will pay for itself when you start saving significantly on heating costs. A noise-absorbing double-glazed window is needed if the veranda faces a noisy avenue or highway.
6. Fittings If you order “light” PVC windows, then it is logical to save on fittings. But try to avoid nameless cheap brands and choose German or Austrian quality (ROTO, Siegenia Aubi, GU). Replacing faulty fittings (rusted, bent) is not an easy procedure and costs additional investment.
7. Costs for decor (borders, tinting, stained glass, lamination) are not mandatory, but it is thanks to the decoration elements that windows and doors acquire an individual style.

A popular decoration element is layout . It can be internal (shprosy) and external (false binding). Shprosy serve not only for decoration, but also to strengthen structures, for example, French floor-to-ceiling windows, portal doors.

The layout can enliven a monotonous plastic or wooden profile. Usually they choose white or golden colors, as well as “wood-like”. The cost of windows with layout is approximately the following:

• three-leaf window with one opening transom 1.5x2 m - about 22 thousand rubles. plus installation (if turnkey, then another 10 - 11 thousand);
• double-leaf with hinges 1.5x1.6 m - about 18 thousand;
• single-leaf 1500x800 – approximately 11 thousand rubles.

Lamination is the application of a special film to a regular white PVC profile. There are 3 lamination methods:

• one-sided;
• two-sided;
• bulk lamination.

For one-sided lamination, add another 15% to the cost of the window. But this is the cheapest of the 3 options. Approximate cost of laminated windows of the most popular sizes:

• three-leaf with one opening transom 1.5x2 m - about 22 thousand rubles;
• double-leaf 1.5x1.6 m - about 18 thousand.

Tinting in the form of an adhesive film is mainly applied to plastic windows and entrance doors. This design will cost no more than the cheapest lamination. There is also a method of bulk darkening a window by adding metal oxide to the molten glass. The cost of such tinting is higher. The price of stained glass depends on the manufacturing technology (Tiffany, film, painted, fusing, photo printing, beveled, poured), the complexity of the design, and the size of the windows.

When calculating the cost, also take installation into account. This is another 15 - 30 thousand to the total amount. For example, PVC terrace windows cost 22 thousand rubles, and with installation they will cost 35 - 36 thousand. Plastic sliding windows Slidors cost 16 - 19 thousand, and with installation - 31 - 34. Aluminum sliding windows Provedal - 13 - 14, and upon completion of the work - 28 - 29 thousand rubles.

How to choose soft windows

Manufacturers offer two types of film:

• PVC – thickness 500, 700, 800, 1000, 2000 microns;
• Polyurethane (PU) – thickness 500, 700 microns.

Windows made from PVC film are much cheaper; polyurethane ones are considered more durable with a smaller thickness. PU is even deliberately quite difficult to pierce or tear, but over time it can darken, and the price is almost twice as high. When choosing, you need to pay attention to the thickness of the film and the country of origin.

You shouldn’t chase cheapness, but you need to demand that the thickness and manufacturer of the film be specified in the contract. As it turned out, they can sell 500 microns, and even China. If you initially choose the cheapest windows, welded “with an iron in the garage,” naturally, there will be problems later.

For the private sector, a PVC film with a thickness of 700 microns is sufficient; it is unlikely that during operation conditions will arise under which it can be damaged.

As for the country, Japanese PVC film is in the lead; sometimes they offer supposedly Korean ones, but in this country they produce only colored PVC used for edgings.
