What is good about a turnkey winter garden made of aluminum profiles?

Glazing of winter gardens and terraces has two purposes: aesthetic and functional. From an aesthetic point of view everything is clear. Glazing doesn't just have to be beautiful. It should provide the widest possible view, a view of the beautiful landscape. In this connection, panoramic glazing of winter gardens is often used, including using jumbo glass.

By what means can this goal be achieved? And, at the same time, to realize the second – functional – task of glazing? In other words, how to glaze a winter garden so that it is beautiful, warm and light?

What is included in turnkey work?

Installation

When constructing winter gardens, engineers develop a design for the future structure. The order of installation work depends on the type of system. Usually a metal frame is installed, translucent panels are fixed, and the seams are sealed. Frameless types of structures are attached to load-bearing bases using brackets. We carry out installation work within Moscow and the region.

Locks [CHOICE]

We install single-point and multi-point mechanical locks; locking mechanisms based on electromagnets; electric locks with digital or alphabetic code; electronic opening/closing systems when reading the retina or fingerprint.

Warm thresholds [OPTIONAL]

Thresholds made of warm aluminum profile to enhance the thermal insulation and protective properties of doors.

Closers [OPTIONAL]

Pneumatic and hydraulic mechanisms to regulate the speed of door movement during opening and closing. Regardless of the effort made by the person, the door is brought to the closed position and the lock is locked.

Accessories [CHOICE]

Espagnols, latches, limiters, handles, eyes, armor plates for locks, flashings from reliable manufacturers. We select components to match the color of the profiles.

Hinges [CHOICE]

Durable and wear-resistant door hinges. The quantity is calculated depending on the door parameters. Decorating and painting to match the profile.

Handles [CHOICE]

Handles made of durable materials with a protective coating are resistant to chemical and physical influences. Easy to use, reliable and durable.

Double-glazed windows [CHOICE]

Double-glazed windows, tempered glass, and triplex are installed in the aluminum structure. Regardless of the type of glazing, the system is equipped with safety impact-resistant glass, which does not form sharp fragments when broken. A colored, darkening, mirror film is applied to the outer layer of the glass unit, or durable enamel glass is used.

Automation

The shutters are opened/closed manually, using a control panel, or automatic operating modes can be set. Embedded automatic systems can be equipped with motion, precipitation, and air temperature sensors. Based on the data received, the electronic control system can independently make decisions about the position of aluminum doors and windows.

Opening elements (windows, vents)

The winter garden should be designed taking into account ventilation. Windows and vents for air access are designed for this. Depending on the opening method, there are windows: hinged, sliding, or tilting. Everyone chooses the right one depending on personal preferences and functionality. The number of windows and vents depends on the volume of the room and its location in relation to the cardinal points. On the south side, with a lot of sunlight inside the building, the air heats up, which necessitates the installation of a large number of opening windows.

What does the structure consist of?

The frames are made from an aluminum alloy with admixtures of magnesium and silicon. The chemical properties of the alloy make it possible to obtain the necessary indicators of electrical conductivity, melting point, waterproofing, and thermal insulation. When interacting with oxygen atoms, a high-density protective layer of aluminum oxide is formed on the frame. This profile is resistant to corrosion, acids, solvents, and other active chemical compounds. Mold and fungi do not form on aluminum surfaces.

The robust profile can support infill with large glass heights. Therefore, frames with aluminum frames are used for glazing gazebos, finishing balconies and facades of buildings, and glazing loggias in apartments. Metal frames are filled with transparent sheets of glass or double-glazed windows. The principle of translucent filling is no different from the glazing of balconies and loggias. To protect against sunlight in summer, glass with tinted films is used.

Advantages of translucent filler:

• Aluminum windows allow plenty of natural light into the room.
• Durable metal frames can withstand loads, ensuring reliable operation. Unlike wood, aluminum alloy does not change its physical properties due to high humidity or temperature changes.
• Simple installation and a lightweight foundation allow the construction of frames in a short time. There is no need to further strengthen the load-bearing supports. It is possible to construct structures of complex shapes.
• The designs are easy to use. Maintenance does not require the use of special detergents or periodic use of cleaning companies.
• Environmentally friendly, safe for the environment and human health. Unlike plastic windows and PVC entrance blocks, panoramic glazing made from metal profiles does not emit harmful substances and can be recycled at a low cost.

Choosing a side

One of four options is possible:

• North. There is little natural sunlight here, which is good for shade-tolerant crops. However, the room will quickly give off heat, so you will need to think about not only additional lighting, but also full heating. Even those crops that need wintering will not grow on the north side without heating, since in any case the temperature should not fall below +3-+5 degrees.
• South. From the point of view of lighting and heating in winter, this is an ideal option, but in summer additional shading will be required (for example, blinds can prevent excessive insolation, and they are also easy to adjust). In addition, you will need to consider ventilation and a humidification system.
• East. This is the best option in most cases, since plants will be comfortable here at any time of the year. In winter it will be light and warm here, and in summer it will be quite shady and humid. It is also important that the translucent structures do not overheat on this side. Most of the sun will fall here in the morning, when the rays are not yet aggressive, which means that the likelihood of getting burned by the leaves is minimized.
• West. In winter, such rooms quickly warm up and retain heat well, and in summer additional shading may be required in the evening.

How are metal frames decorated?

To paint profiles, powder coating, anodizing, and lamination methods are used. A variety of colors and textures allows you to choose the right shade. It makes it possible to create an aluminum structure that will fit perfectly into the design of any room, both in classic and modern style.

Powder coating aluminum frames offers over 150 color options to choose from, from clean bright shades to muted pastels. Anodizing not only colors, but also protects the profile. Finished products acquire a durable oxide layer, which increases resistance to physical deformation. Thanks to anodizing technology, colors such as pearl white, silver gray, golden yellow, golden green, bronze can be obtained. Make an imitation of copper, chrome and other materials. When laminating, a special film is used for wooden frames or stone. The film is glued to the outer part of the frame. The frames undergo heat treatment and are then ready for use.

Materials for winter garden frames

For the production of winter garden frames we use the following materials:

• Aluminum profile. It can be painted in any color, is lightweight and has good strength characteristics, and is impervious to moisture and temperature changes;
• Wood and aluminum. This combination provides wooden structures indoors and aluminum ones outside, and therefore combines the beauty of natural solid wood and the practicality of steel.

How to keep warm?

Warm glazing is used in heated buildings. In such premises you can equip:

• greenhouses, greenhouses for growing plants;
• a relaxation area for a comfortable pastime with the effect of being among nature;
• gym or swimming pool;
• conference room in an office, business center, government agency;
• a place for family leisure in winter.

In warm systems, a combined type of profiles is used. Between the outer and inner sides of the frames in profile systems there is a heat-insulating insert. The insert material is glass-filled polyamide. Fillers are made from two-, three-, four-chamber double-glazed windows. The use of special coating and films can significantly increase the energy-saving properties of the system. Winter gardens provide additional insulation for the main building.

Cold glazing is used in gazebos at cottages, entertainment or medical institutions. Glass sheets are single-chamber, but have a high coefficient of strength and impact resistance.

Translucent structures are often used to complement luxury private houses, country mansions and modern business centers. When creating them, it is important to think through the functionality and design of each element. The glazing of a winter garden is of great importance, since the microclimate, degree of lighting and appearance depend on it. The N-okna company produces and installs glazing in greenhouses and atriums, and has been working in this field for more than 18 years.

A full production cycle, professional design, and the use of high-quality materials allow us to obtain results of maximum quality, which is confirmed by an official guarantee for a period of three years.

Advantages of an aluminum winter garden

Structures based on high-quality aluminum profiles and glass have the following advantages:

• Maximum transmission of natural light, which allows you to grow exotic light-loving plants.
• Durability and reliability. The aluminum frame combines low weight and high strength parameters. It can withstand increased static and wind loads and does not deform. The structures are not subject to corrosion even with constant exposure to high humidity.
• Comfortable microclimate throughout the year. Optimal temperature and humidity levels are maintained inside. For objects with year-round use with heating, a warm profile with a thermal insert is used, for seasonal unheated ones - a cold one.
• Safety. The materials used do not contain toxic components, do not emit foreign odors, have a high degree of fire safety and comply with environmental standards.
• Ease of use. For regular ventilation, the system can be equipped with windows with any opening mechanism.
• Extensive opportunities for the implementation of original design projects. The profile can be used to create structures of various configurations and sizes, including large areas. For decoration, lamination, frames, stained glass, and frosted glass are used. The profile surface can be coated with powder paint of any color.
• Long service life. With regular maintenance and prevention, the structure will last 60 years or more. Worn elements and fittings can be easily replaced.
• When ordering from a manufacturer, the price for winter garden glazing is set without additional extra charges, which allows you to save up to 20%.

Types of glass for glazing a winter garden with aluminum profiles

When constructing a translucent structure, a metal profile is filled with polycarbonate panels, a sandwich, and most often with glass or double-glazed windows. The most popular filling options are:

• Double-glazed windows with different options. Energy saving - provide maximum protection from the cold. Multifunctional - in winter they do not allow cold air to penetrate inside, in summer - they protect from heat and reflect thermal energy. With tinted glass - block the view from the outside. Armored - withstands strong impacts and provides anti-vandal protection.
• Stained glass. Decoration can be done in different ways. Stained glass windows create a spectacular look and hide viewing; from an artistic point of view, they can be made in any style and combine several technologies.
• Triplex. Laminated glass is used in systems to increase security. It can withstand shock loads and, in case of damage, does not shatter into sharp fragments.

Type of aluminum profile for glazing winter gardens

When ordering glazing of a winter garden with an aluminum profile, you can choose the following types of systems:

• Cold. It is a metal frame without a thermal insert, so it protects well from moisture, wind and dust, but has a low thermal insulation rate. The PROVEDAL profile is perfect for such purposes - strong, lightweight and durable.
• Warm. Profile systems with polyamide thermal insert provide a high level of thermal protection, which can be compared with PVC windows. When installing a “warm floor” in a room, it can be used all year round.

Stages of glazing a winter garden

Work on creating translucent structures is carried out in the following sequence:

• Preparation of the project and visualized concept. The garden can be designed and built together with the main building or completed as a separate extension to the facade. Measurements and engineering calculations are carried out.
• Selection of materials and components. Depends on the architectural features of the structure and the features of its operation. It can be cold or warm systems, regular or multifunctional glass.
• Production stage. It is carried out by specialists in factory conditions under constant quality control. Precise adherence to geometric parameters ensures quick installation, convenient and durable operation.
• Delivery of elements throughout Moscow and installation in accordance with all building codes and regulations. The quality of the work performed is confirmed by warranty.

Types of winter garden designs

Popular types of building designs:

• Rectangular - single-pitched, gable, with a break.
• Shed - corner external and internal, external bay window.
• Single-pitch corner single bay window, double bay window.
• Gable with bay window.
• The gazebo is triangular, hexagonal, multifaceted, and can be attached.

Prices for aluminum glazing of winter gardens in the company Narodnye Windows

The most profitable option is to order turnkey windows for your winter garden from the manufacturer. The final cost is calculated in the estimate and depends on the following factors:

• area and configuration of the structure;
• opening sizes;
• type of profile, packages, fittings;
• requirements for indoor conditions.

Decoration, installation of additional options and accessories is also important, which is agreed with the client at the design stage.

How are winter gazebos built?

Winter gazebos are located in the yard or garden area. They are completely autonomous and have their own entrance. The design of a glazed gazebo in the garden can be designed in relation to the cardinal directions in order to make maximum use of natural light. The disadvantage of a free-standing structure is that it is necessary to carry out communications. It is important to properly consider heating and power supply methods. Entering through the street can also be an inconvenience in bad weather conditions. The price of an autonomous building will be more expensive.

Foundation Features

The width and depth of the foundation are determined solely by the type of structure chosen. Its installation is necessary, since the weight of plants together with pots will be quite significant. The foundation not only provides support for the support pillars, but also prevents soil subsidence. Usually it is made of reinforced concrete, waterproofed and quite high, at least 150 mm. This will protect against splashes from the ground during rain, and will also prevent leaks in the area adjacent to the building.

How are glass-transparent extensions to a house made?

The extension is made in the form of a glazed veranda or terrace in the house. It has a lower cost due to the fact that it is adjacent to the wall adjacent to the house. It is much easier to install heating and electricity into a room attached to the house. However, the location depends on the main building. The roof can cast shadows onto the winter garden, reducing the amount of natural light. Snow and rainwater can also fall from the roof onto the conservatory, increasing the load on the frame. When developing an extension project, it is important to take into account the type of soil to prevent subsidence of the blocks. The entrance group is equipped in any type of structure. Assumes the presence of blind, opening sashes and doors.

Windows, doors, interior partitions are equipped with various opening mechanisms:

• sliding doors;
• swing;
• folding;
• folding.

Sliding doors save space in the room.
Folding ones provide natural ventilation. The veranda is glazed using French panoramic windows from floor to ceiling. Detached winter gardens and country house extensions may have the following roof features:

• single or gable roof;
• hip or arched roof.

To create a translucent roof, choose impact-resistant glass or polycarbonate. On the roof of an extension in a private house, you can install skylights, which will become an additional source of lighting and ventilation. Closers, latches, handles, and mosquito nets are used as accessories for systems with an aluminum profile frame.

Additional items

A winter garden without heating is a fairly cold room in winter. I have to bring flowers home. To ensure warmth, you should take care of heating, creating a plant irrigation system, and protecting from insects with mosquito nets. If you do not have tinted windows, you should hang blinds to protect from the scorching sun. If they live in a greenhouse, install warm floors and provide lighting.

A modern winter garden needs to create a security system that includes the placement of smoke sensors, temperatures, and changes in weather conditions. For comfortable use, automatic drives are installed to open windows, vents, and roller shutters. You can sit in a chair using a remote control to open and close windows and doors.

Wooden glazing

Wooden glazing

It is very often used when glazing a winter garden with your own hands. When using Euro timber and modern technologies, it can combine the best qualities of plastic and aluminum glazing. It harmonizes with the main goal of creating a winter garden: to bring people closer to nature.

But... It is expensive, requires constant maintenance and is not nearly as industrialized as aluminum and plastic glazing.

How to protect plants from the sun

Excess sunlight is also undesirable for many plants, as is its deficiency. Prolonged exposure to direct rays in the summer season causes overheating of the winter garden, which is detrimental to many of its inhabitants. This undesirable phenomenon can be combated by:

• installation of electrochromic double-glazed windows;
• pasting sunscreen films;
• installation of special awnings for winter gardens.

The most practical and convenient option is to install electrochromic double-glazed windows. However, due to the cost of such models, many customers still choose two other methods. If we compare them, awnings are preferable because they allow you to more effectively regulate the level of darkness.
