Glazing of balconies and loggias in Dnipro

Properly executed glazing of balconies and loggias, as well as their decoration from the inside and outside, make it possible not only to reduce the heat loss of the room, but also to get additional useful space. In Dnipro, with a large number of houses of old construction, the glazing of a balcony or loggia often allows you to improve the thermal insulation of an apartment.

Balcony glazing: window selection

When planning the glazing of a balcony in Dnipro or installing windows on a loggia, several factors must be taken into account at once:

• For installation on a balcony, it is worth choosing profile systems with a small mass and high thermal insulation indicators. When glazing a heated balcony or loggia, low thermal conductivity will be a priority — multi-chamber profile systems (WDS 6S, WDS 7S) allow you to ensure a comfortable temperature on the balcony even in the cold season.
• Energy-saving or multifunctional double-glazed windows are chosen as filling. The second option is relevant for glazing balconies that face the south or east side. So the balcony or loggia will be protected from both cold and heat.
• Intruders often use balconies and loggias located on the first and second floors to get into the apartment. To avoid this, you need to choose safe glazing (armored glass, triplex) and anti-burglar fittings.

When installing windows on the balcony, their correct installation is very important. The structures must be securely fastened, and the mounting seam must be designed in compliance with the requirements of the DSTU. Vapor barrier and vapor permeable mounting tapes are used to reduce heat loss, waterproofing and maintain ventilation.

Turnkey balcony finishing

In addition to installing energy-efficient metal-plastic windows, we also offer turnkey finishing services for balconies and loggias in Dnipro. At the same time, the balcony is first repaired, and then glazed and sheathed from the inside.

Finishing works are carried out according to the following scheme:

• After the diagnosis of the balcony, its design is strengthened. For this purpose, welding and concrete works are carried out to increase the strength of the overlap. It may also be necessary to install guides on which windows will be installed when glazing the balcony.
• The next stage is the insulation of the balcony. Plates of thermal insulation material are laid in the cells of the frame made of wooden beams or steel profiles. Foam, extruded polystyrene, mineral wool or other materials are used to insulate the balcony.
• Interior decoration is made using various materials. First, a rough plywood floor is laid, then the balcony is sheathed with plastic panels, MDF panels or wooden lining. At the final stage of interior decoration, the ceiling is sewn and the floor covering made of tiles, laminate or other material is mounted.
• Exterior decoration of balconies and loggias makes it possible to additionally protect them from heat loss and improve the appearance of balcony fencing. Profiled flooring or other materials are used for finishing.

Also, when finishing, it is possible to install canopies and canopies over balconies located on the top floor. At the same time, a welded metal frame is first mounted, and after glazing, roofing materials are installed. On the inside, the visor is insulated and hemmed with plastic lining or other materials.

Questions and answers

What should I pay attention to when glazing a balcony or loggia?

Choosing glazing for a balcony and loggia, you need to take into account several factors at once:

• Availability of heating. If the balcony is heated, then it is necessary to choose designs with the maximum heat-saving indicators (a six-chamber profile with a width of 70 mm, a double-chamber double-glazed window with energy-saving glass and argon). For an unheated balcony, you can limit yourself to the lightest possible design that will protect the room from moisture, wind and dust.
• The side of the light. If the balcony faces the south or south-east side, then you should take care of installing a multifunctional or sunscreen double-glazed window to protect against overheating in summer.
• Floor. For the first, second and last floors, it will be desirable to complete all structures with burglar-proof fittings.

Is it possible to order a French balcony?

French is called a balcony, in which the balcony fence has been completely or partially dismantled, and translucent structures have been installed instead. Floor-to-ceiling glazing provides a good view and allows you to radically transform the appearance of the balcony. At the same time, it is very important that the complete set of structures takes into account the features of the balcony, and the installation was carried out by highly qualified craftsmen.

Do I need to strengthen the balcony before glazing?

Balcony structures, especially those made on the basis of premium profile systems and equipped with multi-chamber double-glazed windows, can have a large mass. Therefore, in some cases, it is really necessary to strengthen the balcony plate — especially if the installation will have to be carried out on a partially destroyed or worn-out base.

In any case, it is desirable that the balcony should be examined by a measurement master before manufacturing structures for its glazing, who will be able to assess the degree of wear. If necessary, the installation team will perform welding work and strengthen the balcony plate before installing the windows.

Is it possible to order designs for balcony glazing without installation?

You can order the manufacture of structures for balcony glazing in the right size, but at the same time install them yourself or entrust the installation to a third-party organization. But we do not recommend doing this for two reasons:

• With self-installation, all warranty obligations on the structure cease to apply.
• We will also not be responsible for any difficulties associated with the installation of the balcony and its further operation.

Is it possible to order turnkey balcony glazing — with insulation and finishing?

When ordering designs for balcony glazing in our company, you can also order their turnkey installation. The service includes:

• Preparation of the foundation for the installation of metal-plastic structures (including with the use of welding).
• Installation of metal-plastic structures (standard or according to the requirements of DSTU).
• Interior decoration of the balcony with thermal insulation and installation of finishing materials.
• The exterior cladding of the balcony.

Are there any special features when glazing balconies on the first and last floors?

Balconies on the first, second and last floor are at risk from the point of view of unauthorized entry. Therefore, it is optimal to install structures in a burglar—proof configuration here - with burglar-proof fittings and triplex, armored or tempered glass as part of a double-glazed window.

In addition, when glazing a balcony on the top floor, it may be necessary to manufacture a visor on a metal frame. This task can also be solved by the masters from our company.

Is it possible to glaze the balcony in installments?

When ordering designs in our online store, it is possible to purchase them in installments. The amount of the overpayment depends on the period for which the installment plan will be issued. If the term does not exceed 3 months, then the overpayment will be 0% (it is enough to pay 150 UAH for the installment service). With a maximum period of 10 months, the total cost will increase by only 5% ( 500 UAH for installment service).
