Traditionally, French is called a balcony with a very narrow platform or without it at all. However, such constructions did not take root with us, but many people liked the beautiful name. Therefore, in Ukraine and in some other countries, a French balcony is called, which does not have a capital fence, and the glazing goes from floor to ceiling.
The answers to the question of whether it is often necessary to change the window seal are very different. Even in a professional environment, there is a whole range of opinions — from "never" to "once every 4 years or more often".
When choosing a window sill, you need to take into account several aspects at once. In order for the window sill to look organically and serve effectively — pay attention to the installation location, load, frequency of care. And don't forget about your requirements for the appearance of the window!
A standard white window is not suitable for any interior. A plain white surface does not always go well with furniture, wallpaper and textiles. An alternative may be to install laminated windows. Finishing the profile with a polymer film makes it possible to make the window indistinguishable from a wooden one — at the same time it retains all the advantages of PVC structures in terms of functionality and energy saving.
The sash of the plastic window is pressed against the frame due to the work of the fittings. But even the hardware itself cannot provide a hermetic pressure of plastic to plastic. Therefore, another element is added to the design — a sealer.
A double—glazed window is a structure whose heat and sound insulation characteristics are largely determined by its tightness. That is why the appearance of a crack in a double-glazed window significantly worsens all its characteristics.
In Ukraine, the use of energy-saving double-glazed windows began relatively recently. About 15 or even 10 years ago, even a standard single-chamber double-glazed window was considered quite efficient, and the level of energy saving was increased only by increasing the number of cameras. Energy-saving glass was considered a kind of exotic, and its effectiveness was questioned by many.
Plastic doors are quite easy to care for and maintain — this is one of their advantages. With the correct selection of components and compliance with the installation technology, such a door serves for a long time, and easily opens during the entire service life. In order for the mechanism to work without effort and extraneous sounds, it is enough not to expose it to extreme loads and periodically maintain it (cleaning lubrication).
