Large glazing is one of the most characteristic and desirable elements of modern construction. However, their use sometimes raises questions about functionality and security. Is it right?
The answers will address the transfer systems as the most technologically advanced. We will focus on the lift and sliding doors patio HST.
Do they protect against cold?
Large glazing in the house does not mean large heat escapes and the need to spend huge amounts on heating. If we use the right solutions, the joinery may have better insulation parameters than a masonry wall. How does this happen? The glass has almost twice the heat transfer coefficient U than the frame material (SUPERtermo glass is characterized by Ug=0.5-0.6 W/m?K). If we add to this ? as in the case of patio hst lift and sliding doors, low and warm threshold EcoPass (height 15mm) SUPERtermo glass with the warmest interglider frames MULTITECH, we will achieve the penetration coefficient Ud = 0.74 w/m2K.
Do they protect against burglary?
Thinking about large glazing, we have fears that thieves will find it easier to push through. Is it really? When choosing windows with an anti-burglary package, we can feel safe. Closed, that is, lowered to the threshold and locked door wing HST (also in the microventilation position), due to its weight and bolt system is an insurmountable barrier. In the patio hst lift and sliding door, we use perfect German furniture from SIEGENIA. They are complemented by p4A-class safety (burglary) glazing. These packages consist of two 4 mm trays glued together with a special PVB film. These windows, even after being broken (which is not easy), are difficult to push through due to as many as 4 layers of film.
What are the maximum dimensions?
It all depends on the material from which they were made. The HST ExternAL patio can even replace the entire wall and be up to 13 meters wide and up to 3 meters high. The PVC-made Patio HST can reach a maximum of 6.5 meters wide and 2.7 meters high. The final dimensions depend on the choice of a specific wing system and fixed glazing.
Will they be comfortable to use?
The use of large windows is played by the eye. Not only do they maintain the wing, but they are also responsible for the comfort of opening and closing it. SIEGENIA mechanisms, thanks to support systems, make it very easy to move even a very large and heavy HST wing. The opening comfort is improved by optionally available electrical motion assistance and remote control systems (e.g. remote control).
