Panoramic windows give any home an extraordinary look that differs from other standard projects. They began to be used in construction not so long ago. The house with panoramic windows looks modern and unusual. The photos show how such structures focus on the interior, combined with the space outside. If you are planning to decorate your house with such a window, then keep in mind that the installation of dimensional structures has its own nuances.

A house with panoramic windows is the best solution for a country estate. You can see photos of beautiful projects on our website. Panoramic structures have undoubted advantages:

  • opening panorama from the window;
  • help to create a custom interior design;
  • are fairly safe structures;
  • excellent illumination for a long time.

The negative properties include the loss of heat-insulating qualities. In addition, it is worth taking care of the safety of the structure if there are children in the family. And also it is worth considering washing them, because without special devices it will be difficult to do this.

Such windows are made of durable glass, which is covered with a special film. Even if damaged, such a system will not disintegrate into small fragments.

For your information! It is great if such a system is planned in the project, since if it is installed in an already finished building, then it will already be a redevelopment. And these works will have to be coordinated in certain instances.

Advantages of panoramic systems: installation nuances

A country house with panoramic windows looks great. Photo demonstrates two types of such glazing:

  • cold glazing includes an aluminum profile. In this case, a frameless method is used. The option is suitable for loggias, verandas or balconies;

  • for warm glazing, wood and plastic profiles are used. They are suitable for office and apartment use. Three-chamber and two-chamber double-glazed windows are used in such structures.

Panoramic glazing of the balcony is carried out using such a mechanism as aluminum profiles. They are installed around the entire perimeter of the window. In the middle of such a system, swing-flaps are mounted. Be sure to put metal visors and. These elements protect the glass from rain. It is worth taking care of the metal railings that provide safety on the balcony.


Verandas are mounted in a similar way. Such a structure has a triple opening perimeter. During installation, you can use accordion-shaped or folding doors.

Facades with panoramic windows are mounted using a post-transom system, and glass is fixed with special profiles.

Advice! With the help of special fittings, the movement of heavy sashes can be facilitated. In this case, the door closes very tightly.

In a special publication of our online magazine, the brightest photos of facades and interiors of different styles and trends are presented, inspiring planning and design ideas are collected.

Varieties of panoramic structures

Panoramic windows are represented by regular, corner, garden models, as well as false windows. Most often, ordinary windows are used. Corner ones are suitable for decorating an unusual interior. Such designs are used if you need to provide the maximum amount of light. False windows are a cheaper option for changing the interior. A similar design consists of illuminated panels in which a canvas with a beautiful landscape is inserted.

Such designs differ in the way of opening:

  • the most common swing-out. They allow you to open the sashes completely or slightly open them;

  • parallel-sliding provide excellent thermal insulation and tightness. In such designs, they often fail;

  • accordion-folding windows have poor thermal insulation properties. These options are suitable for warm regions;

  • the most functional option is the lift-and-slide mechanism. It is warmer and quieter.

These models can be with or without frames. Framed products are more durable and can last a long time. Such elements are made of plastic, aluminum or reinforced metal.

For your information! Large windows will need special curtains, and the cornice can be attached to the ceiling or wall.

Frame materials

It is important to decide not only on the design, but also on the materials. Metal products are durable and known for excellent heat transfer. Such windows can have different shapes. For example, in the form of an arch or a rounded shape. In addition, metal devices are fireproof and provide excellent burglary protection. It is worth choosing products with anti-corrosion treatment. The combination for metal and wood frames looks interesting. This option will help to combine furniture not only with interior decoration, but also with exterior.


Houses made of profiled beams with panoramic timber windows look great. This material is popular due to its environmental friendliness and energy intensity. Hardwoods are treated with special chemical solutions that protect against fungus.


Panoramic systems are made of aluminum, which contains special components for extra strength. At the same time, aluminum structures are lighter than wood products.


For your information! Metal and wood are more durable materials than PVC. But sometimes it is more expedient to use plastic. It is not as cool as metal and does not lend itself to rainfall like wood.

The secret of large glazing

The latest technologies of translucent structures provide opportunities for installing panoramic systems even in harsh climatic conditions. With their help, you can visually lighten a massive building. They provide an incredible view of the surrounding landscape and also add a modern touch to the design. Large-format glazing creates maximum illumination.


If, then you can use the layout without overlap. This will create a room with high ceilings and two levels of illumination. It can be used as a conservatory, living room or resting place.

A large amount of heat loss is produced not only through the profile systems, but also through the translucent structure. In this case, it is necessary to think over additional insulation. Installation of a double-glazed window with two cameras is efficient.

When choosing panoramic windows, you should pay attention to the following important points:

  • cold or warm glazing. In the first option, frames are usually not used, it is suitable for balconies and loggias;
  • the frame can be made of various materials. The most environmentally friendly is wood, which reduces heat loss. Aluminum is lighter and PVC is the easiest material to care for. At the same time, heat loss is average;
  • opening methods;
  • types of glass. For example, toned or darkened. The canvas can be reflex and mirror. This coating consists of metal oxides, which allows light to be reflected;
  • important is the number of chambers that are located between the glasses and provide a decrease in heat loss.

Care features

Before purchasing such designs, you need to think about washing panoramic windows. Because of streaks and stains, the glass loses its transparency. If the glass unit is ordinary, then getting rid of dirt is not so difficult. It is difficult to carry out cleaning procedures when panoramic structures are located not on the ground floor, but above. In this case, cleaning is ordered by industrial climbers. To make structures less contaminated, it is recommended to think over a drainage system.


At the same time, it is enough to simply wash the panoramic windows from the inside. For this, water with special detergents is used, as well as a glass cleaner. To clean the outside surface, you should use a special window mop. To clean the blind flaps, a mop is used, the length of which reaches one and a half meters.

For your information! When washing windows, a special mounting belt with a chain is used for insurance, which is attached to the heating riser.

Projects of houses with panoramic windows and a terrace: the advantages of functional solutions

Panoramic windows suggest an interesting home design. The perfect solution would be to use a rustic, classic or modern style in the interior. Great views from the window are complemented by natural materials such as brick, timber and wild stone. You can decorate the structures with curtains made of translucent fabrics.

Most often, template projects are not used to install such systems, only personal ones. Before installation, it is important to consider the following points:

  • you will need a powerful heating system;
  • it is better to plan volumetric glazing in advance;
  • so that frost does not form on the glass, you need to mount it;
  • shipping and manufacturing cost will be higher than standard designs.

The heating system needs to be planned in advance. There are many ways of high-quality heating. These are double-glazed windows with built-in heating, and, as well as electric, oil or air radiators for panoramic windows. To create a warm atmosphere, double-glazed windows with several chambers and with a good quality profile should be installed.

The latest technology includes electrically heated glass. It is used in double-glazed windows. But this option is an additional heating option.


For your information! According to realtors, a house with a panoramic window is then easier to sell and at the same time its value increases significantly.

Bay window decoration

The bay window is a protruding element of the front section with windows. It is used to increase the usable area. In addition, such an element of the interior allows you to give more illumination to the room.


The bay window can be decorated in accordance with the design of the main room or become a completely different room. This space can be designed for a living area, for a study, as well as for a dining or play area. In addition, the glass design will allow you to create a luxurious winter garden in a small area.


How to choose the option of panoramic windows in a private house: photo, price and interesting models

When choosing a reliable design, the cost of a panoramic window and its purpose are important. Let's take a look at both. The table shows prices for some models, and below the photo is a gallery of interesting ideas.

A huge number of developers want to build a new home, the rooms in which will be flooded with the light of the sun, and from the windows of which you can look at the beautiful view of the garden in the courtyard or the city at night. These desires are feasible in the presence of large areas of glazing from private houses. Among modern developers, one-story houses with panoramic glazing are quite popular, as they are characterized by premises with a high level of comfort and indescribable charm.

Plans for projects of one-story houses with large windows: nuances

When deciding to buy standard or order author's projects of cottages with panoramic glazing, it is important to consider the following features:

  • Since glass is characterized by a high thermal conductivity due to the thermal properties of the material and its low thickness, when choosing projects with large panoramic windows, it is important to take into account such a factor as the location of panoramic glazing in relation to the cardinal points. To create better comfort conditions, it is recommended to install panoramic windows from the south-west or south side. Due to this arrangement of windows, the flow of sunlight into the premises will be increased.
  • The layout of single-storey houses with large windows should also be taken into account in design and construction. It is extremely important to choose the right width and height of panoramic windows and their locations in the room so that there is no feeling of a storefront.
  • When implementing architectural projects for houses with large windows, special attention must be paid to the quality of materials used to install panoramic glazing. Window fittings require special attention. Hardware of poor quality and at a low price can not support the weight of large windows and lead to the destruction of the entire structure.
  • Large windows will look original in the living room, bedroom, winter garden, hall or dining room. But it is important to foresee the installation of curtains or blinds in advance. Quite often, a one-story house with large windows allows you to additionally perform panoramic glazing of a terrace or veranda and organize a winter garden there. Many developers mistakenly believe that panoramic windows are only suitable for rooms with a large area. In fact, large windows can be harmoniously fit into absolutely any interior, the main thing is that the size of the windows is proportional to the area of ​​the premises. In such cases, even rooms of small areas will visually appear more spacious.

Plans for one-story houses with large windows: taking into account the climatic zone

It is important to understand that projects of residential buildings with panoramic glazing, developed for one climatic zone, are not suitable for turnkey implementation in another climatic region. Only a competently performed thermal engineering calculation of the premises during the installation of panoramic glazing makes it possible to determine the measures, the implementation of which will ensure comfortable conditions in the room even in the coldest winter.

It is also important to pay attention to the material for the manufacture of window structures. In this section of the catalog, we have collected projects of one-story houses with large windows (photos, videos, sketches, diagrams and drawings are available for viewing on the site). Such house designs break the stereotypes that large windows are applicable only for multi-storey buildings.

Advantages and disadvantages of huge windows

Before discussing the pros and cons of panoramic glazing, you should pay attention to two important aspects:

  1. Panoramic windows were invented in French, where the winter temperature does not drop below seven degrees Celsius.
  2. High-quality performance of the panoramic is possible only if it was provided for at the design stage of the house. Attempts to make changes to existing walls in order to install such structures can lead not only to the loss of the external appearance of the building, but also to its partial or complete destruction.

And now let's sort out, as they say, on the shelves, the advantages and disadvantages of large windows.

pros Minuses
An incomparable view, especially if there is something to look at. If you have a garden or if the house is located on a hill with excellent views, these windows are simply a delight to the eyes.Even with the installation of the most modern heating systems, the energy losses will be greater than with the usual size of windows. Houses with such glazing require an average of thirty percent more costs for.
Panoramic glazing allows you to well illuminate the room with natural light until sunset.Placing glass directly above the floor can pose an additional hazard to young children. An awkward movement, a successful goal with a ball, or just a fall of an object can lead to serious injury. Prudent owners install special fences in front of such windows.
Houses with such windows have a beautiful facade.To admire a beautiful view, you need to keep the glass clean. Cleaning panoramic windows will require additional effort and expense.
Realtors say that with panoramic windows or a bay window can be sold for much more than a cottage with ordinary window openings.Huge glass makes the house look like. Its inhabitants can be admired not only by curious neighbors, but also by intruders. They can use a glass wall for penetration.
Any damage to the panoramic window entails significant costs. Replacing such glass will not be easy, you will have to attract professionals.

The pros and cons of large windows are a reason to think hard before making a decision. It is much easier to abandon the panoramic view if there is nothing to admire - if, for example, on the contrary, you can see only a dull wall of a neighboring house or a dusty road.

Bay window as decoration of the facade

Without a doubt, the bay window is one of the varieties of panoramic glazing, which is a decoration of the cottage. Due to this protrusion, you can significantly increase the living room area, or. It is pleasant to sit with a book or receive guests in this cozy corner of the house.

Varieties of bay windows:


It has frame glazing, in which there are opening sashes in the side frames. Usually frames are placed at angles of thirty degrees relative to each other and to the wall.


This is not a standard ledge, the windows are at right angles. This area is ideal for relaxation.


In such structures, in addition to frames, a flexible profile and additional connecting elements are used. The higher the glass in such a bay window, the more attractive it looks in the ensemble.

This is perhaps the most difficult form to perform. Such designs can only be done by professionals. They require the use of curved glass and are located mainly in the corner of the building.

In the article, we will take a closer look at domed houses: projects and prices, photos and recommendations of experienced specialists. The knowledge gained will be useful in choosing the method by which the building will be erected.

What is important to know about panoramic glazing

In order for the glazing to be reliable and beautiful, it is necessary to approach the selection of materials with all responsibility.

Important! An impressive glass surface will put a lot of stress on the frame. Part of this weight is the profile. It is necessary to select not too heavy, but durable material.


Glass

The selection of a double-glazed window is an important aspect. For large surfaces, you need to choose a special glass:

  • hardened - has a strength that is five times higher than usual;
  • laminated () - consists of several plates, fastened with a special film, such a structure gives the material special strength;
  • coated - reinforcing film strengthens the surface and additionally protects against bright ultraviolet radiation;
  • tinted and reflective - used for the sunny side of the building;
  • energy-saving - the material of the glass units is coated from the inside with silver or tin oxide for better heat retention.

Advice! Cleaning panoramic windows is not an easy procedure that requires patience and sustainability. Special magnetic brushes have appeared on the market, allowing you to clean the window from the outside without leaving the room.


Frames

Glazing frames can be vinyl - this material is very easy to maintain and retains its color for a long time. Vinyl does not dry out, does not crack and is not susceptible to fungal attack.

PVC profiles are not very suitable for glass panoramas. PVC tends to deform when the temperature changes and, if it is little noticeable in small areas, on huge windows such deformation can lead to very unpleasant consequences.

Wooden frames are traditional and sustainable. But when choosing this option, you should remember that such frames will require constant supervision and maintenance.


The aluminum profile is an almost timeless material. To improve its thermal insulation qualities, such profiles are supplied with polyamide "guts".

For your information! The most "advanced" glazing option is the so-called "smart windows". They are equipped with a ventilation system and sensors that control ventilation and closing. They can become opaque when the sun is too bright. The glass coating is water and dirt repellent. Such windows can be controlled via the Internet and maintain the necessary microclimate in the house even during a long absence of the owners. The cost of a panoramic window with such properties is calculated in six figures.

Installation tricks

The main thing in the installation of panoramic structures is to ensure their complete safety. When glazing in an apartment, as a rule, blind frames are placed on the sides, and two swing-out flaps are made in the center for ventilation. In the bay window, on the contrary, the side parts are made opening.

Visors are placed on top of such structures to protect from rain. Below -. An internal fence is installed if there are children in the house or if the owners are simply not sure of their agility. Fences are usually made of stainless steel. Less commonly, forged metal. I must admit that the latter look very beautiful.

On verandas and terraces, glazing can be with a mechanism. In this case, the glass without frames is connected by a special mechanism that allows you to assemble and disassemble the structure as needed.


Heating

Heat loss due to the large area can be reduced by using special ones. Since you cannot install the usual one under the windowsill, use a low one for a panoramic window. Its height is only twenty to thirty centimeters. If it cannot be used, it can be purchased, it is a very effective tool for maintaining a stable room temperature. The curtain can be installed on top of the window or recessed into the floor below it. Convectors in the floor should be located at a distance of thirty centimeters from the window opening, so that warm air does not "get entangled" in. In addition to the above, the task with a panoramic view can be performed by:

  • (electric or water);
  • fireplaces (or).

Architects' fantasies: projects of houses with panoramic windows and a terrace

The use of new technologies in construction allows designers to more and more boldly approach the design of panoramic or glazed windows.

Here are some examples of projects:




Panoramic windows in a private house: photo, issue price

The cost of panoramic windows depends not only on their area. This is just one of many factors. In addition to the size, the price is influenced by:

  • additional structural elements (, ebb, mesh,);
  • accessories (handles, mechanisms);
  • work of craftsmen (installation of new windows and dismantling of old ones, decoration and thermal insulation);
  • transportation cost.

The main expense item is the profile. A good profile cannot be cheap. It is cheaper to purchase a white profile. All other colors and finishes will vary in price. The cost of a window sill depends on its width: the wider, the more expensive.
