If you are planning to renovate your balcony or loggia, the correct choice of uPVC windows is one of the most important stages of the process. Windows for the balcony or loggia should not only be a beautiful addition to the room design, but also provide high quality and functionality.
Dostawaokien offers a wide range of uPVC windows from REHAU. In this article, we will take a detailed look at how to properly choose uPVC windows for a balcony or loggia, what types of balconies and loggias there are, and what advantages the choice of uPVC windows provides.
How to properly choose windows for a balcony?
Choosing the right uPVC windows for a balcony or loggia is very important, as it affects not only the aesthetics of the space but also its comfort and functionality. When selecting uPVC windows for a balcony, it's essential to consider several important aspects, such as size and design.</p
Our company offers a wide range of uPVC profiles for balcony units. The basic glazing option is the REHAU EURO 60, which is perfect for cold glazing. Warmer and more functional profile systems, such as REHAU EURO 70 and REHAU BRILLANT DESIGN, are better choices for a loggia or balcony. Additionally, exclusive profile systems - REHAU GENEO and REHAU SYNEGO - are available for order, providing maximum energy-saving and sound insulation characteristics.
Examining the main types of balconies and loggias and their features
To properly choose uPVC windows for balconies and loggias, it is important to understand the features of different types of balconies.
Regular balcony, balcony frame
The first and most common type is the regular balcony. The structure consists of four parts, two of which have casements and can be opened to the side or tilted upwards. Such a balcony is usually on the same level as the room's surface and has a typical southern or western orientation. In addition to regular balconies, balcony frames are very popular, made from a large number of uPVC windows connected to each other. This is a convenient and functional solution that allows for maximum utilization of the balcony space.
Panoramic balcony
A panoramic balcony features large windows that occupy almost the entire area from floor to ceiling, providing a panoramic view of the city or nature. This allows for enjoying beautiful views from a height and bringing more light into the room. A panoramic balcony is one of the most modern and innovative types of balconies. This type of balcony is most commonly used in contemporary buildings with beautiful landscapes where there is a need to receive the maximum amount of natural light in the room.
When choosing uPVC windows for a balcony, it is important to consider the size and shape, as well as your own needs, such as energy efficiency, sun protection, and sound insulation. The choice should be approached with great responsibility, as balcony structures have a large area. Conventional balconies can have a standard structure with four walls, two of which have opening windows. Panoramic balconies have been gaining popularity lately, as they add originality and style to the building. However, such structures have a complex shape and require the use of special profiles and window packages to ensure reliability and energy efficiency. When choosing uPVC windows for panoramic balcony, it is important to pay attention to the installation and adjustment of fittings.
Windows for the balcony
When choosing plastic windows for a balcony, it is necessary to consider aspects such as the number and location of sashes, design and color of the profile, type of glass, and much more. Our company, Dostawaokien, offers a wide range of windows that take into account all the requirements and wishes of clients.
How to choose a glazing unit for a balcony and a loggia
One of the important aspects when choosing upvc windows for balconies and loggias is the correct selection of glazing units. Glazing units consist of two or more sheets of glass with special technical characteristics to improve energy efficiency and sound insulation.
Main types of glazing units:
- Single-chamber glazing unit.
- Double-chamber glazing unit.
- Energy-saving glazing units.
- Sun-protective glazing units.
- Safety glazing units.
Single-chamber glazing units are simple and affordable options suitable for unheated (cold) balconies. These glazing units consist of two sheets of glass, which is why they are significantly inferior to double-chamber glazing units in terms of thermal and sound insulation.
Double-chamber glazing units are a more energy-efficient option. They consist of three sheets of glass and two air gaps (chambers). The air chambers play an important role in energy conservation because they reduce heat transfer between the external and internal environments. This makes double-chamber glazing units more effective than single-chamber glazing units.
Energy-saving glazing units are used for maximum energy conservation. They have a special coating that ensures minimal thermal conductivity and maximum heat retention.
Our company, Dostawaokien, offers a wide range of glazing units for plastic windows for balconies and loggias that meet all requirements and wishes of clients.
In addition, it should be noted that for cold glazing, the REHAU EURO 60 profile system and a single-chamber glazing unit are suitable, while for warm glazing, all other systems such as REHAU EURO 70, REHAU BRILLANT DESIGN, REHAU GENEO, and REHAU SYNEGO are appropriate.
Also, when choosing a glazing unit, you should consider the location of your residence. If you live in an area with increased noise (windows facing a road, bus stop, etc.), it is more advisable to install glazing units using laminated (triplex) glass. Additionally, if your balcony or loggia faces the sunny side, it is recommended to install glazing units with sun-protective coating, which will help to reduce heat entering the room in the summer and improve thermal insulation in the winter.
Installation of upvc windows on a balcony and loggia
The installation of windows is an important component of the setup process. The longevity of the windows, their energy efficiency, and sound insulation depend on the proper installation.
The price of uPVC windows for a balcony
The price of upvc windows for balconies and loggias can vary significantly depending on the manufacturer, materials used, and window specifications.
One of the important aspects to consider when choosing windows for a balcony is their price. The price of upvc windows depends on several factors, such as the profile type, glass type, window size, and complexity of installation.
Profile type
However, it should be noted that the price of uPVC windows for a balcony can be different from the market price if you turn to professionals from the company Dostawaokien. We guarantee the best quality on the market at the manufacturer's factory price, as well as free consultation and selection of the optimal window options for your balcony or loggia. Our experts will take measurements, prepare an estimate and provide detailed information about all the advantages and characteristics of plastic windows for a balcony made from REHAU profiles. Contact us now, and we will be happy to help you make the right choice and provide impeccable quality.
One of the main aspects that affect the price of uPVC windows for balconies and loggias is the profile system. The cost of the window construction depends on the profile model (REHAU EURO 60, REHAU EURO 70, REHAU BRILLANT, REHAU GENEO, or REHAU SYNEGO), its installation depth in millimeters (width), the number of chambers, and energy-saving indicators.
Profile color
The color of the profile also affects the price - standard white is the cheapest option. If you want more options, you can choose a colored profile or a profile with a wood grain.
Double-glazed windows
Another aspect that affects the price of uPVC windows is the glass unit. The cheapest option is a single-chamber double-glazed unit, while a double-chamber or double-chamber with energy saving will cost more. The space between the glasses can be filled with inert Argon gas, and a warm spacer frame is used for maximum energy saving. The glass of the double-glazed unit itself can be plain or with a certain spraying for energy efficiency, protection from noise or sunlight. There can also be safety glass with triplex, tempered glass, or a combination of both.
Fittings
Fittings also affect the price of windows. If ordinary hardware is the cheapest option, then reinforced, anti-burglary or hidden hardware will cost more. Our company uses high-quality German Winkhaus hardware, which provides reliable fixation of the sashes, comfortable opening and closing of windows, and protection against burglary (as an additional option). The price is also affected by the color of the hardware. Various color options are available. Customers can choose the color of the hardware that best matches the style of their house or apartment.
Dimensions and shape of the structure
The size and shape of the structure are other factors that affect the price of upvc windows for balconies and loggias. The larger the structure, the greater its weight and the size of the glass unit, which requires reinforced fittings and profiles, which in turn increases the cost of production. Thus, ordering a large structure with larger dimensions and double-glazed windows will cost more than the standard version.
The shape of the structure can also affect the cost of windows. Standard rectangular shapes are the cheapest option because they are easy to manufacture. But if the customer wants a more complex shape, such as triangular, arched, round, or trapezoidal, it will require additional work and materials, which will increase the cost of production and installation.
So, when choosing upvc windows for a balcony or loggia, it is important to consider all the factors that affect their cost and make a choice that will meet your needs and capabilities. DostawaOkien.pl offers a wide range of upvc windows of various shapes, sizes and configurations with REHAU profiles from basic to premium class to meet the needs of each client.
