What are the features of such structures, cost and interior decor options?
Endless room space
Modern technologies allow you to plan buildings in the most different ways. One of the new and fashionable solutions is glazing a large area from floor to ceiling in many rooms.

Such designs have their pros and cons. The first include:
- uniqueness of external and internal appearance;
- expansion of space, even small room with such a design it will seem much larger;
- improving the quality of lighting, daylight better for vision;
- the most diverse different variants decor.

Despite the shortcomings, houses with panoramic windows, photographs of which are often posted on the global network for pride in the property, are in great demand.
House with panoramic windows: photos of glazing options and technical requirements for structures
Very strict requirements are applied to such structures, since they must meet all safety standards, retain heat and have an attractive appearance.
You can’t do without a strong frame, of which there are several options:
- PVC is a relatively cheap option, but there are size restrictions;
- wood (laminated veneer lumber);
- aluminum is the most reliable and durable.
Depending on the design, different installation options are used:
- A window-door system, when the glazing is enclosed in frames, that is, these are large windows with ceilings.
- Structural. There is no frame outside. What remains is the internal lathing (post-transom), while the glass is attached with a special glue, and the joints are filled with sealant.
Both options are used for monolithic, sliding and combined designs. The first option is cheaper in cost, but there is no possibility of ventilation during the hot period.
There are also high requirements for glass that must be met:
- The thickness of the product is at least 6 mm, it is advisable to install shockproof, mutil format or low-emission.
- The air gap is at least 12 mm.
- Stained glass class M1, that is, the most transparent.
Responsible developers will write down all the data in the house or glazing project, so you can compare their data with the necessary parameters.

Project plans for one-story houses with large windows: nuances
When deciding to buy standard or order custom designs of cottages with panoramic glazing, it is important to consider the following features:
- Since glass is characterized by high thermal conductivity due to the thermal properties of the material and its small thickness, when choosing projects with large panoramic windows, it is important to take into account such a factor as the location of the panoramic glazing in relation to the cardinal points. For creating better conditions comfort panoramic windows are recommended to be installed from the south-west or south side. Due to this arrangement of windows, the entry of sunlight into the premises will be increased.

Plans for one-story houses with large windows: taking into account the climate zone
It is important to understand that projects residential buildings with panoramic glazing, designed for one climate zone, are not suitable for turnkey implementation in another climatic region. Only a competently performed thermotechnical 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 indoors even in the coldest winter.It is also important to pay attention to the material of manufacture. window designs.

When choosing a house project with panoramic windows, the customer must be prepared for the fact that its price will be higher than for a regular cottage of the same area. This is due to the use of complex technical designs, the need to provide additional systems heating and energy saving.
Features of facades with a large glazing area
All projects of houses with panoramic glazing for the construction of a modern beautiful cottage, differ in complexity. They are designed by professional architects high level taking into account the numerous nuances inherent in this fragile material.
When choosing glazed facade, great importance has the correct “landing” of the house - its connection to the cardinal points. This largely depends on the surrounding landscape that the future owners want to admire. And yet, walls facing south, southeast, southwest are often made transparent. This improves insolation and heating of rooms.
The quality of materials depends on the climate zone. The design must provide the required level of heat transfer and sound insulation, for which technical calculations are carried out. Selected accordingly optimal parameters thickness of double-glazed windows (number of chambers), profiles (aluminum, plastic, wood), energy-saving glass.
To ensure security, there must be reliable locks that can be locked with a key, a burglary protection system from the outside, and security measures from the inside - some systems with very heavy doors can be opened even by a child.
To ensure that the glazed structure is reliable, additional reinforcement is provided when installing the walls. metal frame. The internal “filling” is then hidden under decorative overlays, or serves as a decorative element - especially in high-tech style.
An important role is played by opening and closing systems, which is determined by the purpose of the room (bedroom, living room, veranda, winter garden).

Advantages and disadvantages of huge windows
Before discussing the pros and cons of panoramic glazing, you should pay attention to two important aspects:
- Panoramic windows were invented in French Provence, where winter temperatures do not drop below seven degrees Celsius.
- High-quality execution of panoramic glazing is only possible if it was provided for at the design stage of the house. Attempts to make changes to existing walls for the purpose of installing such structures can lead not only to the loss of the external appearance of the building, but also to its partial or complete destruction.
Now let’s break down, as they say, the advantages and disadvantages of large windows.
| pros | Minuses |
| An unparalleled view, especially if there is something to look at. If you have a garden or a pond, if the house is located on a hill with an excellent view, these windows are simply a treat for the eyes. | Even with the installation of the most modern warm double-glazed windows energy losses will be greater than with regular size windows Houses with such glazing require on average thirty percent more heating costs. |
| Panoramic glazing allows the room to be well illuminated with natural light until sunset. | Placing glass directly above the floor can be an additional source of danger for small children. An awkward movement, a successful goal with a ball, or simply the fall of an object can lead to serious injuries. Prudent owners install special fences in front of such windows. |
| Houses with such windows have a beautiful facade | To admire beautiful view, the glass needs to be clean. Washing panoramic windows will require additional effort and expense. |
| Realtors say that with panoramic windows or a bay window you can sell a house for much more than a cottage with conventional windows. | Huge glass makes the house look like. Not only curious neighbors, but also intruders can admire its inhabitants. They can use glass wall for penetration. |
| Any damage to a panoramic window entails significant costs. Replacing such glass will not be easy; you will have to hire professionals. |
The pros and cons of large windows are a reason to think twice before making a decision. It is much easier to refuse a panoramic view if there is nothing special to admire - if, for example, only the dull wall of a neighboring house or a dusty road is visible opposite.
Bay window as a facade decoration
Without a doubt, a bay window, one of the types of panoramic glazing, is a decoration of the façade of a cottage. Due to this protrusion, you can significantly increase the area of the living room, kitchen or. In that cozy corner It’s nice to sit at home with a book or receive guests.
Types of bay windows:
It has frame glazing, in which there are opening sashes in the side frames. Typically the frames are placed at angles of thirty degrees relative to each other and the wall.
This is not a standard projection; the windows in it are located at right angles. This area is ideal for relaxation.
In such structures, in addition to frames, a flexible profile is used, additional connecting elements. The higher the glass in such a bay window, the more attractive it looks in the facade 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 part of the building.

What is important to know about panoramic glazing
In order for glazing to be reliable and beautiful, you need to approach the selection of materials with all responsibility.
Important! Impressive area glass surface will place a greater load on the frame. Part of this weight is the profile. You need to select a material that is not too heavy, but durable.
Glass
Selection of double-glazed windows – important aspect. For large surfaces you need to choose special glass:
- hardened - has a strength five times greater than normal;
- laminated (triplex) - consists of several plates held together with a special film, this structure gives the material special strength;
- covered with a special film – the reinforcing film strengthens the surface and additionally protects from bright ultraviolet radiation;
- tinted and reflective – used for sunny side building;
- energy-saving - the material of double-glazed windows is coated on the inside with silver or tin oxide for better preservation heat.
Advice! Washing panoramic windows is not a simple procedure that requires patience and consistency. Special magnetic brushes have appeared on sale that allow you to wash the outside of a window without leaving the room.
Frames
Glazing frames can be vinyl - this material is very easy to care for and retains its color for a long time. Vinyl does not dry out, crack, or be damaged by fungus.
PVC profiles are not very suitable for glass panoramas. PVC tends to deform when the temperature changes and, if this is little noticeable on small areas, on huge windows such deformation can lead to very unpleasant consequences.
Wooden frames are traditional and environmentally friendly. But when choosing this option, you should remember that such frames will require constant supervision and care.
Aluminum profile- almost eternal material. To improve its thermal insulation qualities, such profiles are equipped with polyamide “insides”.
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 may become opaque if the sun is too bright. The glass coating has water- and dirt-repellent properties. 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 estimated at a six-figure sum.
Installation tricks
The main thing in installation panoramic designs– ensure their complete safety. When glazing a balcony or loggia in an apartment, as a rule, blank frames are placed on the sides, and two swing-out doors are made in the center for ventilation. In a bay window, on the contrary, the side parts are made to open.
Canopies are placed on top of such structures to protect from rain. Bottom - . An internal fence is installed if there are children in the house or if the owners are simply not confident in their agility. Fences are usually made of stainless steel. Less often - from forged metal. I must admit that the latter look very beautiful.
On verandas and terraces, glazing can be with an accordion mechanism. In this case, glass without frames is connected by a special mechanism that allows the structure to be assembled and disassembled as needed.
Heating
Heat loss due to the large area can be reduced by using special heating systems. Since a regular one cannot be installed under a window sill, a low one is used for a panoramic window. Its height is only twenty to thirty centimeters. If you cannot use it, you can purchase thermal curtain, this is very effective remedy to maintain a stable room temperature. The curtain can be installed on top of the window or built into the floor below it. Convectors in the floor should be located at a distance of thirty centimeters from window opening, to warm air didn't get confused in . In addition to those listed, the task with a panoramic view can be performed by:
- heated floors (electric or water;
- heating baseboards;
- fireplaces (real or electric).
Architects' fantasies: designs of houses with panoramic windows and a terrace
The use of new technologies in construction allows designers to approach the design of panoramic windows or glazed terraces more and more boldly.
Here are a few example projects:
Panoramic windows in a private house: photo, price
The cost of panoramic windows depends not only on their area. This is just one of many factors. In addition to size, the price is affected by:
- additional structural elements (window sills, ebbs, mesh,);
- accessories (handles, mechanisms);
- work of craftsmen (installation of new windows and dismantling of old ones, finishing and thermal insulation);
- transportation cost.
The main expense item is the profile. Good profile can't 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.
It's better to choose triple glazing, it will provide reliable thermal insulation. A solid frame will cost the least.
This is how the cost of panoramic windows works out.
