Terrace door requirements
- Since the doors to the terrace are installed at the entrance to the house, their main task is to ensure the safety of people living in it. Today there is a lot of technologies that even make a glass door with reliable locks.
- The doors to the terrace should maintain heat, so one of the important criteria when choosing is thermal insulation properties. This is important especially in conditions of harsh climate. Therefore, sometimes panoramic doors are used as an internal structure.
- Lighting at home. The terrace doors should not bring an additional shadow to the house, especially since in this place the owners often put indoor plants, which also need a large number of sunlight.
Best of all, these three requirements are combined in such types of doors leading to the terrace:
- Steel - is a standard door to the terrace, the price of which is higher than that of the one that is installed in the apartment, since it has a rather massive profile.
- Plastic - it is also called balcony, it has a window profile, accessories, loops, etc.
If you want to save, then for the terrace choose a balcony door opening inward. But the best option is the front door, which has its own loops, double -glazed windows and multi -storey. Such a door can be calmly closed in the cold season, and in the summer to keep it open or by ventilation, it retains heat well and closes hermetically.
Same -sex doors to the terrace
These are the most common doors to the terrace. They can open as a single-winged window or be rotary-oxide. The maximum dimensions of the door leaf 240x160 cm. For the terrace, reinforcement on the door is installed, which has increased resistance to hacking.
Additional reinforcement for a single -pouring door on the terrace:
- a latch with a special pen, which is located outside the door;
- door opening limiter;
- blocking the opening holding the sash in an inclined position, so the door will not be slammed by chance;
- the mechanism that regulates the inclination allows you to adjust the door in one of the seven positions.
Absolutely all doors to the terrace should be equipped with constipation, which blocks the incorrect position of the handle. In this case, with an open door, it will not be possible to shift the shut -off trunks with a door handle. Then, with a draft or in other cases, when an uncontrolled closure of the door occurs, the door box is not damaged by the tag.
Double -floor doors to the terrace
In bicopolonal doors, the door leaf is separated by horizontal using a structural element. It is located at the level of the window frame, this is approximately at an altitude of 80 cm. As a result of this separation, the glazing of the canvas consists of two independent parts.
Such a horizontal element is needed for doors that have a height of more than 2.20 m with a white profile, and with color - for door leafs over 2, 10 m high. This is due to the fact that the plastic doors to the terrace under the influence of hot air expand much more than similar wood structures. Especially if the plastic is dark. With rapid heating and expanding profiles, the door is deformed, so the design must be strengthened. This is especially true for the bicapolonal gibberish door. If there is no horizontal average element, then with deformations in the places of connection of the elements, the door leaf will drop and will be rubbed against the door box. As a result of the voltage arising in the glass, a crack may appear.
Sliding doors to the terrace
Similar designs in recent years have become more and more popular. Especially their advantages were to the taste of the owners of terraces with a large glazed opening. The large area of \u200b\u200bglass sliding doors for the terrace will not interfere with the design, on the contrary, they will become the highlight of the room. When the door is opened, the canvas rises slightly up and smoothly drives to the side. In this case, only one canvas moves, the second is fixed motionless. Even with a large weight of 300 kg of the door leaf, the entire structure moves easily.
With the help of sliding doors, you can glaze the entire wall of the terrace, or you can conditionally divide it into four parts, to make two at the edges deaf, and in the center - sliding. The maximum dimensions of the sliding door to the terrace are 3.23 x 2.67 m. Limiters are installed on the edge of the blank paintings, they block the slope of the sliding part against the door box. Also, elements against hacking are installed in the design - these are pins that cannot be removed, and roller mushroom -shaped trunks. Examples of sliding doors to the terrace can be viewed in the photo.
Folding doors to the terrace
Such doors are universal and include the advantages of many types of terrace doors. The folding door can be placed over the entire width of the wall. The guide along which the canvases move can reach six meters in length. The width of each moving sash can reach a meter, so after the door is completely open, it will not take up much space in the opening. The door develops like an accordion. Door features:
- the canvases consist of several wings, usually five of them;
- the height of the door is as much as possible 2.40 m;
- at the end of the last wings, a rotary-oxide frame is installed, which opens in the opposite direction. Thus, you can easily ventilate the room and at the same time not to shift the canvases with an accordion. Such a frame is usually installed on a classic balcony door.
Sloping-extensor doors to the terrace
These glass doors to the terrace in their structure are similar to sliding, but they have an additional function: each canvas opens separately. Design features:
- one canvas of the door is sliding and inclined, the second - can be opened inside the room, like an ordinary single -floor door;
- a canvas, which is mobile, can either be moved to the side, or put in a folding position;
- the second sash must be constantly kept closed if the first is open;
- such a door has a smaller area of \u200b\u200bglazed areas;
- the maximum size of the canvas is 2 x 2.40 m, and the weight is 180 kg.
No matter how you make out the exit to the terrace, the door should correspond to the general style of the house, look harmonious and be reliable.
