Pros and cons of non -ramous glazing technology

Bezramic glazing - The latest technique of arranging space on the balcony, the main goal of which is to obtain an open, well -lit room, protected from weather influences. It is generally accepted to consider non -bramberry glazing with a Finnish invention, although the Finns admitted that they borrowed the equipment from their neighbors of the Germans.

The technology of brainless glazing involves the presence of an extensive transparent surface from a very strong tempered glass, the thickness of which is 6-8 mm. That is, in fact, this surface consists of several glasses connected to the joint without the use of frames and vertical supports. At the bottom and at the top of such parts of this surface there is an aluminum lining equipped with mobile rollers. They help the sample move along the guides, opening the entire balcony or part of it. To do this, it is enough to open the first glass inside, like a standard window, then the second sash moves to its place, turns and becomes next to the first. All the following component parts of this system of non -fire glazing are opened in the same way, gathering in a kind of “book”, as can be seen in the photo.

Manufacturers of non -ramous glazing systems

1. Finnish company Lumon Oy And her system Lumon. Since the release of the first Elegant model, the equipment and the appearance of the glass surface have undergone a lot of changes: the latches fixing the glass were hidden into the cavity of the lining, reduced the width of the upper profile, thereby increasing the light opening. An elegant fittings for glasses appeared. The videos now consist of ball bearings with a polyamide coating of increased strength. There was the possibility of rolling the wings through the corners, which is especially effective on the loggias of complex configurations. Lumon is characterized by a reckless Finnish Finnish glazing only the upper bearing profile with the lower profile as a guide. That is, the load on the balcony lattice is significantly reduced (only guide profiles are fixed on it).
2. A competitor of Finnish companies in the Russian market is a company STS And its products, the prices of which are higher than in the Finnish, approximately 1.5-2 times. In general, the designs of our and imported manufacturers are identical. The main difference is that in domestic systems, glass are attached to the upper and lower profiles. Each separate sash has 4 articulated axes from 3 horizontal rollers. The sash are locked using a rotary latch. You can make a special safe lock, convenient if there are children in the house. Domestic systems are widespread in the arrangement of not only balconies and loggias, but also during the construction of transparent walls in offices, shops and exhibition pavilions. For tightness at the joints of the glasses, transparent silicone seals are attached. The Finnish design looks a little more air and more elegant.
3. Particular attention is deserved by non -enormous glazing systems Cover firms "Coverglobal" Ltd, founded by Yarmo Schöholm in 1985 in Finland - this glazing system is very popular around the world.

All manufacturers provide a high -quality product from durable and durable materials. But, of course, to choose, taking into account individual preferences, the shape of the design and the location of the balcony.

Positive characteristics of the systemless glazing system

  Consider the “advantages” of non -ramous glazing systems, based on the analysis of the reviews of the holders of these miracle Lodge and the masters for their installation.

1. The release of the maximum possible light opening. This effect is achieved by the rejection of frames, connections and vertical membranes. Nothing prevents the light from penetrating the room. 
2. A transparent surface perfectly copies the design of the balcony, which looks much more aesthetically more aesthetically pleasing than with standard glazing. This form perfectly complements the decor of the facade composition.
3. A starless balcony perfectly protects against atmospheric precipitation.
4. In the rooms adjacent to the loggia, the noise background decreases, thermal insulation rises.
5. The strength characteristics of hardened glass are 5 times higher than the similar properties of the usual glass. Such a surface can withstand a stab with a stone or a hammer. Well, of course, no winds are afraid of her.
6. Even having broken, the glass will not be dangerous. It is completely scattered in small cubes, without forming sharp edges.
7. With closed windows, it is almost impossible to penetrate the balcony (warning of illegal invasion).
8. All component systems of non -ramous glazing are created from proven wear -resistant raw materials, which guarantees a long service life. Fasteners are made of stainless steel, castings are mainly from plastisol or polyester. During installation, polyurethane sealants that are resistant to direct sunlight are used.
9. Lack of vibration of glasses and extraneous noise.
10. The opening of all glasses is made into the balcony, which is greatly facilitated by care for them. 
11. Rollers-Petli are placed inside the profile and fenced from pollution.

Disadvantages of non -ramous glazing systems

But, not all owners of the newfangled transparent balcony fences (both Finnish and domestic) are absolutely satisfied. Customer reviews indicate that against the backdrop of indisputable “pluses” and “disadvantages” there are also. So, we analyze the most common reasons for the dissatisfaction of the owners of balconies arranged according to the technology of non -ramous glazing.

1. The balcony without a frame performs the function of the fence, without providing insulation of the internal space. It will be just a little warmer than outside. That is, it will turn out to enjoy a comfortable vacation on such a balcony only in good weather. And this is not always like our compatriots who manage to use every square centimeter of their apartment for economic purposes.
2. Absolute transparency. Everything that happens on your balcony can become the property of curious neighbors or just passers -by. This problem especially excites the inhabitants of the lower floors. If you are indifferent to the eyes of interest, you rarely be on the loggia, then the question is exhausted. But, in another case, you will have to take care of the curtains or blinds in advance. 
3. The inability to fix the mosquito net on such glasses. And in summer, the problem of insect attacks is very relevant.
4. The need to keep the glasses in perfect cleanliness. Obviously, a huge transparent surface should remain transparent all the time. Dust, stains and strokes will not give charm to the appearance of the expensive loggia.

   

5. Bezramic glazing does not guarantee complete tightness, joints can pass moisture. Such structures are also not suitable for people whose housing is located in noisy places, because in terms of soundproofing properties, the non -fire surfaces are three times inferior to standard metal -plastic bags.

Conclusions

• Bezramic glazing is aesthetic and fashionable, but not everyone likes it. A conservative buyer will prefer an old familiar double -glazed window.
• The system of beeard glazing was invented not for those who save every meter of living space, but for those who appreciate the scope and good lighting.
• Such a balcony performs a protective, but not heat and soundproofing function.
• You will often have to contact the cleaning company or wash the windows yourself (experts claim that this with this glazing system is simply for pleasure).
• The cost of non -ramous glazing is much higher than the usual double -glazed windows.

And you should not produce nasty glazing with your own hands, because The key to the perfect operation of the newfangled balcony is high -quality installation. Otherwise, the videos can begin to seize, the wings do not open, etc. Better trust specialists! When deciding which system to choose (Finnish or domestic), keep in mind that they are similar. Ours are more adapted to domestic realities (and more expensive). Finnish, maybe a little less practical, but more elegant. Just choose a company that has a license and providing a glazing warranty for at least 2 years, for installation-at least 1 year.
