Balcony glazing

BALCONY GLAZING

Balcony glazing using PVC window constructions is a very popular option of reorganizing your balcony space in an old apartment building. This type of glazing could be referred to as ‘warm glazing’ as it enables to significantly reduce temperature fluctuations in the balcony.

Quality PVC balcony glazing structures are valued for excellent thermal and sound insulation qualities, flawless aesthetics, and reliable protection. Longer and more complex balconies are joined using special fittings, while corner balconies can be glazed using standard 90-degree fittings with reinforced galvanized steel, making it as strong as PVC windows.

High-quality profile systems, suitable and quality glazing units, sturdy and safe opening systems, latest installation materials and modern solutions ensure excellent quality and longevity of the structures installed.

Pietų Megrame balcony glazing solutions are based on high-quality GEALAN S 8000 6-chamber profile systems. The structures made of these profiles, fitted with proper glazing units have excellent insulation qualities and static indices, keeping the street noise out and your home warm for many years. Balcony glazing structures come in a wide range of colors, they are easy and convenient to clean and maintain.

 

GLAZING UNITS

Glass takes up the largest area of any window structure, thus playing a crucial role in important technical parameters of the entire window: heat and sound insulation, protection from wind and rain. It is also the part of the window, which provides your home with sunlight. Therefore, picking a suitable glazing unit is very important in each case.

Glazing units differ in the number of glass sheets and the type of glass used. Glass panes in 2-4 pane units are separated by aluminium or plastic spacer bars, while the space between the glass panes can be filled with noble gas thus improving thermal insulation indices of the window up to several times.

The characteristics of the glazing unit also depend on the gaps between the glass panes, and the type of glass used. Double pane glazing unit with selective glass (coated in a very thin layer of metal or metal oxides) is great for apartment building windows, as premises in apartment buildings are consistently heated. Private homes make a better use of triple pane glazing units. If your private house or apartment building is located on a busy city street, we recommend glazing units with sound insulation. The sound insulation qualities depend on the thickness of the glass, the gap between the glass panes, and the type of glass used. The thickness of glass panes in a sound-insulating glazing unit should be 16-20 mm with a 16-20 mm distance between the panes. Also, at least one of the panes should be coated with a sound-insulating film.

Pietų Megrame uses the following glazing units:

• – standard;
• – thermal-insulating;
• – with sun control coating;
• – increased safety;
• – decorative and structural glazing units.

Consult with Pietų Megrame experts to pick the best option for your home.

 

COLOR FRAMES

Examples of windows used as the means of aesthetic expression can be found in nearly all buildings. They give character and complement or become the distinctive details of the building’s architectural style. Architectural style is complemented not only by the shape, division, and décor of the doors and windows, but also their color.

Color door and window frames make the building unique. The color can visually increase or decrease the window in the general context of the façade. For example, dark colors make the windows look bigger, as it is closest to the color of the glass during the day time. White or light grey frames highlight the window making it look smaller due to the contrast between the frame and the glass. Dark window frames are currently very popular and they certainly look luxurious, but customers fear the color may eventually fade. Profiles, used for door and window frames, manufactured by Pietų Megrame, can be not only white, but also colorful, coated with GEALAN-acrylcolor® acrylic, and laminated with decorative films, featuring all kinds of multi-color patterns.

COLOR GEALAN-acrylcolor® door and window frames

Dark window frames are currently very popular and they certainly look luxurious, but customers fear the color may eventually fade. Pietų Megrame offers color windows, manufactured of unique color GEALAN-acrylcolor® profiles. Their color is obtained during a thermal process, when the base of the profile is homogeneously fused with melted color acrylic. This means that the plastic is not simply painted – the color is obtained by casting color acrylic on the profile. Compared to the usual painted profiles, these door and window frames show more resistance, durability and maintain their novel appearance for years without peeling off, flaking or fading.

The 0.5 mm surface layer of the color GEALAN-acrylcolor® PVC window frames are more durable and show better resistance to heat or changing weather conditions – the color stays unchanged for many years even under constant direct sunlight. Acrylic surface is very smooth, preventing accumulation of dust and other dirt. Window frames coated with color acrylic are easy to clean, always look like new, their surface doesn’t flake, peel, or scratch, and any transportation, installation or finishing accidents can be easily polished.

This PVC frame coating method has been used for more than 40 years has really proven its exceptional properties in practice. You can enjoy the deep and bright GEALAN-acrylcolor® colors for decades, as they practically don’t fade. The color windows of Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos, installed more than 20 years ago, make a perfect example.
