Soft glazing has recently appeared on the construction market, and therefore this phrase can mislead inexperienced consumers. It consists of a transparent polyethylene film mounted in window openings using special fasteners.
Soft glazing is a good alternative to the standard if it is necessary to protect arbors, verandas, garden houses and other house constructions from wind, dust, rain and frost. Also, this type of glazing is often used in the process of repairing balconies and loggias. The temperature regime in which soft glazing can be used varies from -40 to +70 degrees.
A soft window consists of several required elements:
- Reinforced or unreinforced film;
- Edging;
- Fastenings;
- Fittings.
If you want to glaze a wide window opening, and the width of the film roll is not enough, it can be soldered by applying hot air. Adhesion is necessarily overlapped, which prevents accidental damage to the soft window under pressure, mechanical damage or strong gusts of wind.
Install soft windows
It is recommended to order turnkey installation from professionals who will perform all the work promptly and efficiently. However, if you have experience and skills, you can carry out the work yourself.
To install the structure, you need to use fasteners, the type of which depends on the material and the strength of the film. Most often, the mounting process uses swing brackets and sliding fittings.
Where you can not install soft windows
It is not recommended to use soft glazing in rooms with an open source of fire - a fireplace or barbecue. Exposure to an open flame can easily ignite a PVC film.
Also, soft glazing cannot be installed in rooms in which laboratory or other studies are carried out related to the use of toxic substances and aggressive chemical components.
Service life and care features
With proper care, soft glazing can last at least 5 years without losing its original characteristics. If the film will not be exposed to direct ultraviolet rays, its life may increase to 15-20 years.
Caring for such windows is easy. To do this, they should be regularly cleaned with a soft sponge dipped in warm soapy water. You can flush the foam solution with a hose, setting a small pressure of the fluid supply.
