Until recently, many people were sure that a country house can only be built from materials such as wood, brick or gas block. Such a structure is characterized by a high degree of energy efficiency and comfort. The only drawback is that there may be little light in them.
An excellent alternative to wooden and brick buildings are recently appeared glass houses. They are a frame structure in which most of the parts are glass.
The construction of such houses is especially popular in the USA and Europe. Before deciding to build a glass house in Russia, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with some important nuances.
Climatic conditions
Not in all regions of Russia it is possible to build a glass house in which the optimum temperature for a comfortable existence will be maintained. Despite the appearance of innovative double-glazed windows on the market, brick walls keep heat in the room much better and do not let cold pass into it. Therefore, it is better for residents of the northern regions to abandon such an undertaking or to purchase additional heating appliances in advance, and also to install a “warm floor” system.
Double-glazed window selection criteria
The second factor worth paying attention to is vandalism. Unfortunately, in Russia there are much more cases of illegal entry into residential buildings than in other European countries.
For this reason, the owners of a glass house must prudently take care of their safety and the safety of their property.
For glazing the walls of the house, it is recommended to choose double-glazed windows of increased strength. Their main element should be heavy-duty tempered glass, which cannot be broken without noise. To damage such a glass requires spending maximum effort and a large amount of time.
The best option is to choose triplex. This glass, consisting of several organic or silicate glasses glued together. Even with accidental damage, it does not scatter into small pieces, and therefore does not become a danger to residents of the house. In particular, this plays a role if small children live in the house.
Particular attention should be paid to the fact that double-glazed windows are recommended to be tinted, which will ensure maximum privacy for residents and their comfort.
