Nikolai Ovchinnikov few years ago there was a very real "window Revolution": profiles and accessories have become such that their predecessors - frames, latches and hinges to even superficially could not be compared. They - a product of a completely different technological era, as we have tried to tell in the previous issue. It would be naive to believe that at all constructive innovations of the main element of the window glass has remained the same: a fragile, cracked, not completely protect against the cold, solar radiation and the robbers, who decided to enter the country house. Naturally, here too there have been dramatic changes. That is the window glass, which flew up into small pieces, barely got him the ball thrown by a weak child's hand, Discarded and attain the age at the dump with the rest of the entourage of Soviet life. His place was taken as a strong transparent and tinted windows. And its the right choice depends very much on your house. "Silver" Which box is worth a major problem for the country estates of the North-West region of Russia, where not so warm as in the Crimea, and not as rosy as in the Caucasus? That's right - energy conservation. And the biggest heat loss during the cold season are found mainly in the window through which "disappears" nearly half of all heat, ensuring that the individual boiler or boiler room of the village. To seal the windows with paper, lay the frame with cotton ... Leave this tedious task for those who are hopelessly stuck on the side of progress! Solving the problems of energy saving, you should think about how to use the window to maintain the necessary heat balance in a country house: to prevent loss of heat in the room in the cold and excessive heat in the heat. To reduce heat loss can set a special energy-saving glass, manufactured to the surface of sputtered silver atoms. As a result of changing the thermophysical properties of glass, and it takes the ability to hold heat in the room is much better than ordinary glass. Thus, a single-chamber windows with energy-saving glass, according to the results of tests, keeps the room warm for 30% more than a window with triple-pane windows of ordinary glass. And thus cheaper. Among other things, single-chamber windows easier two-chamber, thus decreasing the load on the screws and hinges, which in turn increases the durability and integrity of all window construction. However, windows with energy-saving glass, unable to prevent overheating of the rooms in the summer heat. Hence, saving on winter heating, summer will have a lot to spend on air conditioning and ventilation? No way! In a sealed unit you can use the energy saving and solar control glass, which reflects the portion of solar energy. Each of these glasses will work at certain times of the year, solving the problem of energy conservation and svetokontrolya in the complex and allowing the energy balance of the room, even when large areas of glazing. Heat balance of the handle, but that's because no luck! - The house is located near the busy highway, and continually hear the noise of engines, screeching brakes, and the rumble of heavy equipment ... What should I do? The answer is simple: to improve the sound insulation properties of glass! Use in its design of glass of different thickness prevents the effect of resonance transfer from one glass to another vibration caused by external noise. So, when replacing a standard triple-pane windows with three panes 4 mm thick on single-chamber windows with two panes - chetyrehmillimetrovym with energy-saving coating and shestimillimetrovym - can reduce the impact of external noise by 3-5 decibels, which would reduce the perceived level of noise the human ear by 50%. And it is - not the limit. When the bullets bounce off, like peas from a wall of main negative feature of glass - its fragility. Therefore, the windows - the most vulnerable place in the house, which is well aware of the criminals. If the window design is not equipped with a protection mechanism, as glass does not shock, then opening the window for an experienced hacker - the case for 15 seconds. On the contrary, an attempt to get into the house via a secure window requires significant effort, and does not pass quietly. Robber gets nervous, panic, fearing to attract attention, his "Tommy" every now and then unsuccessfully koryabaet profile and glass cutter, made criminal by special craftsmen, only scratches the glass, not even leaving a trace ... As a result, in most cases an attacker can not brings the matter to an end - runs before he was caught. But even if the house is located in the cottage with a reliable protection, you still can not forget that the "attacker" could become a hurricane, strong winds during a thunderstorm and similar natural disasters - the glass will crack, break, and the room will cover an avalanche of sharp pieces ... But let's not on the worst. Let's think about how you can provide reliable, safe glazing. To this end, suitable types of special glasses with impact resistant properties. For example - tempered glass with a special heat treatment, which increases its strength by 4-5 times compared to normal. When broken (if it still happens), tempered glass forms small prismatic fragments, having no sharp edges. You can use the wired glass, manufactured in the thickness of glass sheet "fused" does not deteriorate the transparency of thin reinforcing mesh. If the glass breaks, shards do not fall to the floor, shattered glass painting continues in the sealed unit from the grid. The most durable glass - triplex. This kind of "sandwich" consisting of two or more sheets of ordinary window glass, fastened together with a special film or resin. This glass has higher strength, and sealed with its layers of film does not allow him to crumble to pieces at failure. However, increasing the number of layers of glass can be achieved, that the destruction would be simply impossible! For example, the design of four glass of 4 mm each to protect from a bullet fired from a pistol TT, 36 mm triplex is not terrible turn of the Kalashnikov assault rifle, and the glass thickness of 44 mm easily reflect a sniper bullet. Antigranatometnyh glasses, though not yet invented, but they need a special no. In addition, double glazed windows with safety glass significantly improve noise isolation and provide an effective energy saving - that is, their role in a country house is truly universal. Installing impact-resistant glass, it must be remembered that to protect their homes from intruders, they will only if the windows and fittings to be anti-burglary, equipped with special locking elements of especially hard steel. Otherwise, the offender failing to break the glass, just put up the frame. But whether in the event of a fire escape from the house with anti-burglary protection on the windows? Of course, it's outside the system is almost impossible to open from the inside as she unlocked easily. Thus, today, using different kinds of glasses, you can create a lot of modifications glass, corresponding to a variety of operating conditions - all depends on what level of security and some degree of comfort to the owner need a country house. Glass under the film is fair to note that there is another way to "dignify" glazed with ordinary glass - not to change it, just stick a special polymer film, which will ensure the glass is almost all of the same properties, which are described above. If the business will undertake a specialist, the film with a thickness from 112 to 380 microns, forms a glass together and it will be quite noticeable. What are the advantages of such a coating of glass? First, the film can be pasted on the already delivered the window, without removing and replacing glass. Secondly, made from the room, film coating will keep all the broken glass from falling into the load from the outside. Thirdly, the film almost does not increase the weight of the glass, which does not increase the weight of the design window, and therefore increases the life of fittings and hinges. True, the film coating is not as durable as glass having similar properties, it is his minus.Kakie film can be found on sale? First of all, eye-catching appeal of its decorative film applied on them graphic drawings. The choice is huge. Pasted on a regular glass-picture film - and stained glass ready. There are special colored film with varying degrees of light transmission: white matte, opaque black, opaque white, red, blue, green ... One of the most popular today of a special film - matt. Due to the texture coating mat films retain a high opacity, but it almost completely eliminates the "visibility of". The combination of matte white film with a variety of sunscreen film allows you to achieve any shade required for the interior. Protective (or book a) of the film, as the name implies, serve as a reinforcing material, increasing the impact resistance of glass. They are distinguished by high performance thanks to the unique adhesives adhesive used in their installation, and a special coating against scratching. Especially popular in recent years used sunscreen with a metal film deposition. Their ability to reflect infrared (heat) rays avoids overheating the room during the hot and reduces heat loss in winter by 20-40%. In addition, fire-resistant sun protection film. Even if the film start to melt from the fire, they do not emit acrid smoke. Pasted on the inside of the glass (window), due to its high heat resistance film delayed fracture of glass from the flame in the fire, and thereby postpone the time of thermal explosion. But if you need to evacuate through the window, it can be easily broken from the inside. Due to the fact that some types of deposition on the sun with a mirror film properties, we can get the effect of unilateral viewable when inside the house can see everything that is happening outside, but from the street can not see what's going on in the house - only one mirror. But this is only provided if the light level inside the building will be approximately equal to or exceed the level of light outside. And yet, stick on window film sun-spray metal, you can protect yourself from radioproslushivaniya because it significantly weakens the microwave radiation. "Bugs" and other similar "special channels of information leakage" through the radio waves are no longer afraid. These are the thinnest possible, invisible eye of the film that can do amazing metamorphosis from the most ordinary window glass.
