Mansard is an attic room, equipped under the residential room. The whole process of its construction and arrangement is rich in weighing the subtleties and nuances, and how to choose the right side of the attic windows - a rather complicated and extensive topic. It should be understood thoroughly, because the requirements for such windows are much more stricter than to normal.

Size of the mansard window

Mansard windows are in the roof roof. According to the standard construction rules, the ratio of the area of \u200b\u200bthe attic window to the floor area should be 1:10, and the ratio of the vertical window to the floor - 1: 8.

The height (length) of the window largely depends on the slope of the roof than it is less - the longer there should be a window.

At the stage of building a house, you must decide which attic windows to choose which they will be the size where they will be. These details must be taken into account in the roof layout and the whole house.

Dersighted window location

According to SNiP 2.08.01-89 (standard standards and rules of construction) The lower edge of the attic window should be located at least 90-120 cm from the floor, the upper - 200-220 cm. This indicator may vary depending on the purpose of the room.

For the bedroom and the living room there is options for installing the window closer to the eaves or a combined mansard window that translates into the vertical (cornice window).

Options for opening mansard windows

Everyone who wondered how to choose the mansard windows? "Should think about how future the future will be opened. There are four types of opening the attic window, each of them is distinguished by the location of the stationary axis, around which the sash is moving. The axis may be at the top, in the center or side of the sash.

Opening along the top axis

This method helps to effectively use the space around the window. In addition, it significantly facilitates the process of venting. Such sash can only be installed on the windows that are near the floor, otherwise they will be difficult to open.

For opening over the top axis, additional locks are needed along the edges of the sash.

Balcony window

With this opening, the sash is divided horizontally into two parts. The upper part simply opens out, as in the case of opening along the top axis. The second sash is unfolded into a simple design consisting of the sash itself and additional railings. In the open state, such a sash resembles a small balcony.

Opening by side axis

In this case, the windows loop are located on the side of the profile, the sash itself opens out. To facilitate the opening and holding of the sash, the rotary mechanism is used.

This method of opening is inconvenient and used extremely rarely.

Opening window on the central axis

This method is the most popular. It provides the maximum stability of the sash, does not require additional fasteners and allows you to open a leaf of 180 degrees.

The handle can be installed both at the top and bottom of the sash.

Profile of a mansard window

The profile for the attic window must be the most stable and easy. For these purposes, metal plastic is most often used. The reinforcement of such a profile should have a closed square form, which will betray it additional stability and will not greatly affect weight. The average thickness of the reinforcing insert for the attic window is 2-2.5 mm. The thickness of the profile itself is not less than 70 mm.

A profile of glued timber can also be used. It represents several dried and thoroughly processed boards glued together with a special composition. Such a bar is much stronger than usual. It is resistant to temperatures, moisture and fires. The bar is thoroughly soaked with resins and lacquered, to avoid rotting and dampness. The thickness of the bar must be no more than 50-60 mm, otherwise the profile will be too heavy.

Quite often, wooden attic windows are protected by special metal inserts from the street with a thickness of 1-2 mm. They betray the designs even greater resistance to external factors.

Double-glazed glass window

In the question how to choose the right downtown windows, special attention is paid to the glass pack. It should be light, and glass is durable.

Standard double-glazed windows - single-chamber, consists of two tempered glasses and cameras with argon. The use of multi-chamber double-glazed windows is not allowed.

The tempered glass is manufactured at a temperature of over 600 degrees. Such a glass is able to withstand a stone blow, so that the branches of trees or hail is not terrible. Even if the glass breaks down, it will fall apart to the corpus fragments of the rounded shape, which do not have sharp faces. An alternative to the tempered glass can be glass-triplex, it consists of several glasses bonded by a protective film.

Argon is an inert gas with a high degree of thermal protection (34% more than normal air). It is harmless to humans, there is no smell and colors.

Argon can be replaced with a more expensive and efficient crypton, the heat shield of which is 63% better than the same properties of air.

Additionally, you can toned your window. The tinted glass dispels the sun's rays, why even in the sunny weather in your home will be a soft daylight. This glass is made using a special film that is fastened throughout the glass area. The color of the film depends only on your preferences.

Fittings and Additional Details of the Atorass Window

All the handles and loops of the attic window must be made of high-quality materials, external parts are necessarily protected from corrosion.

For mansard windows, in addition to the handles and loops, clamps and roller blinds are necessarily used.

Fixators

There are fixators of two types: for the open and semi-open position of the sash.

Locks for the open position of the sash are set near the loops, they hold the sash at a certain angle and simplify the opening.

Locks for the semidisciplinary position of the sash are used to facilitate ventilation. A comb or restrictive swivel mechanisms can be used as such locks.

Roller shutters

Due to the tilt of the attic windows, it is impossible to establish ordinary blinds or curtains, therefore roller shutters (type of rolled blinds of special strength), which are installed on the outside of the window.

Such "Curtains" will protect your windows from any mechanical effects and completely block the sunlight, if necessary. Most often, remote control is used to open and closing such a mechanism.

This technique helps to rationally use the space area, giving the room a unique appearance and originality. But that the equipped room directly under the roof is really comfortable and cozy, it is necessary to properly approach the glazing process. How to choose mansard windows, you will learn from this article.

Children's selection criteria

In order for the purchase process did not take much time and did not require significant irrational financial expenses, familiarize yourself with the criteria for the selection of structures and determine their requirements for each parameter.

Hold your attention to the following details:

• number of windows;
• window parameters (length and width);
• design style;
• profile quality;
• type of glass package;
• the number of additional accessories;
• manufacturer.
  

  Important! Depending on the complex of technical specifications, naturally, the functionality and the price of attic windows will be different. Therefore, it is very important to correctly relate all the conditions in both directions. For example, an excellent decision will be the purchase of attic windows to the faughter for arranging any building.

How much to choose windows?

The first thing to do is to decide on the features of the placement of windows and their number. Some tips will help you with this:

1. The area is decorated. There is a major rule: the area of \u200b\u200bthe Glazing of the attic should be at least 10% of the total area of \u200b\u200bthe illuminated room. For example, 5 m2 glazed at 50 m2 of the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. The most acceptable proportion is 1: 8.
   

   Important! For each room should have at least one mansard window. For children, studios, cabinet or living room, lesside light more by 15-20%.

2. Location of mansard windows. This factor depends on your imagination, but experts recommend to have several separate windows at a certain distance from each other, giving more light than one large.
   

   Important! To provide a sufficient level of lighting, give preference to long windows in the case of a small roof slope. Another recommendation: In the case of glazing area more than 1 m2, set 2 windows, and if the area is over 2 m2 - then 3 windows.

3. If your designer idea assumes the placement of windows only on the one hand, then install them above the middle floor line. If on both sides of the attic, then cast them from above and in the middle for optimal dispersion of light.
   

   Important! In addition to conventional structures, think over the option of installing small deaf attic windows, possibly a non-standard triangular or round form. In this case, it is successfully achieved to achieve the most appropriate lighting and at the same time reduce the cost of heating the room under the roof in the cold season. Plus, it is impossible not to add the originality of the view of the house from the facade.

How to choose window size?

The next step in the process of solving the problem, which attic windows, select, the definition of suitable length parameters and widths, based on the room data. The main rules are as follows:

1. Good viewing angle. That is, in the sitting position or standing, the view from the attic window should cover, both the earth and the sky. Based on this, the smaller the inclination of the roof, the greater the height (length) of the window.
   

   Important! Standard rules suggest the following principle of the structure of the structure: the lower edge at a height of at least 90 cm from the floor, indent the top panel from the floor within 180-220 cm.

2. Selection of windows in width. This indicator is directly related to the rafted step. The recommended width of the window box should be less than 4-6 cm than this distance.
   

   Important! If this indicator differs from the recommended, perform the cutting line, but in such a way that their carrying ability is not lost.

3. Convenient opening. In this regard, the place of installation of the handle plays an important role. The optimal accommodation option is from above, at a distance from the floor of 1.8-2m to the top point of the structure. Models of windows with opening handle are installed at a distance of 1.1-1,4m from the floor to the bottom point of the window.

What to choose a profile material?

Requirements for materials from which the attic window is made are high enough due to increased humidity levels in such premises. The leading manufacturers engaged in the manufacture of mansard windows offer structures made of two types of material:

1. Plastic. This until recently the novelty today is used everywhere when glazing. Plastic mansard windows are beneficial to excellent technical characteristics, including resistance to humidity, ultraviolet and cold. In addition, they do not bring inconvenience in the process of leaving the surface, as they wash them very easily with any means. Provides popularity and a very long period of operation - many brands have a guarantee up to 50 years, which indicates their incredible strength.
   

   Important! Install plastic windows rationally in the event that the glazing is carried out in the bathroom, bathroom or kitchen room.

2. Wood. Mansard windows are most often made of pine and coated with several layers of varnish. Such designs are more familiar to use and allow the most organically to combine the interior design and exterior. In addition to their attractiveness, they contribute a unique feeling of comfort and provide an excellent level of heat power. Additionally, we note that modern wooden windows, due to the high-quality pretreatment of raw materials, are not deformed and not rotated, and accordingly, the period of their use is also quite long.
   

   Important! An excellent solution will be the installation of wooden windows in rooms intended for relaxation, such as bedrooms, children's, living room or even a cabinet. Natural healing properties of wood will contribute to regular natural recovery.

What to choose a glass?

All current manufacturers of high-quality attic windows as a basic option offer models of single-chamber windows with tempered glass, filled with argon. In addition, solutions are also available with increased characteristics of strength or energy saving, reflecting the coatings on the glass canvas.

Important! As a rule, all modified models are more expensive, so when buying mansard windows, as accurately define your requirements in order not to overpay for unnecessary functions.

Among the popular series of non-standard structures are allocated as follows:

• windows with good thermal conductivity due to the use of another gas aggregate;
• designs with an increased safety rate due to the presence of an internal glass-resistant, resistant to any mechanical exposure;
• products with a wider profile, which is well affected by heat-saving functions;
• anti-vandal windows with durable outer glass of greater thickness.

Which opening system to give preference?

So that the attic of the attic arose problems and discomfort, be sure to think and optimal for you how to open the window. A competent approach to the choice of this parameter will be provided in the future the possibility of free ventilation of the room at a convenient time.

Only high growth people can note the only drawback, since when opened by the web, it turns out inside the room at an angle.
2. Designs, the opening system of which is made relative to the top edge. The optimal solution for any person. All the cloth when opening turns out to be outside the building, that is, the risk of injury when hitting heads is completely excluded. In addition, it is precisely such windows that are often used as an emergency exit.
3. Windows, the axis of the opening of which is raised. These designs are also very functional and ensure the most convenient operation. The installation site of the rotary hinge is determined based on the preferences of the customer. When opening the canvas, as well as in the models of the previous type, it turns out outside the house. It is these windows that will be the best solution for those who have a high height.

What to choose accessories?

In addition to the main elements of the window design, no less attention to the choice of additional configuration. They contribute to the achievement of maximum convenience during the operation of the room. Accessories include:

1. Roll-type curtains. Such curtains allow you to independently regulate the degree of room lighting, as well as bring originality in the interior.

The right choice of windows and decor will create a really stylish attic.

When the house is built, we look forward to the moment when it is possible to start design, carry out cherished dreams, embodying them in the interior. One of the most cozy premises in the modern house are attic. They can arrange attic children's, bedrooms and even mansard kitchens. It all depends on the architectural features and desires of households. One of the important points in the design of such premises is the selection of mansard windows. Before making the final choice, it is important to understand the stream of information and the variety of variations of windows.

Features and advantages of designs

The history of attic is rooted deep into centuries. In the distant XVII century in Paris, the Frenchman François Mansar, in honor of which the premises and got its name, was introduced into such an architectural sister.

The very francian mansar.

In the old days in such rooms there were usually poor people. But during the urbanization and change of priorities in the field of design, the attic of the attic was widely used in the modern world.

Modern designers are able to turn the usual attic into a stylish attic.

Mansards are nothing more than the superstructure of the upper floor directly under the roof of the house and may be a full-fledged residential room. Due to the characteristics of the location and non-standard architectural form, the attic interior requires an individual approach to the design, as they say, with all the fantasy. First of all, it concerns the optimal choice of the design, because the attic is the rooms whose interior is filled with freedom, light, sun, air. In general, the houses in the attic are part of the roof, which gives a feeling of peace and the opportunity directly from the room to indulge in romance and admire the starry sky. Modern technologies allow you to create a unique design of mansard windows of any size, colors and forms, which are organically complementing any architectural style. The advantages of the structures are as follows:

Located under the roof, they have a slope, which is determined by the structure of the roof. So, if there is a single wall for the roof of the roof, one is called a single one. If there are two walls-supports, such a roof is double.

Important! Choosing one or another design of windows, it is important to take into account the absence of classic lines and the nonstandance of the forms that the attic has.

Windows in the attic, regardless of its functional purpose, play an important role. A stylish interior, complemented by mansard windows, allows you to create aura of lightness, light and comfort at any time of the year.

Also, mansard windows should not spoil the exterior of the building.

Classification of species

Unusual forms of the attic require special attention. Creating an interior in such a non-standard room is important, it is advisable to make your choice in favor of the functional coziness. Interior design with mansard windows is a creative process, which makes it possible to add to experiment and fantasize, creating maximum comfort.

Thanks to the mansard windows, the attic can become the most comfortable room in the house.

According to the window, the windows plane are located in the roof plane, a bit at an angle. At the same time, the height from the floor and the number of such windows may be arbitrary. In addition to such a standard solution, there are several other kinds of mansard windows:

Mansard registration is not an easy, but a very interesting task for those who are looking for non-standard solutions, uses an original approach to arrangement and design. Mansard windows are non-standard structures that make it possible to implement unusual, but extremely functional ideas. One of these solutions are:

Light tunnel in the action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\u003dq-jyalhr4fs

• Combined designs. In those situations where to increase the number of windows for some reason there is no possibility, you can combine the facade window with the attic. How to do it technically? The facade insert is simply added, extending the roofs and connecting two windows. Such a solution is unusually, originally and radically transforms the overall interior of the attic.

This option will give the room a lot of light.

The choice of one or another design of windows can be dictated by several factors. The main is the architectural features of the structure and the desire to create a unique and unique design in a room under the roof.

Design of windows in the attic

To achieve overall harmony so that the windows organically complement the overall design, it is necessary to successfully choose the design. Today, the market is represented by the colossal number of all sorts of variations. Curtains or blinds remain the most popular. Before making a decision, it is important to proceed from such criteria:

• practicality;
• versatility;
• design.

Important! Each mansard window must be protected by a mosquito net, or a marquise. In addition to protecting against annoying insects, such structures may have a view of a soft-scattering light in the attic.

Mosquito net can work on the principle of roles.

Sunscreen systems are often required in mansard rooms. In such cases, you can give preference to the blinds that will help control the illumination in the room. Such systems have their own operational advantages and have a concise design. Registration complements classic blinds or plots, you can use rolled curtains. Rollers are functionality, noise insulation and heat protection, but they are not a decorative element and will not be able to decorate the interior.

You can use the classic option.

Or choose such a decorative design.

Protective rolets for mansard windows.

Curtains or curtains are a classic. When I want to transform the situation, paint bright colors, make elegant sheet music and create aura comfort, without them could not do. But, in order to conveniently and organically, "enter" the curtains in the interior of the attic, you need, as they say, go sweat, because the room is architecturally non-standard. Double eaves are used for curtains. So that the curtains are not slipped, but imagined the elegant composition, there are many ways to create original design: champs, sticking, velcro, fastening or fasteners. One of the innovative decisions of the mansard window are shutters. Constructions can be different, installed inside or outside, have all sorts of fastenings and mechanisms. It is important to pre-think all the features taking into account the location of the window and angle of inclination.

Making off the mansard windows Think of functionality and comfort.

The interior, complemented by mansard windows, is always unusual, organically and air. Such registration is always with the "aroma" of romance, grace and sophisticated French style. The most important point is the choice of optimal design so that the window complements the general architectural style of the building.

Before buying a window for the roof of Fakro, it is necessary to determine the size of the window, the useful glazing area, the purpose of the room and the opening method. Technical specifications of windows are considered in.

1. Choosing window size

The optimal width of the future window depends on the distance between the rafters:

• to install on rafters, this distance must be 2-5 cm more than the windows width. For example, if the distance between the rafters is 80 cm, then the nearest width of the suitable window is 78 cm (Fig. 1);
• if the distance between the rafters is larger than the width of the selected window, thanks to the universal mounting system, the FAKRO roof window can be installed on the crate (Fig. 2);
• if the distance between the rafters is less than the width of the window, it is possible to partially change the construct of the rafter (Fig. 3).

The selection of the window size in height provides for a number of conditions (Fig. 4):

• Flooring height (optimal height - 120 cm).
• The angle of inclination of the roof (the less the angle of inclination, the greater the window is the height).

2. Choosing the number of windows

The number of windows necessary for the coverage of the attic is determined by the ratio of the useful area of \u200b\u200bglazing windows to the floor area. Recommended ratio 1:10. Example: if the area of \u200b\u200bthe attic of 25 m², then the total useful glazing area should be approximately 2.5 m². The value of the useful glazing area is given in the price list in a rectangle under the size of the window. If you use a 78x118 cm window with a useful glazing area of \u200b\u200b0.59 m², then four such windows (4x0.59 \u003d 2.36 m²) will need for room with an area of \u200b\u200b25 m².

The higher the flooring window is installed on the floor level, the greater the light it gives. That is why in the windows Fakro handle is below. This makes the operation of the window installed at the optimal height more comfortable and simple.

3. Selection by destination

To install the windows for the roof in living rooms, children's and bedrooms, it is recommended to purchase Mansard windows made of the most ecological material - the highest grade of winter blanks (class 1a). For premises C. increased air humidity (bathrooms, kitchen, swimming pool) are ideal roof windows. PVC windows are durable, do not require special care and easily clean.

4. Selection by the method of opening

Mansard is a pretty practical solution to a housing issue. However, for the lighting of modern doors, the windows of a special design are required, which can provide good solarization on one side, and on the other hand, they can withstand the onslaught of elements. In addition, an important factor is the convenience of maintaining windows.

How to choose a really big assortment among a rather large range? What you should pay attention to? How to install a mansard window? The answer to these questions you will find in this article.

How to choose a mansard window?

So, what do you need to consider when choosing a mansard window? After all, the comfort and comfort of your home will depend on your decision for several years.

Square glazing

Adhering to sanitary requirements, residential premises should receive their share of sunlight daily. In order to calculate the total area of \u200b\u200bthe windows, you need to divide the floor area by 10. The resulting number is divided by the number of windows and get the area of \u200b\u200beach window. And then the elementary geometry is already followed.

The closer the slope of the window to the horizontal plane, the more light goes into the room. Therefore, in some cases, it is possible to reduce the area of \u200b\u200bglazing to 8% of the total floor area. Light tunnels, for example, with a small glazing area, a rather powerful flow of light radiation can be supplied.

Since the solarization helps to fight with pathogenic organisms, the presence of at least one window in the room must. Exceptions make up technical rooms, such as storerooms and wardrobes.

According to the Soviet tradition, the bathrooms were built before without windows and natural ventilation. If possible, you should not neglect such important architectural elements and think about both natural lighting, which will fight against fungus and mold and ventilation. Mansard windows can combine these two functions. Thus, you can provide healthy and comfortable living conditions.

How to place an attic window?

When designing, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the windows located in various places and on different skates in practice give a greater level of illumination, rather than one window at the same glazing area.

An important factor is also the level of the floor relative to the floor. It is best to select this indicator under the individual features of people living in the attic. Because family members can enjoy both low and high growth. It is also necessary to consider what you wish to contemplate every day in the window. If the view from the window does not suit you, direct your gaze into the skies. When you finally admire the city scenery, the standard standards will allow you to achieve the desired effect.

As a rule, the windows are installed by retreating 90 - 120 cm from the floor level. And end in 200 - 220 cm from the same mark. At the same time, consider the window projection. The more gently sloping the slope - the longer the window is needed in order to open the view.

The windows width directly depends on the step of the rafter.

Therefore, only two options are possible:

1. Select windows in accordance with the size of an existing rafter system.
2. In advance to look for the desired width of the windows when designing an attic with the architect.

When an existing non-residential attic of the house is reworked under the residential premises, then the willy-noilies will have to adapt to already standing beams and rafters. When you know the living light of the naked roof, then you can look for various moments, such as:

• Window type (Normal window or block consisting of several double-glazed windows).
• Dimensions of glassy.
• Window location.

Standard sizes and series of windows

Mansard windows are strictly tied to certain sizes. And you already know why. In addition, each manufacturer has its own dimensional row consisting of 6 to 14 typical sizes.

In addition to sizes, manufacturers offer various series of windows.

They differ in such characteristics as:

• material;
• glass unit;
• opening axis location;
• microwing function (either not);
• color, style and other.

Materials

For the manufacture of mansard windows, glued bar, metalplastic and wood, which is placed by a protective polymer is used. Wood is good in residential premises, but in the bathrooms it is better to install materials that are not afraid of dampness.

Axis opening

Depending on the assigned tasks, the axis can be located in various places of the frame:

• Up.
• In the center.
• On 2/3 heights.
• Combined.

Windows that open on the center line are more affordable and common. The remaining options suggest greater access to the opening.

Glass windows

As for double-glazed windows, this is a separate topic, because They differ in different characteristics:

1. Glass thickness.
2. Filling gas that reduces heat loss.
3. The presence of kalen glass is outside and inside the glass package.
4. The presence of protective coatings that increase the safety of the window (window or scattered on small cubes that are not wounded, or fragments are held due to films, as in the car glass).
5. Distance between the glasses. At the same time, the larger distance contributes to the best thermal insulation.
6. The number of glasses in the package. Now you can choose between different models from two to six cameras. And this is obviously not the limit.
7. The presence of heat transfer coating and options for its location.
