Such interiors look especially advantageous if a beautiful view opens from the window. As a rule, large apartments in modern new buildings are glazed in this way, especially the so-called "views", overlooking the forest, reservoir, beautiful urban development. Panoramic glazing is also used in private houses, if this is provided for by the design of the house project.
Pros and cons of an interior with panoramic windows
Interior design with panoramic windows has its advantages. In particular, it opens up such opportunities:
- Admire beautiful views, include them in the interior.
- Increase the amount of daylight in the room.
- Visually increase the area of the room.
- Feel the unity with nature, "let" her into the house.
- Observe natural phenomena.
Structurally large in area windows are much more complicated, and therefore more expensive than ordinary ones. In general, the following negative aspects of interiors with panoramic windows can be noted:
- The price of windows and their installation are much more expensive than that of standard ones.
- Heat losses through large glass panes are higher, therefore heating costs increase. To avoid this, it is recommended to install energy-saving double-glazed windows, which reduces operating costs, but increases one-time. To save will help a special film for saving energy, glued to the surface of the glass from the outside.
- Cleaning of these windows is more expensive, as it is usually done with the help of professionals.
The design with panoramic windows is demanding not only on the size of the room and the environment (it is necessary for the view from the windows to be truly picturesque), but also on the climate. The closer to the north, the stricter the requirements. In cold climates, panoramic glazing is used only on those walls of buildings that face south or southwest. More light enters the room through large windows, it warms up better.
Curtains for the design of panoramic windows
Large windows are made in cases where they are not going to obstruct landscapes beyond the window, so their complete absence is considered ideal curtains. So that the room is not too bright, you can use tinted glass or chameleon glass in the double-glazed windows, which change the transparency depending on the illumination. In the event that design curtains are still desirable, choose very light, translucent tulle or organza curtains. If the style of the interior allows, use roman blinds.
