Glazing of the facades a few decades ago was considered a characteristic feature of European office buildings and business centers. Stylish skyscrapers reflecting in many glasses the surrounding industrial landscape is a picture from a Hollywood film that was not associated with domestic high -rise buildings. However, the world construction industry is developing, and glazing has already become a familiar type of work for domestic construction companies.
There are various types of glazing facades; the most expensive is a non -family, in which vertical racks are not used. A complete illusion of a continuous glass surface made of hardened glass is created with a thickness of 6-8 mm. This method leaves the room bright and as if “open”, while in fact super -strengthed glass protect the rooms from wind, snow and rain, like a transparent, but strong wall. Such glasses do not vibrate, can be installed at the corners of the balconies, do not freeze (since glazing provides for the presence of technological clearance for ventilation).
When glazing facades, aluminum “warm” profiles are used. They are called warm because they include a heat -insulating polyamide insert reinforced with fiberglass. Sometimes this insert is filled with polyurethane, to increase the level of heat and sound insulation. Aluminum profiles are usually made of a alloy of several metals – aluminum, silicon and magnesium. The anti -corrosion coating applied to the surface of the profiles does not allow them to rust under the influence of moisture. And as enhancing elements, steel profiles are used.
The supporting profiles for facade glazing are equipped with drainage channels and seals; The surface of the profiles is anodized in a natural color and painted with a powder method; External linings (flat, semicircular, boxed) are selected based on the design concept of the building and taking into account the tastes of the customer.
