Entrance group made of double-glazed windows private house is a symbiosis of structures that provide ease of access to the building. Modern technologies manufacturing various designs allow the use of any materials. Even plastic, aluminum and glass, which until recently were considered fragile materials, are now used almost everywhere.

Which profile can be used when installing double-glazed windows?

The entrance group of double-glazed windows to the house can be installed on a wooden, metal or plastic profile. Also in recent years for registration public buildings metal-plastic began to be used often. Such designs have a large number of advantages, which we will talk about later.

In any of these frames, you can install a double-glazed window with one or more air chambers, which affects the width of the product. At the same time, it is worth considering in advance in the project that the structure will have quite a lot of weight, so it will need a reliable foundation.

Design of products with double-glazed windows

• You need to buy an entrance to a private house with double-glazed windows in cases where it is necessary to isolate the building from external factors.
• The main qualities of a double-glazed window include sound insulation and heat insulation ability.
• Protection is provided through the use of double glass and air chamber, inside of which there may be air or argon.

In the latter case, the insulating capacity increases. You can also use a double-glazed window with several chambers to create a sealed structure.

The greatest effect is achieved when using a warm profile. The maximum thermal insulation value is for wood, slightly lower for plastic, followed by aluminum. The warm aluminum profile has a polyamide insert inside, which significantly reduces heat loss.

Advantages of installing double glazed windows

The entrance group from double-glazed windows to a private house has the following advantages:

• insulating ability;
• ease of installation;
• Possibility of application for any opening dimensions;
• great combination with window blocks Houses.

Beautiful entrance groups of houses from this material can be created using decorative techniques. For example, you can paint a plastic profile according to the RAL catalog, cover aluminum and plastic with a decorative film that imitates the structure of wood, etc.

Glass entrance groups are used not only for shops and commercial organizations, but also for residential buildings. They make the entrance much more interesting, more original, and are capable of transmitting a large amount of light, so they do not require the use of artificial lighting. Thanks to such an entrance group, the façade of a private cottage can be made original and catchy.

What is the entrance group?

Entrance groups made of glass is complex design, which is the central element of the facade. It not only serves as an entrance to the room, but also greatly influences the style of architecture. The entrance group must meet the following requirements:

• Ease of use. The width and height should be convenient for removing furniture, household appliances, other items of large dimensions.
• Weather protection. One of the tasks of the entrance group is protection from drafts, precipitation, and cold.
• Ability to insulate heat.
• Buffer between street and indoors. Thanks to this, most of the dirt should remain on the street
• Protection from uninvited guests.

Input groups contain the following elements:

• Door: it can have one or more leaves and be equipped with additional glass.
• Area in front of the entrance. Most often it is a miniature track of various designs.
• Porch or steps. The use of fencing or railings is acceptable.
• There should be a canopy over the porch; often a lantern is hung to illuminate the area in front of the entrance.
• Some groups have special systems to protect the entrance from dirt.

The entrance group of double-glazed windows can be decorated as follows:

• Equipped with balustrades or railings.
• Columns can be used as decoration.
• Stairs of varying complexity and height.
• Parts containing forged elements.
• Varied decorative elements and devices, including pendants.

What materials are used to create the entrance group?

The materials can be used quite varied. Their choice depends on the customer’s budget, climatic conditions, the style of the building as a whole. In order for the entrance group to look harmonious, you should follow some rules:

• For brick building Wooden entrance groups are well suited.
• If the style is collaborative or modern, metal-plastic products will look good.

Advice: if you want to style the entrance group as a tree, but natural material you are not satisfied, you can purchase a plastic structure laminated to look like wood.

• For the canopy, you should choose the same color and material from which the roof of the entire building is made.
• Selection of stairs requires special attention, since this element must correspond in style not only to the entrance group as a whole, but also front door, the wall of the house and the style of architecture in general.
• The railings must match the material of the entrance group itself. For example, if it is wooden, metal ones will be out of place.

What kind of glass is used?

Glazing of entrance groups is done using special glass. There are several types of materials, among which the following are popular:

• Triplex is glass consisting of an adhesive film and several glasses. It is characterized by high strength and the absence of fragments when broken.
• Tempered glass: It is highly durable compared to regular glass.
• Optiwhite: glass capable of transmitting maximum light without distorting space and colors.
• Double-glazed window: used approximately the same as for plastic windows.
• Armored is a particularly durable type of thick glass that is glued together. They have a large mass and differ in thickness. The most durable models can withstand a shot from a firearm.
• In addition, there are glasses that have special types dimming, which allows you to protect the building from unnecessary ultraviolet rays, this is important if you do not want the south side the hallway overheated or the neighbors had the opportunity to look into your house through transparent glass.

What types of entrance groups are there?

Most often, entrance groups are transparent, however, their designs can differ significantly from each other. Often used arched shape doors, configurations may differ, as well as the dimensions of the group as a whole.

Structurally, entrance groups are divided into two categories: with and without a vestibule. Double-glazed windows for both types can be single, double-chamber, both regular and double-glazed windows are applicable. tempered glass. Many buyers prefer triplex.

Advice: if your doors may be subject to increased load, or children or pets live in the house, it is better not to save money and install triplex. It will be able to withstand physical impact, and if the glass does break, no one will be injured by small fragments, since they will remain on the film.

Decorative and protective entrance groups are also a separate subtype of structures. Decorative ones are used in places where the likelihood of burglary is low. If you want to protect your home from thieves, you can use protective or decorative security structures. The peculiarity of the latter is that they successfully combine the ability to protect a house from burglary, while at the same time having an attractive appearance.

Which entrance groups are used most often?

Despite the abundance of choice, the following designs are the most popular:

• A cheap option with a canopy attached to the wall of the house and a PVC door. There is no porch or steps, and often no stairs are required.
• The aluminum structure can have any additional elements and different levels of complexity, which determine the price.
• Plastic. Costs less than its aluminum counterpart, may include various elements, instead of glass we will use polycarbonate.
• Glass. It is distinguished by external attractiveness. Glass is usually large in size, but is inferior in strength to triplex.
• Wooden. It is well suited for stone and brick buildings, has an attractive appearance, and requires protection from moisture and pests.

Conclusion: glass entrance groups thanks to their diversity will help create individual style, distinguish your building from similar ones, protect it from cold and dirt.

The familiar porch or a few steps has gradually turned from a modest functional element of a dacha or rural house into an entrance group, which largely determines the entire appearance of the cottage facade.

This is the main entrance to the house, usually including some external structure and an intermediate connection, which is some type of airlock between interior space and the external environment, which creates an air temperature curtain.

It is one of the central design elements of the building facade, forming the entire architectural style of the building. It should provide a number of important functions:

• be convenient not only for entry, but also for carrying furniture, large household appliances, musical instruments etc.;
• protect from wind, rain, snow;
• serve as a vestibule to keep warm or cool;
• reduce the amount of pollution brought in from the street;
• provide protection against hacking and unauthorized entry.

As a rule, the input group has the following set elements:

1. Entrance door or doors with or without additional windows.
2. A small terrace or platform along with a terrace of various configurations in front of the front door;
3. Steps, stylobate or porch with or without railings and/or fencing;
4. Lantern, canopy, ledge or canopy over the platform, porch or the entrance itself;
5. Engineering and lighting equipment(dust and dirt protection systems, air curtains, lamps, automatic door opening), etc.
   .

Often the entrance group decorated:

• balustrades, railings;
• columns;
• staircases of various configurations;
• forged or carved parts;
• decorative lighting devices, etc.

Materials

Materials for entrance groups are selected depending on climatic conditions, the size of the site and the availability of space in front of the building facade.

They demand selection in terms of compliance architectural style and design solution:

• Buildings made of brick and stone go well with various options wooden entrance groups;
• In decisions modern style It is advantageous to use metal-plastic and metal of various colors with a large number of glazed surfaces;

• The visor looks better if it is made from the same materials as pitched roof buildings;
• The entrance staircase or steps, as well as the platform or stylobate in front of the front door, must be in harmony not only with the entrance, wall and canopy, but also with the base of the building;
• In the same way, it is necessary to select the material for railings, balustrades and other fences of the entrance group.

For entrance groups apply: wood, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, polymer-painted ferrous metal, bronze, brick, concrete, natural stone, plastic, polycarbonate, metal-plastic and various roofing materials.

From glass the following are commonly used:

• triplex;
• red-hot;
• Optiwhite;
• glass unit;
• armored;
• float;
• transparent;
• tinted;
• patterned;
• matte;
• grooved;
• sun protection;
• K-glass (energy-saving), etc.

Recently it has been popular for entrance groups aluminum profile, as well as PVC and wooden profiles. All these profiles differ in durability, wear resistance and weight, but, in any case, they are quite light, self-supporting, durable, easy to install and look attractive.

Particularly durable and expensive are products made from glass framed with a stainless steel profile. The strength characteristics of this profile allow the use of glass and double-glazed units of very large sizes.

Types and features

Entrance groups vary by materials, design, number of elements included, style, shape and dimensions.

Among the most common forms: arched, rectangular and complicated configurations.

Structurally, it is necessary to distinguish two type: vestibule and entrance groups without vestibule. In designs of both types, 24 mm single-chamber double-glazed windows, 32 mm double-chamber and 6 mm glass can be used. Reinforced structures with triplex are also used instead of conventional safety or tempered glass.

In entrance groups, conventional ones are most often used. swing single-leaf or double-leaf doors, but there are also radius doors, as well as sliding or sliding (including automatic) doors. Regardless of the design, the doors must have high strength, provide tightness and sufficient sound insulation.

Entrance groups are subdivided into decorative, protective, decorative-protective, fire-resistant and bulletproof and burglary-resistant. High-strength doors are equipped with special powerful locks, armored glass and heavy-duty fittings. A multi-locking mechanism is often used, as it provides a tight seal around the entire perimeter of the door.

Entrance groups are divided into warm and cold. In warm groups, a thermal bridge and a three-chamber aluminum profile are used, while in cold groups there is no thermal bridge, and a regular aluminum profile is used.

Common entrance groups

Most often used following entrance groups:

Only with a metal-plastic door. A cheap and simple option, in which there is no porch or steps, and the canopy is made of polycarbonate and attached to the wall.

Aluminum. More expensive, but more beautiful group, can have many options from very small openings to a completely glazed wall.

Plastic. Cheaper than aluminum and can be made with polycarbonate instead of glass, which increases strength and reduces the weight of the structure.

Glass. Made from large format glass sheets. Quite an expensive option. Less safe than triplex, but much more beautiful.

With terrace. Quite an expensive option, with spacious space for relaxing on outdoors. When covered with a polycarbonate roof, protection from precipitation or bright sun is provided.

With metal welded stairs. This solution is quite cheap. It allows you to have a strong entrance when minimum costs, and the product itself easily fits into any style.

Techno. This option can have many designs different prices, size and shape, made of double-glazed windows with different metal or plastic profile and, as a rule, a warm vestibule.

Forged. Typically a combination of wrought iron and stone or wood is used. The visor follows the shape doorway or made in the shape of a triangle. This type has high cost forged parts.

Wooden. This solution can decorate both stone and brick and wooden houses. It is less durable than concrete or brick, but is traditionally highly valued by owners due to its charm natural wood. The use of wood allows the use modern materials for the front door, which harmoniously combine with it.

Just a few listed various types entrance groups. But while paying great attention to beauty, we must not forget about the utilitarian functions that this architectural element must perform.

An excellent addition to any entrance group is the design of the area directly in front of the facade of the cottage.

Price input group fluctuates within wide limits and depends on a number of parameters:

• general dimensions of the structure;
• design complexity;
• type of construction;
• number of openable doors;
• materials used;
• method of decorating metal, wood and glass surfaces;
• installation conditions;
• production speed;
• cost of fastening elements;
• cost of locking systems, etc.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Various materials allow you to achieve different decorative solutions and provide a utilitarian function to varying degrees. In this regard, it is extremely difficult to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of products that are not comparable in price and quality.

To the undoubted benefits plastic structures can be classified as large selection flowers. At the same time decorating metal frames can be done using:

• galvanic coatings;
• application polymer coatings almost any color;
• wooden overlays;
• two-color (internal and external) coloring, which allows you to get many options that can be combined with any other materials.

Glasses and glass fillings can be decorated by using sandblasting machines, silk-screen printing, photo printing, engraving, and in expensive versions, create pseudo- or classic stained glass windows.

Forged entrance panels look very advantageous; they are durable, but require serious care and coating with anti-corrosion materials.

Wood remains one of the most preferred materials. But its usual varieties are short-lived, especially in the area of ​​contact with the ground, and tropical species are extremely expensive.

The most popular currently is the aluminum profile. The advantages of entrance groups from it include:

• strength, lightness and fire safety;
• high corrosion resistance;
• ease of processing;
• high noise insulation and heat saving;
• resistance to temperature changes;
• durability;
• variety of decor.

TO shortcomings include not very high wear resistance during constant use, high thermal conductivity and relatively high cost.

In general, among the advantages we can note the possibility of manufacturing almost any version of entrance groups industrially, and only installation on site.

Installation

Installation It makes sense to consider the example of the most popular frame products with double-glazed windows.

This procedure is quite simple, but requires taking into account a number of features when choosing a material. It must be remembered that glass is a fragile material, therefore the installation of such an entrance group must be supported by measures to protect it from burglary and hooliganism (security, high fences, metal external blinds, etc.).

In the very general view the entrance group can be represented as design from metal profiles, which can be just a door, or can be a complex with several doors and windows or glazed spaces. In almost all cases, installation consists of a number of stages:

• drilling holes in profiles adjacent to the entrance;
• installation of profiles in the opening and their alignment using a level;
• assembly according to the instructions of the entire group structure;
• hanging and adjusting door leaves;
• filling the frame glass panels or double glazed windows;
• sealing the gap between the building and the group structure with edging profiles, foam or plaster;
• final processing of the structure and opening;
• construction of a canopy and other necessary elements.

Installation operations are usually precedes construction of a porch, platform, terrace or staircase, according to conventional methods, with the difference that they can be connected to the house either rigidly or have their own foundation and minimum clearance, for independent settlement within insignificant limits.

Device The entrance group has a rather complex and complex nature, which requires a separate detailed professional project and many construction skills. Even installation of a frame system requires high precision to reduce wear on rubbing surfaces and smooth movement of door leaves. All other work does not differ in complexity from other construction and finishing works and require high-quality implementation high level, despite the fact that elements of the entire group can be manufactured industrially.

The entrance group is the face of the building facade. It is the first thing visitors pay attention to. The success of the entire construction project also depends on the entrance device. It consists of a door with a frame, stairs, columns, railings.

Heavy, bulky gates and doors have been replaced by light and versatile entrance groups made of metal, glass and plastic. These changes are related to the requirements for a modern entrance to a public, industrial or residential building:

1. Transmission ability. An important parameter for an entrance with a high traffic volume of people. Classic swing doors they cannot always cope with the flow of visitors, so there are other constructive options.
2. Wear resistance. Materials and mechanisms must withstand constant mechanical stress, as well as temperature changes, rain, snow and wind.
3. Tightness. Doors must preserve the internal microclimate of the premises.
4. Protection from cold. The profile and double-glazed windows of the entrance groups must have low thermal conductivity.
5. Beauty. Glass structures at the entrance - this is a decoration of the building, designed to diversify the not always bright design of the facade.

Based on the above requirements ideal option for the entrance to an industrial, public or residential building is a translucent entrance group made of aluminum profile.

Aluminum entrance groups

They help to create a warm and reliable entrance to any building. The aluminum entrance consists of a profile, double-glazed windows, and fittings.

A profile is a rigid frame on which the glass filling is hung. The aluminum frame outperforms other materials due to its strength, lightness and durability. Profile from aluminum alloy does not bend, you can hang heavy elements on it. It does not corrode and is not destroyed by action external environment. Average term operation 50-80 years.

Cold and warm profiles are used to install entrance groups.

Cold - consists of metal without thermal pads. It is used for façade glazing and installation of entrances in cold rooms.

Warm - consists of several chambers, between which thermal pads are installed. It is used for arranging entrance groups in residential and public buildings, less often industrial buildings.

Double-glazed window. Filling between the stiffening frame. There are single-chamber and multi-chamber double-glazed windows. Single-chamber ones consist of one glass. They are used to install entrance groups in unheated rooms.

Multi-chamber glass consists of several pieces of glass glued into one package. They are used to fill the aluminum frame of entrance groups of residential, public, and industrial buildings.

Accessories. Includes guards, fasteners, locks and handles.

The production of entrance groups from aluminum involves the use of the most modern technological and technical solutions.

Entrance groups made of glass

The combination of double-glazed windows and aluminum profiles is used everywhere to construct the facades of buildings for various purposes. Glass entrances to a private house or public building are divided according to the type of door:

• Hinged doors. They consist of two panels that open in one or two directions. Allows you to maximize the usable volume of the doorway. Used in kindergartens, schools, hospitals.
• Sliding doors. There are manual and automatic opening. They are used for the construction of vestibule passages in shopping and entertainment centers, as well as as part of continuous glazing of private houses. Can be warm or cold. Sliding doors allow you to maximize throughput.
• Pendulum type doors. The canvas rotates around its axis. Aluminum swing doors are installed in office buildings, shopping centers like second doors.
• Folding type doors. They are used in private housing construction to provide access to a terrace or backyard. Received widespread in countries with warm climates. We use heavier options with a massive warm profile. Folding doors can significantly save living space.
• Revolving doors. The operating principle is similar to the drum of a revolver. This is a disk large diameter with glass walls, which constantly rotates along the central axis, increasing throughput.

The functional purpose of the building leaves an imprint on the appearance and technical features aluminum profile doors.

Entrance group of the restaurant

In restaurants and public catering establishments they are installed mainly aluminum doors swing type with one or two doors. A warm profile, two-chamber or three-chamber double-glazed window are used. In harsh climates, aluminum entrance groups consist of a vestibule with two, or less often three, doors.

Entrance group of the cafe

Almost no different from a restaurant. In some establishments where cafes are adjacent to shopping pavilions, sliding or revolving doors are installed.

Entrance groups for a private house

Aluminum panels are used for the main entrance sliding doors with a warm profile and multi-chamber double-glazed windows. They are part of the vestibule, like external doors. Often door leaves are built into the glass entrance group. Typically, double-glazed windows are covered with solar-protective energy-saving film.

Folding and sliding doors are installed in private homes as an exit to the backyard. They consist of a warm profile and multi-chamber double-glazed windows. To protect against penetration, double-glazed windows are covered with anti-vandal film, and reinforced locks and hinges are installed on them.

Entrance groups modern houses or public buildings combine high-tech functionality and aesthetic appeal. An aluminum profile entrance device is the right solution.

Glass entrance groups are the face of the building

Glass entrances are not just doors, but a whole set of architectural elements. Their production should be entrusted to our professionals.

Glass entrance groups: design

In addition to glass doors, the kit includes vestibules, various canopies and awnings. All of them are made of triplex glass, characterized by high strength and safety.

An important parameter that is taken into account when ordering a product of this type is the method of door movement:

• sliding;
• swing;
• pendulum

Sliding glass doors moving parallel to the wall. They significantly save space and do not block the passage. These indicators are especially important in crowded areas.

Doors with a swing opening mechanism are the most familiar to us. They move in one direction (“away from themselves” or “towards themselves”). This way, even several people can follow the order of movement at once.

Glass entrance groups will retain heat in the room

Pendular glass doors are rightfully considered the most functional. The design allows them to open in both directions, and special closers return the door to its original position.

Opening dynamics

Another important parameter- opening dynamics. Based on this criterion, there are two options for glass entrance groups:

• automatic;
• mechanical.

Automatic glass entrance groups operate without the use of physical force by a person. In addition, they save useful space in the room itself.

The doors of such structures can be designed in different ways: from an aluminum profile with triplex or frameless tempered glass.

Mechanical doors are more suitable for buildings with low traffic. Special mechanisms ensure the movement of the door.

Glass entrance groups will ensure sound insulation of the room

Glass decoration

Our craftsmen perform additional processing of products:

• matting;
• tinting;
• drawing drawings.

Frosted glass entrances will ensure customer privacy.

A tinted door can support the style of various advertising signs or attract new visitors by drawing attention to itself.
