What is panoramic glazing used for?
The stained glass system is nothing more than a panoramic type of glazing. Its installation is carried out from the inside, it is fixed with a glazing bead. For this reason, glass walls can be installed in all weather conditions, and there is no need to use lifting mechanisms. Most often, stained glass systems are used if it is necessary to selectively or completely fill the facade. Partial glazing can be made both vertically and horizontally.
Stained glass systems are used if you need to focus on the entrance to the room. In this case, glazing of entrance elements (doors, vestibules, signboards) is carried out in entertainment centers, restaurants, theaters and other public institutions. This is done in order to attract guests, because through the glass you can see what products are in the shops, and it is also better to consider the design of the room. With such glazing, a pendulum or hinged type of door is used.
Stained-glass glazing of balconies is also made for the purpose of arranging winter gardens (verandas, greenhouses). The winter garden will harmoniously complement the interior, in addition, it will become a full-fledged place where you can have a good rest. Ordinary loggias are also equipped with panoramic windows to protect the room from dust, noise and thieves.
Designs that are used for panoramic glazing
There are a number of common stained glass glazing systems:
- Rack and crossbar. It is a structure of crossbars and a support post, which are equipped with specially designed grooves. These parts will perform ventilation and be responsible for the removal of condensate. Most often, the frame is located on the inside of the facade. This design includes a clamping profile, which is used to secure the translucent filling. From above it is hidden behind decorative round, flat or almond-shaped overlays. Such products exactly repeat the pattern of the main structure, so the facade has an aesthetic appearance.
Post-transom semi-closed. From the first option, they differ in fastening. From the outside, the glass must be attached with clamps in a vertical or horizontal direction.
structural view. Here, the double-glazed window must be mounted to the frame using an adhesive-based composition. The outer side of the facade will turn out completely glass, because the seams will not be visible. It is very important to use profiles of improved quality and soundproof double-glazed windows in such a system.
Spider. This is the name of the system, the installation of which is carried out using the point method. Double-glazed windows are fixed with spiders (special steel brackets), which are shaped like a spider. As a result, you can get a transparent and lightweight structure, similar to an arch or dome.
In addition, you can make a stained-glass balcony with different glass options. Some people may like mirrored options, others prefer tinted ones. Electrochromic glasses are also installed, which have the ability to change the level of light transmission using the control panel. Energy-saving glasses are often used, which block infrared rays.

The advantages of such structures are many. The main thing is the ability to glaze the facades of large areas and different shapes. In addition, the systems are installed as quickly as possible, have a good level of light transmission, frost resistance and fire safety.
