If earlier a round window most often served as a functional element of the under-roofing space, now the scope of these products has expanded significantly. Today, such structures are increasingly used to decorate the facades of buildings and use them to create original interiors. A house with round windows looks much more interesting and respectable than buildings with standard rectangular openings. Since there are several varieties of these designs, it is necessary to have a basic minimum of knowledge about their features and differences. This article contains all the necessary information about models with a round frame, which will help you make the right choice during the buying process.

Since round windows are called differently, it is desirable to know the terms that are additionally used to refer to them. This will help avoid confusion and misunderstandings. Such products may be called a "rose" or "Gothic rose", and sometimes also a porthole. Also, when using the term "dormer window", most often they mean exactly the round structure.

The choice of material for round windows

Currently, for the manufacture of round frames and sashes, PVC or aluminum profiles, as well as natural wood, are used. Radius shapes are given to these structures in different ways, and their characteristics have some differences. In order not to make a mistake when choosing, you need to find out the main properties of each of the listed materials.

Round plastic windows

These models enjoy the highest popularity, which is explained by good performance and unpretentiousness in operation. Round plastic windows are made using thermal bending technology. In a special chamber, the profiles are heated and then, using pre-prepared templates, give them the desired shape on a table with a perfectly smooth surface. The hardened plastic does not straighten and retains its former properties. Thanks to this, round structures are successfully made from it, which have many advantages:
  • high level of noise absorption;
  • energy efficiency;
  • durability - up to 50 years;
  • color fastness;
  • tightness.

This method has one drawback - it is impossible to reinforce frames and sashes. This is due to the fact that it is impossible to bend softened PVC together with hard metal. It is also impossible to insert a radius insert into a frozen bent plastic blank, therefore the rigidity of such structures depends entirely on the properties of the PVC profile. As a result, overall products without internal jumpers have a risk of deformations that can provoke depressurization.

To make large round windows, PVC profiles are rarely reinforced. According to special technology - it is more time-consuming and expensive. A special reinforcing tab is used to give rigidity. It, along with the profile, softens in a thermal bath, since it is made of a composite material that can change its rigidity. After heat treatment, the inner liner is quickly and accurately inserted into the profile chamber. The rest of the sequence of actions is exactly the same as in the manufacture of round windows without reinforcement.

A machine has already been developed and is being produced, capable of giving curved shapes to plastic profiles without placing them in a thermal bath. Bending is carried out using 3 plastic rollers and a hair dryer, which heats the PVC minimally. This equipment gives hope for the early emergence of an affordable technology for reinforcing round windows.

Round aluminum windows

Depending on energy efficiency requirements, a round aluminum window can be made from both cold and warm profiles. This allows you not to overpay when products are ordered for installation in unheated rooms. Unlike cold windows, which are entirely made of aluminum, warm windows are made from profile systems with an additional liner made of polymer material. This element has a low thermal conductivity, thanks to which it helps to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature at no extra cost.

Cold and warm windows are made using roll forming equipment, which allows you to give metal blanks the desired shape. This technology is based on the fact that aluminum profiles are passed through a system of rollers. Under the influence of a uniformly distributed external force, after a certain number of cycles, the molded elements become curved. Due to the properties of aluminum, round windows made of this material have the following advantages:

  • long service life - from 80 to 100 years;
  • high rigidity and resistance to deformation;
  • ability to withstand external mechanical stress well.
A conditional disadvantage is the price factor - a round aluminum window sometimes costs 2 times more than plastic products. However, this is fully compensated by the strength and durability of metal structures.

Round wooden windows

A round window in a wooden house or an expensive brick cottage looks more solid than plastic or aluminum counterparts, so property owners prefer to order just such models. Theoretically, these products can be made in 2 ways - by bending a single bar and by splicing individual small bars (plots). However, in reality, almost all manufacturers use only the second option, since the first method is very long and costly. In addition, a bent profile made of solid timber has a high tendency to deformation, which is unacceptable for windows.

Frames and sashes made of solid wood, hold their shape well. Modern joining, grinding and finishing technologies make it possible to mask the joints well, so round wooden windows look like a solid structure. The advantages of such models are well known:

  • environmental friendliness;
  • service life up to 100 years;
  • excellent thermal insulation and sound absorption.
The disadvantage of wooden windows is that the outer coating will have to be updated sooner or later. The service life of factory paint on the outside depends on the class of products. For economy-class windows, they are 5-8 years, for premium-category models - from 25 years. It should also be borne in mind that if the manufacturer violates wood processing technologies, products may change shape during operation.

Blind or opening windows

Since the vast majority of such models are made to order, the client can independently determine the method of opening. Usually the choice is made from 4 options:



When considering the functional characteristics of models with opening doors, it is recommended to focus on the data from the table.

opening type
Individual characteristics
Openable top or bottom window
They allow to ventilate the premises and, thanks to an additional jumper, have increased rigidity. However, during operation it is not always convenient to lower or raise the active sash. Also, with large dimensions of the structure, it may be difficult to access the entire outer part of the double-glazed window while washing windows.
With hinged doors
Such a round window functions in much the same way as a regular rectangular model. The number of active leaves is determined by the customer. It is possible to integrate rectangular vents into a round structure. At the same time, it should be taken into account that a large number of vertical or horizontal mullions reduces the light transmission of windows. With an insufficient number of active sashes and their small size, access to the outer part of the double-glazed windows is difficult.
mid-hung
A convenient model that allows you to easily ventilate the premises and wash the double-glazed window. Thanks to the improved fittings, even the overall sashes move easily when opened. Such models provide ideal air circulation when ventilating the premises.
If it is decided to choose a model without active doors, it must be taken into account that blind structures can only be washed from the back. It is also undesirable to make a round one deaf - read more about this at OknaTrade.

Round window sizes

In view of the peculiarities of manufacturing and operation, the dimensions of round windows differ from the dimensions of rectangular windows. This parameter is also influenced by the material of manufacture.
The material from which the windows are made
PVC
Wood Aluminum
Max size with flaps (mm)
4600
3500
4000
Minimum size with blind leaves (mm) 800 500 700
Maximum size with blind leaves (mm)
2000 1800 3000
Minimum size with flaps (mm)
1080 1000 900
Since manufacturers work with different types of profiles and wood species, the maximum and minimum diameters of round windows may vary.
In view of the existence of restrictions on the size of these products, a round window in a brick wall or concrete plane must be designed at the construction stage of the building. After all, adapting the dimensions of the opening will be too difficult or completely impossible.


Decoration of round windows

Although these models decorate and enliven the interior design by themselves, in some cases they need to be completed with additional elements. The main purpose of such an event is to limit the flow of sunlight and provide privacy, but sometimes an aesthetic factor is also taken into account. There are 3 most popular ways to decorate round windows beautifully.

Blinds

You can install classic blinds on round windows, but you need to be prepared that they will be more expensive than rectangular counterparts. After all, the dimensions of all horizontal slats are not the same, and the technology for installing the structure is complicated by its shape.

Pleated blinds

Pleated blinds are popular in the design of radius structures. They are also made according to a template, but the production process of such products is simpler. Choosing this option for decorating and darkening windows will allow you to easily choose the material that is ideal for the interior.

Curtains

You can creatively approach the solution of the problem, you can decorate the window with curtains on round windows. In this case, it is recommended to choose an original cornice and show imagination in the process of attaching strips of fabric. To fix the curtains, it makes sense to choose separate fasteners, with which it is easy to repeat the radius contour of the opening.

Where can I order round windows

In order not to waste time searching for a responsible executor of an order for the manufacture of windows, we recommend using the information on the OknaTrade portal. We have collected in one place information about the leading manufacturers of the region, so that buyers can quickly study the range and conditions. Since we publish information only about trusted companies, the risk of falling into the hands of scammers is minimized.

Any architectural and construction project consists of three parts: architectural, design and engineering. This is a document without which the developer will not receive permission to start construction.

The main part of the project is the architectural and design sections. If the customer is sure that there are intelligent specialists in engineering networks in the construction team, then the development of this part of the project in a specialized company can be abandoned. But it is necessary to understand that the architect, designer and engineer are working on the project together and such moments as, for example, strobes and openings in the walls for laying pipes and wires, are provided by them in advance.

The engineering part of the project is divided into several parts

  • Water supply and sewerage (VK)
  1. water supply scheme
  2. sewerage scheme
  3. general view of the system.

Before proceeding with the design, it is necessary to decide what kind of communication will be - individual or connected to a centralized system.

Individual water supply gives complete independence from external conditions. But it must be remembered that you will need your own sources of water, and drilling a well will cost a decent amount.

Connection to a centralized system will require designing in accordance with the specifications of the existing network and obtaining permission for tie-in.

When connecting a sewer to a centralized system, the procedure is the same as when connecting a water supply: making a request to the relevant services, developing a project, obtaining permission to tie into the system. If you decide to organize an individual sewer system, then from time to time you will have to invite a sewer service.

  • Heating and ventilation (HV)
  1. heating scheme: calculation of the required power of the equipment, distribution schemes for heating mains, location of pipes and radiators
  2. ventilation scheme: binding to power electrical equipment, ventilation communications and shafts, passage nodes and, if necessary, the location of stoves and fireplaces
  3. boiler piping (if necessary)
  4. general instructions and recommendations for the section.

If the ventilation system is always an individual design, then heating can be either individual (stove, air, water, electric), or connected to centralized networks.

  • Power supply (ETR)
  1. lighting layout
  2. wiring of power networks
  3. ASU scheme
  4. grounding system
  5. detailed description and characteristics of all elements of the system.

Electrical systems can be divided into mandatory and optional. Mandatory include indoor and outdoor lighting, ventilation, air conditioning and electric heating systems. Additional systems include systems such as "Warm floor" or automated gate control.

IMPORTANT

  • Each part of the engineering section of the project should contain general and technical descriptions, specifications of materials and necessary equipment.
  • Drawings of elements of all systems and floor electrical wiring are made on a scale of 1:100.

Price: from 300 rubles. per m²

Making changes to the project

Often, the customer is faced with the question: choose a typical house project and save money, while losing on the originality of future housing, or order an individual project, but for a lot of money.

Our company offers a compromise option. You order a standard project, and we make changes to it, taking into account all your wishes as much as possible. Of course, this implies additional costs, but, in any case, such a project will cost much less than work for a specific order. And we will make sure that your house looks original.

The following changes can be made to the project of the house:

move wall partitions. But only if they are not carriers. This operation will allow you to change the size and purpose of the rooms.

moving window and door openings will allow you to change the illumination of the rooms and organize convenient access to the rooms you need

changing the type of floors and walls will allow you to fully realize your own ideas about economical and rational housing

change ceiling heights. Although all our houses are designed with an optimal room height of 2.8 m, some customers find high ceilings to be an additional coziness and comfort.

conversion of the attic into a living space will give you the opportunity to expand your own living space

it is worth changing the angle of inclination of the roof and canopies, taking into account the climatic conditions of a particular region

it is necessary to change the type of foundation, taking into account the engineering and geological parameters of the soil. It is also possible to add or change a basement or basement

add, remove, change a garage or a terrace, you can, in accordance with your ideas about the functionality of housing

changing the structural composition, building and finishing materials will allow you to economically manage your own financial resources

a mirror image project will allow you to organically fit the house into the surrounding landscape.

The changes made should not affect the safety of the home.

Too many changes usually do not improve the project. If you could not choose a suitable house in the catalogs, then it may be worth ordering an individual project from an architect.

Price: from 2000 rubles.

Package "Foundation adaptation"

When a typical project of a house is being developed, then some average soil parameters are taken as a basis. But, without having the exact data of the geological expertise, it is difficult to take into account all the nuances in the design. Therefore, often the engineering and geological characteristics of a real site differ significantly from those originally laid down in the project. And this means that the foundation - the basis of the whole house - will need to be finalized in order to make it strong and reliable.

To completely eliminate all problems when laying the foundation, the specialists of our company have developed a package "Adaptation of the foundation". When implementing the package, not only technical characteristics are taken into account, but also the wishes of the customer.

This package includes:

  • choice of foundation type
  • calculation of technical parameters:

Foundation footing depth
- load bearing capacity
- indicators of soil stress under the base of the foundation
- cross-sectional area of ​​the working reinforcement, etc.

  • detailed drawings of the zero cycle
  • cost sheet for building materials.

Adaptation of the foundation gives a full guarantee of its strength, and hence the reliability of the entire building. You are guaranteed to get rid of problems such as shrinkage and cracks during the operation of a finished house. Moreover, often the adapted foundation turns out to be cheaper than the option originally laid down in the project. And this will help save materials and financial resources.

Price: 14,000 rubles.

Individual design

If you decide to build a house, then you have your own idea of ​​​​what your dream home should be like. And if none of the standard projects suits you, it makes sense to think about an individual project. In addition, it will take into account all your wishes as much as possible: the level of comfort, family composition, even the view from the window. It is clear that such a project will cost a lot. But you will know for sure that there is no other like it.
Sometimes, however, you have to resort to individual design forcedly. For example, the developer got a plot of land of a non-standard configuration, and not a single standard project simply fits into it. And it also happens that the number of changes made by the customer is such that it is easier and cheaper to design a house from scratch.

Stages of work on an individual project:

  • development of technical specifications for the design of a house
  • contract for design work
  • preparation of a draft design: linking the building to the terrain, external and internal views, layouts, sections
  • detailed study of sections of the project.

In addition, you can also order:

  • projects of additional structures - a garage, a workshop, a bathhouse, etc.
  • visualization of the project in 3D format.

Ultimately, the customer receives a package of design documentation, consisting of architectural and structural sections.

The project features:

  • The general plan of the house with its binding to the boundaries of the site.
  • Floor plans, which indicate the thickness of walls, lintels and partitions, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe premises, the specification of windows and doorways.
  • Facade plans with indication of finishing materials and color schemes.
  • Sections of the building and main units.
  • Drawings and sections of the foundation, bill of materials.
  • Calculation of the ceiling, roof truss system, roof insulation and waterproofing units.

Package "Tender offer"

For any developer, the question from a cheerful nursery rhyme "what should we build a house ...?" far from idle. Moreover, the cost of building a house depends on many factors. Therefore, you should not estimate the costs "by eye". Without complete information, it will not work to calculate everything to the smallest detail and, in the end, it will cost yourself more. And besides, a careful calculation of the cost of materials and work affects not only your finances, but also the timing of building a house.

You can calculate the construction costs with the utmost accuracy using the "Tender offer" service developed by our specialists. In fact, this is a document that provides a complete list of all building materials and work, indicating their volumes.

The presence of a tender offer allows:

  • get a real picture of the costs of upcoming construction
  • attract a construction company that is able to offer the most favorable conditions for the performance of work
  • not only understand the essence of the construction process, but also competently control the consumption of building materials, independently adjusting prices for each item
  • competently supervise the actions of contractors at all stages of construction

a tender offer supported by information on the cost of materials and construction work is a serious argument for obtaining bank loans.

Package "Anti-ice"

Snowdrifts and ice in the winter on the roof of your house cause a lot of trouble. You can, of course, climb onto the roof and wave a shovel in the cold for 2-3 hours - that's business. But effective snowmelt and anti-icing systems have long been invented and widely used. Their basis is heating cables. The system is organized on the same principle as the "warm floor". Only more powerful and the cable laying step is smaller.

The Anti-Ice package is developed taking into account the peculiarities of the power supply of the house:

for roofs and gutters: snowmelt in gutters, at the edge of the roof in order to prevent the formation of icicles and frost in the pipes

for the entrance group: heating of steps, paths and open areas

for the entrance to the garage: heated driveways

in addition, sometimes the Anti-Ice system is used for heating the soil in greenhouses, and for landscape heating of flower beds, lawns and lawns, as well as for heating sports facilities.

During the design process, the minimum energy consumption is calculated and fire safety is ensured. When creating the Anti-Ice system, it is recommended to use only certified self-heating elements that do not support combustion. In addition, the system is equipped with an overtemperature shutdown device or a differential circuit breaker to automatically shut down the system when power loss is detected. If the system is too large, it is divided into smaller sections. This makes it easier to manage her work.

Important:

for a multi-pitched roof, the Anti-Ice system will be designed by specialists of our company on an individual order.

Package "Lightning protection"

Often, developers do not attach much importance to protecting their own houses from lightning: someone saves, someone thinks, someone hopes for "maybe". But 3-4 years after the construction of the house, many people remember about lightning protection. All household appliances burned down at a neighbor's roofing felts, or statistics about how many fires happen due to lightning a year caught my eye.

We propose to resolve the issue immediately: to provide protection already at the design stage of the house. It is worth thinking about this at least for purely aesthetic reasons - there will be no need to once again hollow out the walls of the house and pull the down conductor along the facade, violating the well-thought-out appearance of the building.

Home lightning protection is a system of devices located both outside the home and indoors. External lightning protection prevents lightning from entering the house, internal - protects the electrical network from sudden voltage surges. And special devices protect electrical engineering from sudden changes in the electromagnetic field within the radius of a lightning strike.

The package "Lightning protection" includes

  • plan-scheme of the location of lightning rods that take on direct lightning strikes
  • cross-sectional diagram of a current collector that diverts current from the lightning rod to ground
  • ground loop circuit that distributes lightning energy in the soil, ensuring complete safety
  • averaged resistance calculations
  • detailed list of required materials
  • recommendations for project implementation.

The package "Lightning protection" from the company Dom4M guarantees you the safety of your home even in the most severe thunderstorm.

Package "Central vacuum cleaner"

"Central vacuum cleaner" is a kind of aspiration system(removal of small particles by sucking them in with an air stream).

The system consists of:

  • vacuum cleaner(installed in the technical room);
  • duct system, along which the dust-air mass moves (more often hidden installation is carried out in the preparation of the floor or in the space behind the false ceiling);
  • pneumosockets and pneumosows(a flexible hose with a telescopic rod and a nozzle is connected to the former, as in a conventional vacuum cleaner, the latter are intended for express cleaning, usually in the kitchen).

Pros:

  • removable dusty no air gets in back into the room, and is “thrown out” after the unit to the street;
  • No noise in clean rooms.
  • Ease of cleaning without "pulling" the vacuum cleaner from room to room, without the use of extension cords.
  • Concealed installation system, there is nothing in the room except a pneumo-socket.

Package "Comfortable home"

Explanatory dictionaries claim that comfort is a set of household amenities, without which life is unthinkable.
modern man in a modern house. Most of these amenities are laid down at the design stage. But we are ready to expand their list and help clients make their own housing as comfortable as possible.

Therefore, our company Dom4m has developed for you the "Comfortable Home" package, which will allow you to make your home cooler on a hot summer day, and cozy and warm in winter colds.

The package "Comfortable home" includes

  • Underfloor heating project This is a state-of-the-art home heating technology. It can be used by connecting to both local and centralized heating systems. In addition, heated floors can be both the main and additional source of heat in the room. The main advantage of the system is that it creates a uniform thermal regime, does not dry the air, and at the same time fits organically into any interior.
  • Design of a ventilation system with recuperation. Unlike traditional systems, ventilation with recuperation makes it possible to save significant costs during operation. The essence of the system is that the exhaust air, passing through the heat exchanger, gives up its heat to the cold stream entering from the street. Everything ingenious is simple. This system allows you to significantly reduce heating costs. Savings reach up to 80%. And, in addition, the load on the network is reduced. In the summer, the heat recovery ventilation system can cool the warm air from outside. And here you are already getting savings from reducing energy consumption when air-conditioning your home.
  • Air conditioning project. Such a project offers you a choice of a ducted air conditioner with distribution of air flows throughout the premises or a multi-split system that allows you to connect several indoor units to an external unit at once.

Fortunately for most modern city dwellers, today's homes boast a wide variety of architectural designs.

The time has passed when all houses looked exactly the same - now a rare architect does not strive to demonstrate to others his vision of a truly bright and aesthetically beautiful house. And I must say, they succeed in this. In particular, when they begin to decorate houses with the help of non-standard window openings, namely, those that are not based on the usual four corners, but ... more, or less, or do not have them at all. In particular, round windows have become very popular today, but not from wood, but from plastic.

Such a window most often becomes deaf, that is, unable to open. As a result, it is not so much a practical element of the interior as a decorative decoration that makes it possible to observe the street through it. It is impossible to use such a window to ventilate the room. But they, as a rule, are ideally able to fit into the interior of your premises, as well as the design of the external facade of the building. I must say that non-opening windows are not a whim of civil engineers, but rather a concession and compromise, since the profile, bent into an arc, does not allow the sash to fit snugly enough to the frame. As a result, the user of the window will not be able to achieve a sufficient thermal insulation value.

I must say that it is the plastic window that has a significant limitation - the radius. The whole point here is that the plastic profile, which serves as the basis, is limited to the smallest bending radius. This means that even your blind window cannot be too small. And from the maximum side, the radius is limited by the weight of the window - the sash should not be heavier than eighty kilograms.

However, plastic, it is, in most cases, boring, although relatively cheap. Much more fun - round stained-glass windows, they are often used to diversify the interior of a cottage or a private house. However, stained-glass windows can be found today in a modern city apartment. A stained-glass window in the form of a round porthole is an excellent solution for anyone who wants to achieve a truly unique interior and exterior. Just do not forget that the process of installing a round window is a process several times more complicated than installing a regular rectangular one. And if you decide to get a window frame in the form of a circle, oval or other rounded geometric object - contact the professionals who will initially take matters into their own hands - they will make a round window, regardless of the degree of complexity of the work, the size of the window or the features of the future stained glass drawing.

What is good stained glass? It allows you to admire the painted walls, at the moment when the sunlight passes through the window and is transformed, thanks to the multi-colored typesetting patterns on the glass.

In other words, a round stained glass window is an excellent design solution, and they are gaining more and more popularity today. Most often, windows of this kind are used in attic or attic rooms, for the simple reason that the installation of large windows on the lower floors is required, and it will not work to install a round window of an excessively large radius. It is difficult, expensive and unjustified from an economic point of view. By the way, stained-glass round windows can also be seen in swimming pools, bathrooms, saunas.

How to choose round windows

First, you should know that they come in wood, PVC, or aluminum. Actually, PVC windows have already been mentioned above, wooden windows are the most ancient on earth, since wood is the most obvious material for their manufacture, but also more expensive today. As for round windows made of aluminum profiles, you should know that aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, which means that it makes sense to use it only where good thermal insulation is not required.

We have already said above that there are deaf round windows, but there are also opening ones, right? Let's say a few words about them. Advantage of opening round window to let fresh air into the room. A minus - low resistance to penetration. And by the way, it is not recommended to install stained-glass windows that are too heavy on opening round windows, simply because they are most often suspended on one hinge, which means that they can break off from it, under the weight of the decoration.

By the way, round windows are not only consisting of one single whole sash - it can also consist of halves, that is, semicircular sashes. And the use of such windows is recommended if you want to install a large window - two sashes will be twice as light as one large one. This is the simplest, most affordable and convenient option for a round window, as it can not only provide excellent room filling with light, but also allow you to ventilate the room.
