For glazing, the sliding windows installed on the balcony have their advantages. In open form, they do not occupy a place at all, increasing the useful area of the balcony.
Varieties of sliding balcony windows
Sliding windows installed on the balcony, there are plastic and aluminum . Aluminum systems are worth using if there is no need to insulate the balcony. They can protect the area from wind and rain, but when frost the doors are freezing. In such constructions one glass is installed, yet they have received the name - "cold glazing". Sliding in both types of windows occurs on steel solid rollers.
Sliding PVC windows to install on the balcony are much more practical, they have a sealant, good waterproofing, you can apply two double-glazed windows. It is a system of "warm sliding glazing".
By design, windows can have a parallel-sliding system. The leaflets run parallel to each other in the side, they are also called "compartment windows". More interesting option - rotary-sliding windows. The leaf is first pulled out "on itself", then smoothly opens parallel to the profile. On the principle of discovery, such systems were called "Ikarus", as in the famous buses. Their design ensures a tightness around the perimeter and maximum thermal protection. Vertical windows are torn off by lifting the frame upward and are fixed. They are also called English windows.
Plastic profiles with a sliding mechanism can be laminated and have a large selection of shades. The construction is equipped with mosquito nets and sickle-shaped locks, which protect from penetration from the outside. Frames in such windows are thinner, so the glazing looks more elegant. Glazing with plastic sliding windows is becoming popular, as it allows you to save the useful area of the balcony, make it warm and airtight.
