New trends in design - windows
The proposed new houses provide large areas of windows. This trend-edge on the windows that open onto balconies or terraces, and those that have no function space. We see more and more walls built entirely of glass. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this new trend in design and architecture?
Glass surfaces have many advantages in terms of functional use and respect the possibilities of interior design. However, they also have disadvantages that we will try to present in this article.
We must first find that the glass surfaces generate significant heat loss. Therefore, we recommend the glass walls unless they are installed in the building's exposed to sunlight, such as the southwest or south - in this case, the use of glazing is warranted. However we must think about the sources of ventilation during the summer.
The natural energy recovered for a long time throughout the day, not only to heat a room but also to make it light. Installation of large windows facing north is a simple waste of money on the pole energy bills and the cost of the windows themselves is much greater than the cost of a wall.
When ordering windows with a large glass area, be sure to pay attention to the coefficient of heat transfer. The lower, less loss of energy you have. Of course, the windows themselves have no value if they are not properly installed and insulated.
Interior Design
Depending on weather and climate, the tactic may of course vary, however, considering the colors of the Parisian sky (dark gray), use all means to get the most of natural light inside of our houses and apartments. Large windows also aim to improve mood, and if you have the chance to enjoy a beautiful view of the garden, for example, large windows will surely improve your aesthetic impressions.
It should be remembered that the interiors with large glass walls seem larger than they actually are. This is due to simple optical effect which makes the interior brighter, warmer and friendlier.
It should however be aware that the glass walls make the interior design and installation of furniture much more difficult as in most cases, we are left only 2 or 3 ripe up where you can put the furniture. This does not apply in the case of large rooms that are characterized by open spaces. Furniture such as sofas, tables, chairs can be arranged in the middle of the room. However, if the size of the room does not allow it, a wall of glass can be a problem of organization of furniture.
