Overhead false bindings - imitation of separate double-glazed windows

Shpros: constructive and interglass

Shpros are elements of the frame structure that divide the window area into separate segments. In old wooden windows, such a solution was necessary to give the frame rigidity and to install the glass in the lathing in separate pieces.

In modern products, real structural bars, which are an integral part of the binding, are rare. They are mainly used for wooden window and door blocks or panoramic structures in order to enhance a large glazing area. The more crossbeams (crossbars) are provided in the frame, the more durable the structure will be.

Windows with spros

Disadvantages of this type of design:

• increase in the cost of the finished product due to the use of more consumables and the complication of technology;
• weighting the window block, which is often undesirable or unacceptable when glazing a balcony;
• deterioration of the thermal insulation properties of the window; through the joints of the glass and the profile, the main heat leakage from the room occurs; a large number of layouts in the construction of a glass unit leads to increased heat loss and heating costs;
• increased likelihood of depressurization of the glass unit at the joints of parts;
• production of windows with crossbeams with proper quality requires a high level of qualifications from the master.

For plastic products, imitation is more often used - decorative strips are installed between the glasses and fixed at the production stage.

Ropes inside a glass unit

Decorative bars do not interfere with washing windows

Such products, in addition to their elegant appearance, acquire additional resistance to vibration and deformation during operation. Installations inside a sealed structure are reliably protected from adverse environmental factors, mechanical damage and retain their original appearance for a long time.

Plastic windows with decorative layout in the interior

For indoor installation, plastic or aluminum elements are used. The latter reduce the insulating properties of the glass unit. It is advisable to use products with structural and inter-glazing metal bars in regions with a mild climate, for interior glazing or in non-residential premises where increased heat loss is not critical.

About the advantages of decorating windows with spros - see our video:

Which layout is better

So, now let's look at which of the two layouts is better. To do this, we will see the positive and negative sides of spros and false bindings.

Shpros

Positive aspects of the internal layout:

• Long operational life. All elements are located inside the glass unit, due to which they are not exposed to the negative effects of moisture and the like. Therefore, it can last exactly as long as the window unit.
• Additional protective function. According to a number of recommendations of specialists in this profile, the internal layout is able to increase the resistance of the window to external influences.
• You can create your own portfolio as samples. As a result, it will be easier for you to make your choice.
• Easy to care for and do not require any special care.

There are also disadvantages of this solution:

• If the spro is aluminum, then the thermal conductivity of the window is significantly increased.If you live in a region where low temperatures prevail, then this factor can lead to additional heat losses.
• Another drawback comes down to rattling. If you have a track or a railway nearby, then metal bars will create a certain vibration. As a result, this will create some discomfort.

False bindings

This type of layout has a number of positive advantages:

• Very easy to install. To do this, you should not have any special professional skills. The most important thing is to have patience, because the robot is painstaking.
• A huge variety in shape, color, relief, material used, equipment and more. As a result, you can form absolutely any pattern in the window opening. You can also connect your imagination and create an absolutely unique layout.
• Can be removed completely if necessary. This is especially necessary if the finish does not have an attractive appearance, or you simply want to change something in your interior.

As for the disadvantages of such a solution, then you should pay attention to the following:

• In comparison with shpros, a short service life. This is explained by the fact that the finish has direct contact with the environment. Such influences do not go unnoticed.
• Difficult window care. By giving the surface of the window a relief, it can be difficult to clean the windows. Moreover, dust can accumulate in the corners of the layout.

Features and varieties of false bindings

False covers on PVC windows

Window accessories are presented in a wide range and are classified according to several criteria:

• Type of material. Most often, plastic panels are used, less often aluminum and wood.
• Dimensions. The general principle of choice: the larger the glazing area, the more massive decor you can choose. Narrower planks are suitable for ornate patterns and monograms.
• Color. They are produced in plain white or color, with imitation of a wooden texture. Usually the layouts are chosen to match the frame, it is possible to use a contrasting decor and various combinations depending on the design idea.
• The form. There are straight, curved strips with milled edges.

Venetian layout

This is the easiest and most inexpensive way to give your window a fresh new look. Lightweight decorative profile is attached to the outer surface from the street side. Parallel layout both outside and inside more faithfully simulates constructive frame binding. For the implementation of window decoration using the Venetian layout technology, individual strips and ready-made structures of various shapes and designs are sold. It is not worth overloading small window openings with decorative elements, as this reduces the flow of natural light into the room.

The main advantages decorating double-glazed windows using false bindings:

• ease of installation, which allows you to carry out the work yourself;
• low cost of consumables;
• suitable for windows of any size;
• installation can be performed at any stage of window production, even after installation;
• original sophisticated design without complicated and expensive solutions.

The decor on the glass surface is exposed to mechanical and weather influences. The main disadvantage of Venetian false bindings is a short service life compared to internal slats, which is compensated by the low cost of accessories and the ability to quickly redo the design.

Additional minus - complication of window care. Dirt and water accumulate around decorative layouts, making it difficult to keep the glass clean. The decor, small in area and uncomplicated in shape, can be removed for general cleaning, but you should not abuse it, since the adhesive layer is destroyed in this case.

Vienna layout

This is a hybrid of Venetian layout and constructive spros. With this design method, decorative parts made of plastic, metal or wood with gaskets are mounted on the outside of the glass. Inside the glass unit, a distance frame is installed parallel to them, simulating the division of the glass into several segments. Thanks to this technique, it is possible to achieve maximum similarity with real spros.

The disadvantage of such a solution is an increase in heat loss, since the distance frame will be a cold bridge. Accordingly, the more sections the layout forms, the higher the thermal conductivity of the glass unit.

Layout windows

Modern windows not only make the house warmer and more comfortable, but also protect it from unnecessary noise or intruders. Windows, decorated with additional elements, look unusual and are able to emphasize the taste and personality of the owner of the house.

What are window layouts?

Layouts in windows are created from a special profile placed inside or outside the glass unit and forming a variety of patterns. The layout serves not only as a decorative element, but also strengthens the double-glazed windows in the large French windows. The standard layout color is white or gold, but there are a wide variety of other options available.

External layouts in windows - false binding

Internal layouts in windows - shpros

Internal layouts located in a glass unit are called shpros. They are placed between the glasses. The material for the production of spars is metal, plastic or wood.

The width of the slats varies from 5 cm to 1 cm, they can have a variety of shapes - be straight and curved, intersect or visually split the window into sectors. Ropes come in different colors - both in harmony with the color of the window frame, and different from it.

The advantage of the internal arrangement of the shpros is the ease of care of the glass unit and the long service life of this decorative element.

In which windows is the layout set?

The layout is used to decorate windows made of plastic or wooden profiles. Thanks to a wide variety of shapes and colors, these decorative elements will help make even white plastic windows stylish and unique.

How to make plastic windows with a decorative layout even more attractive?

Other elements can be used in conjunction with the decorative layout to make the windows more attractive and distinctive. By lamination, you can change the color of the profile from white to any other, or give it the appearance of valuable wood species, both in color and texture.

The use of tinting will give the glass unit a different color and dim the brightness of sunlight.Tinting can be mirrored or with the use of a special shockproof film.

The window will become beautiful and original thanks to the use of stained glass - classic, Tiffany stained glass or film glued to the glass unit.

How to install a layout with your own hands

For self-decoration of windows, it is better to use plastic elements. For beginner decorators, it is better to start with a simple layout in the form of a classic binding. The creation of a complex ornament will require special care and accuracy of execution.

Do-it-yourself false bindings installation work is performed in the following sequence:

1. Measure the window opening. Draw up a sketch of the layout of the future decor. Calculate the footage of the decorative profile.
2. Mark the location of the layout on the glass.
3. Cut the workpieces of the required length with a sharp knife without burrs and roughness. Sloppy cuts will ruin the look of even the most beautiful design.
4. Attach to glass and check dimensional accuracy.
5. Degrease the glass with acetone.

Technical restrictions on the manufacture of plastic windows

Often there is a desire to install a panoramic blind or opening window, not divided by an impost. It is not always possible to make it, since there are technical restrictions for the size of plastic windows, as well as for the size of blind parts and opening sashes. Limitations also apply to extremely small windows.

Basic technical restrictions according to GOST 30674-99

• Maximum sash weight: 80 kg for white, 60 kg for colored products.
• Maximum profile length in a plastic window: 4 m for white, 2.5 m for color.
• Maximum area of ​​a plastic window: 6 m 2.
• Maximum opening sash area: 2.5 m 2.

The main technical restrictions on production equipment and fittings

• The minimum side of a blind window is 200 mm.
• Minimum sash side 450 mm.
• The maximum length of the plastic window is 3.2 m.
• Maximum sash height 2.3 m.

If the dimensions of the window exceed the limit, then it is necessary to divide the structure into several frames and join them together. If the dimensions of the flaps are larger than the permissible ones, we recommend changing the deviations by adding blind or opening flaps.

Shprosy - what is it

Ropes are ordinary window structures, the glass part of which has lattice lines or a decorative pattern. Finishing elements can be both decorative and functional. This type of decoration contributes to the design of the facade, making it presentable.In addition, the design of the de-glass adds coziness to the interior of the room, emphasizes the chosen style (modern, classic, high tech and etc.).

Most often, the owners order window structures with decor in the form of stripes, united in the shape of a rectangle, square or shapes with roundings. This design bears a resemblance to stained-glass windows, only the beautiful frames lack pieces of colored glass.

Reference! Ropes are mainly made in the same tone as the window frames. But there are also options where the colors of the profile and decor clearly contrast.

What types of spros exist

There are a lot of types of binding and spros devices, but the following projects are popular with customers.

Constructive

The essence of the technology for manufacturing a double-glazed window is to create a frame, the inside of which is equipped with a lattice of shpros, laid out in a certain order (divides the rectangle into small parts of the same size or different, with and without rounding). Next, glasses are inserted into the resulting cells. In terms of strength, such structures are considered more reliable, but in terms of thermal conductivity they lose to other varieties. It is also worth considering that the weight of the frame is significant, especially when a large window is made.

Decorative

Drawings, ornamental elements and stripes are fixed to the glass part of the window from the outside, thereby creating a visual separation of the glass. In this case, neither the weight nor the strength of the structure changes. The main advantages of this type of shpros are: the absence of additional conductors of cold, easy maintenance of the window, a wide selection of decorative elements that allow you to create almost fabulous design options for a double-glazed window.

Interglass

The golden mean among the existing spros. The essence of their device is to install dividing elements inside the glass unit itself. Thus, it is possible to avoid an increase in the thermal conductivity of the frame, contamination of the glass, and problems with cleaning the window. Plastic decor is used as a decor for inter-glass spros.

All decorative elements of the window differ in parameters, shape, color scheme, materials from which they are made.

Advice! To develop a project for a drawing or ornament on glass using the installation of shpros, it is recommended to involve a designer in the work. A professional will help you to choose the decor parameters that are suitable for the size of the frame, colors and patterns. The result of his work will depend not only on the appearance of the house, but also on the interior of the rooms.

De-glassing of plastic windows

De-glassing of plastic windows is the division of the window sash into parts that can be either deaf or opening. De-glazing determines the appearance of a plastic window, the more complex it is, the more profiles dividing the glazing, the higher the cost of the product and the longer the production period.

The elements that determine devitrification include:

• Box. The box limits the window or door along the perimeter, repeating the shape of the opening, usually has a rectangular shape, less often trapezoidal, arched, round or triangular. The rectangular window frame consists of two vertical and two horizontal PVC profiles, which are reinforced with steel inserts for rigidity. The box profiles are welded to each other, while the reinforcement is not connected, thus, before installation in the opening, the box is plastic and its diagonals can change. The box is fixed only when installed in the opening, and strictly according to the level in the vertical and horizontal planes. If you install a double-glazed window in the box, you get a blind window.
• The sash is the inside of the window block that sits inside the box.
• Sash.The sash repeats the shape of the box or its part, it is made of a special casement profile slightly smaller than the opening in which it is installed. Opening, closing and locking of the sash is provided by tilt-and-turn fittings. The sash, like the box, is reinforced, while the reinforcement is not connected at the corners. After installing the glass unit in the sash and fixing it with linings, the sash shape is also fixed.
• An impost is a profile that is installed in a frame or sash and thus dividing the window sash into parts. A window with one vertical impost is called bivalve, with two - tricuspid. A window with one horizontal mullion at the top and one vertical mullion at the bottom is called "T" -shaped.
• A shtulp is a profile that is installed on the sash of a double-leaf window and makes it possible to flip one sash into another, thus with both openings a single opening is formed, not divided by an impost. The double-leaf window is operated by one handle. Stulp is indispensable in the manufacture of double-leaf entrance and balcony doors.

Pros and cons

The presence of dividing elements on the windows adds style to the facade of the house. The design, thought out to the smallest detail, testifies to the taste of the owners, their reverent attitude towards the home nest. But in addition to emotional and aesthetic pleasure, spros have a number of equally important advantages. You can consider the main ones using the example of inter-glass decor.

• The absence of protrusions on the outside eliminates the accumulation of dust and dirt in the corner areas of the pattern. There are no drips on the glass after precipitation.

• Care of the decor frame is easy, there are no obstacles to cleaning windows.

• From a wide range of shpros, you can always choose an option that matches the color, size and decoration. In addition to geometry, bindings can take the form of curls, bends and other complex shapes.

• During operation, decorative elements on the glass do not lose their color under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, they keep their original shape well.

• The decoration on the glass does not reduce the service life of the window structure.

• The location of the decor inside the frame not only preserves the thermal conductivity of the window, but also increases it due to the technical characteristics of the plastic.

If we characterize the shortcomings of shpros, including other varieties, then the following stand out from the significant claims:

• the overhead decor gets dirty quickly, its maintenance is complicated by the need to remove and attach every time the windows are washed:

• constructive bars increase the thermal conductivity of the window structure, which means that it will be cooler in the house;

• when choosing a wide strip or a sticky pattern, an obstacle to the penetration of the sun into the room is created.

Popular questions regarding windows with shpros

Do spros have an effect on the thermal conductivity of the window?

The thermal conductivity index of the window varies depending on the type of shpros used. When using overhead decor, the level of thermal protection in the room does not change. And the installation of double-glazed windows with constructive or aluminum inter-glazed bars implies an increase in heat losses in the dwelling up to 10%. This fact should be taken into account when choosing a window structure.

How wide is the choice of spros parameters?

The parameters of the spros (decor width) are standard: 80, 180, 250 mm. But the coating and color scheme of the decor is striking in its variety.

Which type of shpros creates less problems with window cleaning?

During operation, the windows become dirty. If there is no difficulty in cleaning large glasses, it is very difficult to wash out the dirt in the corners of the shpros elements. It is better to take this circumstance into account at the stage of ordering a design. Interglass inserts and overheads, which are removed before cleaning, do not create such problems.

What role does spros color play?

If the interior and exterior is designed in any style, it is worth choosing the most suitable option for the chosen direction. For example, the classics are characterized by the tone of oak and mahogany, the baroque is characterized by gilding, the modern is white, and the hi-tech looks perfect with silver.

Ropes on the windows add originality and some mystery to the facade. This decor element favorably distinguishes the building from neighboring houses, emphasizes the refined taste of the owners.

De-glazed windows for easy cleaning

Window cleaning is an integral part of every general cleaning. Many people face problems while solving this important issue and therefore most of our clients want all swing doors, just because they will be inconvenient to wash. But we propose to solve such troubles on favorable terms for you.

The nuances of window designs for comfortable cleaning

They are sure that such designs are distinguished by the absence of problems in washing the glass, and the fact that adjusting the opening sash will require additional attention and, accordingly, do not think about costs in the future. In addition, a blind sash is always more airtight than the opening part of a plastic window. Many window companies are happy to meet such customers halfway, since the installation of this glazing option is quite expensive. However, we are interested in real help to people, and not in making a profit to the detriment of the interests and wallet of the client.

Shpros: species differences

The binding of the shpros emphasizes the style of the interior of the room and the facade of the building.

This fun and affordable décor will enhance the look of even a standard run-of-the-mill home that the owner will be proud of. Therefore, manufacturers of metal-plastic windows create unique series with crosspieces. These inserts are integrated onto the glass unit or inside it, forming a classic or modern ornament.

Dividers for plastic windows

So, lattice bars perform decorative and sometimes constructive functions.

Structural separator diagram.

Functional beams are installed at the stage of window manufacturing. Usually they are used in large or arched devices to give the window opening strength and reliability.

False binding - decor of a plastic structure.

The decorative weave will not reinforce the window arrangement. Therefore it is called false, false. But this decor can be bought and glued, and then removed and created a new pattern with your own hands.

Window design options with shpros

Wide or narrow, straight or curved, milled, rectangular or round parts, connecting, create the most organic pattern in the window opening. After all, they are made from materials for window frames. Therefore, these lattices, snowflakes, stars are one with the window.

In a double-glazed window - crossbeams

This metal patterned lattice is attached to the frame between the panes.

Usually, interglass bars are made of aluminum or synthetic materials. They are folded into a binding pattern inside the glass unit at the installation stage, if the distance between the glasses is 10 - 18 mm. That is, they are laid even during the production of the window structure.

Such decorative strips are covered with a film, special overlays, simply painted or made of colored mass. Although, like laminated frames, they also come in two colors: colored - to the street and white - to the room.

You can enhance the individual style of the building if it is white, gold, brown, silver, blue, etc. details, select the inserts to match the window frame.

Decorative overhead samples

We simply glue Venetian false bindings to the glass, and even on both sides of it. They come in wood, plastic or aluminum - just like the frame itself. Their price depends on the material. This binding is easy to change, so experimenting with it is a win-win.

Choosing standard white spars with a layer of glue, you can glue them permanently (with a sealant) or with the possibility of simplified dismantling.

A sealant or double-sided tape is suitable for mounting Venetian binders. But the instruction suggests gluing on tape - it's faster this way. But silicone, sealant, glue Moment and liquid nails can drain off when dry, forming stains on the glass.

Installation of such strips is simple

The silicone grip is more reliable: the Venetian false binding that I installed in 2005 is still holding on tightly!

Viennese spros are a successful tandem of Venetian and inter-glass bindings. They are easily glued to glass.You can also install a ready-made frame-pattern on the window frame, such a binding is most similar to constructive dividers.

Wooden window with spros

Such binding of spars makes the room cozy and the windows more durable.

For large window openings of country cottages, manufacturers have offered special spros. This is a false sash on wooden windows. They will preserve the brightness of natural light.

Constructive dividers

In the photo there is a functional wooden binding with crotch beads.

Constructive spros have combined functionality and beauty. These grilles are integral to the frame and delimit the window into separate fields. And glass is inserted into each field, increasing the strength of the structure.

By varying the parameters of the spros-slabs, you can create various shapes and styles.

Slabs are structural frame bars that hold several glass panes in a window frame. Customized slat width: 56-160 mm, but 80 mm has become popular.

The configuration is different, the color is to match the frames, and the style is to please the customer: rustic, classic, English or modern. The patterns can be combined: for example, a rectangular grille with upper semicircular strips.

Overhead railings

Wooden window frames can be decorated with overhead strips.

Overhead types are also made for window openings made of wood. We glue the false spros of the sash on wooden windows according to the method described above.

a - elements of false bulbs, b - already mounted parts.

But there is also a second way to set the bars yourself. We construct a wooden frame from them, which we attach to the window frame with hinges or simply nail it. Such overhead spros do not touch the glass itself, so the rain quickly flows down it, and dirt does not accumulate.

Overhead slats are not suitable for sliding and hinged windows - they interfere with the movement of the sash.

The nuances of the operation of shpros

The cross-glass sample does not interfere with washing windows, does not get dirty with street dust.

Of course, I would like to choose beautiful, reliable, heat-insulating and hygienic bars. So:

• Even a window with structural reinforcing bars loses 10-20% more heat, as well as with aluminum inter-glass bars. And Venetian and overhead elements do not affect thermal conductivity.
• Exterior Venetian and some functional binders get very dirty. But the inter-glass slats remain clean, while the invoices for washing must be removed.
• The durability of the interglass sashes is the same as that of the entire window, and the outer spars do not last long, but they are easier to change.
• When self-styling with shpros, darkening of the window and its deformation should be avoided.

Output

Plastic windows with shpros are in tune with the general architecture.

You have already understood that shpros are constructive, and more often decorative lathing of metal-plastic or wooden windows, which serves to decorate and strengthen. I think the examples described in the article will help you choose the best option in terms of color, configuration and reliability.

After watching the video in this article, it will be easier for you to make the right choice. And if you have any questions, write in the comments.

When false overlays are needed

In some cases, the installation of overlays on double-glazed windows is a recommendation, while in others it is a necessity. If the windows are located in a house of an old foundation, the windows of which overlook a noisy avenue, then when replacing such windows it is extremely important to preserve their original appearance. Often such windows have a decorative layout, so when replacing them with new plastic windows, you need to repeat this layout. It is in this question that false overlays are solved. Numerous layout options allow you to simulate any combination of layouts.

Ropes for plastic windows: recommendations for selection

It is not necessary to install round windows to achieve an original window design. It is enough to use a decorative weave - spros.They become a stylish window decoration, add sophistication and classicism to the facade of the house. Decorative bars are irreplaceable in the glazing of modern houses, historical or semi-antique buildings.

There are several types of decorative weaves. Therefore, before ordering them, you need to take a closer look at this type of decorating window structures, both from the aesthetic side and from the functional, and learn more about them.

Caring for such windows

Shpros do not require additional maintenance. A standard set of actions is allowed, as for ordinary plastic windows. However, linings can cause increased dirt build-up and therefore require more frequent cleaning. For cleaning, the spros are gently wiped, avoiding mechanical stress.

The cost of a window with decorative overlays is determined by the type of opening mechanism, the materials used and their quality, the number of cameras, etc.

To create a unique look for the house, it is recommended to equip window structures with beautiful decorative spros. The design of windows of this type is significantly improved, giving the facade of the building a special chic and respectability.

Varieties of spros

Ropes for windows have a wide variety: wide, narrow, straight and carved, arched or round. Different figures in the form of the sun, stars are created by connecting the planks at different angles. Sectors on a double-glazed window can be symmetrical or asymmetrical, have the same margins, or are divided into several small irregular sections.

Structural or dividing bars on plastic windows look harmonious and most complete, since they are part of the window frame. Completion of the window is given by a single design.

Previously, the use of binders was necessary because the cost of glass was high. They installed it in the frame in small pieces. Today, their use is rare. Basically, structural bars are used only with a large glazing area.

The weight of such windows is significant, therefore additional reinforcement is required. For this, glass elements are cut and inserted separately to reduce stress. Separating weaves are made of wood, metal or plastic profiles of various widths.

Plastic windows with spros are massive due to their width, which affects the price of such a window structure.

It is worth noting that roof bars can also be installed on roof windows as a design element. By complementing the windows with designer curtains or blinds, you can qualitatively change the appearance of the window blocks. It will not be superfluous to mention that you can install windows in the attic yourself. Our article will help you with this.

Venetian spros are the most varied decorative overlays. They are made mainly of plastic, less often of wood and aluminum. The plates are glued with double-sided tape or soft silicone, resistant to external factors, from the outer and inner sides, or only one.

Different widths of false bindings, as the Venetian spros are also called, does not limit the possibilities of window design. The patterns of false bindings are used to form ready-made plastic windows, which, if necessary, can be removed to change the pattern.

Decorating the window with golden spros

The cost of Venetian spros is small. In addition, you can purchase a ready-made frame and install it on a double-glazed window.

Vienna spros in terms of fastening technology, they are similar to Venetian ones and differ only in the location of the distance frame inside the glass unit. This creates the effect of constructive spros. The gasket has increased reliability and efficiency.

The width of the Viennese spros is 20-76 mm, and the height above the surface of the glass unit is 8-12 mm.

Classic spros on doors and windows

Cross-glass spros mounted inside the glass unit in a special hole in the spacer frame 12-18 mm wide.The plates are held together with a special cross-shaped connector.

Volumetric patterned spros on the windows look very attractive, which gives the structure a rich look.

Thin plates 8 mm wide can be bent and shaped to any shape. They are painted in bulk, varnished, pasted over with foil, and may have decorative overlays and two-color toning.

Overhead railings connected to a frame, which is mounted to a wooden frame. Installed from the outside without touching the glass itself. Thus, rain or snow flows freely over the glass.

Overhead slats can be made by hand. It should be noted that they are not used for swing and sliding windows.

Shprossy or decorative layout in a double-glazed window

Such a decorative layout as shpros are slats that are installed inside a glass unit, serving as a luxurious decoration for a translucent window structure. The grooves are placed inside the glass unit during its manufacture and fixed on the spacer.

Decorative layout inside the glass unit

Due to the G, X, Y and T-shaped connections from such a layout, you can make some patterns from a regular rectangle to complex geometric shapes, for example, arches, which give the window a unique look. Layout width in plastic windows - 8 mm, 18 mm and 25 mm.

Shprossy as well as false binding (the price for them depends on the complexity of the design, its manufacture, material, etc.), are produced in any color palette. The color of the cover plates outside and inside the window structure may differ, which is especially true for laminated colored windows.

There is also a classification of such layouts by form:

• Wide
• Narrow
• With milled or straight edges
• And bent

Narrow plastic decorative layout

You can connect such elements to each other at any angle. Bright additions can also be used in spros, for example, luxurious monograms. Important! When choosing between narrow and wide decorative layouts in a double-glazed window, it should be remembered that the second type of shpros can bend no more than 8 mm.

The big advantage of shpros is resistance to temperature fluctuations, moisture, mechanical stress and sunlight. Since the bars are installed directly into the glass unit, which provides them with protection from the external environment, they retain their original elegant appearance for a long time. And this distinguishes the structure with spros from the window with false binding (the photo is presented in sufficient volume).

We select the spros to the window

Thin spars on plastic windows, which do not impede the flow of sunlight into the office, are capable of giving originality to the company's image.

Decorated windows of country cottages in a classic style look solid and rich, giving their owner additional prestige in the eyes of guests and neighbors.

Windows with spros take a worthy place in restaurants and cafes.

The decorative weave looks great in other style solutions. In the vintage style, you can use arched, gothic, swing windows with golden spros. In the Byzantine style, the semicircular arch will resemble a temple window.

Choosing PVC windows with spars, one should take into account the architecture of the facade of the building. You can choose them yourself or by contacting the designers. And with the help of special programs, see the result of the selected layout in the exterior before putting it into practice.

When ordering decorated plastic windows, you need to pay attention to their width, appearance, color, location, shape (straight, arched or curved).

Various shades of spros

The connection types are also different, you can create a pattern or use a right angle.

It is important to keep in mind that often placed decorative trims will look bad on the window.

Don't forget about durability and quality. The service life of inter-glazing bars is the same as that of a simple plastic window. Venetian and overhead spros are considered less durable.

It should be borne in mind that it will not work to change the finished pattern in windows with inter-glass questions, therefore, the choice of pattern and color of the weave must be approached responsibly.

How do shpros affect the thermal conductivity of a window

The thermal conductivity of a window is one of the important conditions when choosing a double-glazed window.

Shpros, breaking the glass connection, impairs the thermal insulation properties of the window. This is due to the low heat transfer coefficient at the junction of the glass with the window profile, where heat is removed faster.

Compared to windows without decorative interlacing, the thermal conductivity coefficient of decorated windows is 10-20% higher. This means that double-glazed windows with shpros are colder.

A large number of window layouts lead to high heating costs. The larger the layout, the faster the glass unit releases heat from the room.

Overhead bars in the design of a country house

In windows with Viennese spros, the spacer inside the glass unit also reduces the thermal insulation properties. It becomes a kind of bridge that conducts cold, which can lead to fogging of the window and its freezing.

The coldest structural bars, and aluminum interglass ones, lower the thermal insulation without touching the glazing.

Plastic windows with Venetian spars have practically no effect on the thermal conductivity of the window.

Decorative layout in a double-glazed window: execution options

In addition, it is worth noting that there are several types of window separators:

Real shpros

A decorative layout of this type is a rather rare type of interior for plastic windows. From the name it is clear that such spros actually divide the glass unit into parts, which significantly increases the price of the window. This layout is only used when additional reinforcement of a large glazing area is required.

Real decorative spros

Venetian spros

The decorative Venetian layout is fixed on 2 sides of the glass unit and does not in any way affect its physical properties.Such dividers are made of plastic, brass or aluminum.

Vienna false binding for windows

The Viennese type false binding has a more complex structure than other decorative layouts. It contains a sealing gasket. When installing inside the glass unit, a spacer frame is installed.

Outwardly, such false bindings are an exact imitation of real spros. The disadvantage of Viennese layouts is the need for an additional spacer, which negatively affects the thermal insulation of the window. What this layout looks like in a double-glazed window - the photo is presented below.

Are there any disadvantages to windows with spros?

In addition to the high coefficient of thermal conductivity, structural and Venetian spros are distinguished by the presence of streaks after rain. The water washes away the collected dust on the protruding strips, and dirt is also retained at the junction of the weave and the glass.

Structural grooves do not allow creating complex patterns and making bends with a small radius.

There are many options for how to decorate a room, and lighting is not the last place in this matter. How to install the ceiling lighting yourself, you will learn from the article https://vse-postroim-sami.ru/engineering-systems/electrician/1768_potolochnaya-podsvetka-svoimi-rukami/. It is also worth paying attention to furniture, sometimes design elements can be very functional, for example, a soft headboard.

A large number of decorative elements can spoil the facade of the building, as well as reduce the light transmission capacity of the window.

It is better not to use laths in double-glazed windows in areas with a high degree of vibration with a low frequency. Over time, from the vibration of the air, they can loosen and hit the glass, making an unpleasant rattling sound.
