Lattices on windows in Moscow and Moscow region

Why do we need lattices on the windows?

The grilles on the windows serve to protect the lower and upper floors of apartment buildings, as well as to protect the offices on the first floors from unauthorized entry.
Rooms with windows overlooking the visor or located close to pipes, fire escapes, roofs of neighboring buildings, that is, any elevations that can facilitate the entry of an intruder into the house, also need protection with grilles.
Grilles for windows are also relevant in institutions in which it is required to restrict access to windows both from the inside and from the street.
Also, metal bars on the windows are used for peace of mind while sleeping in the country: they make it difficult to enter the house, which means they ensure the safety of the whole family.
The installation of gratings on the windows will also be relevant for those who have to leave a cottage or a country house for a long time unattended during departures.

If, in your case, the installation of protective grilles is necessary, then before ordering the grilles on the windows, you need to determine what type of lattice is better to choose.

By the type of opening and installation there are:
Hinged window grilles - have two frames, one of which is fixed, and the second is fixed with hinges and is connected for closing with a fixed part, for example, a padlock;
Sliding window grilles are used not only for windows, but also for doors or partitions.
Removable grilles are an alternative to swing grilles, but they are installed in rooms where, for some reason, the installation of other options is not allowed.
The manufacture of window grilles also varies:
Welded gratings
Welded gratings are manufactured by welding individual parts and have the following advantages:
- fairly low cost;
suitable for bulk installation.

Welded gratings look simple and uncomplicated, so it is better to choose this option to protect windows that are not part of the design ensemble.

Wrought iron grates

If you need individual lattices for windows with a complex design, then it is better to choose forged lattices. In this case, a blacksmith works on each structure, making grates according to sketches. But the attractive appearance of such structures, as well as their high strength, make the prices for gratings from under the hand of the master more expensive.

Decorative grilles for windows also have different types:
Inflated grilles - these are curved structures with an original and interesting design. The cost of blown gratings is relatively low, but at the same time, such structures look interesting, and the room is protected from penetration.
Also on the basis of lattices are performed flower beds on the windows... A special "shelf" is attached to a regular or blown lattice, which is great for arranging flower pots.

Types of decorative layouts for windows:

There are several types of decorative window layouts that can satisfy any imagination of the customer.

External layouts in windows - false binding

False bindings are decorative external linings that visually divide the glass unit into a number of sections. Their shape is rectangular and their function is purely decorative. They are made of various materials - wood, plastic, metal and are located at a short distance from the glass unit itself. However, a solid wood window frame is used exclusively for timber window structures.

This type of decoration can be installed at any stage of the manufacture or operation of the window, even after its installation. The false binding is attached to a sealant or double-sided tape, which greatly simplifies this process.

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.

Features and varieties of false bindings

Decorative false binding is an overlay element that is attached to the glass from the outside or inside with glue or double-sided tape. Decorations do not affect the thermal conductivity and other performance characteristics of the window; they perform only decorative functions.

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 the 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.

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.

1. Plastic windows		2. Wooden windows
Plastic windows are the most popular type of window constructions. They are distinguished by excellent heat and sound insulation, tightness, ease of use and reasonable price.	Wooden windows are made of natural materials and combine living beauty, comfort, warmth of wood and excellent performance.

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. Through 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 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.

False binding on windows - let's figure it out

Outside layout or in other words false binding is a decorative overlay element (profile), which is attached from the outside to a glass unit or glass using a special adhesive base. This creates the illusion of binding.

It is glued at any time to finished windows on one side. And if with two, then symmetrically. The width of the layout in double-glazed windows can be 25 mm, 27 mm, 36 mm and 45 mm. The material is plastic, which is painted in a variety of colors. Installation can be done by hand.

The advantage of plastic windows with false binding (photo below) is its versatility, i.e. it is suitable for all types and sizes of windows. And also in the possibility of lamination of PVC strips similar to the tone of the window.

Wooden decorative layout on the window

The appearance of the windows will then give the interior an original and aristocratic design. An exquisite arch, mesh, ornament and other geometric shapes will subtly separate the translucent parts of the window structure.

Lattices for summer cottages - we ensure safety!

In order for your grilles on the windows to the dacha to really perform their protective function, it is worth checking them for compliance with several requirements:

The thickness of the rods should be at least 13-15 mm.
All places where the rods intersect must be fixed by welding - this will not make it possible, having cut off one rod, quickly bend the others.
Make sure that the distance between the rods does not exceed 15 by 15 cm.
For lower floors, it is better to opt for reliable stationary grilles.
At the same time, at least one grate must remain sliding in case of fire.

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 spros 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).

Decorative aluminum layout

Many companies are mainly engaged in the sale of decorative plastic layouts or aluminum, made in such colors as: chrome, white, gold and chocolate.

Shprossy and false binding can be bought in many online stores. So, for example, shpros (decorative layout for windows) can be purchased in the Terra Windows online store (https://terraokna.ru/shprosi-dekorativnaya-raskaldka.html) from 500 rubles. per sq. m. Or on the sites: https://www.argo-pvc.ru/articles/kupit_shprosy_dlja_okon/ and https://dekorativnaya-raskladka.ru/.

And on the website "CM-Komplekt" (https://www.sm-komplekt.ru/falsh-pereplety#sm-tab-1) windows with false binding, the price (per car) of the latter varies from 80 rubles. up to 320 rubles Or on the website "Decor Kit" (https://skd-dekor.ru/falsh-pereplety/) more expensive - from 90 rubles. up to 460 rubles.

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 the vast 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;
the 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.

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.

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.

Windows with decorative Viennese layout

Typical false binding

It has different widths - 18 mm, 26 mm or 45 mm. The bindings can be made both by painting and dyeing. Colored films are also used.

A double false binding design is possible when the inner and outer sides have different colors. When choosing a finishing method for such layouts, you should not overload them with different decorative elements, because this can disrupt the overall exterior of the home. Moreover, excessive decoration will inevitably interfere with the usual daylight of the premises.
