The window between the bathroom and the kitchen in Khrushchev: why is it needed, how to remove it, or is it interesting to design

Installing new windows in an apartment or house allows you to quickly solve several problems. Replacing old window structures will improve sound insulation, significantly reduce heat loss, and improve tightness. When making a replacement, first of all, it is necessary to make the correct measurements to make a structure suitable for the opening. When taking measurements, they adhere to the accepted measurement technology, for this you need to know how to calculate the windows for the opening. Installation of windows in Khrushchev, is carried out taking into account the peculiarities of these buildings.

Window size in Khrushchev

Window size in Khrushchev
(five-story building) depends on the design option of the house. In most cases, the sizes of windows in panel Khrushchevs of all series are the same (including block ones), but they may slightly differ in height from the sizes of windows in brick five-story buildings and panel houses of the first mass series (or rare experimental series).

The size of the windows in the panel Khrushchev is standardized for all modifications and series of panel "five-story buildings" built in the 1950s-1960s. The system of planned construction with the production of building panels at specialized factories (concrete goods), according to the dimensions uniform for the whole USSR, implied standard window sizes. That eliminated the differences between the first series and the differences between the series of brick houses. But GOST meant options for constructive deviations. And some buildings may have slight differences in window sizes (for example: in the block series II-17 or the first panel II-32). Most often in Moscow, there are five-story buildings of the I-515 series, since the more outdated series of Khrushchevs fell under the demolition program and less than 10% of those built in Moscow remained outdated series of five-story buildings.

Standard sizes of windows in panel Khrushchev

Standard (most common) sizes of plastic windows in Khrushchev series I-515/5 (1-515 / 5) for Moscow and the Moscow region:

Dimensions of the kitchen window and rooms in Khrushchev

Dimensions of the Khrushchev balcony window with a side door.

Dimensions of the Khrushchev balcony window with a central door.

Dimensions of windows in brick Khrushchev

The sizes of windows in brick Khrushchev may have differences in height due to the construction of the window sill, or have differences in dimensions due to the non-standard design of individual buildings (it is rare). The most common option for the size of windows in brick houses Khrushchev:

  • The width of the double-leaf window is 145 cm, the height is 150 cm;
  • Three-leaf window width - 205 cm, height 150 cm;

Attention! It is necessary to take into account the existing variety of Khrushchev designs in Moscow and the Moscow region, the variety of window options and their sizes. In addition, various individual changes in the design of the windows are possible, made by the residents themselves over the long years of operation of the houses. We strongly recommend that you consult with our specialists, call a measurer (the measurer's departure is free).

The cost of windows for Khrushchev:

  • Examples of the cost of plastic windows for Khrushchev series I-515 (The cost is indicated for windows with their turnkey installation, design option, fittings and equipment).
  • Examples of the cost of plastic windows for Khrushchev series I-510 (The cost is indicated with the installation of a window, a ready-made version of the functionality of the structure, fittings and a turnkey package).

Inexpensive plastic windows

with a window frame width of 58-60 mm are presented in a series of economy windows and belong to the category of cheap plastic windows.

Plastic windows in Khrushchev

- the series of these houses had many design flaws. Taking into account their aging (more than 50 years), new plastic must meet a number of requirements.

How to measure the window yourself?

If you cannot find the documents and find out the series of your house, try to measure the opening yourself. You can use the received data to calculate the price using a calculator, as well as when ordering a calculation by phone. Before ordering the service, you will still need to call the measurer. He not only accurately takes all measurements, but also assesses the situation, and in case of its non-standard, he will prepare additional information for production.

How to make measurements correctly:

  • use a level at every stage;
  • take measurements from inside and outside the apartment;
  • measure height, width and depth;
  • determine the dimensions according to the formula - height minus 5 cm, width minus 3 cm (such tolerances are necessary for convenient installation, the slots are closed with foam).

When measuring, it should be taken into account that a support profile is most likely fastened to the window frame from below, and its height should also be taken into account when calculating the height of the future structure. It is also important to check - measure the window at three control points (for example, the width at the top, middle and bottom) and select the minimum value to avoid cases when the window does not fit through the opening.

From all of the above, we can conclude that window openings in a five-story building, as well as in a nine-story, twelve-story and more, may have different sizes depending on the series of the house. Also, even the windows in neighboring apartments may differ slightly in size. For an initial comparison of prices in several companies, standard measurements are sufficient, but before ordering, the measurer must receive accurate data to take into account all the distortions made at the stage of slab production or finishing.

Dimensions of windows in brick and panel Khrushchev

When creating a project for buildings of various purposes and types, the dimensions of the openings for windows are set in strict accordance with the requirements for indoor illumination. This requirement is directly related to the dimensions of the building, its dimensions, location, light characteristics of the ratio of the window opening and the area of ​​the room, and so on.
The ratio of the window opening to the area of ​​the room is regulated by SNiP P-A862 ("Building codes and regulations"). Such requirements are not mandatory, but serve as indicative when drawing up projects of buildings and their construction.

Window openings in accordance with GOST

According to SNiP, the windows must comply with the norms of light transmission. This factor is significantly influenced by:

  • the number of glasses installed;
  • distance between glasses.

Typical dimensional norms are clearly spelled out in GOST, but do not forget that such parameters of windows in Khrushchev are optimal, but not the only possible ones. There are no restrictions on the size of windows for residential buildings, since modern technologies make it possible to manufacture window frames of any size suitable for a particular building. The standard dimensions of the end are calculated in accordance with the optimal combination of many parameters, the main one of which is light transmittance. GOST includes coordinating modular and overall window dimensions, which are most often used in standard design and in the mass construction of residential premises.

Window sill functions

At first glance, this is just a stand for flower pots or something else.It is also possible to sit by the window, rest your elbows on the windowsill and look into the distance. But the window sill has other functions that you should definitely consider. Namely:

  • condensation protection;
  • an increase in the air gap in the window area;
  • participation in the overall design of the premises.

When compiling the standard for window sills, they relied on this. As for some decorative differences, this is already a matter of personal preference. The main thing is that the product fulfills its main functions.

Of course, the thickness of the window sill and its length and width are also important.

It is required to comply with the rules in relation to the material. However, perhaps the most important thing in the entire installation process is to correctly choose the height from the floor. Not only the appearance and comfort of use depends on this, but also the condition of the window and the climate in the room.

Also, do not forget that heating radiators are usually located under the windows. For them, it is required to leave a place so that the distance from the radiator to the floor and to the window sill corresponds to GOST. Only in this case there will be no problems with either the climate or the security of the premises.

Window size in residential buildings

Window openings in residential buildings do not always correspond to standard sizes. These parameters may differ depending on:

  • type of residential building;
  • year of construction of the house.

Since it is not always possible to independently calculate the size of windows in Khrushchev, you should contact professional measurers to measure the height and width of a window opening.

Windows in panel houses

Residential premises - panel houses - are considered to be typical, standard buildings. However, the parameters of the windows in them are also not always the same - the dimensional spread can reach up to 15 centimeters. An accurate calculation of the size of a window in a panel house can only be made by making measurements.
Of course, there are standard window sizes that designers strive for when drawing up a house project:

  • the double-leaf structure according to the standards has a length of 130 cm and 140 cm;
  • a tricuspid standard window can be 205 cm or 207 cm wide, and in height it does not differ from a bivalve one - 140 cm.

Windows in houses - "Khrushchev"

The dimensional characteristics of windows in brick Khrushchev depend primarily on the width of the window sill. If the windowsills are wide, then:

  • a standard double-leaf window is 145 cm wide and 150 cm high;
  • the standard tricuspid window will be 150 cm high and 204 wide.

If the window sills are not wide, then the dimensions, as a rule, will be as follows:

  • 135 cm high and 130 cm wide for double-leaf apertures;
  • 204 cm wide and 135 cm high.

Common series of typical houses

The P-44 series are popular high-rise buildings made of concrete panels with a good layout, for which they were in demand on the market. The buildings have 9-25 storeys, apartments can be 1, 2, 3-room. The length and width of the plastic window in the room are 147x142 and 176x142cm, for the balcony block —116xx142 cm + door 70x216 cm.

The P-44-T series is made of better materials, the apartments themselves are larger, and in general, the premises in public and residential areas are better planned. Windows in panel houses of this type have different dimensions than in P-44. The window in the room has a size of 146x142 cm, in the kitchen 116x142 cm + door 68x216 cm. This model also has windows with a bay window in the kitchen. In two-room apartments their size is 94x142 and 94x142 cm, in three-room apartments 74x142 cm, 230x142 cm, 74x142 cm.

The P-30 series has thicker walls than the previous ones and high ceilings. The number of storeys of such buildings is 12-14. Dimensions for the room - 208x142 cm, for the kitchen 147x142 cm, for the loggia 87x142 cm + door: 70x218cm.

Series P-43 - brezhnevka with low ceilings and small rooms. The window in her room measures 174x140 cm, in the kitchen with a loggia: 116x140 + door: 67x216 cm.

You can still remember for a long time five-story panel houses, housing of a new layout, non-standard series. From the examples already given, it is obvious that in almost every building the dimensions of the openings will be different. Before making a preliminary calculation of the price, you need to find a house of your series and look at the documents.

Plastic glazing: selection and characteristics

Most of the residents of the private sector and apartments complain about the high audibility of street noise and low thermal insulation in apartments. The installation of plastic window structures will help to cope with these problems. Plastic glazing has some features that need to be considered:

  • geometry - an incorrectly installed window will not eliminate drafts and noise;
  • ventilation system - it is worth supplementing the standard equipment with additional functions;
  • on the lower floors, it is advisable to install shockproof glazing and fittings that protect against burglary.

The sizes of plastic windows can be any, modern production is able to provide consumers with the desired product. Standard sizes of produced windows for Khrushchev, as a rule, block window:

  • double-leaf window - 131 cm wide and 152 cm high;
  • balcony opening: 152 cm by 152 cm and balcony door: 227 cm high and 78 cm wide.

External glazing

Windows for external glazing of balconies and loggias are produced in any size. In the case of determining the parameters of the window, the slope of the roof plays a fundamental role. Accordingly, the flatter the roof slope, the higher the window will be. The height of the window should provide maximum illumination of openings and visibility. The width of the windows for external glazing must match the width of the balcony.
Balcony glazing from the street side requires preliminary preparation:

  • the balcony slab should be pre-reinforced with a concrete screed and reinforcement;
  • the balcony frame and railings need complete replacement or high-quality reinforcement.

Exterior glazing in private houses should be trusted exclusively by professionals, since self-assembly can lead to displacement of the supporting structure and cause deformation of the structure or its collapse.

The size of window openings in private houses is not regulated by anything and is determined solely by the drafter. In this case, the determination of the real size of the window is carried out only by careful measurement.

The size of the windows in Khrushchev - panel, brick

Good afternoon dear friends. In the first years of our company's work, it was not yet accepted to take measurements for free. Why? Because, in fact, there was no competition. Remember, everything free starts when a service or product is already offered on every corner.

And almost 10 years ago, we were the first in the city to make measurements free of charge, after an unpleasant situation, which, by the way. gave us a lot of advantages. We put windows in one Khrushchev building. And the customer decided not to waste time on measurements (and at that time not to waste money) and ordered the same windows in her other apartment.

There was a turn when the windows turned out to be larger than the opening ... As if the customer was to blame, but then we went to meet, made it free of charge according to its size, and she then spread it all over the city by word of mouth. They talked about us only as "those guys who measure windows for free."

In order not to find yourself in such a situation, study the sizes of the windows, and be sure to call the measurer, even if you are sure that you have all the required sizes. It's free now.

Installation of metal-plastic windows

Stage one - remove the old window

We can say that the size of the windows in the brick Khrushchev and the size of the windows in the panel Khrushchev are approximately the same:

  • in width they are 113-114 cm, and in height - 136 cm, plus a window sill - these indicators may fluctuate, since the frame is still overlapped by the slopes;
  • if we are talking about a balcony block, then it is also added there - it has about 212 cm in height, and 64 cm in width along with the box;
  • on the first floors, where the balcony blocks do not make sense, the windows are much wider - about 185 cm, but again, a lot depends on the slopes;
  • in order to install plastic windows in Khrushchev, you first have to remove the wooden ones. And the more carefully you do it, the easier the installation will be;
  • ideally, you can stretch the frame so that only a depression along its width remains - in this case, you can safely take dimensions from the old window and make the plastic the same;
  • I had to meet with the dismantling of would-be craftsmen who unfold the slopes to such an extent that they then have to be laid with bricks. Old slopes in Khrushchev are made, as a rule, of lime-sand mortar and whitewashed with lime;
  • to putty the slopes, you just need to remove the lime with a metal spatula and cover them with a primer. In most cases, beacons are not installed - only perforated corners at the edges, and that is why careful dismantling is needed.

When dismantling wooden windows, you will find glass wool, an early instruction provided for such insulation, but you no longer need it. Remove it carefully, and then the gaps are filled with polyurethane foam.

Stage two - installation of a plastic window

Installing a window in the kitchen or bedroom, that is, without a balcony block, is quite easy:

  • the frame is usually attached to the opening with metal hangers with perforation;
  • the window is level and blown out with foam;
  • after that you simply cannot pull it out. And here the installation price does not matter at all - the foam fixes the frame, and then it is also fixed with slopes (putty or clamps the profile); By the way, the most final fastening is putty or plaster - this method of fastening is the most reliable and holds the window very well.
  • first, only the frame is installed - transoms and glasses are installed later when the frame is fully fixed in the slopes;

There is one very important point here - you blow out the installation with polyurethane foam, insert all the moving parts and only after 6-8 hours can you open them so that the foam does not deform the profile. Even the German WINBAU or REHAU, which is considered the thickest (7-8 cm each) under the pressure of the foam, can bend, and your window will turn out to be deformed.

  • the glass is inserted into the frame quite easily - the package is pressed with profiles (glazing beads), which are hammered in with a rubber hammer;
  • these same glazing beads are simply snapped in with their own hands, and the corners are cut by the manufacturer, so it will be very easy to insert them, the main thing is not to confuse the order of setting.

I would also like to tell you about the installation of such windows in a metal subframe, which is done on the balcony. The installation method is somewhat different here. In such cases, it is better to clamp the frame with self-tapping screws - it has special holes through which the screw passes. But there will be no slopes on the balcony (loggia) and all the gaps with foam are covered with interior decoration.

Stage three - slopes

Slopes are sometimes made of drywall, but I am far from a supporter of such actions. I will explain why - the fact is that the plane needs a gypsum board only if it is "broken", and I have already spoken about this - the old window must be removed carefully. In addition, I mentioned replacing glass wool with foam and you can see this in the photo above.

Before putty or plaster, all cracks must be sealed, and for this, polyurethane foam is used. However, you should be careful here - the foam works very powerfully like a spacer, so it can even bend the window frame.

This is especially harsh under the windowsill - they are simply bent into an arc. To prevent this, there are methods and precautions: firstly, you cannot blow out a large amount of foam, and it is best to do it with a pistol. But with the advent of experience, you can work with a conventional spray can.

The usual window profile is 60 mm, although it can be more or less - the widest profiles, as a rule, for the Germans are REHAU or WINBAU. By the way, they can also be the thickest.

And the thickness is already the power of the glass unit, that is, it can be single, double, triple and even quadruple.Between the glasses there can also be a special mixture in the form of paraffin and glycerin - as the manufacturers assure, it almost completely removes noise and is thermal insulation.

Let's go back to the slopes - as a rule, they overlap the profile by about 20 mm, so that you have about 40 mm in sight, which is quite enough. Again I want to repeat - if the old wooden windows were removed carefully, then the putty can be made without beacons according to the old parameters. Although it will be necessary (preferably) to use perforated metal corners.

If the width of the slope with wooden windows turns out to be about 24-25 cm, then with plastic windows it will already be about 34-35 cm, since the plastic goes in one layer, and the tree goes in a double box.

Nevertheless, the appearance will not change from this and the design of the one-room Khrushchev with two windows will remain the same, and it can be either a two-room or a three-room apartment.

What are the sizes of windows in Khrushchev?

Most residential buildings are equipped with windows of standard size: this makes it easier to choose a structure and replace it. However, modern buildings have completely different standards, and the size of the window in the Khrushchev can differ significantly from the modern one. If you decide to replace a glass unit in an old building, you need to accurately measure the parameters.

For buildings of the "new layout" type

Characteristics of the structure:

Houses of modern architecture began to be massively built from the end of the last century. They differ from previous projects not only externally, but also internally. Such buildings always have an impressive number of storeys, they can often be single-entrance "candles" with individual design of facades. In projects, the standard parameters of windows are laid, but balconies or loggias can have a lot of differences - from bay windows to French balconies.

Inside the apartments there is a varied layout, which usually provides for more usable space and natural light.

Typical window parameters:

  • double-leaf windows - standard 1460 × 1430 mm;
  • three-leaf windows - standard 1780 × 1430 mm;
  • balcony block - standard for a window 800 × 1430 mm, for a door 750 × 2150 mm;
  • balcony glazing - 2500 × 1500 mm (straight), 800-1000 × 1500 and 2500-2800 × 1500 mm (L-shaped), 5 modules 750 × 1500 mm (bay window).

Does the size of the window in Khrushchev meet the GOST criteria?

SNiP requires that the windows let in a sufficient amount of light. This factor is influenced by:

The standard sizes of windows in Khrushchev quite well meet these requirements, but it is quite possible to replace them with more modern frames and double-glazed windows. The owner of the premises is not obliged to strictly comply with the requirements of GOST: the windows can be made larger or smaller at will. However, when choosing a structure for an old house, you will need to comply with the standard dimensions of windows in a Khrushchev, otherwise you will have to disassemble the wall, which does not always seem feasible.

Read on our website how PVC designer windows are created and what they are.

What the standards say

According to the criteria of the state standard, building codes and regulations stipulate that the window installed in the apartment must be able to transmit light in sufficient quantity. The light transmission factor is influenced by the installed glass unit, the number of glasses and the distance between them. The more glasses and the farther they are from each other, the lower the light transmission index. The standards of windows in Khrushchev fully meet the necessary requirements. However, the windows installed in such houses during construction are probably already outdated today, they let the cold through, create drafts and generally require replacement as soon as possible. Of course, you can change the old window for a new plastic one.

In general, the state standard prescribes the norms, adhering to which you can achieve maximum benefits for the living space. In turn, the owner is not obliged to strictly adhere to the norms of the state standard - if desired, the size of the window can be adjusted in one direction or another.However, when choosing a structure for an old house, you will have to reckon with the dimensions that were provided by the developers. If, nevertheless, there is a desire or need to change the preset dimensions, you will have to disassemble the wall to install a double-glazed window, and this task is not always feasible, especially in Khrushchev. You should find out about this in advance and calculate all the necessary work before contacting the company.

Optimal window sizes in panel Khrushchev

Developers offer various types of buildings that differ in design and have their own characteristics. Windows can be much larger than standard ones and have an unusual shape. Sometimes it is quite difficult to measure openings in such houses. The dimensions of windows in a panel Khrushchev also cannot always be measured independently with sufficient accuracy, therefore it is recommended to call a measurer from the company in which you are going to order the window. The main thing is that the room is light enough, therefore it is not recommended to reduce the size of the standard structure.

To measure the dimensions of windows in a panel Khrushchev, it is recommended to call a measurer.

Window dimensions in panel Khrushchev

Panel houses have typical living spaces, as the panels themselves are standardized. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the size of the windows may differ in such houses. The difference reaches 15 cm, which is why you have to make an individual measurement of each of them. The size of the window in the Khrushchev panel can also have some fluctuations even within the same structure.

In order to accurately find out the parameters of each opening, it will have to be measured. The standard dimensions specified by design engineers are usually as follows:

  • The height of the double-sided structure is 130 or 140 cm;
  • The width of the three-leaf window can be 205 and 207 cm.The height of the product is classic - 140 cm.

Features of Khrushchev

At one time, Khrushchev houses were built of two types: panel and brick. Brick buildings have thicker walls and, accordingly, wider slopes and window sills. Panel houses, on the other hand, have very thin walls.

The sizes of windows in Khrushchev can vary greatly even within the same apartment. The kitchen window is small, single-winged, in the largest room it is three-winged, and in the smaller rooms it has two wings. The standard sizes of windows in Khrushchev are proportional to the area of ​​the room. If the apartment has a balcony, the balcony block does not exceed 2 meters in width.

Features of windows in old houses

As a rule, the size of a standard window in a Khrushchev, built of bricks, is determined there by how wide the window sill is. If you have large window sills installed, then the dimensions will be as follows:

  • Double-winged window: height 150, width - 145 cm;
  • Three-leaf product: width will be 204, height - 150 cm.

If narrow window sills are installed (this window size in the Khrushchev in the kitchen can be found most often), then the dimensions will be as follows:

  • For a double-leaf structure, the width will be 130 cm, and the height is 135 cm.
  • A three-part window is 204 cm wide and 135 cm high.

Choosing a plastic window for Khrushchev

You can pick up plastic windows in Khrushchev: they will significantly increase the technical characteristics of the building, make the rooms warmer, brighter, and save you from drafts. When buying a plastic window, you need to consider the following:

  • Geometry: the window must be installed correctly, otherwise the problem of noise, cold and draft will not go away.
  • Ventilation: you can add this function to any standard window.
  • Burglary protection makes sense for lower floors.

The size of the windows in Khrushchev is somewhat different from modern standards, however, you can try to choose a ready-made block-window or order products of the required size from any company.

Decorative solutions for plastic windows

You can add attractiveness to plastic structures using decorative solutions. Lamination allows you to change the color of the profile. Today, lamination of plastic window blocks under a tree has gained particular popularity. In order to avoid prying people's views, you can resort to glass tinting. Using stained-glass windows and layouts will help turn windows into a work of art.
