What is important to know before installing facade glazing

Facade glazing is a complex engineering system that is responsible for both the appearance of the building and its operational characteristics. Before starting a project, it is necessary to clearly define the architectural concept and technical requirements: the shape and size of the stained glass windows, the color scheme of the profiles, the level of transparency and protection from ultraviolet radiation. It is important to take into account the ratio of glass surfaces and solid elements of the facade in order to maintain a balance between aesthetics and energy efficiency.

When choosing a glazing system, first of all, pay attention to the wind and snow load in a particular region. In Uzbekistan, temperature changes and gusty winds create significant dynamic effects, so the profiles must be designed for the appropriate strength class. Mounting elements - anchors, fastening profiles, seals - are selected taking into account the standards of SP and GOST, and the calculations are performed by licensed designers, which guarantees the safety and durability of the structure.

It is equally important to choose the right type of double-glazed windows. Multifunctional solutions are usually used for facades: energy-saving glass with a low-emission coating, tinted options to reduce solar heating, as well as laminated or tempered units to increase mechanical strength and sound insulation. The thickness and number of chambers in a glass unit affect the heat transfer coefficient and the level of noise insulation, so these parameters are agreed upon with the architect and design engineer at the stage of preparing the technical specifications.

The quality of installation work often determines the service life of facade glazing. Incorrect sealing of seams leads to the accumulation of moisture inside the profile, and the absence of expansion joints causes deformation of frames and cracking of glass. IMZO specialists use proven technological installation schemes taking into account the thermal expansion of aluminum profiles, use special vapor and waterproofing tapes and strictly control the evenness of the installation row. The final adjustment of the sashes and the inspection of the seals are carried out after the building has completely settled and the weather conditions have stabilized.

Integration of the facade glazing into the building's utility networks is another important aspect. The system can be linked to a "smart home" for automatic ventilation or monitoring of the tightness state, and also include external sun blinds and vertical slats controlled by light sensors. When designing, cable routing for sensors, a blind drive, and an access control system are taken into account so as not to disrupt the tightness and structure of the facade.

The economic calculation of the project should include not only the cost of materials and installation, but also operating costs - ventilation, cleaning of facade glass, possible repairs. IMZO aluminum systems are characterized by low maintenance requirements and high wear resistance of powder paint coating, which reduces the need for restoration and allows you to maintain a presentable appearance of the building without significant costs.

Finally, before installing façade glazing, it is important to organize comprehensive project support: from the author's supervision of installation to the conclusion of a service contract for regular maintenance. This approach ensures compliance with deadlines, accuracy of work and warranty coverage of all structural components. Transparency of each stage - from analysis of the load-bearing capacity of beams to acceptance of the finished façade - allows you to avoid hidden defects and guarantees that the result will meet the customer's expectations.
