Residential houses with round windows. A large building with round windows underground. In addition, you can also order

The Internet has allowed us to group by interests and to turn our vague doubts into clear suspicions. Among the researchers of alternative history, a direction has emerged that collects facts about houses that are too heavily covered with homogeneous soil. Official history claims that this is a cultural layer, but worldly logic suggests that not everything is so simple. Looking at photographs of such houses, I began to pay attention to the detail in the form of an even circle in the element of the architecture of old houses. I propose to look up and go through a logical chain of reasoning with me.

So, let's start with a harmless definition from Wikipedia:

In architecture, the following types of dormer windows are distinguished:
FROM flat roof and handwriting;
- quadrangular with pitched roof;
- from gable roof;
- with a hip roof;
- triangular;
- with a trapezoidal roof (panoramic);
- segmented;
- semi-circular bat»);
- glass;
- attic (inclined) .

I note that the universal encyclopedia ignores round window shape is the first call. Next, google for query " round dormer window shyly shows a picture

It is already warmer, although the circle with blinds is confusing. But let's move on to practice and call on copyright photos and logic to help.

A frequent picture - a round window is glazed and is the frontal part of the attic. Question - what illuminates and ventilates such a window? Why is it there? For beauty? Perhaps, yes, it looks very nice in the center - but the neighboring round window breaks this logic. It is inconveniently located and generally meaningless. Let's keep watching

Five holes in one photo. However, the architects-entertainers, cleared up. But let's make it harder

The question is - what illuminates and ventilates this small round window at the very top? What is a portal to another world? The skeptical part of the mind will say that this is an element of architecture, this is beautiful, this is aesthetics. Oh is it? Let's use the first key to the cipher:

I present to your attention the wall of the factory: no aesthetics, the most ordinary rationalism. What do we see? In the boundless brick wall there is a special place for circles! Nowadays they Not needed, so they are bricked up. But during the construction they were needed, and even as needed - in large quantities. We turn on Occam's razor and look for the simplest explanation. From rectangular bricks were diligently collected round hole. There are circles at the house and at the factory, there are few of them at the house and they are small, at the factory there are a lot of them and they are bigger. What's this?

Answer: THIS IS THE ENTRANCE HOLES!

For what? What does a house need in small quantities and a factory in large quantities?

answer: ENERGY!

We support our conclusions:

And the house is warm and light. Mentally draw a pipe into this hole.

And here there was a hole, but it floated away - it was plastered and turned into a decorative element.

It's harder here, but when you know what to look for, you'll find it. There were three entry points in this house, they were lazily destroyed, leaving the skeleton. Ears stick out, in every sense. Also pay attention to the covered first floor, ridiculous doors in relation to windows. The building is clearly from that era, about which we know nothing. Let's look at the second key to the cipher:

Clock! In the attic. Or on the roof. In general, at home. Again we take out the razor of Occam's grandfather and cut it to the quick: a civilization that used energy much cooler than ours would not put clocks on the roof, they are not needed there ( strictly between us, they are not needed there even now). Those people checked the time somehow more technologically. But the story is presented to us in such a way that supposedly earlier people were more backward compared to us, so they walked the streets like that stupidly and checked the time on the big street clocks, when it was already possible to go to the square to sell bast shoes. But the razor is strict and tells us what happened technological downgrade, and these watches are now simply plugged and thus justify especially large, but at the same time perfectly round holes! The watch is very milestone in the investigation, still useful. Let's look further:

Question to the club of connoisseurs - why a perfectly round hole in a tower with windows? Why did the ancients stubbornly mold circles out of bricks?

If there is a flock, there is also a shepherd. Where did the energy come from, where was it generated? I fell asleep with this question. And I had a dream. And the Devil appeared to me in a dream. And this Mephistopheles says: "Energy was produced in buildings with domes (for energy storage) and holes in all 4 directions (for energy distribution)".

But I told him: "Get down, evil spirits, don't tempt me!" And he was gone.
But the clock again prompted me to think

Here, for example, is the "energy station" that fed such a sickly area of London. Judging by the size of the holes under the clock, they generated a lot of energy. Height seems to have been a factor as well - pitch went from high to low element.

Summing up: before us lived people more savvy in the energy sector. They did not grieve until they were covered with soil. History was falsified and for the especially curious they took the "first photographs in the history of mankind", where a bearded dirty people in the amount of one and a half diggers stand with wheelbarrows and shovels near ready-made palaces, houses, streets and avenues in all cities on all continents. Like these guys built it all.

We are not able (or we are not allowed) to comprehend the old energy technology, and we only imitate their necessary elements in their construction ( round windows are rarely made in modern houses, but if they do, they are usually with a cross-shaped crossbar). Now we make small rectangular windows, before we used to make large ones in the form of arches. Arches, columns, domes, round holes, scope during construction - these are signs of that era

The energy was most likely the one that dabbled in Nikola Tesla. She immediately gave lighting and heat, so most often one entry point was enough for the whole house. Sometimes they made portable dome-shaped stations right on the house with distributors on 2 sides

Homework for inquisitive minds:
In any city with a historical center of 70 years or more, there are houses with round holes in different hard-to-reach places. If you are not too lazy to raise your head up, clear your mind of everything you know, and just work as an information gatherer, then you will find some signs in 90% of such houses:

round holes of different diameters (main element)
in houses with these holes, either old brick
either windows in the form of arches (arches are a sign of that era)
or ground floor
either a round window and not a window at all, but a through hole
or it is already sealed and it is hard to see

If you are an inquisitive mind, but a resident of a city with a history of no more than 40-60 years, then welcome to Google maps: take any city and "walk" in search of holes. Here, for example, Paris:

In the Vatican, the clock is twice - on the right and on the left, in order to know the exact time

On this fabrication I will finish, I hope, I have raised doubts in the world around me. Thanks for attention!

Fortunately for most modern city dwellers, today's homes boast a wide variety of architectural designs.

The time has passed when all houses looked exactly the same - now a rare architect does not strive to demonstrate to others his vision of a truly bright and aesthetically pleasing beautiful home. And I must say, they succeed in this. In particular, when they begin to decorate houses with the help of non-standard window openings, namely, those that are not based on the usual four corners, but ... more, or less, or do not have them at all. In particular, round windows have become very popular today, but not from wood, but from plastic.

Such a window most often becomes deaf, that is, unable to open. As a result, it is not so much a practical element of the interior as a decorative decoration that makes it possible to observe the street through it. It is impossible to use such a window to ventilate the room. But they, as a rule, are ideally able to fit into the interior of your premises, as well as the design of the external facade of the building. It must be said that non-opening windows are not a whim of civil engineers, but rather a concession and compromise, since the profile, bent into an arc, does not allow the sash to fit snugly against the frame. As a result, the user of the window will not be able to achieve a sufficient thermal insulation value.

I must say that it is the plastic window that has a significant limitation - the radius. The whole point here is that the plastic profile, which serves as the basis, is limited to the smallest bending radius. This means that even your blind window cannot be too small. And from the maximum side, the radius is limited by the weight of the window - the sash should not be heavier than eighty kilograms.

However, plastic, it is, in most cases, boring, although relatively cheap. Much more fun - round stained-glass windows, they are often used to diversify the interior of a cottage or a private house. However, stained-glass windows can be found today in a modern city apartment. A stained-glass window in the form of a round porthole is an excellent solution for anyone who wants to achieve a truly unique interior and exterior. Just do not forget that the process of installing a round window is a process several times more complicated than installing a regular rectangular one. And if you decide to get window frame in the form of a circle, oval or other rounded geometric object - contact the professionals who will initially take matters into their own hands - they will make a round window, regardless of the degree of complexity of the work, the size of the window or the features of the future stained glass pattern.

What is good stained glass? It allows you to admire the painted walls, at the moment when sunlight passes through the window and is transformed, thanks to multi-colored inlaid drawings on the glass.

In other words, round stained glass window- it's excellent design solution and they are becoming more and more popular these days. Most often, windows of this kind are used in attic or attic rooms, for the simple reason that the installation of large windows on the lower floors is required, and it will not work to install a round window of an excessively large radius. It is difficult, expensive and unjustified from an economic point of view. By the way, stained-glass round windows can also be seen in swimming pools, bathrooms, saunas.

How to choose round windows

First, you should know that they come in wood, PVC, or aluminum. Actually, PVC windows have already been mentioned above, wooden windows are the most ancient on earth, since wood is the most obvious material for their manufacture, but also more expensive today. As for round aluminum profile windows, you should know that aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, which means that it makes sense to use it only where good thermal insulation is not required.

We have already said above that there are deaf round windows, but there are also opening ones, right? Let's say a few words about them. Advantage of opening round window to let fresh air into the room. A minus - low resistance to penetration. And by the way, it is not recommended to install stained-glass windows that are too heavy on opening round windows, simply because they are most often suspended on one hinge, which means that they can break off from it, under the weight of the decoration.

By the way, round windows are not only consisting of one single whole sash - it can also consist of halves, that is, semicircular sashes. And the use of such windows is recommended if you want to install a large window - two sashes will be twice as light as one large one. This is the easiest, most affordable and convenient option a round window, as it can not only provide excellent filling of the room with light, but also allow you to ventilate the room.

If earlier a round window most often served as a functional element roof space, but now the scope of these products has expanded significantly. Today, such structures are increasingly decorating the facades of buildings and using them to create original interiors. A house with round windows looks much more interesting and respectable than buildings with standard rectangular openings. Since there are several varieties of these designs, it is necessary to have a basic minimum of knowledge about their features and differences. This article contains all the necessary information about models with a round frame, which will help you make the right choice during the buying process.

Since round windows are called differently, it is desirable to know the terms that are additionally used to refer to them. This will help avoid confusion and misunderstandings. Such products may be called a "rose" or "Gothic rose", and sometimes also a porthole. Also, when using the term "dormer window", most often they mean exactly the round structure.

The choice of material for round windows

Currently, for the manufacture of round frames and sashes, PVC or aluminum profiles, as well as natural wood, are used. Radial shapes are given to these structures different ways, and their characteristics have some differences. In order not to make a mistake when choosing, you need to find out the main properties of each of the listed materials.

Round plastic windows

These models are the most popular, which is explained by good performance and unpretentiousness in operation. Round plastic windows manufactured using thermal bending technology. In a special chamber, the profiles are heated and then, using pre-prepared templates, give them the desired shape on a table with a perfectly smooth surface. The hardened plastic does not straighten and retains its former properties. Thanks to this, round structures are successfully made from it, which have many advantages:

high level of noise absorption;
energy efficiency;
durability - up to 50 years;
color fastness;
tightness.

This method has one drawback - it is impossible to reinforce frames and sashes. This is due to the fact that it is impossible to bend softened PVC together with hard metal. It is also impossible to insert a radius insert into a frozen bent plastic blank, therefore the rigidity of such structures depends entirely on the properties of the PVC profile. As a result, overall products without internal jumpers have a risk of deformations that can provoke depressurization.

To make large round windows, PVC profiles are rarely reinforced. By special technology- it is more labor intensive and expensive. A special reinforcing tab is used to give rigidity. It, along with the profile, softens in a thermal bath, since it is made of a composite material that can change its rigidity. After heat treatment, the inner liner is quickly and accurately inserted into the profile chamber. The rest of the sequence of actions is exactly the same as in the manufacture of round windows without reinforcement.

A machine has already been developed and is being produced, capable of giving curved shapes to plastic profiles without placing them in a thermal bath. Bending is carried out using 3 plastic rollers and a hair dryer, which heats the PVC minimally. This equipment gives hope for the early emergence of an affordable technology for reinforcing round windows.

Round aluminum windows

Depending on energy efficiency requirements, a round aluminum window can be made from both cold and warm profiles. This allows you not to overpay when products are ordered for installation in unheated rooms. Unlike cold windows, which are entirely made of aluminum, warm windows are made from profile systems with an additional liner made of polymer material. This element has a low thermal conductivity, which helps without extra costs maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

Cold and warm windows are made using roll forming equipment, which allows you to give metal blanks the desired shape. This technology is based on the fact that aluminum profiles are passed through a system of rollers. Under the influence of a uniformly distributed external force, after a certain number of cycles, the molded elements become curved. Due to the properties of aluminum, round windows made of this material have the following advantages:

long service life - from 80 to 100 years;
high rigidity and resistance to deformation;
ability to withstand external mechanical stress well.

A conditional disadvantage is the price factor - a round aluminum window sometimes costs 2 times more than plastic products. However, this is fully offset by the strength and durability. metal structures.

Round wooden windows

round window in a wooden house or an expensive brick cottage it looks more solid than analogues made of plastic or aluminum, so property owners prefer to order just such models. Theoretically, these products can be made in 2 ways - by bending a single bar and by splicing individual small bars (plots). However, in reality, almost all manufacturers use only the second option, since the first method is very long and costly. In addition, a bent profile made of solid timber has a high tendency to deformation, which is unacceptable for windows.

Frames and sashes made of solid wood, hold their shape well. Modern technologies joints, sanding and finishing make it possible to mask the joints well, so round wooden windows look like a one-piece structure. The advantages of such models are well known:

environmental friendliness;
service life up to 100 years;
excellent thermal insulation and sound absorption.

Lack of wooden windows is that the outer coating will have to be updated sooner or later. The service life of factory paint on the outside depends on the class of products. For economy-class windows, they are 5-8 years, for premium-category models - from 25 years. It should also be borne in mind that if the manufacturer violates wood processing technologies, products may change shape during operation.

Blind or opening windows

Since the vast majority of such models are made to order, the client can independently determine the method of opening. Usually the choice is made from 4 options:

When considering the functional characteristics of models with opening doors, it is recommended to focus on the data from the table.

opening type	Individual characteristics
Openable top or bottom window	They allow to ventilate the premises and, thanks to an additional jumper, have increased rigidity. However, during operation it is not always convenient to lower or raise the active sash. Also, with large dimensions of the structure, it may be difficult to access the entire outer part of the double-glazed window while washing windows.
With hinged doors	Such a round window functions in much the same way as a regular rectangular model. The number of active leaves is determined by the customer. It is possible to integrate rectangular vents into a round structure. In doing so, it must be taken into account that a large number of vertical or horizontal mullions reduces the light transmission of windows. With an insufficient number of active leaflets and their small sizes access to the outer part of the double-glazed windows is difficult.
mid-hung	A convenient model that allows you to easily ventilate the premises and wash the double-glazed window. Thanks to the improved fittings, even the overall sashes move easily when opened. Such models provide ideal air circulation when ventilating the premises.

If it is decided to choose a model without active doors, it must be taken into account that blind structures can only be washed from the back. It is also undesirable to make a round one deaf - read more about this at OknaTrade.

Round window sizes

In view of the peculiarities of manufacturing and operation, the dimensions of round windows differ from the dimensions of rectangular windows. This parameter is also influenced by the material of manufacture.

The material from which the windows are made	PVC	Wood	Aluminum
Max size with flaps (mm)	4600	3500	4000
Minimum size with blind leaves (mm)	800	500	700
Maximum size with blind leaves (mm)	2000	1800	3000
Minimum size with flaps (mm)	1080	1000	900

As manufacturers work with different types profiles and wood species, the maximum and minimum diameters of round windows may vary.

In view of the existence of restrictions on the size of these products, a round window in a brick wall or concrete plane must be designed at the construction stage of the building. After all, adapting the dimensions of the opening will be too difficult or completely impossible.

Decoration of round windows

Although these models decorate and enliven the interior design by themselves, in some cases they need to be completed with additional elements. The main purpose of such an event is to limit the flow sunlight and provide privacy, but sometimes the aesthetic factor is also taken into account. There are 3 most popular ways to decorate round windows beautifully.

Blinds

You can install classic blinds on round windows, but you need to be prepared that they will be more expensive than rectangular counterparts. After all, the dimensions of all horizontal slats are not the same, and the technology for installing the structure is complicated by its shape.

Pleated blinds

Pleated blinds are popular in the design of radius structures. They are also made according to a template, but the production process of such products is simpler. Choosing this option for decorating and darkening windows will allow you to easily choose the material that is ideal for the interior.

Curtains

You can creatively approach the solution of the problem, you can decorate the window with curtains on round windows. In this case, it is recommended to choose an original cornice and show imagination in the process of attaching strips of fabric. To fix the curtains, it makes sense to choose separate fasteners, with which it is easy to repeat the radius contour of the opening.

Where can I order round windows

In order not to waste time searching for a responsible executor of an order for the manufacture of windows, we recommend using the information on the OknaTrade portal. We have collected in one place information about the leading manufacturers of the region, so that buyers can quickly study the range and conditions. Since we publish information only about trusted companies, the risk of falling into the hands of scammers is minimized.

On the picture Wooden house with round window
Exterior wooden house round window in the evening

Wooden house with a round window, designed by PascalFlammerArchitect, located in Balsthal, Switzerland. In shape, it resembles an ordinary barn with several floors located both below and above the ground. The entrance hall and living rooms are located on the first floor, which is buried 7.5 m below ground level, and the living rooms are on the second floor, 15 m above the ground. There is also a third floor in the uppermost part under a roof with steep slopes. All wood and glass, the house is fully glazed on the lower level and at the ends on the second floor, and the side walls of the second floor are sheathed in wood, with the exception of round windows located in the center of the facade. At dusk, when the lights are on in the house, the round window looks quite surreal - like the moon rising over the forest.

When in the evening all the lights are turned on in the house, it is completely exposed to the outside world, but since there are only wheat fields and forest around the house, nothing violates the privacy of the life of the owners.
