French windows are particularly popular in recent years. Is the large glass French window worth installing?

In many online celebrity decoration cases, most of them will have floor-to-ceiling windows. Plus this panoramic French window, the space feels a lot higher at once! Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows are used to being called "big glass" when decorating. So, is the big glass worth installing? How much will it cost if it is installed? In response to these concerns, in this article, I want to sort out my own decoration experience and share it with netizens, telling everyone whether to choose to install large glass when decorating:

Core point of view: large glass French windows can really add light and high-grade feeling to the living room, but they are not suitable for all units. It is not recommended to blindly follow the trend to make big glass. If you really want to make a big glass, then you must read the following strategies, combine the actual situation of your family, weigh the pros and cons, and then make a rational decision.

1. Advantages of large glass French windows

Enhance the spacious sense of space and make the living room look atmospheric. The advantages of large glass French windows are actually obvious: the atmosphere is beautiful, transparent and bright. In particular, it can obviously improve the light in the living room, and at the same time enhance the sense of openness from a visual point of view, making the living room more atmospheric. Let the "beautiful scenery" outside the window enter the house and enhance the style and taste of the whole house. Large glass can show the scenery outside the window to the greatest extent. Even lying on the sofa, you can watch the sunrise and sunset and spend some flowers. The scenery is different all year round! This is also the ultimate pursuit of countless friends choosing big glass.

2. Disadvantages of large glass French windows

Expensive. Generally, as long as the size is too big for the elevator to enter, it can be counted as "big glass" at any time. Glass of this size needs to be customized directly in the processing factory, and the price of the material itself is expensive; Because it can't be carried by elevator or stairs, it needs a crane, so it will generate additional expenses; Moreover, due to its large size and heavy weight, it usually takes several people to cooperate to complete transportation and installation. Then, naturally, large glass French windows are expensive!

There are security risks. The most important thing is the problem of glass self-explosion or broken after being hit by external force. First of all, it is said that tempered glass has a 1 in 3,000 chance of self-explosion! On the Internet, there are also self-exposure incidents of large glass shared by netizens-followed by the breakage caused by external impact. After all, the essence is still glass, which has high hardness but is easily broken by external forces. If the risk of glass breakage before installation can be borne by the merchant, if it is exposed or broken by itself later, the owner will bear it himself. How much does it cost when it is installed and when it is replaced, so it needs money to maintain it. In addition, the broken glass slag also poses a safety risk of personal injury.

Resulting in sun exposure and poor ventilation. Because some units have sunlight, if large glass floor-to-ceiling windows are installed, it will lead to too long illumination time in the living room and too strong sunlight, which will directly lead to a rapid increase in indoor temperature. In addition, the large glass occupies the position of the window, and the original natural ventilation function of the window has been basically lost ... At this time, it is usually necessary to draw the curtains first, and then open the fresh air system or air conditioner. Then, it means that the cost of decoration and living will further increase.

3. Suitable for installing large glass floor-to-ceiling windows.

There are beautiful scenery outside the window, which is worth enjoying every day. Generally speaking, the floor-to-ceiling glass is a sea view room, a river view room, a big park and a big landscape. It is worthwhile to invest in the beautiful scenery outside the window. On the other hand, if there is no open landscape outside your window, especially in the case of small building spacing, there is really no reason to spend a lot of money to install large glass.

There is no Xiong Haizi at home. I have seen more than one case in which a large glass French window was broken by Xiong Haizi. Therefore, if there may be Xiong Haizi's friends at home now or in the future, you should think twice about installing large glass French windows.

4. Reference price of large glass French window

There will be some differences in prices in different cities. I will take the most common size as the reference price: a large glass with a width of two meters usually costs six or seven thousand yuan; If it is four or five meters wide, it will cost 30,000 to 50,000 more; More than six to seven meters may exceed the cost of more than 65438+ 10,000! Seeing this, many owners may not understand why the price is so expensive, which has doubled. These include:

The cost of thickening glass. Glass of such a large size must be thickened, otherwise it is unsafe; Hoisting cost. If the floor is high, the cost will be higher; Labor cost. It takes more than 1000 Jin to lift a piece of large glass, and the labor cost cannot be low when installing it.
