Parvekelasitukset

Parvekelasitukset, also known as balcony glazing or glass curtains, refers to a system of sliding or folding glass panels that enclose a balcony or terrace. This allows the space to be used more comfortably throughout the year, protecting it from wind, rain, and cold while still allowing natural light to enter. The panels are typically made of tempered safety glass for durability and security.

The primary purpose of parvekelasitukset is to extend the usability of outdoor spaces. In colder months, the enclosed balcony can serve as an extra room, offering shelter from the elements. During warmer periods, the glass panels can be opened to allow for ventilation and enjoyment of the fresh air. This creates a flexible transition zone between indoor and outdoor living.

Installation of parvekelasitukset involves mounting a track system along the ceiling and floor of the balcony, into which the individual glass panels are fitted. These panels can usually be slid or folded to one side, offering various configurations for opening the space. Maintenance is generally straightforward, involving cleaning the glass and ensuring the tracks are free of debris.

Parvekelasitukset have become increasingly popular in urban environments and apartment buildings. They can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a building while providing practical benefits to residents. The systems are designed to be weather-resistant and durable, often with features like locking mechanisms for added security. The design and specific features can vary between manufacturers and depending on the architectural style of the building.
