Apartments with panoramic windows in Kyiv

Big windows are the main decoration of an elite apartment. A stunning view of a lake, river, park, or city center opens up from them. The Real Estate Corporation RIEL offers apartments with panoramic windows in Kyiv in our residential complexes, located in the best districts of the capital.

Benefits and flaws of panoramic glazing

Modern construction tendencies aim to unite man with nature, and panoramic windows are one of the ways to get rid of the tightness of a city apartment:

1. More natural light. Apartments with big windows not only look modern, but they’re also maximally illuminated. Thanks to the panoramic glazing, tenants get maximum daylight, which is especially important in fall and winter when the days are short. Apart from positively affecting the mood and well-being, this also allows saving on additional artificial lighting of rooms.  
2. Visual space expansion. Daylight access also affects the rooms’ appearance. The fact that well-lit rooms seem more spacious than they are isn’t news, and even a smaller living room will look bright and spacious thanks to big windows.
3. Compatibility with any interior. Panoramic windows not only harmonize well with high-tech or minimalist designs but also easily blend in classical interiors.

Besides the extensive list of benefits, large windows do have their flaws:

1. Room heating. Among the benefits of big windows are their light transmission and thermal conductivity, which result in some savings on lighting and heating, but this also has a downside. Specifically, rooms with panoramic glazing get overheated in summer, which can cause significant discomfort to the tenants. But this isn’t an unsolvable problem. It’s enough to install outer roller shutters or curtains to protect yourself from the hot summer sun.
2. Bad thermal insulation. A standard window’s thermal conductivity is almost five times worse than that of an outer wall. Despite that panoramic windows are made of specific glass, they still conduct heat. But thanks to high-quality double-glazed units, the heat losses are minimal. The thermal insulation of a window is determined by such parameters as the double-glazed unit’s type, tightness index of the window, gas filling, and heat transfer coefficient.
3. High price. Apartments with panoramic glazing cost more than the options with the analogical areas and regular windows. Nevertheless, these expenses should be treated as justified investments into a beautiful, illuminated, and cozy apartment.

A nuance that should be taken into account when purchasing an apartment with panoramic windows in Kyiv is cleaning and maintenance. It’s important to realize that access to the windows on top floors is limited. Therefore, the need for their cleaning can bring additional expenses, for example, hiring a professional window cleaning crew. The good news is that windows at high altitudes don’t get that dirty, so they don’t require frequent washing.

Safety of an apartment with panoramic windows

Panoramic glazing seems vulnerable to mechanical damage, but it’s not. Extensive windows often consist of several insulating glass units made of a specifically selected type of glass: tempered or glued. Tempered glass is more damage resistant, and in case of collapsing, it shatters into tiny shards with blunt edges, which pose no threat to people around. Glued glass, on the other side, is reinforced with special foil, which prevents it from collapsing when it shatters (the glass gets glued to the foil), - therefore, in case of damage, there aren’t any shards at all.
