Dimensions of the balcony block in apartments of different types

A balcony door with a window is used to separate the loggia from the next room and comfortably move between them. This design is called a balcony block, the dimensions of which differ in the apartments of brick and panel houses.

The size of the balcony block directly depends on the features of the structures, including the year of construction and the nuances of the structure of the premises. The sizes of the balcony blocks differ in different types of apartments. Below are the standard dimensions of the balcony unit for the following apartment options:

• “Stalinki”, which are usually found in panel-type houses. In such apartments, a balcony block of a T-like type is often installed. The dimensions of the balcony door with a window are 150×270 cm, and separately the dimensions of the door are 75×210 cm.
• “Khrushchev” in brick-type houses. In such rooms, the dimensions of the windows are usually 125×134 cm, and the dimensions of the doors are 68×207 cm.
• “Czechs”, which are usually in panel houses. Window dimensions vary in the range from 140×140 cm for bedrooms to 175×140 cm for halls. The dimensions of the doors in apartments of this type are 75-80×215 cm.

Here are the approximate dimensions of the windows and doors of the balcony blocks. The size of the balcony door, the types of double-glazed windows and windows in real life may differ. Even in two apartments of multi-storey buildings, the dimensions of balcony doors and windows may be different.

This is due to the different thickness of the wall blocks, the use of insulation elements, the presence of irregularities and the change in the configuration of the openings. Before replacing the balcony blocks, it is necessary to invite masters to measure the structures.

How to determine the dimensions of the balcony unit

Determining the size of balcony blocks should be trusted only to professionals. If the plastic structure is smaller in size, then it will be necessary to fill the gaps with spray foam and increase the width of the slopes. In such cases, the probability of losing thermal energy increases significantly. If the dimensions of the plastic block are larger than the specified ones, this will significantly increase the complexity of dismantling the walls.

When installing a balcony structure made of plastic, you need to adhere to such tips, which will help to avoid further difficulties in installing and operating the unit:

• The dimensions of the standard balcony block should be smaller than the dimensions of the opening. The metal-plastic structure should not fit snugly to the walls. Throughout the block, you need to leave a space about 2-4 cm wide.
• It is necessary to determine the size of the balcony window with the door taking into account the slightest subtleties. It is necessary to measure the structure both from the outside and from the inside. The fact is that the openings can be with protrusions, and this should always be taken into account when performing measurements.
• The final values are determined by several values (at least three) in several zones. The width of the structure is usually measured in its upper, lower and central parts.
• Be sure to take into account that the height of the window is reduced taking into account the side seam and the stand profile (at least 3 cm wide).

Before replacing the balcony block, you need to decide on the choice of design for technical and design properties, as well as its practicality. The best option for balcony structures is plastic. The dimensions of a balcony door with a plastic window should always be measured, as they may differ from the standard dimensions of the balcony unit.

Windows and doors made of metal-plastic demonstrate excellent performance properties. They are characterized by high strength and durability. Balcony blocks made of plastic perfectly resist mechanical influences and the influence of adverse climatic factors.
