Everyone has visited a gym or fitness club at least once in their lives. But hardly anyone thought about what the windows should be,
and what requirements they should meet.
In our today's article, we will tell you how to choose the right
windows for a gym or fitness club.
Basic requirements for windows for gyms
First of all, we note that even the smallest gymnasiums should be equipped with
windows necessary for natural lighting and ventilation.
The glazing of sports halls is carried out in accordance with the requirements for the design of sports facilities. In gyms, direct natural light is required, which not only creates comfortable conditions for physical exercise, but also saves money on electricity.
Window openings must have the following characteristics:
Resistant to external factors (resistance to corrosion)
High strength.
Have low emissions.
The light factor should be at least 1/6 (the ratio of the window area to the total area of the room).
The choice of design and type of windows for gyms
Gyms are glazed with high-strength materials that ensure safety and long service life. These include tempered glass insulating glass units, aluminum frames, metal fittings.
Panoramic glazing, which is a translucent structure installed along the entire length of the opening, is especially popular when installing windows in gyms. The panoramic design increases the illumination of the room, thereby visually combining the interior with the external space.
The next type of windows recommended for use in gyms are plastic windows, which have a very aesthetic appearance. PVC profiles have a long service life.
When choosing
plastic windows, first of all, pay attention to the ventilation system. The most important indicator of the safety and effectiveness of physical activity is the concentration of oxygen in the room, since during physical activity, oxygen consumption increases.
