In the city on the Neva, a huge number of old houses of good layout, which were built back in 70–80 years. So, houses of series 137 with various modifications are built and still. Apartments in these houses are very highly popular – and for that, good reasons: thanks to a high -quality panel in apartments, a good level of heat – and sound insulation.
In addition, apartments have an interesting layout: very spacious kitchen and hallway, lack of passage rooms, in apartments from the third floor – loggia and balconies. Since new housing is not available to everyone, and the quality of its construction is sometimes dubious, these apartments will always be in demand and will last more than one decade.
However, the windows in these houses for the most part already require replacement. The standard of size (for most houses of this series) allows you not to order the manufacture of new ones, but to buy standard windows 137 of the series of PVC metal -plastic profile, which slightly simplifies the process of their installation and reduces the overall costs.
The houses of the 504 series were also often built in St. Petersburg of the 70s. They call them among the people – “Brezhnevka”. True, apartments in these houses are not as attractive as described above. The layout involves the presence of a large number of apartments with adjacent rooms or unilateral. The total area is not enough, the bathroom is very small, even to install the washing machine of the middle dimensions, there may not be enough space. There are three -room apartments with bilateral layout and two loggias. Another plus-the houses of this series in different years were built in all areas of St. Petersburg, which allows you to easily find inexpensive housing with a convenient location.
To replace the windows, as well as in houses of the 137th series, it is enough to purchase standard plastic windows of 504 episodes, since their dimensions in all houses are practically no different from each other.
However, the standard sizes of windows do not yet mean the lack of the need to call the measurer. The fact is that its role is not only in the removal of the size of the window blocks, but also in the coordination of a number of issues regarding the options for opening windows, the location of the wings, etc. p. Often, the final result depends on the work of the commercial engineer.
Thus, making a decision to replace the windows, you make the right choice, significantly prolonging the comfortable residence in old panel houses that can last a long time.
