False window design

› The cost of a false window is formed from two parts:

Frame- This is a structure framing the light panel. This is a decorative part that gives realism to the entire structure. As a rule, it is made of solid wood and can have any shape. The main task of the frame is to fit into the interior of the room as aesthetically as possible and to cover the edge of the light panel along the perimeter, where the glass adjoins the profile. In rare cases, the frame is made of plastic using ordinary plastic construction Euro-windows, fixing it to the wall, and not into the opening.

The cost of the frame depends on the design of the structure, the solid wood used and paint coating. On average, the cost of a solid beech frame coated with transparent varnish costs 7,500 rubles/m2.

12,000 rub./m2. from 10,000 to 30,000 rubles/m2.

› A light panel with a uniform glow can be implemented:

1. Using end illumination and a scattering matrix

This design consists of the following components:

1.1. Organic glass or polycarbonate with polished ends, onto which a special diffusion matrix is ​​glued.

1.2. A special profile into which the diode strip is inserted.

1.3. A glass or acrylic panel, on the reverse side of which an image with a view from the window is UV printed.

1.4. Special aluminum profile, into which a diode strip is inserted around the perimeter.

1.5. Transformer with wire and plug for converting and supplying power to the diode strip.

This panel has a thickness of 17-25 mm and a weight of 13 kg/m2. And can be installed anywhere (wall, ceiling, floor). The limitation is the width associated with the scattering matrix. Maximum size - 1500 mm. The height limitation is due to maximum dimensions print. Maximum size - 4500 mm.

2. Using diode matrices in a niche

This design requires a niche with a depth of at least 350 mm and consists of the following components:

2.1. Diode matrices with lens. The number and placement of diode matrices in a niche to create uniform illumination is calculated by a special program.

2.2. The diffuser is a special plastic 2-6 mm thick, which evens out the flow of light and makes the glow uniform over the entire surface.

2.3. A glass or acrylic panel, on the reverse side of which an image with a view from the window is UV printed.

2.4. Mounting hardware for attaching the panel and diffuser to the wall.

2.5. Transformer with wire and plug for converting and supplying power to diode arrays.

This design can be implemented either flush with the wall or as an overlay on the wall with a 50 mm offset beyond the niche dimensions, and can be installed anywhere (wall, ceiling, floor). The size limitation is due to the print size limits. Maximum size 2450x4500 mm.

“I had a dark hallway in my apartment, and the light was constantly on. It doesn’t look very aesthetically pleasing and I came up with the idea of ​​making a false window with lighting in this place. I was surprised that very few companies in Chelyabinsk do this, so I almost immediately found the website of the Promsteklo company, where it is written in detail about such windows. The remaining questions, including cost, were resolved over the phone with the designer Evgeniy. I received detailed advice and placed an order, simultaneously choosing a design on the website. Big choice On the site in the catalog of images, by the way, I was pleased. So, we decided on the design, paid for the order and all we had to do was wait.

Do illusory pieces of furniture need curtains?

Necessarily! They will make the window even more like the real thing. Interesting solution is the simultaneous use of two curtains in decorating a false window, one of which is real and the other painted. If the room is decorated in country style, a wide window sill is mounted to the window, where indoor flowers are placed. Illusionary decorative items can perfectly cope not only with an aesthetic, but also with a functional role. In rooms with low levels of natural light, illusory windows in the interior are used as additional lamps. In such cases, not external, but internal lighting is used: the lighting source is mounted in the inside of the window. This stylistic decision gradually becomes traditional, without losing its originality in the transformation of space. However, an important point here is the correct choice of the surface of the decorative element, because the “level of reliability” of the false window directly depends on it.

There are various types of false structures, the basis of the gradation of which is the technology of their installation. For example, false windows may be painted on the wall. First, specialists create a sketch, the image from which is transferred to the wall surface. Then a frame is mounted to this structure. This is also a very labor-intensive and painstaking process, and it begins with the selection of materials. To solve the problem, natural and artificial textures are widely used. You can create a frame for a false window yourself if you cannot pay for the services of a professional designer. To decorate an apartment or house with such a design you will need:

• old wooden doors;
• set of carpentry tools;
• window fittings;
• paint, varnish.

A false window frame is a slightly modified door design attached to the wall. At the final stage of production wooden parts The frames are sanded and coated with paint or varnish.

The use of plexiglass is widely in demand in the manufacture of false structures. False windows with plexiglass look realistic. It is important to perform the installation technology correctly. First, construction lines are drawn on the wall, then plexiglass is attached on top of them. The final step is installing the frame. The latter can be made even more in a simple way. Modern interior premises provides for a variety of uses of polyurethane moldings. Their installation is carried out by gluing to the surface. Moldings are mounted at transitions into the wall to highlight a false window on it. But such structures with frames have one significant drawback: there is no possibility to install lighting inside them, which would emphasize the originality of the window and its authenticity.

Figure 1. In the bedroom, a false window can be placed on the ceiling, matching the view with the sky.

Painted false structures are especially convenient because they can be used in any room whose interior needs adjustment. Mirrors are increasingly used to install such decorative elements, which allows you to effectively visually expand the space of the room. Window imitation using mirrors is carried out using two technologies:

• using a solid mirror;
• using a woven frame.

In the first case, the basis of the false window is a mirror sheet that is mounted on the wall. The frame of such a decorative element can be made of natural wood or artificial materials. The window sill, flowers, curtains are mounted on the false window only after installing the mirror. The second option for making an interior item is more painstaking. First, pieces of mirrors are inserted into the cells of the interlaced frame. They are quite often replaced with plexiglass or polystyrene. And only then the finished structure is mounted on the wall.

If the basis of the decorative item is a mirror, you need to correctly place things in the space of the room that play up its presence. This window imitation does not require heavy curtains or intricate decorative items, because its main element is mirror surface, which is a decoration in itself. But not only the mirror of an illusory window can turn a dark corner of an apartment or house into a work of art.

A photo wallpaper or poster, which can be used as the base of a window, will help you cope with this task. (Fig. 1) Experts advise using false structures and photo prints for installation. In such cases, you can also install a light source in the window. To solve the problem, the frame is not mounted tightly to the photo wallpaper. The false window and frame are specially separated small space, which is sufficient for installing lighting fixtures. But there is one nuance here: for a very small niche such an illusory window will not be suitable, as it will visually narrow the space.

The not-so-successful layout of apartments by developers and narrow spaces forced designers to develop a special architectural and design element called a false window. This is a fake window, or, as it is also called, false, which is currently gaining more and more popularity. A false window in a cramped room is great way visually expand the space of the room.

The false window in the living room should adhere to the general style of the living room interior.

However, before you make a false window with your own hands, you must carefully consider all the nuances of this element in the interior.

It is usually located:

• on a completely smooth wall;
• on the ceiling;
• in a ready-made or independently created niche.

How to make a false window on a flat and smooth wall?

A false window on the ceiling gives the room uniqueness and originality.

As a rule, to create additional windows in a room, posters and photo wallpapers with an image that goes into perspective are usually used. These could be views of parks, medieval streets or seascapes. It all depends on your taste. Also, to create false windows, a mirror cloth that imitates a regular frame is often used.

In order to receive great result When inserting such a window into the interior, you should remember a few simple rules:

• choose a place;
• mark the wall;
• prepare the surface.

When planning to create a mirrored window, choose a spot on the plane of the wall so that the reflective surface is illuminated. This way you can create the illusion of light coming from a fake window. Remember that the levels of window sills, both real and artificially created, must match. Only in this case will the false window advantageously decorate the volume of your room. When marking, all dimensions of the mirror sheet and pattern are transferred to the wall in the required place, at the required height from the floor.

Remember about high-quality surface preparation. Before you start applying a poster to your wall, check to see if there are any pieces of plaster or paint left on the wall. To prevent all the flaws of your wall from being imprinted on the photo wallpaper, thoroughly clean it of all coatings: putty, plaster and paint. If you are planning to make a mirrored false window, then there should be no differences in the prepared plane.

Before making a false window, use a level to check whether your wall is level and, where necessary, putty. Otherwise, the process of gluing the canvas will be extremely difficult. So, after we have achieved an even, smooth and dry wall, we move on to the gluing process.

Gluing the poster and creating a frame

Additional elements ( LED strip, frame) false windows are glued with “liquid nails”.

It is necessary to stick the poster on the wall during normal room temperature, about +20°С. Avoid even the slightest draft.

Otherwise, your photo wallpaper will dry unevenly, causing excessive tension or wrinkling. And this will ruin it a lot appearance poster. Depending on the type of photo wallpaper, choose the appropriate adhesive. Typically, poster manufacturers recommend specific brands of adhesive.

To glue the mirror cloth, use special superglue. The most popular is “Liquid Nails for Mirrors”.

In order to prevent the possible “movement” of your mirror, attach a small horizontal strip to the wall, which would serve as a support for the canvas.

The lower frame can also be used as it.

The simplest way to frame a false window on the wall are polyurethane foam moldings with a width of 70 mm. They are attached to the wall along the entire perimeter of the canvas or mirror. Painting and tinting moldings should be done in advance, before you attach them to the wall. Wooden frame secured with dowel nails.

False windows in the niche and on the ceiling

Painted false windows are created using acrylic and oil paints.

The process of creating a structure in a niche is more complicated than installing it on flat wall. A niche usually allows you to make a false window three-dimensional and design hidden backlight so that she is truly invisible. To make a false window in a niche, you need:

1. Lay an LED strip of the selected color along the entire perimeter of your niche, and then install spotlights or fluorescent lamps.
2. Attach a pre-prepared frame containing stained glass or glass with photo printing to the wall.
3. As an addition, you can decorate your glass with molding frames.

In this way, you can add additional lighting to the room and use photo printing or stained glass on your window.

If you are looking for a simpler option, you can strengthen a mirror from the back of the niche wall, make a real window sill and place it on it table lamp. The most complete effect of this will be if you also make all the slopes of the false window exclusively mirrored.

A false window in the ceiling can be made using a similar principle. If you are planning to create a “transparent” ceiling in your room, then choose photo wallpaper depicting the sky, stars or clouds. The drawing is glued to the bottom of the niche, and lighting is made along its perimeter, covering it with a frame with glass. With a new window, your ceiling will become more elegant.
