Plan of a one-room apartment 507 series. Modifications of this series

Standard panel houses 507 series located, as a rule, in areas with developed infrastructure, close to the metro.

Khrushchevka, series 1-507-five-story buildings built during the reign of Khrushchev. The buildings do not have an attic, garbage chute, or elevator. Load-bearing structures are external. Initially, the “Khrushchev” buildings were made of brick (these exist in the Vyborg and Kalininsky districts), and from the beginning of the 60s, in order to save money, there was a transition to panel housing construction.

The dimensions of the openings may differ slightly in similar houses and apartments, but in general the individual difference is two to three centimeters per cost of windows does not significantly affect.

To ensure that the window fits perfectly into your opening, more precise dimensions are always taken by a measurer when ordering, taking into account all the features of this design.
During the measurement, our specialist will answer any technical and everyday questions. Will help you decide on the choice of window configuration.

There is always a flexible payment system for you, seasonal special offers and discounts that will delight you. And most importantly, we provide guarantees for products and installation.

Below are typical windows and balcony blocks with typical dimensions in a standard panel KhrushchevkaEpisode 507 in St. Petersburg.

The depth of the window sills is 20 centimeters, the depth of the drains is 16 cm.

The urban planning policy regarding Khrushchev's five-story buildings in our century has changed constantly: the authorities either carry out exemplary modernization of the Khrushchev buildings, or, having declared them morally and physically worn out, decide to launch them en masse. Meanwhile, the main problem of the houses of the first mass series is not at all the dilapidation (they have been preserved no better or worse than others), but the fact that, according to the authorities, the five-story building has a low density and occupies territories that are too attractive in terms of location.

Therefore, despite all the “horror stories” about the disrepair and breakdown of Khrushchev buildings, apartments in them are in steady demand and are by no means the most affordable housing. According to BN, the average price of an ordinary one-room apartment without obvious defects in a five-story panel building fluctuates around the psychological mark of 3 million rubles. Below this value, at 2.8-2.9 million rubles, are estimated “one-room apartments” on the first and last floors, as well as with windows overlooking busy highways (which is a rarity in Khrushchev’s buildings). Suburban Khrushchev buildings located in “inconvenient” areas or at a considerable distance from the main transport hubs are sometimes offered at record low prices - from 2.2 million rubles. But such prices are the exception rather than the rule.

What is the reason for consumer interest in apartments in panel houses of the first mass series? Are they really morally and physically obsolete?

Plus to minus
Half a century ago, a joke appeared that Khrushchev combined a bathroom with a toilet, but could not combine the floor with the ceiling: sharp-tongued fellow citizens ridiculed the new standards of economical mass housing - 2.5 m ceilings and combined bathrooms. But unlike today’s designers, the ideologists of mass housing construction of the late 1950s did not think of coming up with studio apartments, combining showers with hallways, and rooms with kitchens. Thus, the layouts set by the standards half a century ago turned out to be quite humane. And this is the first argument for the buyer of an apartment in Khrushchev.

The second is that over half a century, Khrushchev buildings have shown themselves to be extremely reliable and unpretentious houses to use. There are no sagging floors in them, like in the old foundation. And due to their design features, five-story panel buildings with welded joints turned out to be exceptionally strong buildings: in particular, on the basis of Leningrad five-story buildings, already in the 1970s, houses were developed and built for earthquake-prone areas of the former USSR.

And finally, everyone, and not just real estate agents, knows that the liquidity of real estate is determined by three criteria: location, location and location again. As megacities grew, the main territories of Khrushchev's development turned from urban outskirts into inhabited and green areas with developed transport and social infrastructure.

The disadvantages of the five-story buildings of the first mass series are also well known to potential buyers. They do not have an elevator or garbage chute. Due to the lack of an attic, apartments on the upper floors tend to get hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The first floor is also not very comfortable due to basement dampness (that’s why the “end” apartments are always significantly cheaper).

Refusal of excesses
The history of mass panel housing construction began in 1955, when the Decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR “On the elimination of excesses in design and construction” was issued, which ordered the development of standard projects so that by 1980, when communism came, every Soviet family would meet it in separate apartment. The basis for the design of Khrushchev houses was laid by the building regulations of 1957, which provided for a living space height from floor to ceiling of 2.5 m, miniature (from 4.5 sq. m.) kitchens, and also allowed the construction of adjacent rooms and combined bathrooms. The required elements of the apartment were a pantry (or built-in wardrobe), bedrooms (6 sq. m for one person, 8 sq. m for two), a common room (at least 14 sq. m).

The most common series of panel Khrushchev houses of the first mass series are 1-507/1-504, 1-335, GI, OD. But not all Khrushchev buildings are large-panel houses. There are also “brick” series (1-528KP and its modifications), as well as houses with external walls made of brick blocks (1-527). The basis for the design of second-generation panel houses, the so-called Brezhnevkas, which replaced the Khrushchevkas, was laid by the building regulations of 1963, which increased the minimum area of ​​kitchens from 4.5 to 9 square meters. m and did not allow the installation of combined bathrooms. Meanwhile, the actual new standards, which envisage the construction of “improved-plan houses,” began to be implemented only in 1965, and in parallel with this, until the early 1970s, first-generation five-story panel houses continued to be built.

The coldest and the warmest
Khrushchevkas are considered the coldest housing. But not all. “Brick” series (1-528KP and its modifications), as well as houses with external walls made of brick blocks (1-527), in principle, are not inferior in thermophysical properties to “Stalinist” houses. Series 1-507 with an outer wall thickness of 40 cm is also not the worst option in this regard. The record holders for heat loss are the houses of the GI, OD and 1-335 series. Moreover, the most problematic are the corner and three-sided apartments of the end sections, as well as apartments located on the fifth floors.
Some owners of such apartments try to insulate them from the inside, creating a “layer cake” of mineral wool boards and plasterboard on a wooden frame. Unfortunately, this is ineffective. Insulation of external walls, especially apartments located in the end sections, is a serious problem. The only reasonable solution to the problem is modern double-glazed windows and claims to representatives of operating organizations whose tasks include repairing facades and updating interpanel joints.

Unlike houses of later series, during the early “Khrushchevism” there was no tendency to lay linoleum directly on a concrete base. As a rule, houses of the first mass series have parquet or plank floors laid on logs made of boards or timber. This design creates quite acceptable interfloor sound insulation, but since construction, as a rule, was carried out in emergency mode, the space between the floor joists was often filled with sand.

Hence the ineradicable dust and constantly “walking” floors. When overhauling such an apartment and replacing the floors, you have to remove a lot of garbage with “artifacts” from the times of shock construction - empty bottles and cans.

Prolonged probationary period
St. Petersburg Khrushchev buildings have been in operation for almost sixty years. Therefore, for the blackened facades with crumbling tiles, blown interpanel joints and dilapidated entrances, we should thank not the builders, but representatives of repair and maintenance organizations who have been mercilessly exploiting these houses for half a century, forgetting about repairs.

Meanwhile, due to their compactness, Khrushchev buildings are extremely repairable, and their modernization can solve all problems except the lack of square meters. At the beginning of this century, targeted rehabilitation programs for city five-story buildings appeared, involving insulation of facades and replacement of communications, making it possible to extend the life of Khrushchev buildings indefinitely. A standard project providing for modernization without resettlement was developed by the State Unitary Enterprise “UKS Restavraciya”. The recommended work included cosmetic repairs, insulation of external walls, basement and sub-roof ceilings, ventilation units, replacement of balcony doors and windows, and installation of heat energy meters. However, by 2008, work on the renovation of houses in the first mass series was curtailed: the costs turned out to be prohibitive for the city budget, and for investors the kingdom was too small to go around.

Therefore, it makes sense to be skeptical about the statements of builders that it is easier to demolish some houses and build new ones in their place. They, of course, are more interested in mastering the means on a grand scale. But it is not a fact that new construction technologies for the construction of economical housing, as well as economy-class houses that are being built today, will also successfully withstand the half-century trial period.

Five-story houses of the first mass series


Series 1-528KP (“brick Khrushchev”)

The development of this series began even before the memorable Resolution of the CPSU Central Committee and the USSR Council of Ministers “On the elimination of excesses in design and construction.” Gable iron roofs, bay windows and 2.7 m ceilings are atypical for the Khrushchev period, which is why such houses are sometimes called late “Stalinist buildings”. Nevertheless, the massive volumes of construction, the standardization of all parameters, as well as the poor layout of the apartments in the five-story buildings of the 528th series indicate that they are Khrushchev-era. There are no “excesses” here: the areas of the apartments are only slightly larger than those indicated by the standards of 1957: kitchens - an average of 5.2 square meters. m, large rooms (in one-room apartments) and common rooms (in two-room apartments) - from 17 to 19 sq. m. m, bedrooms - 11.2 or 8.5 sq. m.


Series 1-507

The most widespread, and, apparently, the most successful, type of St. Petersburg five-story buildings of the first generation. Two experimental houses of the 507 series appeared in 1956, and after putting it on the assembly line in 1959, its modifications were built in almost all areas of the city until 1972. The number of entrances in such houses is from three to eight; there are four apartments on each floor. Of all the first-generation panel five-story buildings, these houses are the warmest, and their sound insulation (primarily due to successful layouts) is better than in other similar houses. All apartments have built-in wardrobes, and in two- and three-room apartments they can be quite spacious - up to 2.3 square meters. m.


Series 1-335

The five-story buildings in this series are associated with Grazhdanka and Malaya Okhta. The main site for testing this type of panel houses with external walls made of lightweight expanded clay concrete panels with a mineral wool insulating layer was the Kalininsky district. They began to be produced in 1959 and were discontinued in 1966. In general, the layout of such houses (four apartments per floor) are similar to those in the houses of the 507 series: exactly the same balconies, large storage rooms in the far adjacent rooms. But combined bathrooms and miniature hallways made it possible to increase the kitchen area to 7 square meters. m.


OD series

Houses of the OD series were built on a massive scale in the Nevsky district (there are more than two hundred of them there). There is also a small area in Kupchino (in the blocks between Bukharestskaya Street and Volkovsky Prospekt), as well as in the Moskovsky district. In terms of planning features, these houses are a copy of the most widespread and “exemplary” Moscow K-7 series. Decent - compared to other Khrushchev - layouts: separate bathrooms, not the smallest kitchens (about 7 sq. m), spacious rooms of correct proportions from 11 to 18 sq. m. m.

In terms of the quality of sound insulation and the level of heat loss, these houses are one of the most problematic: the external wall panels have a layer of mineral wool insulation, which over many years of use has become wet and collapsed. Such an external wall design was recognized as untenable soon after the start of production, and the construction of houses of the OD series was stopped in 1966.

Another unpleasant feature of such houses is thin interior partitions (only 4 cm), on which it is impossible to hang wall cabinets.


GI series

The range of the series includes three modifications of five-story buildings. The outer walls are made of lightweight aerated concrete panels. Feature - two apartments per floor. Because of this, one- and two-room apartments are not included in the basic project. But all three-, four- and five-room apartments are two-sided, and in the end sections there are three-sided ones.

In the layouts of such apartments, borrowings are clearly discernible; they are reminiscent of European social housing of the post-war model: “halls” from 15 to 22 square meters. m, through which you can go into miniature kitchenettes, separated from the living rooms by an opening without a door, tiny bedrooms from 6 to 8 sq. m.

In addition to five-story buildings, the GI series includes several options for eight- and nine-story “dot” houses. They “collect” one- and two-room apartments, which were “not supplied” to five-story buildings.

  • House type - panel.
  • Number of floors - 5.
  • Years of construction 1964-1972
  • Development areas: Kupchino, Vesyoly Poselok, Ulyanka, Moskovsky district.

Plastic double-leaf window for Khrushchev series 1 – 507

The window repeats the old design and consists of two sections. There is no need for a window - the new plastic window has a tilting function for ventilation. Energy-saving double-glazed windows that are optimal for St. Petersburg. Dismantling the old frames and taking them up the stairs, installation, delivery around the city and measuring will add 2,300 rubles to the cost. Internal finishing of slopes with a turnkey sandwich panel, replacement of window sills, street drainage, external plastering - 4,710 rubles.

Price 8,321 rubles

Three-leaf metal-plastic window for house series 1 – 507

Window for Khrushchev of three sections - the middle one is tilt and turn, the outer ones are blind. Installation, dismantling, measurement and delivery to St. Petersburg - 2700 rubles. Turnkey finishing (sandwich slopes, replacement of window sill and drainage system, plastering work) – 5,620 rubles.

Price 11,022 rubles

Balcony window with door for Khrushchev 1 – 507 series

A typical balcony block in Khrushchev consists of a panoramic window and a tilt-and-turn door. Installation of the block, dismantling of old frames with removal to the stairs, delivery and measurement - 3,000 rubles. Finishing the block “turnkey” - 5470 rubles.

Price 13,224 rubles

Windows for Khrushchev series 1 - 507 - main installation features

Khrushchev series 1 - 507 are among the most common in St. Petersburg. Every fourth Khrushchev building in the city belongs to this series. The houses are considered quite good, especially those built at a later stage of construction - separate bathrooms, storage rooms, balconies. The walls are warm and made of aerated concrete panels. Let's consider the features of installing plastic windows in Khrushchev series 1 - 507.

  1. For window and door openings, slopes with a depth of 20 cm will be required.
  2. After installing the plastic window, the window sill will become wider - up to 25 cm.
  3. The new drainage system will repeat the configuration of the old one, its width is 18 cm.
  4. After installing the plastic window, the outer assembly seam is plastered. Installation using vapor-permeable sealing tapes (PSUL) is possible.
  5. The issue of finishing the threshold is resolved by installing a window sill with a wear-resistant coating.
The main questions when ordering windows in Khrushchev series 1 - 507
  1. Selection of double-glazed windows. For glazing of Khrushchev buildings of series 1 - 507, we recommend using double-chamber double-glazed windows or single-chamber energy-saving ones. Conventional single-chamber double-glazed windows are not suitable for residential premises in St. Petersburg, which is confirmed by SNiP II-3-79*.
  2. Profile selection. For the manufacture of plastic windows in Khrushchev series 1 - 507, three-chamber profiles with a thickness of 58-60 mm are optimal. It is possible to install windows from more expensive profiles with a thickness of 70 or 86 mm.
  3. Window design. The most inexpensive design is with one opening sash, but such windows are inconvenient to clean. The manufacturing technology of plastic windows allows all sashes to open.
  4. Decoration Materials. To finish the slopes, we recommend using a sandwich panel. Sandwich slopes are warm, they look great, and do not require special care.
Changes in the design and cost of windows in Khrushchev project 1 - 507
  • The calculation of the base cost of windows and a balcony block in Khrushchev was made in the IVAPER 62 profile. Single-chamber energy-saving double-glazed windows, high-quality ROTO fittings made in Germany. The cost of windows from the REHAU Blitz profile is 1400-1800 rubles higher.
  • Double-chamber double-glazed windows provide better protection from street noise than single-chamber energy-saving windows. Windows with double-glazed windows are 800-1200 rubles more expensive.
  • A tilt-and-turn sash instead of a fixed one will increase the cost of the window by 1600-2200 rubles.
  • A mosquito net on Z-mounts will add 1,200 rubles to the cost.

Replacing windows in an apartment is not done every day, so you should think through everything carefully - opening, profiles, double-glazed windows.
