Stages of work when creating a turnkey balcony
Removing the balcony, you need to take care of thermal insulation.
The first and most important step towards the insulation of the balcony will be its glazing. The best option will be the installation of metal-plastic windows and balcony blocks. There are also modern technologies that allow both wooden structures to resist the precipitate and temperature drops.
After all, the new loggia should be warm and cozy not only in the warm season, but also in winter. This can be done using stoves of polystyrene foam, fairly lung and with a durable material. Frame made of wooden bars. There is a thermal insulation between them and is fixed with the help of plastic screws and glue. All the gaps that are formed during the work, then it will be necessary to pour construction foam. After its drying, the remains of the foam will need to trim carefully.
Before coating the floor with a floor covering, it is necessary to put a sheet of plywood (its thickness should be at least 1 cm). And on top of it is already putting the selected floor covering. Specialists argue that the most suitable coating for the balcony is laminate. If it is planned to be carried out in the room for a long time, then it is worth thinking about the additional floor insulation. For this purpose, the so-called film warm floors can be used. They are very easily mounted. The first layer is stacked insulating material (foil ozon). Next top is a substrate for a laminate, the so-called heating element. Last layer laminate itself.

Making a cozy balcony with their own turnkey hands, lay out the walls of the walls.
On balconies, loggias and verandas, the lining on the walls is better to cover with aqualak, and the floors are alkyd varnishes (naturally, if they are wooden).
To attach the selected finishing material, you need to make an additional fraud from the tree (frame). It will be attached to the panels themselves. It is necessary to install it in terms of level. The frame is processed using a primer for wood. The prepared frame attacks facing.
Materials that are used to sew a balcony:
- Lining. This is traditional and, perhaps, the most popular of all facing materials. It has many advantages, such as external attractiveness, ease of installation, etc. The main disadvantage is that it is necessary to care for it.
- Eurovale. Present wood planks. Reminds usual lining, but it is much more expensive. The main difference is that the Eurovantia is easy to assemble than the usual one.
- Siding. Externally, very similar to the Euro woman. The main plus of siding is its durability and fire resistance. Easy mounted.
- Plastic panels. For the price they are the most affordable. Panels do not require some or special care. Do not react to air temperature drops.
- Alternative materials. These include moisture-resistant plasterboard, Phaneur, etc. When choosing this material, a frame or a metal lattice on the wall is made. It is placed a layer of insulation, and on top everything is trimmed with facing material.
After all the work on the arrangement of the balcony will be performed with their own hands, will remain to make the necessary furniture in it and choose, as the room it will be used.
