With the advent of cold weather, people think about the fact that it is necessary to insulate the balcony. Where to start? First you need to decide who will do this – the hosts or master, and then have all the necessary information about the materials and insulation technology.
It is worth considering the wishes, as well as the fact that you are going to warm up – the balcony or loggia? There is a difference between these two concepts. The balcony is a design protruding from the wall, and the loggia is built in the house. If you want to continue the room, then the loggia is best suited for this.
Calculate step by step what you want, what needs to be done and which material to use. After that, you can start work.
Free the room from everything that will interfere in the repair. You need to dismantle old coatings and materials. If your balcony or loggia is combined with a neighbor, then it is better to make a strong partition. But it is important to remember that the balcony should not have large loads.
The next step is the windows. You want to change them to metal -plastic or leave the previous? It is important to think about this in advance, place an order and install. Consult with a specialist in this field.
Then it’s time to think about wall insulation. Materials should have small weight and dimensions. After insulation, think about the floors. What to choose? Although the work may be hard to lay down, but it will fit well into the interior. You can also choose linoleum or make a varnished wooden floor.
Maybe you need electricity on the balcony? Then consider it in advance. The walls can be lined with drywall and painted, or sheathed with lining, panels like MDF.
Well, you can enter and enjoy the beauty, warmth and comfort of your home!
