Nowadays, balconies and loggias have ceased to be simply rooms where unnecessary trash accumulates for years. Now many people try to make from this even a large, but the right room, a cozy room, because the extra couple of meters have not yet been damaged by anyone. For example, there it can be remarkable there or simply, a full -fledged place to relax, so that there is the opportunity to relax both in summer and in winter. However, a logical question arises: how to insulate the balcony?
In fact, this process is divided into three stages: wall insulation, floor and glazing.
However, before starting work, thoroughly think about how the lighting of the room will be carried out, and if there is no need to change the wiring, otherwise it will not be possible to redo something in the future. As for glazing, it must be performed exclusively by experts, so that in the future there are no problems due to poor-quality installation.
After the end of work related to glazing, it is necessary to carefully check the tightness of the structure and the density of filling with foam all the openings. Windows should be placed by those brands that have already established themselves in the market, or at least ask for advice from your friends.
As for wall insulation, the choice of material is quite wide. It all depends on the family budget and the needs of the owner.
One and the most popular methods are pasting with polystyrene foam, and then sheets of gyps cartone are placed on top, which is treated with special water -repellent substances. Well, in the future, everything completely depends on the taste of the owners. For example, you can put the surface and then glue with wallpaper or plastic panels. As for the tree, it is not recommended to use it, since the service life is not too large.
As for the floor, a new screed is needed, the height of which will be at least 10 cm. Then you can use special insulation, lay down a wooden floor or install an electric heating system. If you choose the latter, then in this case the most successful coating will be ceramic tiles.
However, despite all the insulations that will be broken by the balcony or the insulation loggia, it is still necessary to use additional sources of heating. You can put a small heater that will maintain heat, especially in the cold season.
