finishing panels

Since the balcony is a room where there are changes in temperature and humidity, wallpaper for finishing balconies are not recommended. In most cases, they can not withstand more than 1-2 years old, peel, covered with mold, mildew.

According to repair the school: a loggia - a room that requires moisture resistant wall and ceiling coverings.

Wall panels - the material perfectly suitable for finishing balconies. In addition, their price is quite democratic.

Before finishing wall panels need to upholster their wooden or cork frame. Work on the installation of the panels is to connect them to each other on the principle of tongue and groove.

It should be borne in mind that the tongue groove, as a rule, on the back side of the panel is slightly longer than on the outside. That is why screwing or nailing the panels to the frame is not difficult.

If you plan to decorate with plastic or wooden panels not only the walls, but the ceiling, you should start with the installation of ceiling lag, which practically do not differ from the floor.

The vast majority of all the decorative panels on the ceiling, as well as "finishing" on the floor boards are located across the length, so the joists put along it.

It is usually sufficient to put 3 longitudinal joists in the ceiling, one in the middle, while the other two - along the longest wall, at a distance of 50 to 200 mm.

It is worth noting that perfectly dried lumber to date in selling almost does not occur. That is why after the installation of the boards, they should remain unattached to the end of the summer. Only after the final drying of all the boards are fastened to the joists.

Thus, repair of balconies with their hands in the non-professional decorators takes a little longer than that of professionals with extensive experience.
