Thermal insulation of the
fencing The balcony itself should be finished with its insulation. Double-glazed windows perform their role to protect themselves from wind and cold, but the balcony fence is a weak link in this construction. For its warming a wooden crate is created. Sheets of heat insulation are fastened in her cavity, and there must be an overlap on the adjacent walls and floor. As a heater, you can choose any material, but the most popular is polystyrene foam. After that, the walls, as a rule, are sewn up with some decorative coating: lining, wall panels, etc.
Sometimes the balcony is combined with the kitchen. In this case, it is appropriate to trim it with ceramic tiles to give a smooth transition between the rooms. Use for such purposes, conventional tiles are not recommended. This is due to the fact that the balcony, although it is insulated, but the temperature difference on it is still quite noticeable. The usual tile to such fluctuations is poorly adapted, therefore it is necessary to choose a material resistant to this factor. The use of ceramic coatings will not work even if the balcony is equipped as a rest area, as it gives a cold, which does not add comfort.
Tip! To finish the balcony is best to apply the tile for outdoor works.
Finishing the balcony with your own hands - installation of the
crate. It is common to consider the top part of the glazing to be the level of the ceiling. The most correct option is considered when the lining comes to the very base of the frame. Throughout the entire ceiling perimeter, the rack is attached with a pitch of 50 centimeters. Then the insulating layer. The gap between it, the wall and the frame should be no more than 1.5 centimeters, later it is frozen. Especially carefully it is necessary to fill the foam of the frame junction with the heater, as this will make the sealing more reliable. After all the above procedures, an additional middle crossbar mount is installed, resulting in the whole structure becoming more rigid.
The next stage of work is the crate walls. The lower rack is mounted at the floor level, and the upper one is mounted on the ceiling. Between them a cord is stretched to level the plane. Further from the floor, the remaining bars are attached so that their step does not exceed 50-60 centimeters. The lining of the lining falls on the level of the window sill, so there must be a control board laid out there. After that, the heater is mounted, and the surface is finished with the selected material.
Note! Fastening of the lining is best done with the help of screws and kleimers.
