How to quickly make a ceiling on the balcony
At first glance, this seems not too laborious work. But this is only from the side, until you have started to implement this task. Before you begin repairs on the balcony, you must first take care of sealing the seams around the perimeter. After the seams are sealed and the glazing is made desirable, and in most cases it is necessary, to make heat and soundproofing. .. It is up to everyone to decide whether to do this himself. If the apartment is located on the lower or middle floors of the house, then the ceiling on the balcony is the floor of the neighbors living on top. Suppose that neighbors have already insulated and glazed loggia, then the issue of insulation disappears.
You can decorate the ceiling on a balcony or balcony in various ways. It depends on the requirements that are imposed on this room. If you do not plan to turn the loggia into a heated room, then it's enough to cover the ceiling with a special tile of light tones. This is the simplest way of finishing and will allow to hide existing unevenness of the exposed concrete slab, and also will give a new surface aesthetic appearance, and light colors will visibly increase the space of the room.
Thermal insulation
With regard to this issue( more complex finishes), it is worthwhile to find out which materials are best used and which ones are suitable for insulation. On a concrete surface, a foam of polyurethane foam can be made. This is a fairly new technology, finishing such a surface will be more difficult than working with blocks of expanded polystyrene. But in this case you will get both heat and sound insulation of the room. Polyurethane foam has higher fireproof properties than simple foam sheets. Work with sputtering and further finishing should be carried out by specialists.
To date, the most budget option is polyurethane foam plates( excellent thermal insulation material) for covering the ceiling of a balcony or a loggia.
This method is quite simple: the cut plates are fastened with plastic dowels to the concrete surface. To give greater reliability of fastening, it is necessary to put glue on a surface of a heat-insulating panel. Also on the glue, it is advisable to use liquid nails, fix the finishing layer of the ceiling coating. To do this, you can use different materials. For example: carefully primed drywall, special polyurethane foam tile or other material.

You can also make the MDG balcony or plastic panels. On the concrete surface of the ceiling, metal profiles or wooden slats are fixed( the distance between the rows should not exceed 30 cm).The wiring for the lighting device is reinforced. If necessary, everything is collected on the floor, where holes are prepared for the fixtures. The finished construction of the panels is fixed to the rail with self-tapping screws. In the same way, a false ceiling is made on the balcony with a wooden lining. And in the formed between the concrete slab and the finishing material, voids are filled with sheet insulation for sound and thermal insulation. Here it is necessary to take into account the thickness of the heat-insulating layer so that windows and doors on the loggia open without problems.
Finally, to make a perfectly flat ceiling, without rough edges and visible seams - the best option is to install a stretch ceiling. They have long established themselves as an opportunity to translate design ideas, and speed of installation. Installation is quite simple and easy, it will take quite a bit of time.
It is necessary to fix a rigid frame around the perimeter of the loggia. Then stretched film panels are attached to this frame. After that, the film is heated and pulled up to a certain limit. Everything, during cooling film is stretched. When choosing luminaires for such a ceiling, it must be taken into account that they do not heat up. This can lead to damage to the tension coating.
