Warming up the loggia with penoplex by one's own hands

People living in multi-storey houses know perfectly well that the issue of warming a home is very important. The point is that in most homes, especially those that were built in the Soviet era, too thin walls, and even the designs themselves are unreasonable. To ensure a stable temperature regime inside the apartment, you definitely need to resort to warming the walls. However, experienced people who already faced this issue know perfectly well that in the very beginning it is necessary to insulate the balcony( balcony).

log walls Unfortunately, this process is far from as simple as it might seem at first glance. More often for such events it is necessary to use the services of specialists who will demand a considerable sum of money. In this material, we will consider all the features of the insulation of the loggia with penokleksom.

The main features of the

penoplex. Immediately it should be noted that penoplex is a relatively new material that is actively used all over the world. With its help, not only residential buildings are insulated, but also entertainment centers, warehouses and municipal buildings.

Unlike many existing insulating materials, which are less and less used every year, the foam foam has a low thermal conductivity. This means that for the warming of a large area, we need substantially less penoplex than any other material. Despite the fact that the foam is somewhat more expensive than its counterparts, it is still profitable to use it. First of all, this refers to large residential buildings, which must be completely covered with this insulation. In the end, it becomes clear that with the foam it is possible to obtain enormous savings.

Penoplex also does not absorb moisture at all. This indicates that during the entire period of operation the material will retain its original properties. Many analogs gradually accumulate moisture. Accordingly, after a while such warming loses its basic properties, and even it can become dangerous.

Most of the foam producers assure that their products have high strength. This once again confirms that this material is longevous.

We can not ignore the fact that penoplex is an environmentally and fireproof material.

Despite such positive characteristics, this product sometimes still has some limitations related to the scope of use. In this case, everything depends on the manufacturers, who use this or that technology of production of penoplex.

The most important thing is to give preference to the products of well-known construction companies, which have long proven themselves on the positive side.

Outdoor insulation of the loggia with the foam pad

Many may think that a small area of ​​outdoor logging insulation will not provide the desired efficiency. Despite this, even a couple of square meters in this case can play a serious role.

It is important to say that the apartments that are located after the second floor are externally insulated with the help of industrial climbers. Unfortunately, such services are often very expensive, but there is no doubt that the result will be incredibly high quality.

For such events, not only penopolix, but also a lot of polyethylene, as well as a material for exterior insulation.

The fixing of the penoplex is made with the help of special dowels, which not only press a separate part of the insulation, but also ensure the absence of any deformation of the material. The seams between the sheets are filled with a mounting foam. Further on top is polyethylene( or foil material).

After the above processes, the surface finish begins. In such cases, often a crate is created. Most often, the surface is covered with a thin layer of cement mortar, and then it is painted.

Warming the floor of the loggia with a penoplex

For warming the floor of the loggia we will need all the same tools and materials as in the past case. It should be noted that in this situation, it is necessary to take a responsible approach to the creation of the battens, on the basis of which it is possible to create a full-fledged wooden floor. It is necessary to make sure that the loads will not deform the material. Even in spite of the fact that the foam is a strong material, even small deformations will significantly worsen the properties of the insulation.

Once again it is worth noting that any slots and gaps between the sheets of material( even the smallest ones) need to be filled with mounting foam.

Before starting such construction work it is necessary to clearly understand that the area of ​​the loggia after the installation of insulation will be significantly reduced.

Internal insulation of the walls of the loggia

Many people believe that it is doubly effective to conduct the insulation of the exterior and interior of the same balcony. In fact, there is simply no special sense in conducting internal warming after the external insulation.

Obviously, external insulation will be more effective, but for a small apartment will be enough and what is available.

Before starting the process, you need to analyze the situation, which is connected with the means of communication. All wires, cables and pipes can be hidden under the insulation layer. If this is not possible, it is necessary to think about ways to bypass isolation.

Walls and ceilings must be cleaned. All cracks and cracks should be sealed with sealants or cement mixtures.

We need not only the same dowels that were used in the very first case, but also the glue for fixing the sheets of penoplex. Fixing foam again covers the space between the insulation sheets.

Next, a layer of foil material is created. All existing joints will need to be covered with building scotch.

Only after this stage can lay all the wires and pipes that can be hidden under a layer of finishing material or a layer of wood surface.

As the finishing material, it is best to use moisture resistant gypsum board.

As for the insulation of the ceiling, in most cases a thin sheet of foam is used, which is covered with a minimal layer of plaster.
