The optimal solution will be the installation of a warm floor, which will allow maintaining the desired temperature on the balcony or loggia even during severe frosts.
The possibility of using panoramic glazing to increase the area of the room is well suited for apartments with a poorly laid out layout. For example, they will help improve the interior of any Khrushchev. The small interior space of the rooms can be slightly enlarged, partially removing the wall separating the living space and the balcony. This transition will look neat when using a stylized screen, light curtains. Will complement such an interior and panoramic glassing of the balcony in Khrushchev, which will help make the room lighter and more spacious.
