Many when warming the loggia with their own hands are thinking about the correctness of the work, because it is not enough just to install the heating system and glaze the loggia.
The insulation of the loggia consists in warming the floor, ceiling and walls, so that the heat does not go out into the street.
To begin with, you must decide on the method of insulation of the loggia, using the building material so that it has low thermal conductivity and does not create unnecessary loads.
Before starting to carry out repair work, you must prepare carefully designing your plans. First you need to prepare the room. If there is a metal fence on your loggia, then it must be removed, and in its place to install a brick parapet. But, in order not to weight the design of the balcony, it is best to use aerated concrete no more than 10 cm wide, which in the outer part needs to be finished in order to avoid absorption of moisture.
If you mainly use the balcony as a household, for example, to store things and drying of linen, then in this case it will be enough to install single -chamber double -glazed windows. If you use the balcony as a dwelling, then it is best to purchase two -chamber double -glazed windows, which will be a thickness of at least 32mm. But, when ordering window frames, take care of expanding the profile, which is fixed along the perimeter of the structure, to close the insulation and mounting seams on the outside.
Carrying out electrical work.
Such a finish will require you to accuracy, attentiveness and some work experience. It is best to entrust the implementation of this work with an experienced worker who can properly lay an electric cable so that you use switches, lighting devices and sockets with pleasure.
Thermal insulation of the walls of the balcony.
The construction of the balconies was made so that after delivery of the house by contractors, this part of the apartment often has no insulation, which you will have to take care of you. To date, thermal savings and small thickness can guarantee Penoplyx and Penophol insulation or Noviki of this group URSA XPS. But, before insovering the loggia with such materials, you must familiarize yourself with the instructions in which the method of installation of polystyrene plates will be presented. The mounting of the slab is best done in two ways:
Using special adhesive.
Thanks to the use of dowels.
In practice, it is recommended to use these two methods simultaneously.
First, foamplex is applied to the surface of the wall, the slabs of which should be firmly settled to each other. The seams and adjoining are best closed thanks to the mounting foam. The second layer consists of a foam that should be foil inside the room. During work, make sure that large seams or overlap are not formed. The joints of this material are glued with a special aluminum tape lamp.
