How to warm the balcony from the inside with your own hands - this question I had to ask myself when the idea came to my head to turn our inclemenious balcony in my home. As it turned out, sew in the room, which is a nursery, I am not at all comfortable. I wanted to privacy and silence to be fully focused on work, and I created interference to study and rest.
In this article, I will talk about how we managed to turn our cold and thoughtful loggia into a residential room, or rather to my working office and at what price it cost us. As well as give valuable tips to help you avoid mistakes and save your nerves and money)
When I have told about my idea close, you first all raised me on laughter. They began to say that there is little place there, and they scared the cold of the unheated room - after all, our loggia was essentially outdoor. In order for you imagine with what I had to face, I make a balcony plan. Three and a half square useful Square I was to turn into a full-fledged office, where we could fit the two sewing machines with table, cutting table, ironing board.
First window S. balcony door and access to the kitchen. This wall is basic - it is so warm, so you can not sow it. Subsequently, we refused to cover it with plaster, as the brick itself looks in the interior is pretty interesting. We only cleaned his surface with a skirt from dirt.
The second window is on the wall of the loggia, it demanded a complete replacement and stained glass windows. The photo is done after installing a new window with double double glazing.
The first from which my story began with a balcony, it is replacing the available glass package. When we drove into our new building, we saw that on the loggia (unlike other rooms) the developer set the windows into one layer of glass. Of course it was summer option, they missed cold. Only on the replacement of the glass package was not a question, because I still wanted to change the shape of the frame, to make the opening sash of other sizes. I do not know how the project of our house was done, but the architect clearly did not try for the convenience of tenants. Therefore, first of all, I found a firm that manufactured a good two-chamber window on our sizes. As the tinners stated, such a window is 25% more ensures the preservation of heat in the room than that which stood from the developer.
When ordering a new window was one small pole, which weight gained the amount of our expenses is lamination. That is, from a street side, all frames of our house windows are dark - burgundy color, under the tree. So we also had to not be out of the overall picture and make a window in general color gamma. Behind the lamination of the company's manufacturing is asked from 20% of the total cost.
The price outside the window is 2580 * 1520 cm. With a burgundy frame, with installation and delivery amounted to 20,700 rubles. A dismantled old window, we have benefited from Avito website.
Important (!) - If you are going after installing the window to warm the balcony and build the ceiling, then tell me about it. They will put extends on the top of the window so that your zoomed ceiling does not close the shutters and you might hang curtains.
The loggia usually has walls in one layer of bricks, the worst option is a balcony from a professional flooring. Therefore, in order to feel comfortable in this room during the cold season, a heater is needed.
There are two options how to make loggia warm. The first is to open the balcony door so that it is heated by the adjacent room. Second - mount electric "warm" floors or buy oil radiators.
I will say immediately on our experience - we did not have enough heater, and we decided to put a warm floor. Despite the fact that the walls of our loggia were insulated, there was a cold from the neighbors from above and below - after all, their balconies remained displeasted.
At the very beginning, her husband was advised to make the insulation of the balcony with their own hands, in general, he has a hand with a hand - it can also put the laminate and shove the tile. But in the case of a balcony, I did not have time to wait until he finds his free time, it was necessary to work a professional, as it would be worthwhile for himself more expensive. So we found a master who deals with this case and watched his work on the part. I found him through Avito, for which I first paid attention - real photos and accommodation in our area (so that he can go for lunch, while not spending a lot of time).
I wanted not easy to see a balcony panels, but to make the walls, which later could be blocked, so for internal trim We chose plasterboard. The search for a good specialist who would be engaged in work with plasterboard and monting of wiring (after all, I still needed outlets and lighting) as it turned out not an easy task. But I was lucky and found a good specialist who promised me to realize my idea of \u200b\u200blife! On his advice after removing all measurements, we purchased for the insulation of our loggia:
The most important thing in this list is the insulation. It is at the expense of him that you get a full-fledged living room. We chose two types of insulation:
The first appearance, for the insulation of the floor - Technonikol Rocklayt. It is rectangular plates compressable from basalt fibers, it is called it in common mineral Vata.. Do not be afraid that it can have an adverse effect on the air to the room (many write about harmful evaporation and TP.), On the contrary, due to the ability to skip moisture, and not to delay it, it is widely used in the insulation of rawrooms, where there is a possibility of mold and fungus. . According to Tekhnonikol - its slabs are not lit and do not absorb moisture, so today they are recognized as the most best insulation On the market. In order to cover the floors of the loggia with an area of \u200b\u200b3.8 m. In two layers we needed 1 packaging TechnoNIKOL Rocklayt, in which there were 12 plates.
The second insulation that we used is TECHNONICK TEKHNOPLEX For inner wall sheat. As I mentioned above, the developer built our loggia into one layer of bricks, due to this, it was blowing from every corner. In addition, non-comfortable stained glass windows were installed in the sides of the windows from the window, which were attached to the house a business view, and inside for tenants served as a source of constant drafts and moisture. This species The insulation is manufactured from the Nanographs, due to this it has an unsightly gray color. Although by weight and appearance He recalled me more foam, but despite his ease he has excellent heat insulating characteristics. After our balcony stopped reminding a bamboo hut, I began to think about how to make sound insulation from the living room in the living room with the help of these magic plates)
Third view of the insulation - He is more like an addition to the first two, it metallized substrate ISOLON or ISOLAR. We all know that the brilliant surface reflects well. It is this ability of the metallized surface of the substrate that allows you to redirect the heat inside the room, as if reflecting it and do not give out to the outside.
According to the final I can say that all insulation coped with their tasks with a bang, they really keep warm, like a thermos. But at the same time passes the extra moisture, preventing the formation of mold.
1. Clean the balcony from all over. Before the arrival of the master, we cleaned our balcony from the rubble and garbage, the window was already installed and the heating radiators were already installed.
2. Latin "Hole" stained glass windows with insulation slabs Tehtonol Tekhnoplex. On the outdoor view of the house it did not affect anywhere, and for us the problem of eternal drafts was solved. The plates were laid in two layers, all the slots are filled with mounting foam.
Slicing slabs After removal of measurements, it is performed using a jigsaw and hacksaws for metal.
3. Disagreement of electrical wiring on the balcony. In my workshop, it was planned to install three sockets for sewing machines and a laptop, the wires were pulled from the nearest outlet from the kitchen.
4. Floor insulation with the help of bars and insulation TEKHNONIKOL Rocklayt (mineral wool). According to our master, he most likes to work with this type of insulation. Since when placing it between BRUSEV, it independently expands and leaves no cracks, which means it does not require the use of mounting foam.
Although basalt wool and glass gamble are two different things, I still reinsured and diligently closed the door to the balcony until he put the floors. And then within an hour, I vacuum all the walls. Our master of course laughed for a long time when I saw how I go to a medical mask and gloves. For me, any mention of glass gambles is a fear of childhood, when we ran towards the construction and inadvertently taped glass gambler, any of us got a burn, after which it was long and burned.
From wooden bars, a frame or the so-called formwork for the future floor and walls is first assembled. Between the rails are bonded with metal corners using dowels and shurtpers.
If the frame is stacked on a concrete, then the holes on the drill drill are drilled by concrete semi In places of fasteners. Then B. wooden lagows Dowels are inserted, applied to places of fastening and scores are clogged with a hammer.
Mattes from mineral wool can be laid immediately on the concrete tie, in wooden frame between lags. It does not give a shrinkage at all, so it is used even on surfaces with high patency.
To give the floor of additional thermal insulation properties - over the first layer of the insulation from basalt wool You can build a second frame of the crate and put another layer of Technoniscus Rocklayt. In this case wooden bars Mix the surnippers on the self-tapping screw.
Further, a layer of isolan is a metallized substrate, which reflects heat and protects against moisture, is widely used when creating a warm balcony (loggia). After laying all the layers of building materials, we have achieved the same with the floor level without thresholds and steps.
Important (!)- Metallized substrate is placed by reflective surface up.
5. The insulation of the ceiling with the help of the insulation TEKHNONICK TEKHNOPLEX. Two wiring for ceiling lamps were installed in our ceiling. So before proceeding to the installation of the ceiling, under wooden bars Electric wiring was removed. I really like this way - it looks neatly, without unnecessary wires. Electricians from there is something to learn from Bashkir masters)
6. Wall insulation with the help of the insulation TEKHNONIKOL TEKHNOPLEX.
The main difference between the insulation from the Nanographs from basalt wool is that it is not elastic. Therefore, when installing it into the crate, cracks remain, which then you need to fill the mounting foam.
After all the joints were processed, a metallized substrate of Isolar is superimposed on top of the insulation. It is attached to the crate using a stapler and a special tape (connecting tape) - Izospan.
After the entire surface of the entire surface of the metallized substrate, top with the help of self-sinks and a surnupture, plasterboard sheets are attached to a wooden crate.
After the balcony was completely trimmed with plasterboard sheets, including the ceiling, we had to shock the walls. It is impossible to glue the wallpaper on bare plasterboard, because the upper layer consists of paper and when wets can move. Additional processing of the sheet surface includes primer and putty.
At this stage of work, our master left us, as he was engaged only with insulation, and the work of plasters with Malyar did not enter his duties. We had a choice - or find a new employee, or to take a spatula in my hands. A significant role in the choice played the amount that plasterers were asked - professionals for processing our small area.
Therefore, my friends, I first took a spatula in my life and walked my balcony myself (just below I posted a photo with the result). But I will immediately say that I liked plastering, as it turned out to work with a plaster mixture, it is not at all difficult, and if you are not particularly picky to your walls - boldly take the trowel and master the new type of activity! Subsequently (as the craft masters scared me), after drying, I did not fall off, and the loggia became still warmer - after all, I myself responsibly smeared all the gaps and joints.
So, in order to launch a balcony, the plasterboard sheets, it took me:
1. At first I went through the walls of the primer to improve the grip with finishcoat. Waited 40 minutes to complete drying.
2. Baked all joints on drywall ribbon - Serpenta. It forms a solid adhesion with a binding mixture, which is especially important on seams and corners.
3. Prepare a solution. I first spread everything according to the instructions, and then prevented the plaster with the water to the eye. For the second time you already know exactly what a consistency should be a solution. I applied plaster in two layers. I went to work for four hours. I concluded that you can cope and learn to work with a spatula even if you are new. What I could judge the photo. The color of the plaster "Volga layer" after drying becomes not white, and gray, so the ceiling had to be blossoming with water-level paint.
TOTAL on our loggia with an area of \u200b\u200b3.43 sq.m. We left 51.100 rubles. The amount of expenses depends on what size the area will be warmed, and what materials for this will be used. As you understand, the insulation of the balcony in Khrushchev will cost much cheaper than the insulation of a large balcony with panoramic windows.
1. Morally prepare for what you need to take a temporary space for building materials. All these insulation, plasterboard sheets and wooden bars are impressive in size and occupied our entire hallway with an area of \u200b\u200b13 sq.m. It was especially difficult for me with young children who would not keep in place and had to constantly monitor them so that they would not stumble and did not spread the dirt around the apartment.
2. Separately, it is worth saying about the garbage and dust. Despite the fact that all dirty work was carried out on the loggia, the builder had to go between the balcony and the hallway behind the materials and tools. Therefore, the entire floor was covered with chips and garbage. I had to spend wet cleaning with a rag and a vacuum cleaner after his work. This is an important reason - why I quickly wanted to finish with the insulation of the loggia.
3. The amount we were negotiated at the beginning of the purchase of building materials was approximate. That is, in the process, I still had to buy something.
4. One person with all the works just do not cope. There are two outputs: find a turnkey repair company, the rates of which begin with 50 thousand rubles. Or did we - we were looking for a wizard for each option separately. According to the result, for the whole process of insulation of our loggia, we needed: specialists in the manufacture and installation of windows, plumbing, master of insulation and lining of balconies, plasterer - painter. It happened cheaper than order from the organization, but I had to spend time in search.
5. Keep in mind if you still decide to insulate the balcony with your own hands without the help of a specialist, then you have to have the necessary tool at your hand. It is a jigsaw and caps, a drill, a hammer, a screwdriver, a gun for sealant, a perforator, a construction line with a level, a mounting construction knife on plasterboard, construction stapler.
6. Do not throw out checks, they may come in handy when the repairs will end and unused building materials will remain. For 14 days from the date of purchase, they can be handed over to the store and get back their money, provided that the packaging remained unborn.
7. Shopping is best done in large network stores. For example, Lerua Merlen gives customers the opportunity to return the goods unused in repair during 100 days after the purchase. I did not have any difficulty to return the extra rolls of wallpaper, glue and not approached in the height of the eaves.
I hope you helped our experience, how to warm the balcony from the inside with your own hands with step by step photos. Many complain that after insulation, the loggia still remains cold. We specifically measured the temperature on the balcony, with a minus on the street. She remained the same warm and comfortable as in the apartment.
Work on the insulation of the balcony is certainly difficult and dirty. But how much joy is now in my own workshop. I have my own little cornerwhere I can quietly work without interfering with my loved ones, create in the personal space. So if you have an idea to make yourself a working office, but there is no place in the apartment - pay attention to the balcony or loggia. All success, while!
The creation of a favorable microclimate on the loggia implies not only the insulation of the walls, all space should be hermetically. A material with a low degree of thermal conductivity is also shedding the surface of the floor and ceiling. In our article you will learn how to warm the balcony from the inside.
Advantages and disadvantages are peculiar to each type of thermal insulation. In order to choose the most suitable insulation, you should compare the main characteristics of thermal insulators.
The most common options for thermal insulators:
The thickness of the sheets varies in the range from 2 to 20 cm. Mineral wool is divided into three types, depending on the components of the raw materials:
An example of a mineral wool device on loggia. The material is stacked in the prepared design. Mounting frame can be made of metal profiles or wooden bars.
Manufacturers produce wool in the form of mats and soft rolls. In some cases, one side is covered with foil. Aluminum foil allows you to improve the level of thermal insulation.
When laying a mineral wool, the foil side should be directed inside the room. This principle allows heat to reflect the aluminum coating and return to the room.
The main disadvantage - moisture acts destructively, a device of vaporizolation is necessary.
Pay attention to the integrity of the packing of mineral wool before purchase. Moisture adversely affects the properties of the heat insulator. For quality insulationIt is necessary that there is dry in the space of the loggia.
Polyurex, PPU, foam, foamed polyethylene are polymers treated with foaming compositions.
Advantages:
The main minus: Support the spread of the flame during the fire, distinguish harmful substances during the combustion process.
When choosing a foam and other materials based on polymers, it is necessary to correctly choose the thickness of the plates and determine the density
If planned winter operation Spaces, in this case, choose a thickness of 50 mm. The density is determined by the further coating - the value of 25 kg / cube is suitable for putty. m.
1. Sheets of foam
Insulator plates (polystyrene foam) in the process of laying.
Polyfoam refers to budget ways to insulation of the loggia, however, it is considered a fairly fragile material, so a lamp is needed for installation. A decent substitute is the extruded polystyolster, it does not require the creation of a special framework for its laying.
2. Polyurex
As a heater, plates of extruded polystyrene foam (thickness 50 mm) are used. The seams between the elements are closed by mounting foam. Fleecex is fastened with special plate dowels ("fungi").
3. Penophol.
The material is used as a separate heat insulator, also with foam insulation of polystyolster, can also be provided. Due to the foil side, the indoors reflects and delayed warm air.
In order to accelerate the insulation of the structure, an alternative heat insulation method can be used - polyurethane foam spraying (PPU).
4. Polyurethane Foolder
PPU is one of the most modern heat insulators. The cost of applying services is considered high, compared with other analogues, however, many have time to evaluate operational properties PPU. For this insulation, high rates of thermal insulation are characterized, thanks to a small-handed structure.
Polyurethane foam spraying is carried out by specialists mounting work One day is enough for complete drying, it will not be necessary long.
In order to increase the useful area in your home and exploit the room round year Need:
1. Close the gapsif they are available. Carefully examine the room to eliminate all the flaws of the design. As a rule, the slits are filled with mounting foam, even if they have a significant size.
After complete drying, it is necessary to cut the surplus.
2. Glazing with reliable glass packages.
3. Organize a waterproofing layer. To protect against moisture, waterproofing with penetrating properties is "Penetron", "Aquaton", etc. The composition is applied with roller, brush, or spray. Such impregnation penetrates into the thickness, so the walls become maximum resistant to adverse weather, strength characteristics are improved.
The waterproofing layer device eliminates the most minor crack cracks that may not be visually visible.
5. Installation of the vapor insulating layer. In order to make vaporizolation, special polymer membranes should be applied ("breathable"), as well as Rockvul films, Izospan, Penofol.
When using foam, lay the insulation in such a way that the side covered with the foil was directed inside the room. In compliance with this condition, heat will constantly reflect the foil, lingering inside the space.
A detailed description of each stage can be found in the article: .
The purpose of creating interior decorations:
To create a balcony interior, you can choose various options Finishes. For the finish layer, plaster, plastic panels, MDF, lining, plywood, sheets, and even a block house are perfectly suitable.
The lining panels are environmentally friendly and reliable. One of the main advantages of the finishing material is rigidity. The lining is fixed on a wooden skeleton frame.
Loggia walls are truncated flooring - Laminate.
Facing balcony by a block house.
IN plastic panels There are grooves for connecting elements. Plastic option The lining has less rigidity and strength than wood.
Installation of sheets of G Clac on metal profiles. Plasterboard plates can be drawn up with wallpaper, paint, or fade with decorative plaster.
Registration of walls by wallpaper on top of the sheets of G Clac.
Bamboo wallpaper. The foundation for finishing decoration is plasterboard.
1. The result of the warriology insulation.
Swimmed balcony. Demonstration of electrical conclusions. Check the strength of extruded polystyrene foam. The use of polyplex 30 and 50 mm thick, wall finishing with putty. Concrete screed Floor over plate insulation.
2. Stages repair work on the balcony.
The sequential process of arrangement of the room. Scheme of thermal insulation walls by foam and foamed polyethylene, finishing - panels of plastic. Gender: Alignment, heat insulation, OSB slab cover, installation of laminate lamella.
.With the help of insulation, you can turn the balcony in the cozy residential premises, and at this stage is required. There are several types of materials for the insulation of the balcony from the inside. Each of them has its own features of application. Knowledge of the nuances will help choose the optimal view of the insulation for each specific case.
Maintenance specificationsFor which you need to pay attention to when choosing heat-insulating materials for balconies and loggias:
It is also worth considering the features of the installation - the simplicity of the process is especially important if it is planned to be carried out independently without the involvement of specialists.
The most common sheet material for the insulation of balconies. In its composition is frozen foam, in the closed pores of which air is enclosed. For insulation, polyfoam thickness is usually used 5 cm, for a more harsh climate, it is recommended to choose thicker sheets. up to 10 cm.
The material has a number of benefits that have led its popularity:
The main disadvantages of foam:
For the insulation of the balcony, it is necessary to choose a building foam produced by extrusion method, density 35-40 kg / m3. Species with less 25 kg / m3 are packaging materials and are not suitable for construction work. To determine the quality of the material, break a piece from the sheet and look at the structure. The construction foam has cells in the form of polygons, the packaging consists of easily separated balls.
Penoplex - close relative of the foam, but with much best properties and characteristics. The special technology of production of this material allows to obtain a porous, almost uniform structure with a uniform air distribution in isolated cells. Due to this structure, the material has a lower thermal conductivity indicator compared to conventional foam and other insulation. This is the main advantage of the foam, according to other indicators the material is close to foam.
The market presents several types of fasteners that are marked in accordance with the purpose:
There are several types of this insulation material. For balcony it is better to choose basalt Minvatu As the most eco-friendly view with the best technical and operational characteristics.
The material has an impressive list of advantages:
Minvat has its own minuses:
This is a universal material with moisture, sound and thermal insulation properties. It is a thin layer of foamed polyurethane with an aluminum coating, which has the ability to reflect heat. Produced in a roll form, it is characterized by simplicity of installation.
Usually used in a complex with other materials.
To ensure the heat insulation required for residential premises, the use of only foams is not enough! Depending on the purpose, several varieties are produced:
In its composition, it is a polyethylene with a foil layer. Light universal material, produced most often in roll form and is an excellent choice for balcony insulation:
Basic disadvantages:
Insulation is preceded by a number preparatory stagesThe sequence of which depends on the general state of the balcony, the selected technology of work and the type of materials used:
Roll materials (foam, isol) are attached directly to the wall. Laying tile insulation (foam, penplex or minvata) can be performed in two ways:
The optimal choice for the insulation of the balcony or loggia is Pestelex. Minvata will allow to obtain a comfortable room in the degree of heat and sound insulation, but it is a more expensive material. If high sound insulation requirements are not made to the balcony, then cheap foam can be used for its insulation. The use of foam and isophola in a combined loggia insulation will make it possible to achieve the best results.
The right choice of thermal insulation materials is the key to high-quality insulation and a long service life of a balcony room as an additional residential room.

Any target year-round use of a balcony space assumes its insulation, of course, if you do not use a balcony as a freezer in winter. Cabinet or "Chulatchik" for storing conservation, winter Garden Or a place of a secluded rest ... How to insulate a balcony with your own hands for doing the intended?
The sequence of action on the insulation of the balcony is in such steps:
First of all, study the condition of the balcony, both from the side of the street and from the apartment. And it does not matter that you have already been on this balcony hundreds of times - a new look at the balcony from the point of view of repair, will allow you to see previously invisible and explore the insulated surfaces.
Make up work plan. Let it be a preliminary plan, but it will allow you to decide on procurement. essential materials, glazed box, etc.
Solving the task how to insulate the balcony with your own hands, you will need information about the main methods of insulation. Do not limit the material of this article only. The more you know - the more different possibilities in the repair will open before you.
Important! The next step of your actions should be the "total eviction of the inhabitants" of the balcony. After all, the usually laptile balcony is a place for storing many unnecessary things.
Since you plan to warm the balcony, you should take care of a reliable basis for setting the glazing frame. The standard Parapet of the Soviet balcony building has a parapet in the form of a thin low metal fence, which itself is quite durable, but the quality of its fixing in the balcony plate often leaves much to be desired.
But even if it is fixed well and is able to withstand the weight of the glazing frame, it is not possible to qualitatively to secure the frame on the parapet.
The fact is that the standard parapet is actually through the edge of the concrete balcony plate. And if you install a frame on such a parapet, then it will have to drill the upper plate to be drilled almost on the very edge, which will inevitably lead to the "digestions" of the latter.
In order to qualitatively, consolidate the glazing frame from all sides, including on top, it is necessary to shift the plane of the frame installation of the balcony by several centimeters (5-7cm) relative to the edge of the top plate. You can check the need to perform such a reconstruction using a plumb.
This will be due to the detriment of the useful balcony area, but will allow you to securely secure the frame for its many years of life.
Attention! Fasten the frame mounting foam It is unacceptable, since over time (1-2 years), under the influence of the Sun and wind loads on the plane of the windows, it is destroyed.
This design optimally can be performed from the bar of 50x70 mm. The use of gas-blocks is not quite acceptable, as they will create an additional weight load on the balcony slab, which complete with the heavy design of the glazing frame can lead to a balcony.
It is necessary to decide exterior finish Parapet. Performing such work to glazing will provide you with a lot of facilities for installation, such as siding. You can view the mass of materials outside the format of this article.
Briefly from such a material, as siding can be said that it refers to the PVC group of profiles. This is frost-resistant and resistant to atmospheric sediments, applied to outdoor work.
The profile design provides the convenience of mounting, which is particularly careful on the balcony. The consequence of the unscrupulous and illiterate installation of siding - the strips cut off the wind, which are so easy to put on the place.
Be careful! When mounting siding, it is categorically contraindicated for health to be engaged through the balcony parapet for mounting the external finishing material. All work on consolidation of siding can be carried out and should be carried out through the lattice of the balcony fence. And for the safety of work, use the mounting belt with chain and carabin.
The outer finish of the balcony can also be made by plastic lining or professional flooring.
Deciding to insulate the balcony with their own hands, you will not pass by the stage of its glazing. The glazing of the balcony can be carried out throughout the perimeter of the parapet or partially by making "deaf" side walls and side parts of the front side. I hope you have already realized that a serious reference design is needed under glazing, the presence of which will guarantee longevity window frame balcony. As glazing today, the optimal option in comparing the price-quality is metal-plastic windows. Their wear resistance and durability in the "Company" with right mounting Such windows in leadership positions in the building materials market are firmly held.
For the insulation of balconies, you can use single-chamber (there is a possibility of freezing in winter) or two-chamber double-glazed windows ( perfect optionBut heavier).
Framework profiles It is desirable to choose five-chamber from reliable manufacturers.
For more information about the choice of glazing option, read in the article "Warming Loggia".
How to warm the balcony after glazing? It is now predominantly about internal insulationSince "Conducting" insulation "works outside at an altitude with your own hands is not recommended - refer to the specialists with the gloves.
How to insulate a balcony from the inside? And the better to insulate the balcony inside?
All materials and technologies used must comply with such criteria:
Heat the balcony is qualitatively possible only with mandatory insulation of support parapet, gender, ceiling and right and left side walls. On the little balcony Effective will be the use of effective thin insulation, for example, foam, fasteners.
In choosing a method of insulation of the balcony with your own hands, you should decide on the choice of heat-insulating material. What insulate the balcony inside? What insulation is better for the balcony? Suitable basalt, mineral wool, foam (foam!). The optimal choice There may be foamed polystyrene foam, resistant and to the effects of moisture, temperature drops, aggressive environmental impacts and, at the same time, which has high indicators of thermal insulation qualities.
Before mounting the insulation, the plane of the installation must be thoroughly hydroizing from the external exposure of moisture. For these purposes, a waterproofing film is used (up to 200 microns) or foamed polyethylene (4-10 mm). Mounting is made on double-sided adhesion, brackets, foam, glue - the choice of method depends on the basis. Sheets of sheets are carefully skidded with scotch.
The thermal insulation layer must be coated with a layer of vaporizolation. This can be foam foam. This material They have a foil side in the premises inside - this will create an additional heat transfer layer.
Attention! In the case of using a cotton insulation, a must-recommended element is a layer of vapor barrier, which is designed to prevent a warm steam from entering the room in a layer of vaporizolation.
Polyfoam is also polystyrene foam, it is a heat insulator with low thermal conductivity due to its structure saturated with large air bubbles. Available for use in plates with a thickness of 50-150 mm. We are suitable plates up to 100 mm thick.
The advantages of the insulation of the balcony with foam can be attributed to the hygroscopicity of this material, that is, its resistance to moisture.
"Steps" in the process of insulation of polystyrene foam:
Polyfoam - like insulation on the balcony Penoplex or extruded polystyrene foam is better, but more expensive material for the insulation of the balcony. 20-100mm thick plates are often a stepped protrusion on the edges, allowing you to get a high-quality connection when docking a "quarter" or "spike-groove".
At temperatures to "-25 o C", a layer of insulation is 40 mm. In the "frosty" climatic conditions, a layer of polyplex 50-70mm is required.
Heating the penplex, act like this:
Note! If the front wall of the balcony is made of foam blocks or other "solid" material, then for installation on it (also on the side and ceiling surfaces) of the foxing should not be made wooden or other crate. In comparison with the heat-insulating properties of the fastener, the tree is the worst heat insulator. Therefore, the lamp will simply create "bridges" of the cold, which will be very sensible. For later installation of drywall or lining, the crate is made on top of the layer of vapor polyplex layer. Formed air "pockets" will play the role of additional thermal insulators.
If, in response to a question, what material to insulate the balcony, you will say - mineral wool! Well - this is an option, but not the best. For we have almost come to the controversy "which insulation is better for the balcony" to the dominant answer - Pesoplex. And the wool at low thickness will not give a sufficient heat insulating effect, but it will be a little "complex" in the installation when eliminating the slots between its plates.
But, "Master - Barin"!
Tell me how to insulate the balcony from the inside mineral wool:
Note! When insulating sex, working with mineral wool will be much easier. It is placed between lags on a waterproof surface. From above are covered with a layer of vapor insulation and a black floor material.
If your insulated balcony is not one of the room with a room, and is still the window and a balcony door from it, it will be useful to install an additional heating device on it. Optimal option There will be an electric heating appliance: convectors, oil or ceramic radiators. The power source in 1 kW will allow you to install the necessary comfortable temperature on the balcony of up to 4m2. . For large Square Balcony It is recommended to use two heat sources with a capacity of 1 kW for a more uniform warming up of the entire volume and walls of a warmed balcony.
Today, materials have been available for the organization of "warm floor". The power consumption of a warm floor made using a heating electrocable for a standard balcony (up to 4 m 2) will be approximately 1 kW.
This is read more detailed in the article "Installation of a warm floor under the tile."
If you are using an individual heating system, think about water radiators on a warmed balcony.
And so! .. How to insulate the balcony with your own hands, you have already read! Read also in other sources! After all, it is still possible to warm the balcony from the inside ... and liquid insulation…
Now it remains to decide on the option, the better to insulate the balcony inside, or choose a few in order to calculate how much the balcony is worth it.
Yes, more! Trust the process of glazing the Balcony "Profi" - why risks expensive designs, as well as people and cars moving under your balcony.
Balcony or loggia is unheated premises in the apartment. Consequently, they are a source of heat loss from an apartment or at home. Even good glazed balcony Misses a significant amount of heat.
To avoid this, the insulation of a balcony or loggia from the inside is performed. It should be noted that there are various approaches to the insulation of this type of room.
- the balcony is not intended for storage, insulate in order to reduce heat loss from the room. In this case, work is carried out according to the scheme of similar with external heating. Those., Only one side is insulated, adjacent to the wall of the room;
- balcony is designed for storage. It is insulated around the perimeter of all surfaces. Since there should be no high temperatures, the requirements for thermal insulation materials are not highlighted;
- balcony, which is a continuation of the living room or performing the function of the office, library, a gym, and the like. In this case, remove heat loss through the windows and all surfaces. And as used materials, heat insulators with high density and significant thickness are used. Special attention is paid to the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the material and the rules for its installation.
Consider ways of insulation of the balcony using various insulation and give some important important. practical SovietsHow to make loggia insulation more efficient. We will proceed from what is needed to warm the balcony in all surfaces inside - walls, ceiling and floor.
If you have not yet decided, the better to insulate the balcony or loggia from the inside, we suggest familiar with the popular thermal insulating materials. Each of them has the advantages and disadvantages that are in characteristics, cost and installation methods.
Durable, tight material, which poorly supports burning. Resistant to moisture, has a low thermal conductivity coefficient.
Dense insulation. It has the lowest thermal conductivity coefficient, low weight, high strength and low cost.
Soft insulation. Works at the expense of its structure. Fibers located in chaotic order contain air, which does not allow heat to penetrate the wool. Working with cotton need to create an additional framework.
Spray insulation. The material is good because it does not miss moisture, makes it possible to adjust the insulation thickness and allows you to get a coating without seams. And this, in turn, eliminates the appearance of cold bridges.
Multilayer material. The polystyrene substrate holds the heat, and the aluminum screen, which is similar to the heat mirror, allows you to reflect heat inside the house. It can be used by itself or in combination with other insulation.
Bulk insulation. It has a porous structure, due to which it retains heat well. Talking for insulation of the floor.
Using these materials for the insulation of the balcony and the loggia, you can additionally provide good sound insulation (subject to glazing by plastic windows).
A mandatory accompanying attribute with insulation from the inside by the majority of the title materials is the film of the vapor and gibeer or superdiffusion membrane. She is designed to protect the insulation, especially soft from the wetting and appearance of condensate.

- Frame method. In this case, you must first equip the frame from the antiseptic treated wooden boards or galvanized profiles. The boards are more popular because they are cheaper and make it possible to adjust the thickness of the frame. Most often used bar 50x50. In the resulting cells are filled with insulation.
- Frameless method. More preferable, however, only suitable for hard insulation. This is due to the fact that the framework material during the frame method remains not closed with insulation. Those., Wood or metal serve as cold bridges and spend warmly warm. Therefore, in the overwhelming majority of cases, rigid insulation are mounted without the design of the frame.
Watts are stacked so that it fits tightly to the frame elements, but not "trambet", i.e. No need to additionally seal it. From this structure of Minvati will change and part of the air will disappear. This will reduce the thermal insulation properties of the wool. In order for Vata reliably on the wall, and especially on the ceiling, it is necessary to additionally fix it with the use of wire or umbrellas (dowels with a wide hat).
Mineral wool is fixed by "umbrellas"
Sometimes cotton boat at the framework, as shown in the figure. Then the frame elements are held by cotton. However, professionals do not recommend using this approach for cotton density (less than 50 kg / sq. Cuba), since the wool, held only in several places in time, will fall, opening part of the wall for the movement of cold air.
Wat closes a wrap of vapor barrier. Then the counterclaim is stuffed. It allows you to protect cotton from touching finishing material And avoid the appearance of the dew point in this place.
The hard insulation is also laid in the frame section and fix on the foam or special glue. The insulation is not fitted close to the frame, but with a gap of 5-10 mm. The gap is subsequently blown by foam, and the foam sheet is attached further by a plastic dowel - umbrella (fungus).
Foam sheets are tightly pressed against each other, and the joints of the junctions are foam.
Sheets of polystyrene foams are joined on the principle of "groove-crest".
A mansion in this group is a deposition method. Such heat insulation material As polyurethane foam, applied to the wall by spraying. Relatively new material in the market quickly conquers its fans among a professional and lovers. Because it allows you to perform insulation without additional preparation of the base. In favor of PPU says high speed Performing work - less than one day. Among the disadvantages - the high cost and the inability to perform the work independently without special equipment.
