At all times, the housing issue remained open to the public. And to date, not everyone can boast of their own independent housing. When there is a question about the expansion of the family, and to purchase a separate living space of funds and resources is not enough, you can go to all sorts of tricks. This can be done by turning the non-residential area of an existing apartment into a residential one. An example of this is the conversion of a loggia into a room. But not everything is so simple. In order for the loggia to be comfortable and unhindered to live in winter and summer, it must be insulated. You can do it with the help of wizards, or yourself.
What is better to warm the loggia? Typically for such purposes, it is customary to use materials such as penoplex, penofol, isolon, foam. Penoplex is considered a quality, as well as an expensive material for warming the loggia. It does not pass moisture very well, it keeps and keeps heat well, and is also a self-extinguishing material in case of fire. Polyfoam is a cheaper option, less technically stable. However, it is more often used because of its availability. Thanks to the installation of sheets from the above materials, the room temperature on the insulated loggia will remain stable.
The warming of the loggia has practically no effect on its overall design. Thickening of walls will be minimal and practically not noticeable. Therefore, you can safely realize the solutions that came to mind on the design of a new room and interior in it.
Step-by-step instruction
So, let's take a step-by-step look at how you need to insulate yourself with a loggia yourself.
- After the masters have installed double glazed windows on your loggia, and have made the exterior finish of the outer wall (if you use foam), you should begin to polish the foam with the inside. To do this, you must have special glue, insulation sheets, dowels, screws and mounting tape.
- We need to build a frame, which will be attached to the insulating sheets. It can be made of both wooden and metal profiles.
- After the frame is prepared we begin to lay the insulation material. Laying is recommended to be carried from the bottom up. In the case of foam plastic for fixing it is recommended to use both glue and dowels - this will enhance the reliability of fastening. Joints should be sealed with a mounting tape.
- The loggia is ready for finishing. Best of all, for this use wooden or plastic panels .
