Initially, all balconies were aimed at providing residents of the apartment with access to fresh air. However, today, almost all apartment owners seek to glaze in these premises in order to expand the useful area, increase heat saving indicators and protect themselves from annoying neighbors and unnecessary extraneous views.
Due to the great demand for glazing, construction organizations offer various methods:
1. Standard. Provides for the installation of frames made of various materials – metal, wood or plastic. Glasses are inserted into the frames. This option is suitable for those who only want to muffle the sounds coming from the street, and also increase a couple of degrees temperature on the balcony.
2. Euro -operation. This method provides more solid characteristics during operation, but it also costs more. Euro -operation involves the following stages: installation of a window profile of imported origin; installation of glass or double -glazed windows; implementation of sealing the balcony, which provides for filling with sealant of all cracks and gaps; applying powder paint to the profile, which allows you to increase the resistance of the structure to extraneous influences, and also improves its external qualities.
To equip a real dwelling from the balcony, the following method should be used.
3. Euro -operation with insulation. In addition to glazing, a number of serious construction procedures are required: insulation of all walls, ceiling and floor; waterproofing; sheathing all surfaces with material to taste; solving the issue of heating the balcony; Carrying out lighting.
Glazing and insulation of the balcony will require considerable expenses of effort and time, but the result will be truly amazing!
