Most apartment owners seek to modernize their existing balcony. After such fundamental steps as glazing and warming, the issue of choosing a material for wall sheathing becomes relevant.
When deciding on the finish, it is first of all important to have an understanding of the purpose of the room. This will significantly reduce the range of choice, focusing on specific materials. In addition, it will not be superfluous to first take into account the practicality of the chosen casing, weighing its strengths and weaknesses.
The most popular and inexpensive material that will not only hide the walls, but also give coziness to the balcony space is a lining. Wood material is most often found in two forms: with natural humidity and dry. It should be noted that the lining is notable for its inexpensive price, good insulating qualities, as well as durability, environmental friendliness and ease of use.
The second type of finish in terms of popularity are MDF panels. Most often, they are presented in the form of flat type fibreboard coated with a polymer film or veneer. Speaking about the merits of the material, one cannot fail to note its great variety, ease of installation, practically the complete absence of the need for preliminary preparation of the walls, as well as a wide variety of shades and structures.
No more expensive way of lining is the use of drywall sheets. The unattractive appearance of drywall makes it an intermediate material before gluing the walls with wallpaper or another coating. Drywall is easy to install, it lends itself perfectly to shape changes and is not expensive. The disadvantage is its increased fragility and vulnerability to moisture.
Siding also belongs to the category of budget finishing materials. Siding panels are most often used for cladding the outer side of the walls of the balcony. This is due to the inherent resistance to atmospheric precipitation material. In addition, the siding is environmentally friendly and heat-resistant material. All these qualities make it an attractive option for selection.
Speaking of sandwich panels, one cannot fail to note their multilayer, which guarantees a high level of thermal insulation. The advantages of the material include resistance to biological effects, environmental friendliness, light weight and a good level of heat and sound insulation.
The listed types of finishing materials for a balcony are distinguished not only by their low cost, but also by their functionality. When choosing a finish, you should not give preference to materials with high combustibility or the ability to evaporate harmful substances.
