Floor decoration is an important element in the repair of a balcony. Both the comfort of operation and the appearance of the room depend on the flooring. Almost any engineering ideas and design fantasies can be realized with the help of materials that are available on the market. The balcony floor is no exception.
For the floor on the balcony, you can use carpet, tile, linoleum, laminate, wood and other materials. The choice of flooring depends on how it is planned to use this room in the future.
The choice of finishing materials expands significantly if the balcony has warm glazing, since in this case precipitation, high humidity and temperature changes will not adversely affect them.
For an unglazed balcony, it is worth choosing durable flooring options. It can be, for example, PVC tile or tile. High humidity cannot harm them, nor are they susceptible to corrosion. Wood is the second most popular flooring on glazed balconies. If the choice fell on this option, the flooring must be monitored, providing proper care. Wood needs to be treated from time to time with special compounds that protect the material from fungi and mold, and prevent the processes of decay and decay.
Before laying the flooring, it is imperative to carry out preparatory work. The concrete slab, which acts as the base floor on the balcony, must be cleaned of dust and debris. It is necessary to level its surface, eliminating the hollows and bulges. All slots must be closed. It is also worth making sure that the concrete is well-dried before finishing.
If residues of old flooring are present on the floor, they should be dismantled. Just laying on top of a new finish is not recommended, since the quality of the floor in this case is significantly reduced, the service life is reduced. It is also worth noting that the whole structure with unnecessary remnants of the old finish weighs more, and therefore, the load on the supporting elements increases, which can be very critical, especially in old houses.
An insulating material must be laid between the concrete base plate and the finish. It will protect the room and decoration from moisture, help to keep the heat indoors. Penofol is one of the best insulation options for a balcony floor.
