Not quite so long ago, the choice of materials for covering the balcony did not differ in its variety. All materials with which it was possible to sheathe the balcony fit into a capacious list of three items: lining, wallpaper on bustilate and whitewashing. Ten years later, the situation in the field of building materials has changed significantly. In order to understand what type of decoration for the balcony can not be used, we will consider what materials for the decoration of balconies are used.
In the process of decorating the walls, a cladding board, called a lining, is often used. The material has been used for cladding balconies and loggias for a long time, so it is a tested time.
Plastic PVC panels for decoration are used at least lining. This is due to their low cost and a good level of heat conservation. In addition to everything, the material is well washed, has high moisture resistance and ease of installation.
MDF panels are used to decorate the interior of a glazed balcony. This is due to the fact that the material does not tolerate moisture and cold.
Drywall copes well with its functions. It interacts well with all finishing materials, but it does not have a very high resistance to moisture. Material is most often used as an intermediate material.
Speaking of flooring materials, we cannot but mention the grooved board. It has high strength, does not accumulate moisture and even tolerates the conditions of an unglazed balcony.
Plywood for flooring began to be used relatively recently. It is much cheaper than tongue-and-groove and perfectly resists water. Alas, plentiful moisture often leads to warping of plywood.
As a heater for the walls of the balcony is often used a material based on foamed polyethylene. It quite easily raises the temperature level in the room to 15 degrees Celsius. The material is inexpensive and works well with such skins as drywall, wall paneling and other finishes.
As an alternative, thermal insulation with polystyrene foam and mineral wool is not uncommon.
Materials for covering the balcony are distinguished by their rich assortment. When deciding on the choice of finishes, it is very important to pay attention to the quality properties of a particular material. Not all of them are able to tolerate the abundant effect of moisture in an unglazed space. It is important to remember that the law prohibits finishing with materials that are combustible and pose a fire hazard.
