Balconies have traditionally been considered a place where you could store unnecessary things, that is, they were used as a warehouse. Today, attitudes towards such premises are changing. Often balconies are insulated so that you can comfortably stay there at any time of the year. The insulated balcony can be used both for work and for relaxation.
There are several options for warming the balcony. Most often, it is impossible to install heating devices there, and even without the use of warm glazing and high-quality insulation, they will bring little benefit. On the balcony, you can install the system underfloor heating, but also after insulation. In fact, heat-insulating materials are mandatory in the process of warming such rooms.
There are many types of thermal insulation on the market. Mineral wool and polystyrene have been and remain in great demand. There are more modern materials, which include expanded polystyrene and foam. The choice of a specific type of insulation depends on financial capabilities, the area of the insulated room, as well as the requirements for the result. However, all these materials somehow solve the tasks set for them, if the technology for their installation is correct.
It is necessary to glaze the balcony, and before the start of measures aimed at laying insulation. By means of polyurethane foam fill all discovered cracks through which heat can go outside. Penoplex is attached to the ceiling and other surfaces using building glue. Material dowels are fixed at the end. All joints obtained during installation of the insulation are also filled with polyurethane foam.
Be sure to take care of the vapor barrier. Penoplez is a quality material, but condensate can quickly render it unusable. For this reason, polyethylene should be placed on top of the insulation. This is the most affordable and common type of vapor barrier material. You can fix the polyethylene with small cloves and tape.
If polystyrene is selected as the insulation, you need to take care of creating a lag, between which the material will be attached. This variant of the heat insulator is closed most often with wood-shaving plates, on top of which the finish is laid.
Mineral wool is fixed on a previously created crate. It is worth remembering that while working with this insulation, it is necessary to use a mask and gloves.
