For many owners, the loggia is extremely important space, which is different not only convenience, for example, to fold things. Some people use loggia for recreation, for the cultivation of certain herbal crops. In fact, destinations for this space can be a lot. It is most important to remember what we have a limited space, as well as not forget about the overall specifics of the apartment.

People who have not the largest apartment are considering the option of combining the main room with a loggia. It should be borne in mind that not always such an idea is thoughtful, as often there are many problem points, among which the issue of insulation. Despite the presence of metal-plastic bags, the loggia is still easily drowning in the apartment. This should be avoided. First of all, it is worth conducting insulation of surfaces. Experts indicate that the colossal effect ensures insulation of the floor, so that even in the cool seasons you can get a warm space using at least minimal heating.

In this article, we will consider the specifics of the loggia insulation process. Despite the fact that this task may be extremely simple for many, it is impossible to exclude some of the specific details to be paid to first and foremost. Also in the material will consider the main problems with which the owners usually face with the insulation of the loggia.

Features of the insulation of the loggia

As you know, people are different, so for someone, the loggia is an amazing space that allows you to make the usual life more convenient. At the same time, other people do not use the loggia at all, and the space itself is empty over a long period.

You can say with confidence that if the apartment is large, then the space of the loggia does not matter. The situation is the situation in such a way that, in this case, people go to the balcony in order to admire the view of the street either in order to raise underwear after washing.

If we talk about people who value by each square centimeter of space, it is safe to say that the loggia is a fairly useful place capable of performing many functions. We talked about them at the very beginning, but much more important to ensure a comfortable stay on the loggia and in the winter.

Balconies and loggia are strongly susceptible to temperature changes. The surface that is located between the floor and glazing is quite thin, therefore, with the slightest change in the climate, the changes will be perfectly felt. Thus, it makes sense to take into account the specifics of the insulation of a balcony or loggia. Practice shows that this hosts are not so often resorted, but from this you can get a lot of positive moments.

Advantages of loggia insulation

• Comfort. If you have a quality warring of the loggia, then it can be located at any time of the year. This is especially good news for those who keep something on the balcony or just likes to enjoy the view. To enter the usual balcony at a minus temperature outside the window - the present test, given the cold concrete walls, ice wind, as well as the lack of heating.
• Warming throughout the house. It is often happening so that in the room that has a loggia is cooler than in other spaces. This is due to the fact that the loggia can be completely protected from low temperatures and wind, and it is these influences that have a negative effect on comfort in the entire apartment. In some cases, glazing helps, but without high-quality insulation, it is hardly possible to do.
• Ability to unite loggia with room. Only units among the owners of apartments are solved for such a step, but it is confidently said that it makes sense. At the same time, without insulation and using certain heating tools, the combined room is unlikely to succeed, unless you can remove the loggia frame and create a full-fledged wall.

Separate hosts see certain positive moments in the fact that on a warmed loggia can even create a small farm. We are talking about growing some crops, which may show good growth at an acceptable temperature mode, as well as a sufficient amount of ultraviolet.

Thus, the meaning in the insulation of the loggia is unequivocally, especially considering the fact that it is a fairly budget decision. Accordingly, almost all owners can afford it.

If you speak directly about the insulation of the floor of the loggia, then often experts use several options. A one or another method of insulation can be used in some conditions, and other options to pay attention to other options. Thus, it is necessary to analyze each option associated with insulation, and make certain conclusions.

First of all, it is worth looking at what should be done before laying insulation.

Preliminary events

• First of all, it is necessary to remember the atmospheric influences on the balcony slab. The situation is in such a way that regular contact with rain and wind gradually turn the plate into a rather dangerous basis. Thus, first of all, a major overhaul of this component should be carried out either, to begin with, simply analyze the state of this element of the structure. In the event that the slab is actually damaged, it will be visible immediately.
• It is also worth remembering that there is a need for the analysis of the flooring level of the loggia. Often there are irregularities or tilts, from which you need to get rid of the appropriate building materials. It is also interesting that when the floor insulation, the hosts often get the level of the surface, which is higher than that of the main room. Obviously, this is not the right solution, so you should pay attention to the thickness of the insulating material and on other parts affecting the surface level.
• It is important to pay attention to the fact that many owners make a decision to raise the floor level on the loggia using the cement screed. However, this is not always distinguished by a high level of security, since the load on the surface may be too high. Therefore, if possible, it should be limited to a small tie height, which will ensure the excellent horizontal surface.
• Well, the last stage associated with the activities passing before the insulation of the floor, this is the overall insulation of the loggia. It is obvious that one insulation of the floor will not allow to preserve the necessary level of heat, especially if we are talking about a loggia located on the north side of the building. Universal insulation is a good choice, even if it is necessary to spend a little more money than it was planned initially.

Specificity of floor insulation

Before starting the floor insulation, several important points should be noted:

• If you speak directly about the provision of heat on the loggia, then we must not forget about the full heating of space. However, it should be remembered that to bring central heating to the loggia is prohibited. Therefore, you need to look for alternative solutions to avoid all sorts of problems.
• As for events related to the flooding of sex on the loggia, it should be proceeding after the insulation process. Next, you can easily conduct experiments associated with finishing and similar issues related to the floor.
• The use of inefficient materials for floor insulation is a deliberately failure solution. The main material that really does not meet the requirements is clay. Experts note that in the use of clay inside the loggia, it is possible the most unacceptable solution.

Floor insulation foam

Surely many it is known that the foam is an inexpensive solution, but it has quite good thermal insulation indicators. It is worth paying attention to the fact that against the background of many other insulation, it may look like and weak enough.

As we have said earlier, the foam is one of the few materials that is used in construction and repair for many years. Thanks to its low price, the foam is used in large volumes.

Also positively on the demand of foam is influenced by the fact that this material can be easily replaced with ease to any other resource, while no cash flows are not paid. Despite this, a certain level of efficiency foam still demonstrates. It is worth paying attention to the fact that in the room where isolation is located in all the rules (the absence of gaps, voids, etc.), the foam will provide a fairly high level of comfort in terms of heat conservation.

The thickness of the foam sheets begins from 2 cm and often reaches 10 cm. It is in such a framework that it is more expedient to use insulation on the loggia.

In this case, there will be no extra lags of the floor, between which parts of the material are installed. It is worth noting the fact that when insulation it is necessary to provide peculiar tightness between the elements, so the most successful dimensions of the foam should be selected.

As for the slots, which will definitely take place on the floor, then they are filled with construction foam.

The effectiveness of such a decision, as already mentioned, is not the highest, but if the overall warranty of the loggia has been carried out qualitatively, no significant problems should be at all.

Insulation foamball

Recently, the Penofol is a common material that is used in a wide variety of spheres. The specialists note that its characteristics correspond to high insulating properties, and if applying material on the loggia, then it will not be the price at all.

Interestingly, the foam is applied not only as thermal insulation, but also to protect against water and high-profile noise. Therefore, one should not be surprised at too large price tags on similar products.

This material is supplied in rolls that can easily decompose throughout the required area. You can find one-sided and double-sided material on sale, however, a budget version of this product will be completely comfortable for the insulation of the balcony.

The material thickness ranges from 3 to 10 mm. Thus, it all depends on the conditions in which the material will be applied. For example, if we have enough harsh conditions on the loggia relating to low temperatures, it is better to purchase a fenophole that is distinguished by better insulation.

It is most important to remember that this material is actually highly efficient, and at the same time need to remember that even small gaps between the phenophol strips can have a serious effect on the insulating characteristics of the room. Specialists advise paying attention to the fact that with the help of aluminum tape with ease, all defects are insulated.

In some cases, experts note that the foam in the best way interacts with the penplex. Two of these material demonstrate a high level of efficiency. It is difficult to say whether it is somehow reflected in the limited space of the loggia, but it is worth trying.

Using Polymplats

Often specialists who have a lot of experience in repair and construction, make the choice precisely in favor of Polymphax. This is an extruded insulating material that is distinguished by excellent properties, best suitable for housing insulation. As part of the balcony, this option will also be quite good, especially if the insulation is amenable to the entire volume of the room.

Low vapor permeability is its important advantage that allows you to save even the minimum level of heat without unnecessary problems.

Unfortunately, the hosts wishing to carry out the repair process, this material is not chosen, since its value is really high, especially considering that we are talking about the insulation of the loggia. In the event that the area of \u200b\u200bthe loggia is extremely small, it is quite possible to limit the use of the fastener, this will in any case will be an inexpensive solution available for many.

Polympoth sheets are produced with a thickness of 2 to 5 cm, and it is thin insulating materials that are the best solution for the insulation of a loggia or balcony.

Mineral wool insulation

It is not a secret that mineral wool is one of the most common insulating materials. Surely the reason for this is not the highest price tag for this insulating products, as well as good characteristics of the material. Accordingly, almost every construction, a large or small, mineral wool takes a worthy place.

Not the most positive side of the selection of this material is the volume that the loggia or balcony occupies. In addition, given the fact that the material is porous, it is necessary to place mineral wool between lags, and from above to place a solid and reliable surface. Ultimately, the material should not succumb to some external influences, including deformations.

Despite this, mineral wool easily copes with low temperatures, high humidity and other problems that definitely have place to be.

At the same time, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the material has drawbacks. For example, they can be attributed to the fact that the material is ourselves, therefore, to move it and put it on a particular surface to people without experience will not be easy.

On sale mineral wool is available in sheets and rolls, so you can easily choose what will provide more convenience.

Specificity of insulation process

First you need to note that the process of the insulation of the loggia is quite simple, and it is especially well felt against the background of insulating work within a large house. The situation is in such a way that even newcomers who have not been engaged in such work can conduct a full-fledged insulation process.

The following tools and devices will be needed:

• construction knife;
• lobzik;
• drill;
• fasteners;
• mounting foam.

Also for marking will definitely do not prevent a pencil.

1. First of all, the floor surface is clean. We need to do everything possible so that there were neither debris in the floor of the loggia, which can significantly interfere with the process of holding work, as well as in obtaining a qualitative result.
2. In the event that the choice is made in favor of a thin insulation, the thickness of which is approximately 5 mm, it must be stacked throughout the surface of the floor, while avoiding even minimal gaps and other flaws. Again, it makes sense to use whole pieces of material, since any slots are negatively reflected on the effectiveness of isolation. Immediately after laying the first layer of material, the surface is performed around the perimeter to eliminate the likelihood of any gaps. The second layer of insulation is further stacked, and after that it is again a kind of sealing with a mounting foam.
3. Next, it is advisable to measure the overall width of the loggia, after which the jigsaw cut the wood bars. The step between the bars should be about 50 cm. Such lags should be durable and reliable. From the wall, the distance can be up to 10 cm.
4. After such draft works, we proceed to filling the space between the lags by polystyrene. Everything you can do everything to ensure that each unit of insulation tightly entered between lags. This will increase the effectiveness of insulation. Again, if the slots are present, you need to contact the mounting foam.
5. Now proceed to the use of foam. Ultimately, such a powerful composition of insulation will be incredibly effective. If the material is in a roll, you should do everything in order to cover the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe loggia by one approach. In the event that the size of the material is sufficiently limited, it is necessary to lay the penophol. The situation is in such a way that such effective use of the material will be most beneficial in terms of maintaining heat on the loggia.
6. Ultimately, floor leveling occurs using a chipboard or plywood. Materials that are distinguished by flexibility will not be better combined with equipped with insulating materials. Even before the flooring of the floor from plywood or chipboard, you can make sure that the gender isolation efficiency, especially if the window is sufficiently cool temperature.
