There are two ways to increase balcony area - glazing removal or floor expansion. Both options imply the construction of metal structures of various complexity.
Tools and materials
Manufacturing and installation of the frame will require the ability to perform high-quality welding seams or appeals for help from specialists. In addition to the equipment, the tool is used for electrical or gas welding:
- Bulgarian and drill;
- Mount or Lomik;
- Level, roulette;
- Brushes and brush;
- Hammer.
Materials for work:
- Steel corners 50x50 mm;
- Profile pipes 40x40 mm;
- Anchor 6x20 mm;
- Proflist;
- Metal primer.
Metal rods and trimming from balcony fence can also be used during work.
Preparatory actions
The balcony is released from the objects of the situation and dismantle the old glazing. Remove floor covering and walls of walls. In the case of expansion based on the base, the railing is cut to the level of the stove. All actions are made in compliance with the safety measures operating at the height and the fence of the danger zone under the balcony.
Option One - removal of the windowsill
The method is based on the extension of the window system beyond the boundaries of the balcony by means of special brackets. The floor area does not change, and thanks to the displacement of double-glazed windows towards the street inside the windowsill is obtained up to 30 cm. Triangular brackets are made from the corners and fixed with welding on metal railing or anchors on a concrete parapet. Parts are combined with a thick corner, which serves as the base for window frames. If necessary, the parapet is reinforced by strapping from profiles, rigidly attached to the building wall. The glazing removal is produced from the front side or throughout the balcony perimeter.
Option Second - removal based on
A time consuming method requiring the construction of a complex engineering structure, but ensuring an increase in the floor area. Balcony's removal is more than 30 cm after agreeing with the administration and settlement. Expanding the base before this standard is performed in the following sequence:
- The perimeter of the plate is boiled with a steel corner.
- At the level of the draft floor, the clutch profile is mounted.
- Metal cut blanks for the lower frame.
- Details are placed by level and weld To the corners of the base.
- Based on the welding frame, a balcony fencing is installed.
- The side parts of the new railings are fixed by anchors to the wall.
- Collect the upper part corresponding to the dimensions of the lower frame.
- Metal elements are protected by primer.
- Canopy overlap the net.
The final stage
Manufactured design allows you to be done on the balcony wooden floor. The fill of the concrete surface will require the construction of additional backups, which complicates the process and is not always possible. Therefore, professionals recommend choosing a lightweight field cover. The final step will be arrangement of balcony - Outdoor decoration, ceiling and wall cover, as well as the installation of translucent systems. The use of sliding glazing will allow the use of space is still rational.
Installation of balcony expansion is a complex case based on the correct calculations and the analysis of the strength parameters, taking into account the future load.
