A warmed balcony has a number of advantages. The most relevant among them is to maintain heat in winter. The quality of the work done on the thermal insulation of the balcony depends largely on the selected material. The insulation of the balcony is penopleyx - the best solution to the problem of conservation of heat.
Advantages of fasteners for balcony insulation
Penoplex - modern insulation with unique properties. Its thermal conductivity is lower than that of alternative materials: polyfoam, mineral wool and glass gamble. In this regard, the consumption of fasteners is more economical, it is required less than about one and a half times. It is capable of performing its functions at temperatures in the range from -50 to +75 degrees. The ability to not absorb moisture increases the service life of the fastener to 50 years, during which it is not deformed, does not destroy, retains its qualities. Despite the ease, the penplex - very durable material. This creates additional amenities in the work - it will not crumble, does not scatter when cutting. It is important for a person its following qualities: does not harm health, fireproof.
Materials and tools for insulation of the balcony of the penplex
Measure the area of \u200b\u200ball surfaces of the balcony, which will heat: walls, floor, ceiling. Penoplex take on the calculation of their total area with a slight margin.
For high-quality and qualifying performance, it will be necessary:
- Plates of polyplex of various thicknesses: 20 mm for floor insulation, ceiling, brick walls and 80-100 mm for insulation of the balcony grid.
- Moisture-resistant plasterboard or siding for finishing over the fastener.
- Plaques for flooring with a special antiseptic impregnation or an alternative - sand-cement screed.
- Foil polyethylene foam 3-4 mm thick.
- Mounting foam without toluene (it dissolves the penplex).
- An additional waterproofing material, if necessary.
- Working Tools: Hacksaw (or Wide Knife), Hammer, Drill, Perforator, Level.
- Self-tapping screw, dowel, tape, glue, sealants.
The accurate list of building materials to be used when insulating the balcony of the penplex depends on the characteristics of its structure and its own preferences.
Instructions for insulation balcony by penplex
Consider the procedure for performing measures to insulate the balcony from the inside.
Pre-think over all communications lines: electricity, Internet, television antenna, if they are planned to operate.
At the initial stage, a warm floor is stacked or a different heating system at the request of the owner.
Stages of work on the insulation of the balcony:
- If necessary, perform the installation of balcony windows, neatly changing the slots and joints.
- Prepare all surfaces: Remove the old coating, align the stucco of irregularities, close the cracks with putty, treat the antifungal agent. The surface of the balcony should be clean, dry.
- Fasten the plates of the fastener from the ceiling. If an additional plasterboard is expected is assumed, it is recommended to first treat the surface of the canvas with glue, pointing to the perimeter, and then fix with a wide hat with a wide hat at the rate of 5 pieces.
- On the floor of the canvas of the fox just put it tightly, without fixing the dowels. All joints make a mounting foam. If you want to cover the floor with a tile or other materials, then make a layer of cement-sandy solution with a thickness of at least 4 cm.
- Opening your choice on wooden floors, first install wooden lag over the entire floor surface. Load the insulation space between them, cover the tipped boards.
- Start the insulation of the walls to the complete drying of the mounting foam on the floor. The first sheet of the fox is immersed in a foam for the formation of a monolithic connection of walls with floor. The heaters of the insulation is attached to the walls as well as the ceiling - on glue and dowel fungi. The outer wall can be insulated with a double layer of polyplex, bonding the second row by mounting foam. All the seams do "in the disintegration" so that they do not coincide.
- Shakes close the foammetics, cut the surplus after hardening and close the seams by the usual tape to get a smooth surface.
- To increase vaporizolation, use foil material. Penofol cover the polyurethane glue on all the surfaces of the foil outward. Secure the joints with construction metallic scotch. Do not join the corners of the room, only on flat surfaces. So it is better achieved the effect of the "thermos".
- If the waterproof drywall laying is planned on top of the insulation sheets, then make the basis for it - a lamp from wooden plates. Place plasterboard on top of the crates, fix the self-drawing. Under the wooden trim, plasterboard is not required.
- Perform the finishing lining of the balcony with the selected finishing material: wallpaper, "lining", cork panels, etc.
Warmed with their own hands and the equipped balcony will require minimal costs. It can be equipped with a children's playground, a greenhouse, a small office, a place of rest and hobby occupation.
A good and useful article turned out - everything is clear and competently described.
Thanks to the author for such an interesting and informative article. In general, I think that the best materials for insulation are the penplex and mineral wool.
