  The main varieties of wooden bunks

• Plastic. The most affordable material, which offers shops. Plastic is not afraid of moisture, but quite fragile material, which are easily damaged. Therefore, when finishing balconies lining must be qualitatively insulate. The panels are made of plastic stylized tree with colorful and varied patterns. They do not fade in the sun, and in the careful operation will serve for a long time. The main disadvantage of this material - a room-coated PVC lining stops breathing and indoor humidity level increases. Optimal use of plastic will be a kitchen or hallway.
  

  Plastic siding is available in a variety of colors and textures

• Chipboard and fiberboard. Producing paneling and moldings from these materials low-cost production and panels are not a high price. Wall panels retain heat very well and create additional noise isolation from outside noise from the street. But the largest concentration in the resin material precludes their installation in the house where people live are prone to allergies and small children. Material rapidly deformed when struck by moisture. Balcony steering clapboard should be glazed.
  

  For finishing works are well suited slabs of chipboard, the surface of which is covered with protective and decorative film

• MDF. Durable and resistant material to moisture and mechanical damage. Natural components do not emit harmful substances. Panels of MDF stylise under battens made from natural wood, and varnished for water repellent effect. The material is very durable, able to withstand heavy loads, when it is necessary to hang a cabinet or bookshelf on the wall. Walls will look great in the finishing room clapboard MDF, to serve for a long time without losing its original appearance.

Manufacturers produce new variants of the wall panels of marble and stone chips, frosted glass and mirrors that allow you to select the material to taste decoration. Bracing and the joints may also be different - in relief seams when pronounced seam or sleek hardly noticeable joints lining. Additional masking seams and angles processing using straps.

Calculation of material for lining the balcony

Selecting the material, how you want to sheathe the loggia or a balcony on the inside, you must make the correct calculation of lining and additional elements for assembly.

We expect inner surface area: by multiplying the length, width and height of the wall and subtracting from the result area onto the balcony windows, doors and glass. Adding to the result of 10-15% in order to avoid shortage of panels at random splitting. When buying the seller to provide information about the area of ​​one unit of siding, you need to divide the result by one unit, and calculate the number of panels needed to the balcony.

Highlights preparation of surfaces for cladding clapboard

Sheathing loggias lining can be made in two ways. This adhesive assembly, when the panel is attached to the surface with a special adhesive, but with this method, the surface should be plastered and align.

And with the installation of lathing for finishing panels - it is more time-consuming process, but does not require a perfectly flat surface. Also, the presence of battens enables additional insulation surfaces.

Step by step instructions for proper installation of siding

   Under the crate should be put waterproofing, if you are planning installation of a heater

3. Wall insulation. When device frame cavity between beam and the insulation strips are filled, it is better to acquire sheet material which will not shrink with time.
   

   To use the balconies insulation polystyrene or mineral wool

4. Mounting coating. It can be produced by different locking elements:

• through fastening involves drilling a preliminary hole screws to deform the panel during installation and caps closing plugs;
  

  Through mounting - the fastest way, but it is not the best from an aesthetic point of view,

• miniature carnations, which cap are made in one color with the panel and unobtrusive;
  

  Decorative studs can be used for mounting a sufficiently thin panels of MDF and MDV

Installation of siding can be made horizontally, then the installation begins with fixing the bottom panel. With vertical trim panel assembly starts with the far corner of the entry door. The first element and fixing it in place, fastened next panel via the lock provided on the article.

Design of glass on the balcony

If on the balcony are not worth the quality windows, the siding has only a decorative function. But with the right glazing and insulation from the balcony you can make a full restroom or dressing room, where a comfortable zero temperature will be maintained at any time of the year.

Types of glass and their purpose:

1. Single-chamber. Are used in the decorative trim loggias, when there is no need for additional insulation. Glazed windows protect the interior walls from rain and snow. Such glazing is lightweight, allowing it to be mounted on any structure.
2. Two compartments. For such insulating glass requires construction monolithic or brick loggia. He partially retains heat with good thermal insulation of the walls, but to remove the intermediate windows and doors from the apartment to the loggia you can hardly.
3. Three-compartment. The use of such insulating glass makes it possible to remove the doors and windows, attach a total living area of ​​the apartment and balconies. Double-glazed windows are very heavy and are not allowed to be mounted on the old and dilapidated structures. It is worth noting that the use of such glazing reduce the access of sunlight into the room.

Manufacturers produce windows of different colors, stylized tree, and you can easily match the color of the glazing frames in total clearance design loggia.
