If simple glazing can be carried out independently, or you can use the services of companies that specialize in this, then to join the loggia – the process is quite complicated, you need to contact a serious repair and construction enterprise and at the same time you can find out the prices for apartment renovations. Employees of such companies are engaged in the registration of legal issues related to this case: the decision to join the loggia is usually made by owners of small -sized apartments, for whom it is advisable to use any opportunities to increase the area of housing. Such apartments are usually equipped with excess partitions that cannot be removed, since they are bearing. Therefore, the only way to increase space will be the method of combining the loggia and dwelling. This work begins with the installation of the fence, for which a brick or reinforced concrete slab can be used. Under the fence there may be a section for runoff, which is why before insulation of the loggia all the cracks at the bottom and, possibly, from the sides, should be closed, for example, with the help of bricks.
At the next stage, window blocks are installed. This kind of redevelopment involves the use of a loggia profile of hard polyvinyl chloride with thin partitions during glazing, which is distinguished by wear resistance, difficult ignorance, inability to conduct electric current and good maintenance of heat.
When the work related to the outer wall is completed, you can start dismantling the window and door of the balcony, and then the expansion of the formed opening. Then insulation is carried out in which the maximum accuracy and accuracy must be observed. First of all, the installation of the frame is carried out (wooden or metal). Then, vapor barrier is laid (polyethylene, foil), then – insulation and waterproofing (polyethylene, roofing material, mastic). The use of foam for insulation is prohibited, since it is a fire hazardous material and selects many toxic substances when burning.
As for the functional use of the resulting space, it can be different. It depends on which room is located near the room. Most importantly, as a result of the loggia, it turns into an organic part of the common living space.
