The combination of a balcony with an apartment requires high -quality insulation of all surfaces. Particular attention is paid to thermal insulation of concrete floor. The balcony plate is usually located below the floor level in the apartment and it becomes possible to use several extra centimeters for laying insulation. In the insulation of the floors, various materials are used on the balcony: polystolous, foam, mineral wool, expanded clay. By the way, now the head of the leader is very popular, usually he is ordered at a reasonable price on the Internet.
Penophol is used for simultaneous sound insulation and waterproofing of the floor. Insulation is laid immediately on concrete. The beneficial properties of foam increases the thin layer of aluminum foil.
The positive characteristics of the foamyplex are the minimum absorption of moisture, strength, low thermal conductivity. The material is made of polystyrene by extrusion, simply mounted and does not rot.
One of the cheapest heater for the floor on the balcony is the foam. The material is light, well cut and easy to install. Given the high air content in the structure of the foam, it is placed only between the lags.
Ceramzite provides good thermal insulation. The material is durable and light, but some difficulties can occur when laying it. It will be necessary to create a box of lighthouses in compliance with the horizontal plane of all protruding parts, expanded clay is filled into the resulting container, a screed is arranged on top.
Mineral wool differs moisture resistance and good thermal insulation. The fibrous material also does not load the balcony plate and provides reliable floor insulation. Mineral wool laying does not create problems, t. To. It is well processed. Cotton wool must be protected by vapor barrier and waterproofing materials.
