The balcony is a design that includes the supporting concrete plate and its fences. Over time, the plate is destroyed, thanks to natural factors: moisture, frequent temperature differences, frosts, precipitation in the form of snow and rain. Also, metal fences also begin to be subjected to the corrosion process.
It is important that before the start of the repair, carefully identify its vulnerability and “weak” places that have arisen over the years of service of the balcony, which become dangerous for humans. They will need to be eliminated first.
If, during the repair, it is planned to glaze the balcony, in this case it is necessary to apply the following classic algorithm: first make a supporting base, build the walls, then the roof, and the plastic windows are inserted lastly.
There are a number of stages of balcony repair.
Before repair, you need to make sure the reliability of the slab. She should not have significant defects. If it crumbles in the corners, below or sides, darkened from time or other factors, grids of small cracks appeared, such visible signs of destruction indicate the need to start repairs from it. This must be done if any doubts occur in the integrity of the concrete slab. After all, it should be borne in mind that after glazing, it will be extremely difficult to work with the plate.
