How to shepherd balcony

If you have thought of making repairs on the balcony or loggia, then, perhaps, one of the most relevant has become a matter of interior decoration. I want the materials to be inexpensive, the covering is practical and beautiful, and the installation works are ill-help? If so, then you suitable Option is a balcony with wooden lining (or plastic). Wooden panels will be performed   the function of an additional insulation, of which, there will be no various chemicals from them, as from synthetic materials of dubious quality, and the fungus will not appear under them. Generallyall simply, ecoly friendly and most aesthetic.

What is lining

Lining - all Famous finishing material from a natural tree that implies pazo-Comb fastening method to work with which maybe Each house owner without the involvement of construction profile specialists.

Name note The material was due to the fact that initially such a type of board was used for the interior decoration of passenger cars.

Advantages of the lining mass:

• it does not block air microcirculation, because as is known, The tree "breathes";
• creates additional insulation;
• absorbs excess moisture, if air Raw and evaporate her  —  if air rehensited;
• the room is filled with the natural smell of wood;
• material is resistant to rotting with due process;
• processing give in place easily;
• well tolerate temperature differences;
• provides reliable noise insulation;
• under   lining can be hidden necessary for wire communications;
• and veventually, it just looks great .

Types and classes of wooden lining

Manufacturers share material on classes depending on the quality of wood. In this case, there are no differences in the processing or production of lining of different classes.

1. Extractable.  Such wood does not have defects in the form of bitch or natural cracks. Colour her uniform and homogeneous, often light. Due to processing, such lining does not crack, not deformed over time, has a minimum level of shrinkage and the maximum density. It is logical to assume that the value of the material extra-class It will be quite high.
2. Class A (first grade). May have inclusions in the form of live light bitch.
3. Class V (second grade). Often has inclusions in the form of non-living dark bitch.
4. Class WITH (Third grade). Such wood can have dropped bitches, through cracks.

except  classes marking wood quality, the material is divided into ordinary and Eurovantia - the differences between which are mainly marked by the size of the board:

• conventional facing lining: width 15 cm, length - up 6 M., thickness - up to 2.5 cm;
• eurovant: Width 8 —12 cm; Length from 50 cm to 6 M., thickness - from   1.3 to 1.9 mm .

As you can see, the Euro woman is more convenient for the interior decoration of the premises due to its size, and the usual   — Great suitable To cover the building outside.

In addition to a wide variety of sizes, so-called The material of the material has channels for ventilation from the back and a convenient system of connecting boards during installation.

Lining: Wood Breeds

The lining is made of both conifers and hardwood wood.

Pine. This is the most affordable option and the most common. However, the moisture resistance of such wood is no different, so apply her For decoration of the balcony or loggia, you can only feeding the special composition.

Larch. Excellent Varia nT DLi finish any surfaces. Both indoors and outside. Such lining is not afraid of dampness, insect attacks, rotting, so will last mmyears.

Ash and oak. This wood looks respectable, but also the price has appropriate. It is better to use such wood for finishing indoors with moderate humidity.

Linden. It tolerates well high Temperature I. high humidity - her No further process with chemical solutions. In addition, wood spreads a very pleasant smell indoors.

What is plastic lining

How it becomes clear from the title, such a lining is not made of natural wood, but from PVC. However, do not confuse her With conventional plastic panels: a significant difference in profile, sizes and installation method. Facing with plastic plastic is no different in technology from working with a material from a natural tree.

Plastic lining can have different colors therein  number and texture and wood color. Advantages her In durability, as well as the fact that plastic does not need additional processing varnish and impregnations.

Necessary materials I. instruments

You must define in advance what will be the laying of the lining: horizontal or vertical.

• vertical cladding visually making the ceiling   above, but on volume Your balcony will be visually smaller;
• horizontal facing visually expands the space, but and ceiling seems Lower .

The lining is attached to the frame ( print), for the manufacture of which guides are needed. This may be, for example,   long rails with a rectangular cross section.   First of all, make measurements and draw a scheme. Guides are attached to the wall at a distance of 50 —70 cm each other perpendicular to the direction of montage of the lining.

To calculate the required Rake Metage, you need:

1. Calculate perime tR St.outdoor balcony.
2. Multiply it to the required number of guides.
3. To the resulting digit, add perimeters of all windows and doors (if payment  is conducted for walls).
4. The resulting digit is the guide guide you need.

Further It's time decide With the number of dowels (they are attached to the guide to the wall of the balcony). Between the mounts should be at least 80 cm.

For leschate The required amount of lining you need to know the total square of the balcony. Do not forget that the material needs to be purchased 10% more - with accounting Waste and marriage.

When the material is purchased, do not unpack it until the day of installation: let it lie horizontally indoors with a constant temperature.   Installation only in dry weather.

To carry out work on the installation of lining, you will definitely need your own hands:

• drill;
• screwdriver;
• lobzik;
• wooden hacksaw;
• roulette;
• building level;
• hammer;
• saws, D. jubie and nails .

Preparing a balcony or loggia to the trim clapboard

It is necessary to prepare not only the walls, but in obligatory and the floor, and the ceiling.

So, the main task is to prepare a balcony so that it is subsequently under wooden lining not started Development of fungus, which soon finishing material will lead In disrepair. Many experts say that impregnations do not always solve the problem of combating mold fungus, besides, the impregnations themselves can give harmful for health man evaporation. Reliable Apply the so-called triple barrier method so that the loggia is not only beautiful, but also safe for households.

Warming and sealing

In principle, this stage does not differ from the preparation for finishing by other materials: it is necessary to smell cracks, seal the seams, apply a waterproofing and laying the insulation.

Triple Barrier: Stages

1. When work on insulation and sealing are finished, we remove all the plinths and window sills. The resulting "box" carefully plasteur over the entire surface (to apply pluckle On the foam insulation, glue the mounting grid to it with silicone glue). And when the plaster is driving, apply rHsPaklevka PVC. It will provide a durable moisture protection barrier for Walls. Experienced builders argue that wooden finish even on an open balcony due to impregnation pluckle PVC retains its original appearance up to 5 years.   The impregnation itself is very similar to liquid glue Plow. Buy her You can in any construction store for small money. You will need about 20 liters of composition to the standard size balcony.
2. Make a frame, stinging wooden slats at a distance of 50 —70 cm. Use mounting nails for operation. Before mounting, all rails process pluckle PVC (emphasis on the ends) and be sure to align relative to each other - lathing It should create a level surface.
3. If you live in a region where it is not very raw, then at the second stage you can stop and start directly to the mounting of the lining. If the Humidity is high - do not neglect the third barrier - MDF (6 mm). In addition, the plates will serve as an additional insulation, which is definitely not placing in the northern regions or corner apartments. So, the "box" is simply trimmed with MDF plates and in impregnate pluckle PVC.

Many masters allow mistake by making film between layers. Do not forget that polyethylene is not gives breathe wood and the development of fungus and mold in such a medium happen More likely.

Mounting fittings

Mounting Framework for lining - the case is simple. Start with the top guide if the lining will be attached vertically.

• scold the rail of the desired length;
• make on It marks at a distance of 60 —70 cm - holes will be located under dowels;
• drill the holes in the rail (use the tree drill with a diameter   6 mm);
• attach the bar to the wall (the top bar is 10 cm from the ceiling) and through the holes, put the labels with a pencil on the wall;
• with the help of a drill, make a hole in the wall of the opening 5 —6 cm (diameter   6 mm);
• mount the guide using plastic cooks (Dowels are not completely driven by a hammer, yet 7. —10 mm better wrap screwdriver);
• check the evenness of the guide with the cord;
• the same procedure is done with the rest of the rails. .

Upholstery balcony clapboard

There are only a few simple rules to perform the trim.

Horizontal covering:

• starting the installation is needed from the ceiling;
• the lining is installed spike top (This will prevent dust and moisture from entering the grooves. and How Corollary, damage to wood);
• from time to time, the horizontal facing must be checked using a level;
• the last (bottom) bar must be adjusted in size so that it did not deliver to the floor 10 mm (this gap will subsequently close the plinth);
• lower plank is attached with nails .

Vertical trim:

• the installation process starts from the angle (choose that angle, to work in which is less convenient to the final   — more complex phase - it was convenient for you);
• the first bar is fixed with nails (and groove and ridge) and  not close To the edge, to avoid chipping wood, but also not far,  to The next rail hid a nail hat;
• the rest of the installation is similar to the horizontal trim;
• approaching the opposite corner, proceed to inserting the final rail: Measure the distance from the groove of the penultimate plank to the opposite wall, do hard on these standards; Insert the cropped bar in the groove; Near the wall will be a gap that closes the plinth .

Installation of the lining occurs equally, regardless of whether the wall or ceiling is facing. Only when everything is ready, you can go to work on the slopes.

Finish processing of lining

Of course, mounting the lining the renovation of the balcony yet It will not end: the wood needs to be covered with protective compositions so that it does not lose their decorative and functional properties for a long time.

Yet front installation Wood should be treated from the back antiseptic - Transparent primer will prevent mold and development of fungus.

On the front side of the lining coatings are applied after the end of the walls of the walls. First, clean the coating from dust and dirt - otherwise no coating reliable It will not be kept.

You can handle the lining with the following means:

1. Water based lacquer. This is a safe composition that will not give toxic evaporation or odors and will dry quickly. Suitable such a varnish for glazed Balcony or loggia - where the direct impact of aggressive factors on wood is excluded. Degree of protection Such a drug gives Low.
2. Acrylic varnish. Well protects the surface of the tree from moisture and UV rays. The drug itself is harmless to humans - volatile chemical components in nem. No missing. You can use the coating for both exterior and internal works.   As practice shows, to cover the lining on the balcony, homemade masters choose this means.
3. Alkyd varnish. The drug is good for use in those regions where humidity is constantly high. Moreover The drug itself is immeasured - external d Dcheerfulness after processing will not change. Of the flaws, it is worth noting a very strong and resistant odor of the drug, and a long period of drying.
4. Polyurethane varnish. Designed for outdoor work. Means morozo.— and moisture resistant shockproof,  but It distinguishes toxic substances that indoors can greatly harm human health.
5. Oil paint. Such a composition is well soaked in wood, but Very long dries. Has a high level of protection.
6. Paint based on alkyd resins. It is used for outdoor work. Very well protects the tree from low temperatures.
7. Morida. This impregnation is the most common and cheap Wood protection method, with which you can also make the coating the desired tone. Morid will protect the fungus, mold, will stop the processes of rotting.
8. Wax impregnation.   Great for regions with elevated humidity. Substance creates Durable moisture-repellent layer on the surface of the tree.
