porch of metal - Advantages and disadvantages

There are many options for site decoration assigned under the porch. It is concrete, wood, siding, stone and etc. But the metal, in this case, has the following advantages:

• The design turns solid, which is especially important, since ka to K.snout exposed to wind and rain.
• For decorating the porch of this type is not required severe and wet construction work, a rather simple design installation.

• Metal Porch easily integrated into any type of architecture. It is able to fit well in the already existing design and is used for the restoration of the old porch.
• There is the possibility of building a porch in an equal price range, depending on individual preferences owners.
• Thanks to the anti-corrosion protection, a type of porch will serve its owner for many years.
• There is a possibility of a combination of metal elements with polycarbonate, wood, concrete and etc.
• Metal structures are stable before rotting, temperature differences, humidity and mechanical damage. Unlike Wooden porch, design, performed Metal, not deformed over time.
• When ordering modular designs, it is possible to install them in various places and moving from one building to another.
• The installation of a metal porch is distinguished by the lack of restrictions associated with the choice of its size or shape. Any manufacturer options are possible, depending on the individual characteristics of the structure.

Among the majority of the advantages of the metal porch should also be mentioned about its disadvantages, among which they allocate:

• High cost, especially concerns designs having copper visors or metal forging.
• The need to apply special anti-corrosion products. Preferably choose materials which have a layer of galvanized coating and powder paint powder that was produced at the factory. Otherwise The metal porch requires constant care, in the form of staining.
• The use of metal visors and canopies is characterized by high noise performanceWhen contact with atmospheric precipitation in the form of snow, hail or rain. When the bedroom windows are located on the same side where the porch is, it is better to install visor From another material.
• In the presence of Metal steps and an open platform, in winter, there is a risk of slipping. For their manufacture, it is better to use reinforcement rods or a special metal, having an appeal.

Porch of the private metal: varieties

There is an option to manufacture a porch fully consisting of metal, but such structures are found infrequently. More common It is a porch, the main material for the construction of which is the metal, and other materials are used as additional elements.

Among the enormous variety of metal molds should be distinguished by their types of species:

• A small metallic porch.

This The type of the porch will perfectly fit into the arrangement of the door, located on the side or behind the building. For the manufacture of such a design, it is necessary to work hard, so they most often equip them to order at the factories. The porch has a form of a conventional welded frame based on a metal profile. It is designed in such a way as to locate the platform directly with the door. As a fence, simple metal railing is performed. For mounting the stairs, welding is used, with which it is welded to the side or central part of the structure.

If necessary, build visorlocated by d Dbelieve. Metal anchor uses for fastening the porch. The appearance of the porch is quite simple, so suitable only for side doors.

• Standard metal porch.

It implies the installation of the porch at the entrance door. The railing of this design is forging or decorated with additional elements, thanks to this, the porch looks elegant and hospitable.

Visor and railing for the porch of metal

Most mixed type designs have the presence of metal railings installed on a concrete surface. In addition, they are perfectly combined with structures made of wood, concrete, bricks, plaster.

Two types of fences are distinguished:

• forged;
• weldes .

The first option looks good and more beautifulAlthough with the right conduct of welding and design, welded structures have their own clear Geometry bringing certain Beauty in external View of the porch.

For trimming, the railing uses special paint, in addition, a variant of using a polished steel surface is possible.

Trumpsto Tometal storks most often occur when the metal is covered with the entire roof of the building. According to constructive features, such visors are attached directly on the wall or rely on special supports in the form of columns. For the first fastening option used visor Small size, since the bearing capacity of the wall has limited capabilities.

Metallic visors are made from various kinds of materials in the form of sheet material, profliver, aluminum, galvanized sheet, copper, lead coating. Special practicality and low-cost canopies made of aluminum are distinguished, they are easy to operate and care.

The most expensive, prestigious and labor-intensive Care is visors made of copper. The term of their operation exceeds a hundred years. Though, after expiration defined time periodThey lose their pristine appearance, acquire a greenish tint and fade. To avoid dull colors, visor weekly maintenance needs, which is in its wiping solution of vinegar with water.

One of the main elements of the porch and tangible acts the style of the supporting structure, which is often made of metal pipes or tubes. As an additional strengthening structures used steel bars of various cross sections. To decorate the visible part of the structure used forging or welding.

Manufacturing technology of metal porch with his hands

Before starting work, you should do drawing the porch of metal, according to the general layout of the building and the dimensions of the intended design. With the help of measuring instruments, measure all the pieces of the porch, and transfer them to the paper. The presence of drawing greatly accelerates Process with atroitelstva . In addition, with its help, payment materials produced faster.

To determine the size of the porch should be based on standard values, which suggests that the minimum width of a comfortable ladder by which It will go up and down a man is between 80 and 100 cm. Further this value varies in a big way. At calculation the number of stages is selected odd meaning, in this caseMovement begins and ends with one foot, and it is very convenient. The maximum value of the ladder inclination is 45 degrees, while it increases to arise inconvenience in operation. The minimum value of 25 degrees. The average step height is 15 cm, it is permissible to change both sides of 7 cm minimum length of the tread -. 25 cm.

Payment the upper pad size should be done in such a way as to ensure the smooth opening of the door.

If you compare the load on the concrete porch and from the metal, the second option is more light. While laying the foundation for equipping the metal porch is optional. If this is not done, there is a risk of shrinkage and deformation of the porch, especially in the spring.

Try to build funda ttwhich depth that it was 25 cm lower than the depth of soil freezing. At arrangement porch in a heated building, the regular temperature which is not lower than 12 degrees, the depth of the foundation is reduced by 10 —15 cm.

During installation depth decrease on natural soil foundation depth thirty percent. If floor made of lag — twenty percent, and if floor Equipped on the beams — Ten percent.

Learn about the depth of the horizon soilovye Waters, when they hit the surface of the foundation, carry out a number of works aimed at removing water.

Installation instructions for reinforced concrete foundation for the arrangement of a metal porch:

• The first is p P.reduppies the arrangement of the pit and the installation of a sandy chump pillow. To do this, first covers the layer of sand, watering with water and thoroughly tamper, the thickness of the layer is about 10 cm. The next layer - Crusp, five centimeters thick. The total thickness of a sandy chump pillow is 15 —17 cm .
• Further The installation of a wooden formwork occurs. For her The arrangement will require the presence of boards, the thickness of each is at least two centimeters, and the length is no more than 200 mm. Note that it is not allowed to use too dry boards, since whenthey deform with concrete, they are deformed and disturb the integrity of the foundation. The party with which the concrete touches must be overshadowed and perfectly smooth.

• On the corner areas of the foundation, pegs are installed, and they are stretched twine. All over the perimeter of the porch, install pegs, the installation step is 100 cm. From the inside of the bars, the boards, which and form The overall formwork design. Choose nails, the length of which exceeds the total thickness of the board and the bar so that the nails bend from the bottom. On pegs, set the struts or stops providing rigidity Designs.
• The plot of fittings is made before the fill, the diameter of which is 1.2 cm. Do not pour the concrete layer completely, leave 30 —35 cm to the top to produce its vibration and get rid of excess air. In addition, the metal porch is first installed, and then the platform is poured to the top. It is better to choose the factory brands of concrete, which have the highest power. When air bubbles are removed, cover the base film From polyethylene so that concrete gains the necessary strength. Remove polyethylene after expiration weeks.

Now let's talk about the manufacture of a porch made of metal for which it will be necessary to build elements in the form:

• stairs;
• railing;
• visor .

For the construction of the stairs, the presence of two channels that are exhibited by her Overall width. They will make up the main part of the design. Already to the chamber designs will be welded under the installation of steps.

There are several options constructions Steps, we suggest familiarizing yourself with one of them:

• Arm yourself with an equilmeal corner, make it trimming in the ratio with the size of the stage and the length of the weld. We weld the corner to the chawller.
• Take yet One corner, weld it to this, so that it turns out a frame design. It turns out Two corners mounted on a channel, they will serve as a frame for forming steps.

• Complete mr. Elements and form a flat design frame. Please note that in order to weld the porch from the metal, you will need special skills to work with the welding machine, so if they are absent, it is better to trust professionals.
• The frame side is filled with a variety of materials, in the form of plywood or wood. To fix the steps on the stairs, use self-tapping screws and glue on silicone basis.

Next this p P.reduppies the installation of handrails and railings. This is necessary if the porch consists of more than three steps. For provision Safe lifting And the descent on the stairs, the optimal height of the railing is 90 cm.

For the manufacture of railing, various kinds are used. A variant of using forging or pipes of different diameters is possible.

When all metal elements are interconnected, take care of their reliable Protection from exposure to external stimuli.

To do this, their surface is pre-cleaned, then coated with one layer of primer and two layers of paint.

We offer to familiarize yourself with additional recommendations that will help improve the quality and appearance of a metal porch:

1. When drawing up a porch project, apply the design dimensions in the ratio with the selected scale. The design should be harmonious and well-planned.

2. In the process of welding, avoid inaccurate fucking and butt seams. They not only affect the appearance of the design, but also adversely affect her quality.

3. Among the requirements for the quality of the seams are distinguished:

• the presence of a smooth surface and a smooth transition from one element to another;
• lack of cracks, pores or metal clusters;
• complete tapping of the whole seam .

4. To determine the density of the seams obtained, carry out a simple test that implies wetting one side of the seam of kerosene with a mixer with a range of ten minutes. On the other side A chalk suspension is applied. In the absence of spots on the suture surface — It is high quality.
