Loggia Finishing PVC Panels

Loggia, like balconies, too, need to glate and warm up from the inside. The trim of the loggia panels PVC is the fastest and most inexpensive way to attract the ceilings and walls in this small place. Often the PVC panels are called "clap" - they are very convenient, economically spent and easy to mounted. Due to the fact that the panels have a length of 6 meters, with string almost no residues remain.

PVC panel is not only economical, but also one of the most practical options for the plating balconies and loggias. Even newcomer will cope with the works, and not only quickly will work on the walls of the walls, but also at the same time will establish a suspended PVC ceiling. The result is a beautiful room, and saved funds for finishing work can be directed to the arranger of the loggia.

If you want to independently perform the installation of PVC panels for the loggia, then you need to start with the selection of facing material for the ceiling and walls, and also think over in advance which materials worth buying for floor covering.

So, we will use PVC panels as the main finishing material for the lining of the loggia, and it is better to purchase foam or mineral wool sheets as the insulation. This option will be most appropriate for unheated premises.

Select PVC panels. What to pay attention to

The construction market offers consumers a large selection of various finishing materials. A decent place among them occupy PVC panels. They are presented in a wide range of colors. You can see not only the usual panels of light shades (white, beige, gray), but also material with imitation under natural natural materials. Just imagine how interesting your loggia will look, if you perform the posted room with PVC panels under a tree, natural stone or choose lining with patterns.

When choosing a shade of panels, it is worth considering that the material itself reflects the light, therefore moderate lighting will always be indoors. Even if you want to finish the walls of the walls under the tree of dark shades, and for the ceiling, pick the lining of pastel tones - the loggia will look presentable. Just to such panels fit wicker garden furniture. You can not overload the interior of the loggia, covered with PVC panels, all the pair of wicker chairs and a round table - on such a loggia will be pleasantly resting after a busy daily day, read a book or a cup of coffee.

Panels are several types:

1. Matte.
2. Glossy.
3. With seam and without it.

In addition, it is worth paying attention to the lining of monochromatic colors and with an unusual pattern. Perhaps you will immediately be born a new idea, as after the loggia, we have a balcony with plastic panels.

What are the advantages of PVC panels:

• durability. The life of the lining is unlimited. Loggia, lined with PVC panels, can stand 10 and even 15 years;
• the panels are not afraid of moisture, they are not subject to corrosion and condensate does not accumulate in them - just an ideal material for unheated or poorly heated premises;
• panels do not absorb the smell;
• it is easy to care - it is enough to wipe the lining with a damp cloth with any detergent (for glossy and colored surfaces, chlorine-containing drugs are better not to use);
• just mount. If there is a big desire, even a newcomer can cope with the work, the main thing is to know the technology and comply with the rules of installation;
• panels do not fade, color resistant to ultraviolet rays;
• dust on the surface does not remain;
• attractive price. Any room, including a balcony and a loggia, will be able to everyone. PVC panels are distinguished by low cost;
• panels are not burning because made of material resistant materials;
• the ease of construction is convenient not only when transporting materials from the store, but also during installation;
• the panels are absolutely not harmful to human health and pets, as the materials from which the lining makes are used to produce packaging food packaging.

Look at how beautiful the PVC panels will look at balconies and balconies.

How to shelter the loggia panels PVC

Before you begin work, it is important to properly prepare the room. Since on the loggia rarely who organizes heating, then our task is to try with the help of correctly selected materials to change the temperature in the room. For example, if there is a -10 on the street ^oC and lower, then indoors, covered with PVC panels - approximately +15 ^oC. As you can see, there is no need to organize a warm floor or additionally install heating radiators, because you can save due to correctly selected materials.

Preparation of loggia

It's not enough just to take and proceed to the cover of the panels, you first need to prepare a small room. The perfect option is to install plastic windows, put the insulation and carefully perform the sealing of all seams. Otherwise, you can not count on the preservation of heat, and the plastic panels will serve not 15 years, but much less.

Since it is not always able to cope with the glazing of the loggia to independently, this part of the work is better to entrust specialists. You will only need the choice of manufacturer's firm and the number of double-glazed windows. You can buy inexpensive plastic windows, 1-2 windows to make opening to be able to air the room, and the rest will be deaf. This can be saved on the purchase of expensive double-glazed windows with an airing system. Positioning window blocks need pairs in the corners. Of course, if there is such an opportunity, it is desirable to immediately install all the windows opening, especially if your apartment "looks" to south, west or southwest.

During the glazing, do not miss such a moment as the installation of water profiles, it will help prevent the accumulation and moisture from entering the room.

How to perform sealing and warming the loggia

The next step after installation of the windows is the insulation of the loggia. If your balcony is equipped with a metal fence, then such a decor must be changed. Before proceeding with the warriology insulation from the inside, it is necessary to arm a silicone sealant, construction foam or to make a cement solution. This part of the work should be considered with understanding and therefore stocking patience. There should be no air exchange with the street, so carefully fill in a solution, foam or sealant even the smallest hole and all the gaps.

If you live on the top floor, as well as if the neighbor's balcony, located above, remained open, then it is necessary to take care of the ceiling warming. To do this, you can use foam sheets, but you first need to make a frame of metal or wooden rails, and then begin the ceiling warming. Just a frame and will serve as a crate for finishing the ceiling with clapboard.

Finishing loggia panels PVC do it yourself

If you have to see the loggia panels, then docile the angular profiles (angle 45 ^oC), then you need to purchase a special device - stub (plate with holes for trimming parts at an angle). Honeycomb so high quality and ideally impossible to dock the corners. You can buy an inexpensive plastic device.

We carry out the ceiling and the outer wall of the loggia with plastic panels:

1. First you need to make a frame for fastening the panels to the ceiling. To do this, take metal guides for stream (CD).
2. The fastener is a 500-700 mm nails, in the deaf holes along the concrete, the diameter of the fastener of 4-6 x 60 mm.
3. You do not need to try to mount the metal profile too deep and often, because there will be no significant load on the crate.
4. If you work only screws, then you need to fix them at a minimum distance from each other.
5. In no case, it is impossible to use wooden rails for the construction of the ceiling frame. No matter how good they are saturated, and all holes are carefully sealed, the slightest moisture getting into the whole design. Then your work will be spoiled, the PVC panel can be a story or she will swell and pulls the entire finish.
6. Between the strips of the metal profile on the ceiling with the help of construction glue (colorless silicone sealant) stick sheets of foam.
7. The last, final part of the work is the most time-consuming - it is necessary in each fence to drill holes under the ceiling profile, and then cut the thread (M3-M4).
8. Then you need to make a crate to which you can attach PVC panels.
9. Between profiles just put the following layer of foam.

10. If you advised to attach the ceiling profile to the metal dowels, it is better not to listen to such recommendations. From the practice it is known that in a few years (3-4 years) the fasteners will be weakened and the whole design will become mobile. So it is better to immediately "plant" profile on the CD screws.

It is very important when building a frame to consider the following: lanes of the crates must pass in every corner so that later does not appear "hanging" angle.

We are wearing a loggia from the inside

When the loggia is internal finishing, you first need to make the lattice of the remaining walls. In our case, it is 3 walls for the loggia. The ceiling and wall where double-glazed windows are already prepared.

The remaining walls must be insulated in the same way, and the wall that is reported to the residential premises remains the same. It can not be insulated.

On the interior walls, you can make a laminate from a wooden bar, as an attachment to use dowels nails. If you live in an old house, and even cheese, then it is best to "plant" the crate on the CD profile. The distance between the mount should be exactly the same as on the ceiling.

You can see a simple shape diagram on this photo:

We count the amount of material

Now that the doom is ready, you can proceed to the performance of the calculations of the material. First we learn how much you need to purchase PVC panels for installation. We will need all 3 types of panels: angular, straight and bicked (normal angle), also internal triangular (triple angle). If plans to stripped window and doorways, then you need to purchase triple outdoor angles. If it seems to you a challenging task, you just cut these openings with a regular profile.

Please note: often experts recommend using several profile types: starter, finishing (for inserting the last strip) and guide. Such is the scheme of work if the outer surfaces are planned. And since we decided all the problems from the outside and insulated the loggia, then we will work on a lightweight system.

How to distinguish the PVC panels:

1. Direct (box in the form of the letter "P"). Fastened to the crate on a stick or in a transverse way. A strip is attached to a straight cutter through a wide side of the sidewall.
2. Simple or standard angle. This is 2 profiles, interconnected at an angle of 90 ^oC. It needs to be mounted on an outdoor or inner corner. Sometimes you can replace it with a direct box if you put the Jobbar.
3. Triple corner needed for installation of external, internal and triangular angles (angle of inclination 90 ^oWITH). If you adapt, then without these corners, it is possible to do, replacing them on ordinary boxes, folded under a certain degree.

Installation of the box and fastening PVC panels

We begin with the attachment of the guides at the corners. With a drill with a nozzle insert flat washers (size 4-6 x 20-24 mm). Thus make the crate. Make sure that the fastener was sitting firmly, and the box itself did not begin to crack. Otherwise, there may be detachment of the crates along the entire length.

Now we can go to the most interesting part of the work - laying PVC panels. Some are so fond of this process, which is a joke called the installation of panels "adult designer."

What do we need to do:

1. First cut the panel of the size we need.
2. Then we insert into the bottom hole at the bottom of the box (grooves), hold our board with a free hand.
3. Next, gently flexing it so that it is possible to insert the top of the panel into the hole at the top of the box.
4. Light "slap", a characteristic clock sound and a board is in its place.
5. If the boards are asymmetrical, then they need to be pressed as close as possible and fix a flat washer, and then insert a new panel.
6. How to work with the openings, we will learn a little later. And now it is important to postpone the last boards aside. The penultimate is not yet inserting, but the completion of the cut along (on the width of the panel) and take away the height of the tongue. Next, we take a silicone sealant and release a few drops into the box to the place where the finishing band will be attached. Now it remains to insert the latest board.
7. In the free hole, we install the previous panel, but so that it "sat down well", you need to move the finish panel slightly.
8. We set everything to our places and do not touch the place where the panel "sits" on Silicone. A few days later, the facing of PVC panels will be monolithic, and the fact that emptiness remained in the box is not so scary.

It remains to arrange the openings in exactly the same way as the walls of the walls panels. Last bar - We provide a normal air exchange. To do this, select the appropriate place (in the right or left lower corner) and drill 15 holes (diameter 20 mm), set the decorative grille. This will be enough so that the air leaves the balcony, and the influx can be provided if you open the window to ventilating.
