People living in multi -storey buildings know very well that the issue of insulation of the dwelling is very important. The point is that in most houses, especially those that were built during the time of the USSR, too thin walls, and the construction projects themselves are ill -conceived. To ensure a stable temperature regime inside the apartment, you definitely need to resort to wall insulation. However, experienced people who have already faced this issue are well aware that at the very beginning it is necessary to insulate the loggia (balcony).

Unfortunately, this process is far from as simple as it might seem at first glance. Most often, for such events, one has to use the services of specialists who require a considerable amount of money. In this material, we will consider all the features of insulation of the loggia with a foam.
The main features of the foam
It should be immediately noted that the foam is a relatively new material that is actively used around the world. With its help, not only residential buildings, but also entertainment centers, warehouses and municipal buildings are insulated.
Unlike many existing insulations, which are used less than every year, the foam is low thermal conductivity. This means that for insulation of a large area we will need significantly less foam than any other material. Despite the fact that the penumplex is somewhat more expensive than analogues, it is still profitable to use it. First of all, this applies to large residential buildings, which must be completely covered with this insulation. Ultimately, it will become clear that we can get tremendous savings with the foam.
Also, the penis does not absorb moisture at all. This suggests that throughout the entire period of operation, the material will maintain its initial properties. Many analogues gradually accumulate moisture. Accordingly, after some time, such insulation loses its basic properties, or even can even become dangerous.
Most of the manufacturers of Penoples assures that their products have high strength. This once again confirms that this material is durable.
It is also impossible to bypass the fact that the foam is environmentally friendly and fireproof material.
Despite such positive characteristics, these products sometimes still have some restrictions related to the areas of use. In this case, it all depends on the manufacturers who use this or that technology for the production of the foam.
It is most important to give preference to products of well -known construction companies, which have long established themselves from the positive side.
External insulation of the loggia foam
Many might think that a small area of \u200b\u200boutdoor insulation of the loggia will not provide the desired efficiency. Despite this, even a couple of square meters in this case can play a serious role.
It is important to say that the apartments that are located after the second floor are externally insulated only with the help of industrial climbers. Unfortunately, such services are often very expensive, but there is no doubt that the result will be incredibly high -quality.
For such events, not only the foam will be needed, but also a lot of polyethylene, as well as the material for external decoration of insulation.
The foamyplex is mounted using special dowels, which not only pressed a separate part of the insulation, but also ensure the absence of any deformation of the material. The seams between the sheets are filled with mounting foam. Further, polyethylene (or foil material) is located on top.
After the above processes, the surface begins. In such cases, a crate is often created. Most often, the surface is covered with thin layers of cement mortar, after which it is painted.
Insulation of the floor of the loggia using a foam
To warm the floor of the loggia, we will need the same tools and materials as in the past case. It should be noted that in this situation, one should responsibly approach the creation of a crate, on the basis of which you can create a full wooden floor. You need to make sure that during loads the material will not be deformed. Even despite the fact that the foam is a strong material, even small deformations will significantly worsen the properties of the insulation.
Once again, it is worth noting that any cracks and gaps between the sheets of the material (even the most tiny) need to be filled with mounting foam.
Before starting such construction work, it is necessary to clearly understand that the area of \u200b\u200bthe loggia after the installation of insulation will be significantly reduced.
Internal insulation of the walls of the loggia
Many people believe that conducting insulation of the outer and internal part of the same balcony is doubly effective. In fact, there is simply no special sense in the internal insulation after the external.
Obviously, external isolation will be more effective, but for a small apartment there will be enough what is available.
Before starting the process, it is necessary to analyze the situation that is associated with means of communication. All wires, cables and pipes can be hidden under a layer of insulation. If this is not possible, you need to think about the ways of bypassing insulation.
Walls and ceilings must be cleaned. All cracks and cracks need to be sealed with sealants or cement mixtures.
To fasten the sheets of the foamyplex, we will need not only the very dowels that were used in the very first case, but also glue. At the foam, the space between the sheets of the insulation is again sealed.
Next, a layer of foil material is created. All existing joints will need to be sealed with construction tape.
Only after this stage can all the wires and pipes can be laid, which can be hidden under a layer of finishing material or a layer of wood surface.
As a finishing material, it is best to use a moisture -resistant drywall.
As for the warming of the ceiling, in most cases a thin sheet of the foam is used, which is covered with a minimum layer of plaster.
