We counted how much it costs to insulate a balcony to use it as a study, grow there flowers, do morning charge, or relax with a book in the evenings.
To do this, we asked for masters working on the online service of domestic services Youdo.com, tell about the features of glazing, insulation and finishing.
Scope of work

What do you need: Perform glazing, insulation, finishing
What affects the cost
The cost of insulation depends on the size of the balcony or loggia, their current state, minus temperatures in your region and the quality of heating in the apartment.
The transformation of the "naked" balcony in warm begins with glazing. Glazing from the developer is usually badly holding heat. The glazed loggia with metal railings, lay out the wall of foam blocks, and this is additional costs.
If the balcony is already insulated, she is caught by clapboard, plastered - you have to dismantle it all to pure concrete walls. The cost of insulation will increase.
Overweight walls (with a drop of heights of more than 10 mm two meters) before insulation it is better to plaster. The uneven floor must be aligned with a screed, it is enough to launch a deeper than 10 mm and cracks on the smooth.
If the double-glazed windows are installed correctly, the winter is not too cold and in the apartment good heating, for the loggia there is enough single layer of thermal insulation 30-50 mm. On the open from three sides, the balcony and in the regions with cold winters you need a heater thoroughly, or it will be necessary to lay thin in two layers. This will affect the cost of materials.
Make a warm, comfortable balcony for year-round use will not be completely budgetary materials. Therefore, we consider cheaper and more expensive options for insulating and finishing the loggia in the Moscow new building.
Glazing
Before insulation, the loggia needs to be glazed. Optimal "warm" option - double-glazed windows with a plastic profile. Aluminum has a high thermal conductivity, according to the ability to save heat, it is also inferior to the glass.
A cheaper option in which the loggia can be comfortable to use all summer, autumn and spring to serious minus temperatures - put two-chamber glazed windows from PVC. For a three-meter loggia, they will cost about 50,000 rubles. Together with delivery and installation.
It will be more expensive to cost the warranty of the loggia that you plan to use all year round. In this case, it will be necessary either to organize a constant source of heat, or combine the loggia with a room. In both cases, energy-saving double-glazed windows are needed. For a three-meter loggia turnkey glazing with a plastic profile of the Belgian company DeceUninck with a three-chamber energy-saving double-glazed window costs about 70,000 rubles.
Order a plastic profile directly at the factory is often cheaper than the intermediaries. You can save on the number of opening sash: a deaf sash is cheaper than 3,000-4,000 rubles discovering.
The cost of installation work in firms begins from 2,000 rubles. per m². Private master will be glazed with a three-meter loggia for 5,000 - 8,000 rubles. The price of its work depends on the height on which glazing and balcony states: whether it is necessary to strengthen the parapet, remove the cracks, chips, and so on.
Do not save on a bad neck (they are needed, if then make thermal insulation), lowers, visors and work. Will there be heat in the apartment, it depends not as much from the profile brand, how much from the skill of the installers.
Insulation
The most budget version of insulation is thermal insulation from stone wool. For example, Plates "Light Batts Scandik" production of the Russian plant of the Danish company Rockwoll. Mounted on a wooden or metal frame. The minimum thickness is 50 mm.
More expensive option - polystyrene foam. Sheets of polystyrene foam can be glued directly on the wall or put on the floor without a frame. We chose the XPS plates of the Tekhoplex of Russian production, they are produced with a thickness of 20 to 100 mm. If the apartment is well heated, the plates with a thickness of 30-50 mm are suitable. To stick the insulation, you will need two glue-foam cylinders for expanded polystyrene. Glue-foam glue "Macroflex" with a volume of 850 ml costs 400 rubles.
For maximum heat shields, the balcony is cited entirely, except for the wall separating the loggia and room. The area of the insulated surface of our loggia is 18.4 m². Calculate the number of packs help calculators on the sites of manufacturers. If you buy with a stock, we will need three packs "Technoplex" or four packs "Light Batts Scandik".
A pack of insulation weighs 8-9 kg. If there is no roomy machine, you will need delivery, its cost - from 1000 rubles.
You can warm or hire a private wizard. His work costs 7,000 - 10,000 rubles. Depending on the state of the balcony: how frequent reinforcement is whether to plaster or knock out irregularities on concrete slabs.
Finish
The walls of the loggia are separated in different ways, consider a modern inexpensive version - painting of walls and laying of laminate.
Walls under painting need to be launched. The insulation from expanded polystyrene is immediately applied plaster with a reinforcing grid. The packaging should be written that the plaster is suitable for work on thermal insulation materials. We chose Knauf Rotband, packing 30 kg costs 350 rubles.
The insulation of mineral wool is first closed with plasterboard. There are more options and you can use plaster cheaper. For example, the Russian "Rosen Plaster".
Consumption of plaster - 4 kg / m² at a layer of 50 mm. For a three-meter loggia surface area - 13 m², you need 52 kg of plaster. Cost of work - 600 rubles / m² (7800 rubles per loggia)
When the layer of plaster dries, you can paint. For the walls, we chose the premium English matte latex paint Dulux Bindo 7.
The paint is certified as an environmentally friendly, applied to plasterboard and plaster, suitable for rooms with moderate humidity. The painted surface can be washed. To calculate the consumption on the manufacturer's website there is a calculator. On our loggia you need 2.5 liters of colors. Packaging of this volume costs 1300 rubles.
More budget option - Russian deepthilic water-dispersive latex paint for walls and ceilings Marshall Export 2. She has similar properties, costs 533 rubles.
Paint easily either with a private wizard. His work costs about 250 rubles / m² - 3250 rubles. For the whole loggia.
To lay the laminate or cork board on the floor, the sheets of GVL are placed on top of the insulation, and the soft substrate is placed on top. We need 3.6 m² of laminate on the floor.
Dear option is a German moisture-resistant semi-brown laminate Kronotex Exquisit D 4707. Thickness 8 mm, 32th class of wear resistance. Two bundles for our loggia will cost 5,072 rubles. Put on the floor Turkish laminate Kastamonu Floorpan Green FP102 will be three times cheaper - 1 720 rub. Thickness 7 mm, 31st grade.
