Warf balcony can anyone who knows how to keep a simple construction tool in their hands. The main thing is to avoid these errors.
If you think about the insulation of the balcony, it is especially for you our heading # TapesTehnonikol. Vladimir Shalimov, Technical Specialist of the Polymer Membranes and PIR directions of Technonol Corporation, talks about the most frequent errors during work.
1 Warming in the cold season
Some insulation materials are not suitable for work at low temperatures. This, for example, refers to cement-sandy mixtures that are diluted with water. To gain the necessary strength, they need time, and without special anti-corrosion impregnations, they can simply frozen and collapse.
For insulation of the balcony in winter it is better to choose the material that is mounted at any temperatures. Good solution - thermal insulation plates Logicpir balcony from TechnoNIKOL. They are fixed with locks, without the use of sealant. Glue-foam necessary for their mounting, withstand frost to -10 degrees.
2 Thin insulation or its absence
Many owners, seeking to save space, or completely refuse the insulation, or choose a material with a minimum thickness. The result is useless work and spending, because without a normal insulation on the balcony will still be cold.
Materials will help solve the problem that with a small thickness are well preserved heat. Today there are such in the market.
3. Lack of vaporizolation
A condensate will begin to form the balcony without vapor barrier, and he, in turn, leads to the formation of mold and fungus. If you want to save on vaporizolation, choose thermal insulation with a foil surface, like the slab Logicpir balcony. Such material does not need additional vaporizolation - it is enough to simply use foil tape for sizing joints.
4. Appearance of drafts
Any draft creates discomfort in the apartment. On the balcony, it usually appears due to open junctions between insulation plates. These places also become straight bridges of cold. In order for insulation to be reliable, choose materials with spike-groove or locks in the form of a L-edge.
5. No heating devices
No matter how reliable insulation, without heating devices on the balcony, it will still be cold. Since the batteries of the central heating in this place are imposed, think about alternatives. Among them are a remote fan heater, a warm floor or an electric radiator. They will create a perfectly comfortable atmosphere on the balcony in any weather.
