Any person's dream is, of course, comfortable housing, but it is quite difficult to create such conditions without professional skills. Of course, all rooms can be arranged at will, but even this cannot guarantee comfort and warmth. Many of our compatriots are familiar with this problem, but only a few know that it is quite simple to solve it. With the modern rhythm of life, for example, on the Internet, you can find a lot of information about how to insulate the floor and which floor coverings to apply on the balcony with your own hands.
Materials
As for the choice of material, experts advise to approach it with all seriousness, because otherwise there is a fear that after a short period of time you may be disappointed in the result. Today, an abundance of various types of domestic and imported floor coverings can be found in domestic markets. They have their advantages and disadvantages, so it is quite difficult to choose the right option. And in the future, in order not to regret the money spent, experts recommend giving preference to materials that meet the following parameters:
- reliability
- long service life
- appearance
- environmentally friendly materials
- care and maintenance
Wooden floor
According to statistics, many compatriots prefer wood when choosing materials for floors and glazed balconies, and the wooden floor meets all standards and consumer requirements. Prior to the direct installation of the flooring, preliminary work is underway:
- cleans, prepares the surface
- a screed is done if necessary
- a vapor barrier film is laid
- lags are attached
- insulation is being installed
- the flooring of the coating itself
Of course, you can lay the material without carrying out these works, but in this case the floor will become unusable after a short period of time. The next equally important material is thermal insulation, here you need to approach this stage with special responsibility, only proper insulation of the floor on the balcony will achieve the desired result.
Tiles on the outdoor balcony. Laying tiles is more acceptable for outdoor balconies, where the floor is influenced by natural factors, rain, snow, frost, etc. Tiles have practically no disadvantages, but still, of course, we are talking about a very cold surface of the material. Preparatory work involves the following types of work:
- cleans, prepares the surface
- surface leveling if necessary
- laying of vapor barrier film
- laying of thermal insulation material
- cement screed filling
Only then is the tile laid, after which it is necessary to make a grouting of the seams.
Insulation of the balcony floor is an equally important procedure, and without it it is simply impossible to get the perfect floor on the balcony. Glazing, of course, increases the temperature by 7-10 degrees, which is not enough, considering what temperature is typical for the Russian winter. There are several types of floor insulation, but the most effective of them are the following:
- raising the floor
- installation of underfloor heating
- thermal insulation
- vapor barrier
As a rule, it is not recommended to use water floors on balconies, therefore, it is necessary to select floors from the above options.
Underfloor heating
Its cost is quite high, but it's worth it, its advantages are able to fully offset all costs. For example, the heating season has not yet begun, and the temperature is already low, and here it will be justified to use this method for heating. Installation of such a floor requires certain knowledge and skills, so it is better to trust specialists who know their business.
