After glazing the balcony comes his turn interior decoration. First of all choose the type of material that suits you.

Now the market presents a huge variety of materials, which makes a somewhat difficult. If you are limited to the budget, then options are less.

Most often choose PVC panels. In this article we will talk about them, or rather about their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, as well as which panels are suitable for the balcony.

Classification of plastic panels

Plastic panels are volumetric strips of PVC with longitudinal ribbins inside. You can choose a seamless PVC panels, which, when assembling, form solid canvas, or suture, which in the assembled form have a gap on the canvas, a visually pulling room.

There are several PVC panel classifications:

1) in size: panels are standard sizes - 2.5-6 m and 0.44-2.44 m. For balconies, use PVC panels with a width of 0.25-0.4 m.

Also use plastic lining. It is narrower (0.1-0.2 m). Also suitable for ceilings.

2) by type of coating: the top layer of the panels can be covered with thermal printing (the figure is applied using a special thermal film, and then covered with a lacquer), offset printing (the picture is applied by the typographic form and is also covered with varnish, the image can be diverse, but more often Use imitation natural stone) And, finally, the third option is a laminated film pasted on plastic (the drawing can also be different).

For these materials it is easy to care for, it has a low price, so it is often used.

3) according to the method of production there are two types of PVC panels:

• pressure-stamping panels are made of standard plastic by pressing it;
• sandwich panels - consist of two layers of PVC, between which there is a layer of insulation ( mineral wool or polystyrene foam). These panels do not require thermo-, hydro and vaporizolation. But they are small, which is a bit uncomfortable when installing.

Pros and cons of PVC panels on the balcony

Now plastic is used everywhere. It did not exception and the right finish of the balconies. PVC panels have plenty of advantages:

• environmentally friendly material that does not release toxic vapor;
• resistant to moisture;
• simplicity of installation on any surface without preliminary alignment;
• a small mass, which is important for the balcony;
• low cost;
• huge selection of colors and drawings.

There is a material and several small flaws:

• when heated from it proceeds nasty smell;
• it may lose the shape with sharp drops of temperatures, so the balcony is better to pre-insulate;
• it is easy to damage in mechanical exposure, so choose not cheap thin panels, and the panels with a thickness of at least 0.8 cm.

Types of mounting profiles

For installation of PVC panels require special mounting profiles.

Direct profiles are fixed on the crate from the side either from the side of a wide side part.

Corner coughred profiles must be installed on the outer and inner corners.

The process of finishing stages

An independent installation of PVC panels is not so complicated as you may seem. In this article, we will look at the balcony finish plastic panels In the photo reports.

In fact, even if you do not have experience in this area, you will still have everything. The main thing follows the rules about which we will talk about.

In addition, prepare the necessary equipment:

Screwdriver with a magnetic nozzle,

Drill or perforator

Mounting foam,

Plastic corners

Plinth,

Windion profiles

Thermal insulation (polystyrene or mineral wool),

Suspensions

Galvanized metal profiles

Dowel or selflessness of small sizes.

First stage. Installing the crate.

It should be started after installing steam, hydro and thermal insulation.

Consider that all the trim will be mounted on the crate, so perform its installation extremely tight.

Start the installation from the decision on the location of the frame of the crate. Next, attach the P-shaped profile to the walls with a distance of 0.5-0.7 m between the slats using dowels or self-tapping screws.

Second phase. Installation of PVC panels on the ceiling.

Start the balcony finish from the ceiling. Install metal carcassAnd then follow the work as follows:

1) Secure the ceiling of galvanized metal starting profiles around the ceiling perimeter.

2) Using the perforator, make holes in the profile and in the wall, insert a dowel in them and screw the profile screwdriver.

3) In the center of the ceiling with iron suspensions, fasten the galvanized profile. If the width of your balcony is approximately 120 cm, then secure one central profile. If the width is greater, then two.

4) Attach the starting profiles for plastic panels to the central profile.

5) stretch the cables to the location of the lighting devices.

6) Insert the first panel into the starting profiles and screw it with self-strokes to the guide, as well as on the edges.

7) Insert the following panels in the same way to the previous one by screwing them to metal profile.

8) Cut the last panel to the desired dimensions so that it can go beyond the previous 0.5 cm (and not 0.7 cm as the rest), and then install it in place.

Third stage. Installation of panels on the walls.

This is the final stage in the PVC panel balcony finish. Starting with space under the window. This process is similar to working with the ceiling.

First, attach metalpille to the bottom of the window sill. Focus on the side profiles using the construction level. Next, fasten the profile by the floor.

Then install metal suspensions in the center of the wall under the window at a distance of about 0.5 m from each other.

The space between the wall and metal profile fill in thermal insulation, and the slit - mounting foam. Secure the guide metal to the suspension.

As you can see, it is easy enough. PVC panels are not only cheap, but also quite pleasant to the species. Thanks to him you are easy and with minimal cost Let's give your balcony in order.

Video: process of decoration by plastic loggia panels

Plastic windows on the loggia or balcony - one of optimal options Warm room. Due to this, the functional use of additional space is significantly expanding. On a warmed loggia, especially if it has a good area, you can equip a room of recreation, personal account or winter greenhouse.

Use for glazing plastic windows is no longer innovation. Most consumers choose this particular product due to their price and convenient use. But not everyone pays attention to the fact that to ensure reliable and qualitative functioning, you should choose from specific parameters.

Characteristics

Initially, we will deal with the question of which the glazing of the loggia or the balcony is plastic windows.

1. In a room in which such glazing is present, heat is maintained by 25% more.
2. With an increase in the glazing area, more natural lighting is achieved.
3. Availability at the price.
4. Plastic windows are able to withstand different temperature mode: Frosts and heat.
5. Reliably protect from moisture ingress inside the room.
6. Quick installation.
7. Move from ecological material and do not distinguish harmful substances.
8. Easy to care. For washing is required only pure water and rags, cleaner for stalk.

Which windows better choose for loggia

Heat on loggias is provided by windows with a high degree of heat insulation

Getting started to install glazing on the loggia, the question arises how to choose the plastic windows for this. It all depends on which functional load will carry a loggia or a balcony subsequently.

To ensure a warm room, a special glass is needed, which has a high degree of thermal insulation. It consists of a special alloy that has heat-resistant properties, which provides reliable protection from the effects of climatic conditions.

Cold glazing is suitable for the balcony used only in summer time

In the case when it is not planned to change the direct destination of the loggia, the quality of the glass does not matter.

The main thing is that it has noise insulating properties and defended the room from rain, snow and dust to it.

In addition to the quality of the glass, we draw attention to the structure of the glass accessories:

• for ordinary loggia, single glass windows can be purchased;
• for warm - you need to order two-chamber or three-dimensional double-glazed windows.

For loggias that are above the 5th floor, it is better not to install non-breaking structures, and sliding. Since the effect of the external environment is greater than below.

Types of glazing

If you want to arrange a living room on the balcony, then choose warm glazing

To provide right choice Plastic windows will get acquainted in more detail with the features of glazing and its types.

• Cold glazing. Direct Purpose - Protection against Impact Impact Out. This type of protection is not able to maintain heat indoors in winter or protect from the heat in the summer. It is not suitable for the arrangement of a full-fledged loggia.
• For a warm and cozy room, a warm type of glazing is suitable. Plastic windows with double-chamber windows are used. It reliably protects from moisture from entering the room and provides thermal insulation. With warm glazing, full-fledged loggia exploitation is possible in winter.
• Also types of glazing are divided by the type of opening window construction. It can be swollen or sliding. The swollen system is already the usual one, the essence of which is to open the flaps attached to the profiles with the help of loops. Sliding system It is equipped with a special roller system - window sash moving along the guides.

Remember that the type of glazing depends on the future functional purpose of the room.

Plastic window installation technology

Installing plastic windows on the loggia or balcony is not a simple, but quite complete. After making a decision to save on the installation and execute this process yourself, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the technology of work. On how to install plastic windows according to GOST, see this video:

Start replacing windows with the work of their measurements. This process must be performed very responsibly. The order of the windows in your chosen company is possible only after accurate removal of the size of the future window.

So, proper process Mealing windows is based on the distance measuring in three places. These are the two extreme fence points and in its middle. Since the opening is never ideal, then, to determine the dimensions of the future window, several measurement options are needed. As the basis take the smallest meaning.

So, the basic rules for removing measurements:

1. The width of the window structure is determined by the length of the fence, which will be installed. From the resulting value should be between 60-70 mm on each side. This provides space for mounting connecting profiles.
2. The height of the window is determined by the distance from the fence to the upper overlap. Do not forget to reduce the values \u200b\u200bby 25-30 mm.

Preparation of Piece

Before installing new windows, remove the old sash and dismantle window Rama.

After the measurements are removed and the windows are ordered, we begin the preparation of the proof for the installation process. For a start, the old device is dismantled. Works must be performed very carefully and prevent fencing faults.

• from the old frames first remove the glass. Perform it with a chisel. First remove the vertical strokes, then the upper and lower, after which the glass is taken;
• next, the loops remove the window sash;
• then, in some places, the frames are cut and gently take it out.

All disassembled parts need to be removed from the balcony and clean the discovery from the wreckage and dust.

Before installing the design, it is necessary to determine the suitability of the old visor. If it is possible to further use it, then it remains to check its stability and, if necessary, strengthen. If there was a need to arrange a new visor, then this process can be done according to such a scheme:

1. Initially, the rear frame is installed. It is welded from metal corners. Then we do holes in it for anchor bolts. At the top of the frame, the holes are made with a pitch of 40-60 cm, and in the bottom it can be increased.
2. Further, the frame is pre-installed on its place, check the level and mark the places that the holes fall. Also note the line of placement of the upper part of the frame.
3. At the next stage, on the noted points, we do the holes for fasteners in concrete overlap, and on the line we do the stroke. The depth of the plot should be at least 20 mm.
4. Further, the rear frame is attached to the wall, and the elements of slopes and the crossbar are attached to it.
5. Preparing roofing material For visor. In most cases, it is used galvanized stainless steel. Install the visor edge in the stroke, and then with the help of welding it is attached to the frame. Stroke close up cement mortar. Read more about Mounting Visor, see this video:

The visor installation must be made before installing window structures, since after installation, it is quite difficult to put it in the opening between the profile and the overlap and is almost impossible to securely fix it.

The installation of plastic windows on loggias is started after the visor is installed, the profile is connected and the anchor holes are prepared.

• a window structure is installed in the prepared loan of the loggia, it is pre-fixed with pads and the gradual leveling of the profile is beginning. If in some places there is an uneven, one should put more temporary gaskets;
• after everything is perfectly exhibited, the profile must be reliably secured. Throughout the perimeter, in addition to the bottom, we attach a profile using a dowel, and at the bottom with the help of anchor bolts;
• outside the bottom of the bottom is set, and then proceed to strangling the joints and seams by mounting foam;
• next, the installation of the window continues and mounted on the profile of the sash and double-glazed windows. The functioning of the valves and the installed fittings is checked. Adjustment is performed;
• the final stage is the installation of the window sill. It is attached with the help of self-tapping screws, and the space between the profile, the fence and directly by the panel of the window sill is foam.

Stop profile is necessary as much as possible by level.

Before climbing the seams, do not forget to check the level of the window design once again, since disorders are possible during attachment. If offset occurred, you will have to perform the process again.

Installing the plastic window on the loggia is quite difficult and requires large labor costs. There are no little things here and it is advisable to carefully fulfill all the advice of professionals.

Also, you should find an assistant, since alone perform some stages will not be easy.

If you have improved your balcony or loggia with everything necessary, namely, equipped with glazing, insulation and high-quality heating, now it's time to proceed to a beautiful interior decoration. For the decoration of the balcony room there are many suitable materials, but if you want to save a little and prefer careful, cozy interiorIn this case, the best option will be the trim of the balcony with plastic panels. This material is considered universal, practical and well suited for indoor lining.

Balcony decoration by plastic panels

PVC Materials

The interior or facade of the balcony can be sewn seamless panels, which in the finished version look like a homogeneous web (without mounting gaps) or suture, which have small gaps between the plates.

Also, plastic panels are excellent for the following features:

1. the size;
2. surface finish material;
3. preparation method.

For facing works on the loggia (balcony), the material, the average width of which varies from 0.25 to 0.4 m is often used. A good alternative is plastic lining with even less than 0.2 meter width (it is not bad for the ceiling trim).

Term

Plastic panels have a variety of surface finish, one of which is to thermocheate. With the help of thermal printing on the surface of the finishing material, the decoration of any degree of complexity is applied, from bright saturated, but simple drawings to exotic episodes, photographs and complex mosaics. Each drawing is translated into plastic using a special thermal film, after which it is fixed by varnish to protect the decoration and creating a more attractive shiny surface.

Offset printing

Another equally practical way of transferring the picture is the use of offset printing. With the help of it, almost everything is transmitted, including complex pictures, photos, etc., but as practice shows, various imitation of stone uses in great demand. It is displayed by typographical printing and varnished, to create a beautiful, glossy surface plate.

Lamination

The third option of plastic finishes - laminated film with a finished image. The sticker on the surface of PVC from the laminated film can transmit a high image of any drawing, photographs, etc., as well as high-quality imitation of natural elements of nature: stone, wooden materials, leather, etc. Plastic panels covered with laminated film are considered excellent material for finishing workwhich is distinguished by antistatic, a small price and unpretentious cleaning.

Preparation options with plastic panels

There are several methods for manufacturing PVC material: the so-called "sandwich" and pressed - stamping.

• The usual plastic for facing is made by pressing the polymer substance or polyvinyl chloride, which almost half consists of a rock salt and various components, such as oil products, coloring substances, etc.
• The standard "sandwich" - the panel consists of two-layer PVC with thermal insulating material inside.

One-sided panel has a stronger surface standard, successfully used for inner lining.

"Sandwich" - plates, in most cases, no additional hydro, paro or thermal insulation are needed, but during the plastic sheat, sometimes there are small difficulties due to the dimensions of the products.

Pros and cons on working with plastic panels

Finishing the balcony panels PVC over the past few decades has consolidated quite firmly among the population. First, it is completely environmentally friendly, since polyvinyl chloride is not contained toxic substances, and secondly, the material has a high resistance of a wet environment.

The following factors are considered the essential pluses of the material:

• For mounting plastic finish No need to additionally align the surface of the wall, the ceiling.
• The panel has a low weight that does not overload the overall design of the balcony.
• The material is not pickyled to the care (for cleaning the one damp cloth).
• It is inexpensive, has a huge range of colors and textures.
• Lok in the installation.

The lining of the balcony with plastic panels includes several drawbacks:

1. Changes in PVC features under high temperatures.
2. Low-temperatures perception.
3. Low resistance to physical exertion.

If the temperature is raised from direct contact with the fire (heating, ignition), the plastic highlights the caustic smoke and a poisonous smell that can threaten human health.

It is advisable to implement the balcony with panels from plastic only on insulated structures, since the intensive effects of low plastic temperatures are deformed.

Part of the construction PVC is practically unable to reflect even the average mechanical damage, therefore the recommended material density must be at least 8 mm.

Step-by-step instructions for decoration of the balcony by plastic panels

Installation of the balcony room occurs with:

• Direct assembly metal profile.
• Corner bike metal milling.

The direct is fixed from the side of the crossbar or through the side, wide part of the root, and the corner is attached to the inner, as well as the outer corners.

Metal frame

In fact, the covering panels of PVC do with their own hands is not so complicated, the main thing is to know a certain installation technique. The most important thing you need is patience, attentiveness and clear following instructions.

Instruments

The first without which it is impossible to do in the trimmer of the balcony - these are tools, namely:

1. Electrode or perforator.
2. Sculpture (with a magnetic nozzle).
3. Building level.
4. Foam for mounting.
5. Plastic plinths and corners.
6. Dummy and galvanized profile.
7. Insulation, suspensions and small dowels (and selflessness will come in handy).

After the tools are prepared, we can start the balcony and loggia trim PVC panels.

Okeekhet

High-quality balcony premises are one of the most important affairs in the balcony trim, because It keeps all plastic material.

Floor insulation

For its installation, we note on the surface of the wall accurate marking of the future design. After markingings, we plant metal-plain with a cross section in the form of the letter P (distance 0.5-0.7 m) on the self-tapping screw or dowel and we attach it to the wall.

Separate the ceiling

High-quality balcony plastic panels starts with their own hands only from the ceiling, and after you installed the metal frame - the installation is made in the following sequence:

• Fix on the ceiling surface start metal. With the help of the perforator, we drill holes in the profile itself (do not forget also about the wall), insert a dowel. After that, fix the frame screwdriver.
• We define the middle of the future design, after which they fix the profile on iron suspensions. If the width of the loggia allows, it is enough to be one central, and if it exceeds 120 cm - it is desirable to use two.
• Mount to the central galvanized profile start-up, intended for installation of PVC panels.
• If necessary, we make wiring for future illumination of the balcony.
• We establish the first plastic in the starting profile, fix it with self-draws.
• We put the following plastic jack to each other and also screw to the profile.
• We shorten the last PVC so that the material can go beyond the previous plastic by 5 mm.
• We change the two extreme panels to the latter to enter the farthest profile without the slightest gap.

Installation of plastic panels on the balcony

If necessary, to change the length of the material of the casing, use plastic moldings.

Installation of finishing walls

After cope with the ceiling, go to the installation of the first wall. The work will be very reminded by the installation of the ceiling, although the installation of the loggia finish with plastic panels, like the balcony, should begin with space under the windows.

• We begin to mount the galvanized profile below the windows.
• We establish the accuracy of the placement of extreme metal products with the help of a construction level.
• Fix it in the middle of the wall and at the floor level.
• On the metal base Under the windows I mount several suspensions (the gap should be 0.5 meters).
• The empty space between the profile and the wall fill in a building insulation, such as mineral wool, then close up all the slots of the mounted foam. The finish of the balconies panels should look like this:
• Further fix on the suspension guide metal.
• We establish plastic panels on the fixed profiles, using ordinary dowels or screws.
• Eliminate the various slots between PVC walls with walls and floor plastic plinths, slots in the area of \u200b\u200bthe ceiling. We close with a special ceiling plinth.

Fasteners of plastic panels

After we installed the last plinth, the casing of your balcony came to an end. Please note - the costs of trimming the balcony panels PVC are not really great, plus it is indeed one of the elementary work in the overhaul of your home. Video by material will help usually.

Balconies and loggia

How to shepherd balcony panels PVC: think less - do more

From the author:hello, dear reader of the repair and construction portal Seberemont! We dedicate this article to one simple, but, at the same time, the topical topic: how to see a balcony panels PVC. We will find out what the advantages of this finishing material before alternative options, how to work properly with plastic panels, and consider several installation methods. In general, today we are wearing a balcony (loggia) PVC panels.

The title for the article is not chance. The fact is that to see the loggia (or balcony) with your own hands using this material can even be able to an inexperienced master (and not a master at all - will also be able to). The material is quite easy both in terms of weight and processing. And this is its advantage before, say, OSB or even GCL. Often balconies, trimmed PVC, are completely covered with this material, that is, the material is attached to the walls, and to the parapet from the inside, and to the ceiling. And such a picture can be observed in a set of both premises of housing and in offices and other public institutions.

What caused such popularity of this material? Now we learn what the PVC panel does such a popular solution for finishing balconies and loggias.

Advantages, disadvantages and general properties of PVC

Now we will highlight the main advantages of the "Hero of Our For" so that you have the idea of \u200b\u200bwhat you will deal with. So, the advantages of PVC panels:

• low weight. The material does not load the design, and therefore can be applied almost anywhere: at least wooden house, even in the panel, though in the brick. In a word - universality in pure form;
• several fastening options. We will talk about them a little later, in the course of the text;
• an excellent opportunity to pave the insulation between our finishing material and the wall. Although there are also drywall sheets, and OSB-plates;
• absolute immunity to moisture. Therefore, the material is used not only on the balcony, but also in the bathroom and even when the internal finish of the car washes. Yes, there is also moisture-proof GLC, and OSP, but such a decision will cost more;
• hygienicity. Plastic is easy to wash, it does not absorb smells, the dirt is not injected into it;
• immunity to temperature effects ambient. Yes, from the extremely high temperatures of plastic, of course, melted, and from the extreme cold - it will become very fragile, but we are talking about the temperature that happens on the street. From the usual summer heat or winter cold with panels will not happen;
• ease when installing. As we have already spoken in the accession, even the amateur will cope with the work;
• possibility of use different materials For fixation. The plastic panels can be mounted using dowels / screws, and with a construction stapler and brackets, and nail to nail. Over the result, the fastening method does not particularly affect;
• wide range color solutions: from classic white - to the most incredible shades: purple, pink, acid-green or poisonous-orange. There are also panels with various repetitive images. In short, the decor for every taste and color;
• a wide selection of sizes (10 cm - 25 cm - width and 2 m - 4 m - in length);
• relatively low cost.

That's the seemingly excellent material. But, for fairness, let's list and its shortcomings to provide you with the most complete picture to make a decision. So, the disadvantages of PVC panels:

• fragility. On the one hand, yes, plastic is very soft and flexible, but on the other - the material is quite easy to damage. Not only in the installation process, but also after completion. The material can be unintended to damage the mop during cleaning or during transportation of furniture and other items. In addition, the panel can be damaged simply by pressing her finger. IN general Material Pretty soft, which is both his dignity, and its disadvantage;

• inner emptiness. No, not in the metaphorical sense, but in the right one. Although the panels have inside the rigid rib, they are hollow. Yes, it makes the material with almost weightless, but at the same time it is a significant disadvantage. For example, you will lean on the wall in the place where the element of the crate and the distance between the beams is more than 1.5 m - you can with a significant share of the likelihood to break the design;
• requirement for wood design (frame). Wood should not be wet or dried incorrectly. The fact is that after installation, the tree will begin to piss and the panel "will behave." As a result, the wall will be a curve, and this is not exactly what we need;
• combustion. Not sure that there are often sources of open fire on your balcony, but, nevertheless, the flammability of the material should be considered. The material is not so much on how much melting, highlighting the caustic, saturated smoke. And it rules rather quickly;
• susceptibility to the effects of abrasive agents. The panels are easy, but to clean them, applying abrasive cleaning products. The same applies to brushes and scrapers. The smooth surface of plastic panels is very easy to scratch, so during cleaning it is necessary to use only soft sponges and liquid detergents;
• chemical activity. It's not a fact that in the context of our conversation it is very relevant, but to give you the most complete picture of the material under consideration, this property is also worth considering. You are unlikely to treat PVC acid, but even if you want to wipe the contaminated area with a sponge, impregnated with alcohol (hydrogen peroxide), is not best idea. Alcohol composition will erase gloss from the surface.

And so, we decided on the strengths and weak parties of the finishing material. As we could notice, there are significant disadvantages, but it is not at all reason to abandon use. Still, the material is very practical and universal, and its weaknesses and characteristics It should be considered and not to violate the rules for installation and operation. In any case, now you know exactly what it is impossible to do with the clapboard. Now let's talk about what you should pay attention to when buying in a construction store:

• weight / number of rigidity ribs. As a rule, in stores on the stand you can detect several samples of the lining. If you take one of them in your hands and feel that it is suspiciously easy - you should not buy it. Most likely, inside the insufficient number of partitions (rigidity), which adversely affects the strength of the panel;
• wall thickness. Within the norm, the thickness of the walls should be in the range of 0.5-0.7 mm. And if this indicator is less, then, again, the material will be too fragile, and a large number of rejection to you completely nothing to do;
• resistance to ultraviolet. Be sure to specify this parameter from the seller. If this indicator is too low, - after a short time after installation, the lining will become fragile, as if dried on the sun maple leaf;
• smell. This is perhaps the most (!) important factor. Lining should not have a sharp specific smell (for example, petroleum). If Prastmasse exudes a sharp, unpleasant smell, it speaks of toxicity and low quality plastics. In addition, this smell is unlikely to disappear over time, as an unscrupulous seller can convince you, whose main task is to execute the sales plan. Do not take the material from this series;
• marriage. Carefully inspect the panels for cracks and chips. It is also important that neither one of the panels there is a divorce, since the characteristic divorces suggest that the production of low quality secondary raw materials;
• the presence of a protective film. Each cry must be covered with a protective polyethylene film on both sides. If not, the panels will be scratched during transportation. In general, the lack of film can only allow the manufacturer of low-quality products, to acquire which you naturally do not.

Well, now you know about the properties and choosing PVC almost everything you need. Another important fact that we cannot be ignored. If after you got acquainted with the list of deficiencies, you changed my mind to use this material, - select MDF. As a rule, it is possible to buy MDF in the same store department where PVC is implemented. This is a medium density fiberboard (in English it sounds like a medium density fibreboard. Because the plates are called the MDF abbreviation [MDF]).

Do not associate this material with chipboard or fiberboard, since MDF is an environmentally friendly material. When it is made, toxic glue is not used as in the case of the examples given. The only thing that the MDF conventionally loses PVC is in resistance to moisture. The material is not designed for staying in a wet environment. Mounting methods, by the way, these two materials are practically no different.

Now we will talk about the installation of this material. And let's start, perhaps, from the ceiling.

Ceiling on the balcony of plastic panels

To correctly mount PVC on the ceiling, you must first make the necessary counts. Here, perhaps, with them and let's start.

In the construction stores, the PVC panels are usually sold separately: the length of one plank is 3 m / 6 m. But if you have made all the necessary calculations earlier, then in the store you, most likely, they kindly put it in accordance with the parameters of your room.

• thip the ceiling area. Suppose the parameters of your balcony 1.5 × 3 m ⇒ S (ceiling area) \u003d 4.5 m². In principle, knowing what the balcony is the length and width, - you can already go to the store, since these knowledge will be enough for the sellers to provide you with the required amount of material;
• calculate the amount of material. If the width of the panel is, say, 10 cm, and the length is 3 m, then it will logically make a liner. This means that we will need 15 panels of three-meter length to cover the ceiling of 1.5 × 3 m.

Keep in mind that it is necessary to have material about the reserve - in case of rejection. This is no more than 20% of the total. Now you need to calculate the number wooden bar. Usually, for such purposes, the timber with a cross section of 2 × 3 cm is chosen. But this is if the ceiling insulation on the balcony is not supposed. The step between the straps should be about a meter.

Since the bar should be placed perpendicular to the direction of PVC panels, we will mount it in width, that is, perpendicular to the three-meter wall. If we assume that the step between the panels is 1 m, then we will need 6 m timber (3 to 2 m).

In addition to PVC panels and bars for the construction of a frame (if such is supposed), we will also need ceiling plinth. For this purpose, we are also suitable for the usual outdoor baseline of the corresponding shade. It should be mounted in the same way as if you were installed between the wall and the floor. The only difference is to turn it over. Naturally, it is necessary to install it only after the walls are completed.

If the perimeter of the balcony is 9 m (p \u003d 3 + 3 + 1.5 + 1.5 \u003d 9), and the plinth length is 2.5 m, then we will need 4 planks (in fact, - 3.6, but plinth In construction stores are released only entirely). Also, if you use in the work "Classic" floor plinth, do not forget about the fittings, i.e. On inner corners, connections, self-stairs and dowels.

In general, the necessary fasteners and tools must be said separately.

That's what we need (or may be needed theoretically) to make the right loggia / balcony:

• electric jigsaw. This tool will be needed in the manufacture of the frame, as well as for cutting the plastic panels themselves, especially - for transverse cutting;
• hacksaw. The longitudinal cutting of the elements of the future ceiling is more advantageous to perform with the help of a hacksaw, and not an electrolovka;
• electric drill;
• screwdriver;
• self-tapping screw / dowel (50-120 mm) - the mount should penetrate overlap, at least 30 mm;
• building stapler with the required set of brackets;
• construction level;
• hammer (without it, do not do during repair work);
• knife. Suitable knife with replaceable blades used for cutting cardboard.

Now you can go to active actions and decisively proceed to the mounting of the frame.

As for the installation, it is necessary to decide whether the ceiling will be insulated. In case you have a balcony of the last floor, you still need to warm the ceiling, because according to the laws of physics, the heated air rises up, because a significant part of the loss of precious heat falls on the ceiling.

First of all, you need to check if there is no leakage in the overlap. If there is, - they need to be eliminated on the mandatory (!) Order. From high humidity Mold is formed, and it is harmful not only for the body, but also for building materials. If fungal formations have a place to be, then the ceiling (and if they spread to walls or parapet, they also concern them too) it is necessary to handle the antiseptic agent. Penetrating primer is suitable for us. It is advisable to apply a tool in several layers.

Heat the ceiling, like the walls using such materials as:

• mineral wool (Minvata);
• styrofoam;
• penoplex;
• penophol. This is the thinnest insulation. But his main advantage is not in thickness, like the previous three, but that it has a foil coating. Thanks to the foil, it creates the thermos effect in the room, reflecting the heat, as if the mirror. Usually, it is used by Mosilla in the installation of foam or inferno.

And now we will proceed to the installation work:

• we define the level on which the ceiling finish will be located and weaving markup;
• according to the applied markup, mount the fastening element. By the way, for these purposes there is a special plinth with a groove to insert the finish elements, which is quite convenient;
• fix at the overlap of the bar / profile. It should be fastened with the help of suspended fasteners and dowels / screws. Naturally, all frame elements must be in the same plane. To achieve this result, use the thread stretched out of the angle. Of course, - without the construction level it is not here;
• we are deploying a layer of insulation;
• pontent PVC panels. It is logical that before installing the protective polyethylene film It is necessary to remove.

Before mounting panels, you need to make sure something else. Check if the ceiling plane does not intersect with the trajectory at which windows will open. In other words, whether the ceiling does not interfere with opening / closing windows. It would seem that the situation is comic, but, oddly enough, this also happens.

When installing the panels on the ceiling of special problems should not occur: just insert the planks in the grooves, fix them to the frame using a construction stapler (or self-strains / nails) and thus cover the entire area. Let's focus on how to score fasteners only in the upper part of the groove. There is a chance that the last element of our design will have to trim in length, according to measurements.

A variant of the construction of a multi-level suspended design of PVC is possible, as when construeding suspended ceiling from plasterboard sheets. Read more about this in the article "". Now go to the walls. By the way, another event is possible: first the installation of panels on the walls, and then on the ceiling.

Plumber of walls

As we mentioned at the beginning of our text, plastic lining to the mills can be attached in several ways (in essence, two of them):

• fixation to the frame (cruise);
• gluing.

The first way should be used if you plan to lay the insulation or in the room the wall curves. If you are planning to make a logic continuation of the room (kitchen / living room / bedroom) from the loggia / balcony), which is very practical and appropriate, it is still necessary to insulate. After all, on the balcony, you can not only dry the underwear and keep any nonsense. Here you can organize the recreation area, and the greenhouse, and the library, and workplace with a computer.

In short, insult, gentlemen!

Heaters, tools and materials for the insulation of the walls are all the same as used to finish the ceiling. Yes, installation does not have fundamental differences. Judge himself:

• marking of the crate on the wall. Reiki need to be placed perpendicular to the panels. The step between them, as a rule, is 50 cm;
• cutting the elements of the crate. Do not remember that wood must be dry, otherwise, when it still begins to piss, - the plastic will seriously "lead." Moreover, it will not go there at all where we need;
• fixation of frame elements to the wall. At the same time, do not forget to use the level and plumb. This is a very important stage of work. If adjustment is required, then under the place where the self-tapping screw is cleaned, it is necessary to put a wooden cry of the necessary thickness. No more, no less. And one more an important nuance: The ends of the BRUSEV should not reach the side walls of about 2 cm. This distance is called a deletion gap and it is necessary to not interfere with the tree freely deform under the influence of moisture changes and temperature. Wear moisture, for example, in spring and autumn, wooden lags are slightly pulled and thicken, and when the air is dry, on the contrary, they are slightly compressed. This is a natural process, and this must be considered when working, regardless of whether you mount the frame to the ceiling or walls;
• installation of insulation. Any material (whether mineral wool, foam or penplex) should close to the frame elements closely. If it is fluttered with bars, it is excellent if a little will not reach, - is also good. But the insulation does not have to act beyond the thickness of the frame. As a rule, for the insulation of balconies and loggias, 5 cm insulation is enough. Although, the thicker, the warmer. For parapet, for example, a double layer is required - 10 cm, because it is usually the coldest part. Consequently, we build a double crate, but only so that the elements of the first level frame elements have not crossed with the elements of the second. Still, a tree is not the best heat insulator. Based on the above, we conclude that the bar we need with a cross section of 50 × 50 mm;
• insert plastic dice into molding;
• fixation of the plastic panel to the frame with carnations / beds / brackets;
• inserting the second board in the groove first - and so on.

Logical conclusion

To new meetings, dear reader. All the best!

The inner design of the loggia is no less important than her outdoor finish. Thanks to this, it appears the opportunity to get another room, albeit not distinguished by dimensions. And after all, you can fulfill such work quite almost alone, saving a lot of money on the call of masters. It is important only to imagine everything right how to shelter the loggia. We will talk about it.

Advantages and features of PVC panels

PVC panels are very popular on the construction market of finishing materials. As for the internal finishing of the loggia, then this most practical materialwhich is not afraid of moisture, damage, damage to rodents and insects. PVC does not fade on the sunny side, with time it does not crack, it has a sufficiently strong facial surface. The plastic loggia cover will allow the walls of completeness and aesthetic appearance. And if you consider the variety of colors of PVC panels, then create imitation of a stone or wooden surface and will not be difficult.

For interior decoration, plastic is used with a width of 25, 36 and 50 cm. However, consider that the narrower plastic is easier mounted.

Preparation of loggia to trim

Before separating the loggia with plastic panels, all previous works should be carried out. Loggia should be sewing outside, glazed and insulated. All the gaps through which street air can penetrate should be taken by mounting foam and sealant. On the front wall it is recommended to pave a hydrobarier to protect the loggia from a reference. If mineral wool is used as a heater, it should be placed between two layers of the hydrocker to protect against dampness.

First prepared the walls. They are cleared of old wallpapers, detacies. If the walls are "humpback", it is advisable to produce their alignment. Especially poorly trimmed bulbs. They need or shoot down to the perforator, or bypass when mounting the crate.

Perform work on the arrangement of the floor and the ceiling. On the floor, wooden lags are attached to which the plates are stacked. On top of the slabs usually goes linoleum or laminate.

The ceiling is usually trimmed with plastic, like the walls. The fastening of plastic panels to the ceiling is recommended to be performed by galvanized profiles, as the ceiling, most often, is suspended, although the use of wooden bars is also possible.

What tools and components will need

The inner decoration of the Loggia plastic assumes the presence of certain materials, tools and consumables. Without them, it will be impossible to perform high-quality trim.

To work, we will need such tools:

• cruciform screwdriver;
• metal cutting hacksaw;
• screwdriver or low-robust drill;
• perforator;
• drill for a perforator with a diameter of 6 mm;
• stapler;
• knife for plasterboard for cutting panels;
• building level.

Before suturing the loggia, it is necessary to prepare the following materials:

• pVC panels;
• plastic profiles: Starter (P-shaped), F-shaped, connecting (if the length of the panels is less than the height of the loggia), the corners of the external, ceiling plinths;
• dowels for fastening the crate with a length of 80 mm and a diameter of 6 mm;
• self-tapping screws, brackets, nails, fleece with a drill.

Methods for fastening panels on the walls

You can place PVC panels on vertical surfaces in different ways. We list the methods for fastening plastic panels to the wall:

1. If the walls are perfectly smooth, then the panels are fixed on the walls without crate. For this they are fixed on glue type "liquid nails".
2. Fastening on plastic crate mounting planks . This is quite a difficult job, as the planks must be installed on the wall perfectly smoothly. Mounting to such profiles of panels is carried out by clips that are inserted inside profiles.
3. Panels can be attached to the walls on the crate of galvanized profiles. Such a doom in practice is extremely rare. Since these profiles are hollow, attached to the wall uncomfortable.
4. Fastening on a wooden crate. This is the easiest way to which the attachment of PVC panels on the wall is performed simply and most securely. Humidity on a glazed loggia is almost never high, so you can not be afraid for the fact that the tree is swinging.

Methods for fastening panels on the crate

Let's find out how to fix plastic panels to a wooden crate. This uses such fasteners as:

1. Self-tapping screws. Their length should be 16-19 mm. Screwd up with a screwdriver or cruciform screwdriver. This is the most reliable way to fasten the panels. In the case of needing, the screws are easily twisted from the planks, freeing the panels.
2. Skoby. Clogged with a stapler. This is very fast way Fastening. But there is one flaw. If for some reason you have to remove the panel, then it will be problematic.
3. Kleimers. Insert into the panel from the side of the nose, after which they are navigated with cloves to the crate or screwed by self-drawing. Not very good option Fastening, since kleimers are made of very thin metal. If the panel is at least a bit in the voltage state, the klyimers will be elected, freeing it.



Tip: For mounting plastic panels to a wooden crate, do not use nails. When clogging, nails can be accidentally hit by a hammer panel, breaking it.

Fastening on a wooden crate

We will analyze step-by-step, how to make a lodge lodge with plastic panels with your own hands.

1. on interior walls Loggia through a dowel is a wooden lamp. To do this, use a beam with a thickness of 20 mm and a width of 50 mm. The perforator is the holes in the wall through the bar, and then the dowels are clogged into them. First, the upper and lower horizontal strips are stuffed. They are derived from vertical bars in the corners, which should be checked using a construction level. Then the horizontal strips are stuck in increasing about 40-50 cm. There are enough four horizontal jumpers to each wall. The shap must be sustained in the same plane. If necessary, produce adjustments to the planks.




Tip: When using a thick bar as a crate, you can additionally insulate the walls, inserting a thin foam (PLATEX) between the planks, or secure the crate to the pre-laid on the walls or combine both options.

2. Locks electric wiringdisposed of spacecraft. Prepared places for fastening and switch (for the convenience of fasteners there can be placed additional wooden bars).

3. The loggia is insulated if necessary. Between the layouts of the crates is laid, mineral wool, extruded polystyrene foam. In the case of Minvata, do not forget about vapor barrier, which it should be closed from above.

4. Plastic profiles are attached to the crate. Initially, it is recommended to fix the outer corners placed around the perimeter of the door or the balcony block. They are trimmed in size and attached to the corner bruus. Next, vertical P-shaped profiles are fixed in the corners of the loggia. To do this, it is best to use selflessness. At each corner, two profiles are mounted at an angle of 90 degrees relative to each other. For fastening profiles on plastic window Plugs are used with a drill. Lastly, all horizontal P-shaped profiles are fixed.

5. Next, the loggia cladding panels. Work begins from the corner, which is located opposite the window. The first panel is cut to the desired size with a hacksaw, after which it is cut off the nose throughout the entire length. This is necessary for the levelation of the curvature of the crate. The panel is inserted at first into the upper and lower profiles, after which the cut side is inserted into the starting profile. Using a level, the panel is aligned vertically. Then it is fixed to all horizontal planks.

6. The next panel is already inserted into the groove of the previous panel. So the whole wall is silent. The last panel is likely to be shorted in width. This is done with a knife. If the windowsill is on the panel path, the panel is cut under it.

7. In the same way, other walls and front side under the window are shed.

8. In places where the switch and socket will be located, a cutout is produced in a plastic of the desired size. To do this, it is better to use a circular nozzle for a drill. Wires are outlined into the cut holes.

9. Tops are made of plastic trimming.

10. All gaps in the corners are filled with silicone sealant, which is smoothed.

11. The installation of ceiling and floor plinths is made.

12. Switch and socket are installed.




Even with a small snarling, anyone will be able to independently perform the trim on his loggia plastic profileBy choosing its coloring from the available range.
