material purchase and preparation tool

Sheathing better to produce the board of the deciduous woods - pine paneling at elevated temperatures may produce resin.Before buying you need to calculate the area you plan to sheathe, multiply this value by a factor of 1.3 - stock required to fit.Choose the length of lining so as to remain as small as possible cuttings.Grades board, too, is different, Class A is significantly different for as low grades B and C, but it is better treated and does not require polishing.You can save by buying a bunk grade B and grind it yourself after finishing walls.

addition cladding boards you will need:

• bar 50x40 mm slides on the floor and ceiling;
• brackets for drywall to attach rails to the wall, while aligning them;
• edged board 20 mm for sexual lag;
• floorboard or plywood;
• hydraulic and vapor barrier film;
• mineral insulation boards or polystyrene;
• foam;
• Area to install lag;
• screws for wood and 3,5h75 3,5h35 mm mm;
• dowel-nails for fastening clips and brackets to the concrete;
• finishing nails 35 mm for fixing lining.

necessary tools to work:

Preparations

Before lining the balcony need to prepare: clean window slopes, old inner liner, clean the walls peeling paint.If the balcony is located on the north side, especially in areas with a humid climate, you can cover the walls with antiseptic and concrete fencing to protect against mold and mildew.If

balcony railing made of sheet metal, it is necessary to erect a barrier of foam blocks into one unit thick.Blocks are placed on a cement-sand mortar, using a level.After drying the solution is adjusted frames or windows.

Before lining glazed balcony need to conduct an audit of glass or frames.In the presence of wooden elements with signs of rot must be replaced or treated with an antiseptic, or fungus will soon spread to the battens.Stekolpakety explore, all the cracks between the wall and carefully zapenit.

Installation guides and warming

stuffed battens need to guide - pine sticks 50x40 mm.If the sheathing board is positioned vertically - rails are fixed horizontally, and vice versa.The distance between the guide should provide ease of laying insulation boards.If you are using for this purpose polystyrene, the distance should be equal to the width of a sheet of insulation.When using the mineral insulation is better to reduce it to 0.5 cm - mats, stacked with some compression, will be held without any additional fasteners.If the sheathing is no insulation, the distance can be done anytime, but more than 60 cm.

begin installation guides need to mount brackets for plasterboard at a desired distance from each other.

Install lower guide rail, attach it to the bracket.

With the help of the auxiliary bar and the level set in the same way the upper bar.Average exhibit guides, aligning them for the support bar.

After all the guides on the wall in the intervals between them are laid polystyrene plates, folded over the free ends of the brackets are thoroughly zapenivayut gaps with foam.After drying the foam undercut mounting knife.

necessary to insulate all exterior walls bordering the street, as well as ceiling and floor when the balcony on the top and bottom are not insulated.If you use mineral insulation, ability to absorb water, it is necessary to lay a waterproof film - it does not allow moisture to penetrate from the street in a layer of insulation.Above the insulation is necessary to lay a vapor barrier to protect the insulation from moisture vapor from inside the premises.

rails on the ceiling is more convenient to mount after cladding, placing them on the balcony length.The last bars are fixed close to the skin, and the intermediate - at a distance, providing the convenience of laying insulation.

Flooring on the balcony of the lining

Before the floor covering must be installed wooden logs of 20 mm boards.The width of the board should be chosen for the planned floor height, usually only 10 cm. Boards put on end, and attach them to the floor with a corner.To fix the bracket to the concrete using dowel-nail to the board - roasted black screws on wood 3,5h35 mm.

begin to put logs, making the frame on the floor balcony perimeter indented 2-3 cm from the skin.Inside the frame put the cross-lag with a pitch equal to the width of the insulation board.Fix them to the floor and the frame using the corner.

gaps and gaps sealed with foam, and put insulation between the joists and the insulation film, securing its staple gun.

for finished floor can be used sexual decking or waterproof plywood, covering it then any floor finish.

wall and ceiling paneling

better start lining from the awkward angle - if you leave this angle lastly, to get close to it will be even harder.The first board is required to put on the plumb line - if its skew, then have to align the wall.Keep in mind that Lining ventilation slot located on the underside of the board, it is necessary to circulate air inside the casing.

Lining is fastened to the guide using finishing nails - small with a reduced cap.Nails hammer into a groove or a thorn in the board, finishing off with the help of dobojnika flush with the wood.They must be score at an angle of about 45 degrees.The first board is attached to all the guides are as follows - to be sure the top and bottom, and to intermediate - through a staggered.

Each subsequent board give birth to a thorn in the groove, gently rap hammer through brusochek not to get dents, then nailed with finishing nails, as well as the first board.

By headliner start after finishing walls.Expose the guides using a level, put a heater if necessary zapenivayut.Headlining is best done across the balcony, this simple technique will enable visually expand it.

finishing and processing

After plating perform finishing: install baseboards, corners, if necessary, as well as the slopes on the windows.They can also be performed from the lining or plasterboard.You can order plastic slopes in the company, which specializes in the installation of windows.

For protection from sunlight and moisture and to preserve the color of the original wood is treated with special protective structures for interior wood or acrylic water-based varnish.Before coating linings, if necessary, sanded and rubbed with dust.The coating is applied in two or three layers.
