If you want to make the insulation and lining balconies with their hands, then you need to consider a lot of nuances: to determine the type of material to properly prepare the walls, as well as to carry out all stages of work in accordance with the instructions.

In some cases, it is even better, for example, if the area of ​​the room is quite large, becausethis stuff is much cheaper.

Whichever skin with your hands you have chosen, you will be in the photo and video in the article.

With them, as well as instructions, you can make finishing balconies lining indistinguishable from a professional job.

choice of material

When choosing a bunk should pay attention to two main factors: the type of wood and its class.

to perform finishing indoors, including loggias and balconies, suitable many kinds of trees: you can use ash or oak, cedar, pine, alder and other species.

most expensive will cost lining of oak and cedar, while the cheapest is made of pine.

Do not think that cheap pine paneling with their hands will look unattractive if material treatment was correct and in its manufacture complied with all of the technology, its internal and external properties will meet all standards.

See what it looks like wood clapboard siding of different kinds of wood, you can in the photo.

According classes lining is divided as follows: possiblefind premium material, A, B and C.

Premium (sometimes called Extra) - the highest class, and the linings of this type would be the most quality of all the others.It features uniform surface, the absence of cracks and knots.

The only negative - the price, asit battens on the highest.Sheathing "A" class also looks quite presentable, but will have a few knots for every 1500 meters of boards.

Class "B" will be different from the previous two even look (you can compare them on the photo).Such linings often contains cracks, resin pockets and irregularities.

Finally, finish the "C" class is only suitable for technical facilities, it has a non-uniform surface, a plurality of knots, the through-holes and other damage.

To trim balconies fit two first-class material, and if after finishing you plan to cover a wall with paint, it can also be seen battens class "B".

addition to lining, loggia sheathe the walls can be a plastic PVC panels.In contrast to the lining, the panels are manufactured identically and special handling when producing them is not necessary.

This material looks less attractive, but it has its advantages: it will cost you less than batten, and the service life is not inferior to her, this material retains heat well, so you can turn a loggia into extra living space.

Furnish of balconies loggias PVC lining and panels can only be carried out on the prepared surface, therefore, after the selection of the material, you need to prepare the walls for cover.

With training, as well as with the other phases of work, you can help manage photos and video with detailed step by step instructions.

Surface preparation

first step is to remove from the surface of the walls of the old paint if it was, as well as plaster.

After this vote the surface of the walls - if they have a crack, before they close up, extend their grinder, then you need to treat them with a special solution.

walls and the ceiling to be treated against fungus composition - this will serve as protection from wood from decay and parasites attacks and prolong its service life.

next step after the cleaning and treatment of walls - insulation.With it, you also quite cope with their own hands.

Make loggia warming in two ways: with foil material basis (izolona, ​​penofolom etc.) and mineral wool or polystyrene foam.

on what kind of insulation you choose depends on the type of crates, which will be set.

loggia Winterizing a PVC panel made similarly - mineral wool, Izola and other suitable materials, so a separate paint process for this material does not make sense.

In the first case, first performed warming, and after laying the material on top of him mounted crate.

In the second case, on the contrary - you must first install the crate, and then put the resulting cell insulation.

first method is easier, and you may well be able to repeat it on their photos and videos, and the second requires more detailed instructions.

Laying insulation and installation of lining

to create battens you will need wooden beam size 40x40 / 50x50 mm.Or metal profile (but it is more expensive).

If loggias lining is horizontal or diagonal, the crate should be installed vertically and make a vertical trim, require horizontal mounting.

first stage equipment crates for insulation installation will corner posts.To do this, align the vertical bars and attach them to the wall with anchor bolts.

After their high-quality fixation rack must be connected to the longitudinal beams, which must be installed no closer than two feet from each other.

Use the following diagram of the installation of bars: the first is mounted on the knee, the second - at the level of the hips, the third - at shoulder level.What it looks like, look at the photos.

In this setting, a crate will be located in places that are exposed to the greatest pressure, and will be more durable.

This is especially important if you finish the loggia plastic panels produced sincethey are more fragile, however, and a wooden bunk, this method will give a particular strength.

After installing the battens should be directly warming: the selected material is placed in the cell, resulting after connecting bars and struts.

necessary to fix the heater using adhesive foam and covered the top of his film for vapor barrier to protect the material from moisture.

If you have not engaged in insulation of walls, then take a look, as is done in photo and video before you start to work.

Once warming is finished, the procedure finishes begins.Installation of lining the walls - a fairly simple procedure, however, read the instructions on the photo will not be superfluous.

Skinning of walls begins from any angle loggia.lining panels should be installed clear vertically, checking each canvas with the help of the level.

After you install the first panel and checked the level, exactly how much it costs, you need to connect it tightly with the batten bars.

Do this either by using nails, are installed in the slot, or clamps.Choosing fixing nails, there is a risk that the locks be damaged, especially if you are doing it for the first time with their own hands.

to establish the panel lining is applied next, checked the correctness of its position through a level, and then it is fixed.Thus it made all plating facilities.

The final stage of work - is necessary to cover the corners with special linings and install trim and window sills.

installation PVC panels are not much more difficult.For proper installation is necessary to make a wooden frame for the construction of fixation, which is established in a similar crate for a wooden lining.

After its creation, strengthen PVC panels it is quite simple - use this staple gun and staples 10 mm.

First set start profiles on all the frame perimeter and in the design of the corners.

addition stapler, attach PVC panels can be and with the help of screws and screwdriver.To work with your own hands can be amiss, even an ordinary screwdriver, but in this case the process is time-consuming.

more detailed instructions installing PVC panels you can see in the video and photos.

Each lever wall needs to be painted.Cover the walls can be a protective varnish, or if you choose to bunk type "B", you need to paint it with paint to improve the appearance.

Paint can and a paint - then the material gleams, but it is better to cover a bunk natural wood paint to accentuate the brightness of the wood.

paint is applied by roller or broad brush, and after drying it is possible to varnish to protect the surface and shine.

If paneling made of PVC panels, then paint them is not necessary, and no additional processing is not necessary for them.

As you can see, clapboard siding or PVC panels is quite simple to perform with their hands case.

main thing to treat and insulate the surface and produce a quality installation.

If you do it yourself, it is best to use the photos and video at every stage of the work - then you get a warm, cozy and beautiful loggia, which will not need repair more than one year.
