Finishing the loggia inside with your own hands

Finishing the balcony or loggia is as important as living room. You will not only be nice there, but also warm. Heat loss in an adjacent room will be significantly reduced.

Than to finish walls on a loggia inside?

Options for finishing the loggia with your own hands can be very diverse. To this end, plastic panels are often used: inexpensive, practical, modern. You can trim the walls with MDF panels. They are made of pressed cardboard, glued on top with decorative films of cellulose. The minus of the material is the fear of water, so it's mandatory to have a waterproofing device. For finishing the usual or euro lining is suitable. The optimum performance is provided by PVC lining.

Finishing of the loggia with the self-baiting

The principle of lining is identical for all subspecies. Let's consider furnish of a loggia on an example of facing with PVC-vagonkoy.

  1. Facing should begin with cleaning the surface and sealing cracks. It is recommended to cover the walls with an antifungal mixture.
  2. Before you start installing the battens, you need to determine the thermal insulation. If a foil base (isolon, penofol) is used, the lath is mounted over the insulation. If you have chosen expanded polystyrene or mineral wool, the crate is first made, then the cells are laid with insulation.

  3. In this case, we use a foil base. We fix the elements: we use a beam of 20x40 mm and self-tapping screws. Shagreyek-40-50 cm.
  4. It is important to check the horizontal and vertical lines of the installation level. To adjust the irregularities, you can put a piece of plywood or wedge and fix this place with a screwdriver. Recheck the surface again.
  5. The rake near the floor should be retracted from it by 3-5 cm, so that later it would be convenient to fasten the plinth.
  6. Attach the crate to the ceiling, corners, around the window and doorways.
  7. The next panel is inserted into the grooves of the previous one, it is fixed with a screwdriver with a press-washer. The following panels are exactly snapped in the same way.
  8. When you reach the opening, you need to adjust the dimensions of the panel. Cutting in the longitudinal direction becomes a construction knife, in the transverse - with a saw with small teeth.
  9. In the corners, the starting profile is fixed, where PVC-lining is inserted. The algorithm for working with subsequent panels is the same as on the first wall.

We get:

The principle of work with a wooden lining is similar: the crate is made, the laths are fastened one by one onto the clamp, starting from the corner.
