Variants of how you can quickly carry out the desired repair work, a lot. One of the most popular ways is finishing yourself with a loggia lining .

What kind of lining is better for a loggia?

The cost of finishing and the general appearance of the room is influenced by the choice of material. Plastic is cheaper, it is easier to work with and easier to dismantle if necessary. But the tree is stronger, more environmentally friendly, it can be turned into a screw or a small nail. In the sun it does not emit various unpleasant volatile substances. If desired, the owner will quickly repaint the surface of the walls in any chosen color or open with varnish. But in this case it will be necessary to impregnate the lining that is installed on the loggia, which will close the pores and prevent the tree from absorbing moisture, which will significantly extend the life of this coating. In this case, we preferred to use stylish wooden panels.
