Loggias and balconies allow you to add a few square meters to the living area, so due to their improvement it is possible to significantly expand the comfort zone for all tenants of the apartment. If you make insulation, as well as glazed loggia, you can organize a winter garden or a beautiful rest room, as well as an additional barrier that will protect the apartment from noise and dust from the street. And this will have a positive impact on the climate inside the premises.
At the moment, many want to glaze the loggia, and this applies to both multi-storey housing stock and private housing. In addition to additional comfort, such a loggia will allow the interior of the apartment to be completed, and the façade has a modern look. The living area of the room is often expanded by demolishing the wall between the loggia and the room. If it is good to warm and glaze the loggia, then the room will be full, but it will not differ in any way from all other premises in the dwelling. In addition, the glazing gives a quality heat and sound insulation not only in the room that is adjacent to the loggia, but in all others.
According to the form of the loggia can be different: semicircular or in the form of the letter P or G. Their glazing requires the use of angular profiles that connect all the elements together. If you want to glaze a loggia that has a straight line shape, then no additional profiles will be required. The area of the balcony can be slightly enlarged during its glazing, that is, to take the entire structure a few centimeters beyond the parapet, while a very wide window sill can be made. Removal can make all work a bit more expensive, however, with the balcony or loggia will get an original appearance. However, it should be noted that such an operation should be done only by specialists, since only an experienced master can determine the condition of the balcony, as well as the distance to which in this case you can take a take-out. After all the necessary measurements have been taken, the master should discuss with the customer the nuances: the type of glazing, the profile, the fittings, the double-glazed windows, the configuration, and additional options. At the same time it will be clear how much it costs to glaze the loggia according to all measurements and needs.
The master takes into account the height of the parapet, the presence of interference for the installation, the possibilities for fastenings, and so on. If the parapet is not strong enough, then it should be pre-strengthened, then it is necessary to install high quality brackets where the window system will be fastened, to connect them for structural rigidity between themselves. After the sealing has been completed, the lower brackets will be fitted with an ebb and sill, and a visor designed to protect the opening from precipitation will be mounted on the upper brackets.
When the glazing is completed, the fastening and load-bearing elements of the structure will be masked by siding. This may be the lining clapboard, plastic or metal profile. Interior decoration can be made using lining, wood, colored plastic, as well as other materials for decoration.
Now you know how to glaze the loggia, you just have to choose, trust the masters or do all the work yourself.
