What you need to do to rebuild the loggia under the winter garden
The magic transformation of a loggia or balcony into a conservatory should start with some important technical issues. This organization:
• glazing of the loggia
• heating and warming
• lighting.
All these organizational events will be aimed at the logical achievement of the goal - a warm and cozy extra room. Glazing of the loggia is the key task of warming. To create a winter garden, you must choose the type of glazing, which has the best thermal insulation properties. A good option for glazing is the installation of double-glazed windows on the loggia. Plastic windows will protect the loggia not only from rain or excess moisture, but also create a favorable microclimate for indoor plants. Double-glazed windows on the loggia are selected double or triple and necessarily from the manufacturer of plastic windows.
Heating and warming the loggia yourself does not involve the installation and installation of water heating, because water heating is the best option for mini-gardens and greenhouses for private houses. The heat from water heating in this case is evenly distributed in the room of the loggia. The installation of batteries is best set along the glazing, the thermal barrier from the heat source will cut off the cold air streams. For loggias, there is a possibility of heating using electric fireplaces, but it will be quite expensive.
Lighting loggia provides the possibility of using natural light in a successful combination with lamps. Therefore, the lighting of the loggia can be carried out in the following stages:
• Output the wiring from the adjacent room
• to install wiring on the loggia
• determine the location, number and purpose of fixtures
• Connect the luminaires.
For general illumination of the loggia, it is recommended to use built-in diffused light fixtures. Old-fashioned daylight lamps of dead color have long been a thing of the past, and for indoor plants they are unlikely to be useful. Therefore, it is better to create local lighting zones with a light stream directed from the top down. Plants and flowers of the winter garden are often placed on special shelves or shelves, so any decorative illumination from powerful lamps or lamps will look good.
Electrical wiring on the loggia can be hidden or open type. It is safer to make a hidden wiring with the laying of wires in metal hoses or insulating boxes.
After the organizational arrangements, it is necessary to determine the thermal insulation materials. For insulation it is recommended to choose a solid insulation: polystyrene or styrofoam URSA and Rockwool.
How to make a loggia insulation
Before the beginning of "warming" works mercilessly throw out from the loggia all the interfering items, which for years lay and occupied a place.
The process of warming the loggia will consist in laying the heat insulator on walls, ceiling and floor with subsequent sealing of joints and slots. The design of loggias has in most cases a long and narrow room. The ideal variant of a loggia is a concrete or brick adjacent to the room wall and parapet. But in most cases, these are thin partitions and a steel grille. Therefore it is necessary to create a brick wall or to insulate an existing wall. Insulate ceiling, walls and floor. Initially, the thermal insulation is laid.
Strict rules and advice on how to insulate the loggia does not exist. If you want the winter garden to be comfortable, then you will have to lay the heat insulator in several layers.
The heat insulator is laid on all surfaces bordering directly with the street or neighboring balconies or loggias. The heater is fixed to a special glue or plastic dowels. Sheets of foam or polystyrene foam, which has a low moisture absorption coefficient, are mounted on the ceiling and walls in a runaway.
The next stage of insulation is laying the vapor barrier.
The vapor barrier is placed on the heater with a shiny side outward. A continuous layer of vapor barrier insulation at the joints is glued with a special foil tape. After installation, all joints of joints are treated with mounting foam.
How to properly produce glazing and insulation of the loggia will help you video.
After glazing and warming of the loggia, it is necessary to finish it. It is recommended to make interior decoration with plastic panels or lining. The warming of the loggia and its subsequent decoration for this guy is a couple of trifles. If you want to insulate the loggia yourself and make its subsequent finish, this video is for you.
The Magic Winter Garden
Redoing the loggia under the winter garden, it's time to think about the flowers and plants that will be in it. To create your winter garden you need a minimum air temperature of about 15 degrees in winter, additional lighting and convenient racks or racks for the arrangement of flowers and plants.
The simplest version of the winter garden with their own hands can be a mini garden without additional decor. The center of the composition should be one large plant. It could be a palm tree, a diffenbachia, a monster or a dracaena.
The plant is located in a voluminous flower pot on the floor, near which you can create any composition of plants in pots smaller in size. The only condition that must be observed is that plants should not block access to the light of the neighboring. Plants and flowers, located in suspended flowerpots or baskets, are not bad.
Minimalistic floral compositions properly emphasize the frosty patterns on the glass and your wonderful winter garden, created with love with your own hands.
And, finally, the faint-hearted and spiteful envious persons, we ask you not to watch the video ... so that the flowers do not wither.
