Substandard balcony: what saves installers

Repair the apartment must begin balcony. Finish the loggia - it is dusty. It is better to make demolition waste before the apartment is fine finish. Only in the beginning of repair still do not know how can bring builders. Now I tell and how to do, and how altered.

Which design to choose the balcony

"Just do not bath!" - I kept telling my husband. Balconies decorated with clapboard, I do not like. Over time, they darken and become not aesthetic. I watched the images on websites, read articles, studied fashion design portals. And it is determined that the balconies will be plastered and then painted.

But to translate my idea into practice local offices are not in a hurry. Examples of work I have just scared. Judging from the photos, they often make the bunk, she does best. Then I found out that the battens can be covered with opaque white lacquer. We chose a semi-gloss. It retains the texture of wood, but it does look more modern.

Materials: what to look for

Battens of pine, we paid for the first class. It should be no rotten knots, big holes. It should be smooth. But I still doubt that we have made a first-class bunk. Arriving on the scene, I could not every day, and workers led our assistant. See the label to compare the classes need at once, then alter it makes no sense, and return the money - a long and nervous process.

I did not like, and the mechanisms that are installed on the windows and doors. To close the door, you need much clapping, press down the handle. A window at all the big opening spilling out of gear even in the vents mode. But we noticed immediately, because the windows did not open in the winter. And in the summer we were in for another surprise.

Why do we reworked the ceiling

I open the window - and it does not open. The frame rested on the ceiling and does not move. Balcony for six months, the plastic panels on the ceiling sagged. Several times wrote letters to the office to have altered. Three weeks later, the master came.

It turned out, the panels fastened with only two parties, and the beam in the middle do not have, shalturili. We had to shoot the ceiling, make this additional crossbar to attach back panel. At the same time the window twirled, stopped to fall out of the frame. But to close the door, and knock the house down.

How we spent

Repair two balconies cost us 170 thousand rubles. Then we found out that such money could be obtained under the tree frame and glass athermal film. But this was the first experience, and change nothing we could not.
