If your balcony is located on the top floor, and you practically do not use it due to the lack of a roof on it, then this article is for you. Here we will tell you how to install a roof on the balcony or loggia of the very top floor.
To begin with, we will determine which roof you need, it can be performed both transparent (from polycarbonate), and not transparent (from Andulin or corrugated iron).
Modern technologies and materials allow you to make a visor and roof of the balcony translucent, to add this, it is enough to use the usual “cellular polycarbonate” – plastic for external work. This material is intended for external work and protects the room from ultraviolet radiation. If your balcony or loggia is cold, then the thickness of the sheet is 8 mm, if you plan to make your loggia (balcony) warm, with the installation of double -glazed windows, then use a 24 mm polycarbonate, this sheet is suitable for a single -chamber double -glazed window, which has the same thickness.
The angle of inclination of the roof is 30 degrees, this is done in order to ensure the ease of snow and rain. This slope is enough and optimal so that the icicles are not formed on the roof, the joint between the main roof and the roof of your loggia (balcony) can be sealed with galvanized steel or polycarbonate.
