Glazing of indirect balconies in houses of the P-44 and P44T series

The first construction of the P-44 series house began in 1975. The first buildings had 16 floors, and there were four apartments on one staircase. In 1979, serial construction of houses of the P-44 series began, only their height was already 17 floors. This series of houses turned out to be one of the most successful and widespread. Houses consist of sections that are installed straight or in the shape of the letters “L” and “P”.

Houses of the P-44 (P-44T) series are quite common in Moscow. The peculiarity of these houses is the wide variety of types of balconies, commonly called “Boats”, “Boots” and “Irons”. They are structurally different from ordinary rectangular balconies and have their own nuances when glazing.

Each apartment in the house has one balcony, with the exception of the first floor. In some early buildings, three-room apartments have additional balcony structures. The balcony slabs of the houses in this series have an unusual architectural shape, for which they are popularly called “boots”. Glazing work on such sites requires special skills and knowledge. Our specialists have experience in carrying out work on balconies in houses of the P-44 series and will cope with the glazing task competently and quickly.

Specifics of glazing loggias

The main factor that directly affects the temperature inside the loggia after glazing is its tightness. This is achieved by laying foam blocks on the inside. It is important that the blocks clearly follow all the contours and bends. But the outside of the loggia is covered with sheets of galvanized iron - this will protect the structure from precipitation and all kinds of bad weather. If desired, you can additionally insulate the room from the inside, lay a layer of waterproofing and vapor barrier, and additionally insulate the floor and ceiling.

Loggias in houses of this series have two main forms. Based on their external similarity, they are called “boot” (sometimes “iron”) and “boat”. The “boot” balcony is so named for its strongly protruding central part, and the “boat” balcony is for its protruding side part. These shape features must be taken into account when planning work on glazing p44 “boat” and “boot” balconies, as they create some difficulties and nuances.

Features of glazing a loggia with a boot

Before glazing loggias P44 must be insulated. Most often, foam blocks are used for this purpose, with which the narrowest area is laid out. There is one caveat: if there is a concrete curb, it will be very difficult to hide it. However, this plays a role only from an aesthetic point of view.

Balcony P-44 “Boat”: glazing and finishing

The glazing of the “Boat” balcony is different in that the installation of double-glazed windows is carried out not in one, but in two planes. Due to this geometry, glazing with sliding sashes will be preferable if there is a need for active (that is, not blind) sashes on both sides.

To insulate the “Boat” balcony in house P-44 (P-44T), specialized work is carried out, namely:

• a frame is assembled for the sheathing on the inside of the slab and insulation is laid;
• insulation is carried out on all sides, including the narrow one under the built-in furniture.

The balcony cabinet P-44 “Boat” is usually built into the corner of the larger sash, where there is a support beam. In this case, part of this sash is blocked. Thus, when glazing the Boat balcony, you can save money by not glazing the area for the shelving.

To increase the working area, our customers prefer to glaze the “Boat” balcony with an extension. At the same time, the geometry of the room is preserved.

The interior decoration of the “Boat” balcony is carried out according to generally accepted standards:

• insulation
• leveling and covering the room on all sides

The cost of glazing a “Boat” balcony directly depends on the method (cold, warm), the number of hinged sashes and the condition of the parapet slab.

Balcony P-44 “Boot”: glazing and finishing

The glazing of the “Sapozhok” balcony is carried out in three planes. Due to its non-standard geometry, the glazing of the “Sapozhka” balcony has many options, including connection to the living space and remote glazing.

The most budget option is to glaze the “Sapozhok” with aluminum profile doors with a sliding opening system. In this case, the smaller sashes are left blank, or one of them is not glazed, but left for the installation of a built-in wardrobe.

Warm glazing of the “Sapozhok” balcony can be carried out remotely. In this case, a frame of corners is mounted to the parapet slab to increase strength and distribute the load (PVC windows weigh more than cold aluminum ones).

In some cases, when glazing with plastic or warm aluminum, it may be necessary to strengthen the parapet.

When using “warm” glazing and connecting it to a room, major insulation of the “Sapozhka” balcony is mandatory. Finishing is carried out in various ways depending on the type of glazing chosen and the need to install built-in furniture. The “Boot” balcony cabinet is installed near the middle frame, partially or completely covering it.

The cost of glazing a “Sapozhok” balcony directly depends on the method (cold, warm), the number of hinged sashes and the condition of the parapet slab.

How much does it cost to glaze a balcony p44

As already mentioned, glazing and insulating balconies p44 and p44t is a difficult task that is almost impossible to do on your own. Therefore, the optimal solution would be to turn to a team of professionals. At the same time, the question arises of repairing the balcony p44.

Of course, it is impossible to say the exact amount of all work in advance - this is calculated on an individual basis. The final cost depends on many factors, so it can only be calculated locally for each specific project. Please note that it is better to seek such services from those who have already worked with this type of balconies and loggias and have an understanding of all the possible difficulties in repairing and finishing a p44t balcony. This means it can glaze the balcony well.

Glazing and finishing of balcony P-44 “Iron”

Another non-standard type of balcony in layout is the “Iron”. In this case, glazing is carried out in two planes. The options for glazing the “Iron” balcony are almost limitless and depend on the customer’s needs. The most common type of work on balconies of this type is the attachment of an “Iron” to the living space, or the arrangement of a full-fledged room without an attachment.

Glazing of the “Iron” balcony, depending on the customer’s needs, can be carried out in a “cold” or “warm” way. In the case of using a cold aluminum profile, the sashes will be sliding and will function on both the large and small sides without interference.

When glazing the “Iron” balcony using the “warm” method, you can leave the small sash “blind”, reducing the cost of glazing. The larger side corresponds to the dimensions of a three-leaf window and, as a rule, is made exactly according to its model (for example, the central sash is tilt-and-turn, the side ones are blind).

When setting up a work area on the Utyuzhka balcony, we recommend remote glazing - an additional work surface can serve as a table or shelf for necessary things.

Balcony insulation P-44t “Iron” is recommended for “warm” glazing. If you want to organize an office, you need to insulate not only the parapet slab, but also all the walls. The built-in wardrobe is installed in the corner of the long side.

The cost of glazing a balcony “Iron” directly depends on the method (cold, warm), the number of hinged sashes and the condition of the parapet slab.

Design solutions for finishing the balcony

Let's see how we can use the additional space resulting from insulating the loggia. In practice, you have one more room at your complete disposal, and only you can decide what it will be like.

The warmest transformation - the loggia turns into a cozy little corner for relaxation. Here you can enjoy the silence with a good book or crafts. If necessary, there is enough space for a TV or a small table for a laptop.

A bold design solution suggests expanding the living room space onto the loggia. The wall that previously separated the rooms can be turned into a comfortable table. In this case, the area of ​​the former loggia can be used as a study or hobby room.

By combining two spaces, you will increase the penetration of light from the street, which will be good during the cold season, when there is always not enough light.

It is not difficult to come up with the use of additional warm space, everything is limited only by your flight of imagination. A winter garden, a workshop, an office, even a sports corner - everything is doable.

Don't forget to strengthen the partitions that separate your balcony from the neighboring one. They can be strengthened in various ways: metal sheets, lining, plasterboard, gas blocks. We would advise you to go with the latter option, since the blocks are environmentally friendly, safe and durable.

Insulation of loggias p-44 with penoplex

Installing high-quality glazing alone is not enough to achieve the same temperature on the balcony as in a living room. Therefore, additional insulation with special materials is necessary. Penoplex is an excellent choice.

This is foamed polystyrene foam in the form of sheets up to 10 cm thick. It can even be used when covering the floor, since it does not deform under strong pressure, levels and supports the surface. It is lightweight, has excellent thermal insulation properties and is not fire hazardous.

Foamed polyethylene or penofol is an elastic elastic fabric, available in rolls and sheets. Thin polyethylene foam is usually used for the substrate, and the densest is used as insulation, alone or in combination with other materials.

The most efficient polyethylene foam is covered with foil to reflect heat toward the room. It is important to follow the rules for laying the heat reflector - with the foil side facing the room.

Insulation occurs as follows: foam sheets of the required size are laid out on the walls and secured using assembly adhesive and dowels. All joints between the slabs are sealed with polyurethane foam. After the walls, the ceiling is insulated in the same way, and lastly, the floor. A sheathing of 50mm*50mm timber is laid on the floor, at a distance of 50 cm from each other, and secured with dowels (anchors). Then sheets of the required size must be laid between the timbers and all seams foamed.
