Paul on the balcony with your own hands

And what can you not meet on the balcony of a typical Russian apartment located in an ordinary house built under Soviet times. The Russian man manages to adapt this relatively small, space for any of their needs: from drying of linen and storage of various trash to the organization on the balcony of the recreation area with hammock. However, regardless of how it is used, any balcony in such a house has one unpleasant component – a concrete floor, which is constantly raw and, of course, terribly cold. Walking on such a floor is little pleasant, especially barefoot. There are several options for improving the balcony floor. They are mainly limited to cover with ordinary linoleum or cladding. Also, not a bad decision would be covered the floor with a Swedish coating of plastic. According to its manufacturer, it is resistant to frost and ultraviolet radiation. There is a guarantee – 5 years. Those who do not like frequent harvesters, of course, will please the presence of the property of passing the garbage through the cracks. Subsequently, the space under the coating can be easily cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, or laid a broom by raising the coating completely. The undoubted advantage of this coating, consisting of tiles of 30 * 30 cm, is that it is very easy to mount. Tiles are attached to each other according to the principle of puzzle or children’s designer “Lego”. So, if at hand there is a kiyanka made of rubber and saw for curly cutting, then even a child to cope with the installation of this coating. Before laying the coating, it is necessary to carry out a small preparatory work. Surely there are all sorts of cracks and dents on the concrete floor of the balcony. Cases are not rare when moss and other vegetation sprouts in these cracks. All these copies of the Russian flora must be carefully removed with a hard brush made of metal. Then the seams are well cleaned from garbage and crumbs (preferably with a vacuum cleaner), moistened and leveled with a spatula. Large dents prepared in this way are concreted by any means available at hand. For example, a tile solution. Small cracks can be covered with putty. Everything, the floor is ready to lay the coating. Paul laying is as follows. 1. Plastic coating fragments are fastened with paws mounted in holes. Two sides of the tiles – with paws, the remaining two – with holes. 2. The work is moving vividly, enough 4 powerful strokes with rubber clay: just so many paws on the tile edges. 3. If you attach the tile incorrectly, then you can’t cope without a kiyanka. 4. If in the process you need to tie part of the plates, then it is previously better to connect all the whole. 5. The balcony along the edges has fastening, which interferes a little, because of this, the rows of the plates at the edges have to be cut. 6. It saws a lot more comfortable with a figure saw with a special blade for cutting plastic with blades. 7. The walls and other barriers will reasonably leave a small backlash. In principle, that’s all. The floor is ready! Now you can not only walk without slippers, but also bask on the warm April sun.
