Before glazing the balcony, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. Conduct an inspection of all the elements that make up the design. You need to turn to the state of the fence of the balcony. It is not always able to withstand the loads that are associated with the installation of double -glazed windows. The complication of glazing can be associated with the dilapidation of fasteners, various damage and structural features. It is also necessary to take into account the materials from which the construction is made.
To strengthen the parapet, you can use metal corners. They are welded to the corner joints of the structure. If the fence of the balcony has a dilapidated state, it must be completely updated. Create a welded structure that encircles the old parapet and is attached to the outer wall of the building. The constructed design will take over the load of the glazing system.
To strengthen the balcony structure, foam concrete blocks are also used. This material not only enhances the structure, but also significantly improves its thermal insulation. When strengthening the parapet with foam concrete blocks, it is necessary to reinforce. Then the resulting structure is ennobled by siding or galvanized sheet. This will protect the space of the balcony from the effects of the atmosphere. Before glazing the balcony, all the cracks and voids fill with mounting foam.
