Today, plastic panels for a balcony is a very popular option for its decoration. Such material is able to qualitatively hide all kinds of cracks and other surface defects. In addition, the PVC from which the panels are made has excellent sound and heat insulation, and you can choose the right model and color in any hardware store. In this article, you will find out why plastic balcony panels are an excellent finishing material.
Plastic panels for a balcony - characteristic and difference from wood
Balcony panels are made of PVC, which is a universal material for finishing work. Due to its unique properties, PVC products can have a different color and are even able to imitate the surface of a tree (by the way, such a coloring is very popular now). In addition to all this, polyvinyl chloride is several times cheaper than wood and metal analogues, and therefore plastic panels for the balcony are available to almost every family.
Plastic panels on the loggia
As you know, a loggia is the first room with which the repair of an apartment begins. It is no secret that the dismantling / installation of windows is a very long and costly task. Each owner strives to ensure that his work or the work of the workers hired by him is of the highest quality. It should not be forgotten that after installing the window you will need skills of filling and plastering the surface. And if you do not want to spend your efforts, professionals can do this for you (of course, for a fee). Fortunately, this only happens with wooden windows. If you plan to install two elements at once - plastic windows and panels, then you will not need unnecessary plastering chores. Unlike similar materials, plastic panels for a balcony well eliminate bumps and can serve as an excellent replacement for tiles and many other finishing elements. And they are installed in about one day (depending on the area of the loggia).
Let's highlight the main advantages of plastic trim:
- PVC is very resistant to moisture, and therefore can be used not only on the balcony, but also in the bathroom or kitchen. Due to its design, PVC can be simultaneously installed on the ceiling and walls, while blending harmoniously into the interior. With plastic, you are not afraid of situations when you are flooded with neighbors from above.
- Simple care. Polyvinyl chloride products are not at all demanding on personal care. In order for the panels to look good, you just need to wipe their surface with an ordinary damp cloth. Unlike wood, such products do not need annual painting and varnishing. And unlike steel counterparts, rust never forms on these plastic panels. If you planned to glaze the balcony with aluminum using plastic trim, in the next 10-15 years you will not even need to redecorate the panels.
- Fire safety. It is also worth noting that this material burns at temperatures from 400 ° C, which positively affects the overall safety of the room.
As you can see, the sliding glazing of the balcony with the use of plastic trim guarantees you a long service life of the products.
