Often the area of the balcony is used by residents as a warehouse of things that are not needed especially, and it is a pity to throw them away. Meanwhile, due to the area of the balcony, you can significantly expand the indoor space. In addition, this is a chance to get rid of many old things. Small -sized apartments by joining the area of the balcony to the room are able to find a different type, the space of the room will expand both actually and visually, and you can expand with maximum return the entire area of the apartment. Almaznaya-Rezka-I-Sverlenie is popular now, many people order diamond cutting there.
A stumbling block in the implementation of such a redevelopment is not even the technical side of the issue. The Housing Code does not welcome such redevelopment. The thing is that during the construction of an apartment building, the indicators of the consumed heat and the effect of heat transfer are calculated. In addition, in projects of houses, the balcony is considered a cold (not heated) territory. If the residents of one apartment combine their balcony with a room and spend heating on the balcony, the total heat consumption in the heating period will not change. If the rest of the tenants want to do the same thing – in winter they will elementarily freeze, the heating system will not cope with the increased load.
And yet, there is a way out. You just need to use sliding glass doors between the balcony and the room. Visually, they will expand the space. If necessary, in the warm season, they can be kept open, in a cool time you can equip the balcony with air heaters. When carrying out work on combining a balcony with a room, the balcony is required.
