Kitchen combined with a balcony (42 photos), how to combine a kitchen room with a loggia: instructions, photo and video lessons, price

Kitchens in small-sized city apartments do not please their owners. And the point here is not that it is difficult to fit in this room and it is very inconvenient to prepare food, but that it is most difficult to install furniture and household appliances. Therefore, the balcony adjacent to the kitchen, in terms of the interest in increasing the usable area, is a very interesting option.

So you can combine the kitchen with a balcony - the original version

If we compare this option for changing the space with others, then it should be noted a lighter and more economical approach. It is no secret that in the process of redevelopment, for example, combining a bathroom or combining a kitchen and a neighboring rooms, you have to demolish the partition, which takes a lot of time, besides, this process is very laborious. Let's add here the work associated with the installation of new electrical wiring.

But the expansion of the kitchen due to the balcony space carries simpler operations:

• Dismantling of glazing and doorway;
• Dismantling the window sill;
• Transferring the heating radiator;
• Insulation of the balcony itself;
• Heating organization.

All, as you can see, in this case there are not so many complicated works. In addition, all this can be done with your own hands, without calling specialists who will have to pay.

Balcony combined with kitchen - expanded space

Attention! When dismantling a window sill, it is necessary to pay attention to the following fact - not in all typical apartments it is possible to dismantle it. This can lead to the collapse of the supporting structures, therefore it is recommended to consult with a specialist whether dismantling can be carried out or not.

How to correctly align

Starting to combine the balcony with the kitchen, it is first of all necessary to decide what the balcony will be and what the kitchen will be. For many, this may seem like an incorrect question, but we insist on solving this problem right away. Why?

• Firstly, the layout of the combined space will depend on this.
• Secondly, the complexity of the ongoing processes.
• Thirdly, the design of the new premises will be taken as a basis precisely due to the correct placement of accents.

Balcony as a work area

For example, we decided to combine the kitchen with the balcony in such a way that all household appliances and some of the furniture were taken out onto the balcony, and the kitchen would serve as a dining room. What is the complexity of this redevelopment?

Cooking stove installed on the balcony

You will need to remove the hob and sink from the kitchen. There are usually no problems with washing. Here you just have to carry out installation work regarding the removal of the hot and cold water and sewer connection points. But with the stove you will have to tinker.

If there is gas in your apartment, then it is not a fact that you will be allowed this transfer. Independent actions can lead to the creation of unfavorable, one might even say, dangerous conditions. Therefore, wait until you get permission.

Balcony like dining room

In the event that the balcony is used as a dining room (photo below), then the issues related to all kinds of installation work are sharply reduced. The only thing that you need to pay special attention to is design and insulation. Is this option convenient, isn't it better to use the first one?

Dining area on the balcony

The question is really serious, because combining a balcony and a kitchen is a solution to the problem of a small kitchen space. But in this case it is partially solved. That is, the kitchen with its small spatial volume remains the same, practically unchanged. Here all the same appliances and almost all the furniture.

The only thing is the couch, a dining table and a couple of stools are transferred. Sometimes they carry the refrigerator. Everything else remains in the kitchen. The space has partially expanded, but only partially.

Insulation and heating of the balcony

In addition to the design of the kitchen, combined with a balcony must be insulated. The technologies used for this process require the availability of modern types of thermal insulation materials. You should not avoid spending money and use simple and cheap insulation. After all, this concerns the comfort inside the new room.

Although today on the building materials market you can find heaters that are in an optimal price-quality ratio. Therefore, for many, this process will not be burdensome in terms of monetary costs.

Electric convector - ready-made heating device

Remember! It is prohibited to take out the heating device (radiator) to the balcony. This usually leads to a deterioration in the functioning of the entire heating system of the house. In any case, this riser.

Therefore:

• It is necessary to install plastic windows with at least three cameras.
• Double-glazed windows are required.
• Mandatory insulation of all elements of the balcony room: floor, ceiling and walls. Note the parapet as the thinnest structural element. It is necessary to insulate it first of all.
• If the neighbors on top of the balcony also insulated, then the ceiling can not be touched.

But with heating, you can do two things:

1. Install the "warm floor" system.
2. Install a simple oil cooler or other electrical heater.

Here the decision is only yours. Everything will depend on what is just beneficial to you.
