Mid floors balconies always have a roof. But residents of the upper floors of the roof problem over the balcony often have to solve it independently, because high -rise buildings above the upper floors often this element is completely not provided for. Although, if glazing is not provided, then we can say that there is no problem. But if you need to glaze a balcony, then you have to create a roof.
Installation of the roof on the balcony can be carried out by a variety of options. Now the types of designs are distinguished:
Dependent – this roof looks as a whole with structures of aluminum frames. On one side, the roof is based on them, and on the other, it rests on the wall of a residential building. This system is very easy to manufacture and is considered a fairly cheap. But she has certain shortcomings. Among them are the complexity of insulation and the inability to use such a roof for large balconies.
An independent roof on the balcony frames is not based and is quite capable of independently. When creating, supporting farms are used, which consist of metal corners. A crate is attached to these farms, and then a coating is already attached to it, for which it is possible to use absolutely any material.
When choosing materials, you can now consider various options, due to their great variety in modern construction stores. Of course, ceramic tiles in this case are not suitable, since it has a significant weight. But there will be no particular problems with the rest and, if desired, you can create a roof on a balcony that will fit under the facade of the house.
