How to bypass the ban on this manipulation? – Read on our website! With general legal rules
French windows are a tool in a dispute with inspectors!
When attaching a loggia or balcony to a living space, some install between them some easily dismountable or sliding structure. For example, French windows. Thus, formally, the balcony or loggia remains a separate area from the apartment.
But this trick does not mislead anyone, because... the main reasons for refusal (weakening of the building structure; deterioration of conditions for saving people in case of fire; increase in the volume of heated premises) remain in force.
Moreover, dismantling the wall (regardless of whether it is connected with the addition of a balcony or not) itself requires permission from the Moscow Housing Inspectorate.
How to collect the necessary documents to approve the combination of a balcony or loggia with a room
The addition of a loggia increased the area of the hall
Here's what you need to do if you want to get permission to combine a balcony or loggia with a room:
1. Request to the BTI to issue you a registration certificate for your apartment. Full list Moscow territorial BTIs can be found on the website. You can also download sample applications, etc. there. 2. Draw up a project for the reconstruction of an apartment with the addition of a loggia or balcony. To develop such a project, you must contact a construction and design organization that has a license for this type of activity.“I came to the BTI to get documents for the apartment, and when I said that I was going to do renovations with redevelopment, they offered me to sign an agreement for design work with one company. The cost of this company’s service was 40% higher than the market average. What to do? In my opinion, this is outright impudence!” complains someone “Nikolai from the Moscow Region” on the forum of the website http:///www.stroysam.ru.
How to do what? You should be happy! As they say in Odessa, “if they talk to you, it means they respect you!” You are “put on a conveyor belt”: you will pay more for pieces of paper stained with tangled lines, but your questions will be resolved!
3. Coordinate the reconstruction project with the organization that designed your home project.“What should we do if the design organization that developed the design of our house ceased to exist? – T.A. Sagalchuk, a resident of Moscow, addresses the editors of our website. “Who should we coordinate the redevelopment with then?”
Typical balcony connection diagram
Let's answer this: we were unable to find precedents on this issue. Citizens generally rarely seek permission to reconstruct their apartments from the Moscow Housing Inspectorate, preferring to legalize the alterations they have made after the fact, through the courts.
Theoretically, in the absence of a design organization, you should contact the State Autonomous Institution of the City of Moscow "Moscow State Expertise" (Second Brestskaya Street, 8) with a request to create an expert commission to determine the admissibility of redevelopment of your home in accordance with the presented project.
4. In case of a positive assessment of the project you presented, you should then agree on changes in the layout of your apartment in the following authorities:- Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for Moscow (Tverskaya St., 8/2; tel. 624-89-53) or district divisions of the Main Directorate
- SES (district list on the website)
- Management company for your home
- Organizations supplying resources to your home (gas workers, energy workers, etc.)
Any of the listed authorities may require additional approvals from you. For example, if you live in a house of historical value, you will need approval from the Department cultural heritage Moscow (Pyatnitskaya St., 19).
French windows are convenient and practical
In addition, you will need the written consent of the people who live in the apartment that you want to reconstruct by adding a balcony or loggia, and all residents of your house (any changes to the facade require the general consent of the residents of your house).
With these documents you can go to the Moscow Housing Inspectorate. You need to have with you:
- Application for permission to redevelop your apartment;
- Title documents for the apartment or their notarized copies (certificate of ownership of the specified apartment or an agreement if you are renting an apartment or renting it under a social tenancy agreement. In the latter case, you will also need permission to carry out the alterations you have planned from the landlord or balance holder);
- Single housing document(issued by the Unified Information and Settlement Center of your area within 24 hours).
“I found on the Internet a list of documents that need to be collected for permission to combine a loggia and a room. I was amazed at the length of this list. I found an organization on Google that undertakes to do the approval for me.
It was written that this company employs experienced specialists who previously worked in government agencies, that they have everything covered and paid for everything, and all the necessary permits will appear in just 15 days, while for an “unprepared person” it will take a year and a half to obtain them, writes on the Stroysam website. Vera Mikhailovna Izmailova from South Butovo. “But for more than four months they have been leading us by the nose, citing the fact that “we need to pay extra to the person at the SES,” or that “the head of the designers’ bureau is sick.” What should I do?”
We answer: terminate all relations with this organization. Prepare all the documents yourself. It would be good if “experienced specialists” really worked in government agencies, and are not yesterday’s students looking for a chance to “shoe suckers.” By doing everything yourself, you will at least regain control of how things are going. Agree, it’s scary to take on redevelopment and pour decent money into this business, not knowing what “pitfalls” your “walkers” have imposed, moving through the authorities where they “have everything covered.”
Please note that in case of any nuances, the legality of the redevelopment will have to be proven in court, and then references to the fact that “I have an agreement with an organization that has undertaken to sign all the approvals” will be unconvincing. You crush the wall with a hammer drill, you are responsible for everything, and not some third party!
There should be a lot of happiness. And adding a balcony increases its number
5. After completing the redevelopment, you must invite the commission of the Moscow Housing Inspectorate, which will draw up a report on the work done. Based on this act, you must contact the BTI and the district branch of the Office of the Federal State Registration Service in Moscow, receive a new registration certificate for your apartment and a new Certificate of Ownership of the apartment. This is necessary because The living space is changing, and from now on you will pay more for your home than before.Sanctions for unauthorized connection of a balcony or loggia to a residential premises
French windows - a practical home decoration
In the Russian Federation there is no body authorized to control the redevelopment that you carry out inside your home. You can be held accountable only by a court decision and only on the basis of a complaint from a physical or legal entity, which suffered damage as a result of the redevelopment you carried out.
For example, if your neighbor below has a cracked ceiling or his apartment will be flooded along the section of the wall that you demolished. Or if your Management Company will come to the conclusion that the alterations you made disfigure the façade of the building, reducing its suitability for habitation.
Most likely, the court will oblige you to compensate for the damage suffered by the plaintiff, impose a fine (usually 2,500 rubles) and require you to eliminate the changes that you illegally made in your apartment. Simply put, it will make it necessary to restore façade wall and so on.
“I am a veteran of the civil service,” Roza Matveevna K. writes on the Stroysam forum. “Two years ago I retired. I bought an apartment in a Stalinist high-rise building. I want to combine a balcony with housing. I went through all the authorities and signed all the permits.
The only thing is that the residents do not agree to change the facade of the house. I offered money - they didn’t take it. What means are there to influence irresponsible citizens?”
Dear Rosa Matveevna! Spit your saliva on this idea! If you offered money and they still didn’t sign for you, it means that irresponsible citizens will not let you live in this house. Apparently they weren’t pleased with something! And if you make any alterations, you will be sued every time.
So it’s better to sell the apartment before you make it illiquid with your illegal alterations, and use this money to order a cottage near Penza that is attractive to you. You can deservedly relax there too!
Control over court decisions is usually entrusted to the bailiff service. And if you do not fulfill the duties prescribed to you within the established time frame, then you will be fined again, and the bailiff service will hire one or another at your expense construction company to eliminate the alterations you have made. Decide whether you need it or not.
And further. In the secondary housing market, it is very difficult to sell an apartment in which illegal redevelopment has been carried out. For all these reasons, homeowners and tenants who have made illegal alterations to their homes, as a rule, try to legalize them through the court as quickly as possible.
All kinds of redevelopments kitchen space pursue one goal - to increase the size of the kitchen in order to create more comfortable conditions stay indoors. One of the frequently used expansion options is connecting a balcony to a kitchen or loggia. But this is only possible if the kitchen and loggia (balcony) are adjacent rooms that are connected by a door. No other options are possible. In this article we will look at the basic rules regarding combining a loggia with a kitchen.
A loggia is a niche in a building apartment building, where there are side walls, a powerful floor and ceiling. It is separated from the street by a reinforced concrete parapet. In fact, it's practically finished room, which must be insulated and brought into proper shape, corresponding to the design of a full-fledged room.
A balcony differs from a loggia in that it is just a slab protruding from the wall of a building, framed metal fencing. Making a room out of it is many times more difficult than making a loggia. In this case, you will have to think through not only insulation methods, but also options for creating fences in the form of partitions that will form walls new room. In addition, this merger option will require a large investment of money.
First of all, you need to decide how the common space will be formed. Everyone approaches this moment differently: some endure work area to the loggia, and in the kitchen they organize a dining area, others leave everything in its place, guided by the principle: the closer to the wiring utility networks, all the better. This means that the sewerage and water supply in the kitchen should be short. Elongation, especially sewer system, leads to incorrect discharge of wastewater from the sink. But this is a fixable matter; the main thing is to set the pipe slope correctly.
Creating a full-fledged room from a loggia begins with insulating the existing space. The first stage of thermal insulation is the installation of the glazing structure. Essentially, this is an ordinary window made of plastic or wood. It is not recommended to install a window made of wood on the loggia attached to the kitchen. aluminum profile. The metal has high thermal conductivity, as a result outside temperature will penetrate into the new premises.

Please also pay attention to starting materials, from which the window for the loggia is made.
- The double-glazed window must be double-chamber.
- The plastic profile must be five-chamber.
- It is better to make a wooden window from veneer - thin boards glued together in different directions. It is the multidirectionality that guarantees the strength of the material.
If the neighbors living on the floor above have already added a loggia to the kitchen and insulated the floor, then there is no need to insulate your ceiling. If this does not happen, then the ceiling is insulated according to different technologies. Traditionally it is stuffed with wooden slats with a cross section of 50x50 millimeters at a distance corresponding to the width of the insulation used. Thus, the insulation must enter the frame on the ceiling close to its elements. As thermal insulation material polystyrene foam boards, mineral wool in mats, and so on are used.
Attention! Porous materials, such as mineral wool, must be protected from moisture. To do this, a vapor barrier membrane is placed on top of the frame.
Walls and floors are insulated in the same way. True, they are used as insulation for the latter. bulk materials, for example, expanded clay of fine or medium fraction. But there is also a simple way to insulate. For this you will need a material such as Penoplex. Essentially, these are the same polystyrene foam boards that are connected to each other with a tongue-and-groove lock. They are attached to an insulated surface adhesive composition or special plastic dowels mushroom-shaped in the calculation: two dowels per slab.
Installation of penoplex on the loggia floor
Penoplex is a dense material, therefore it has a certain degree of moisture resistance. The manufacturer produces foil plates, the thermal conductivity of which is even lower. In addition, the insulation must be laid with foil inside the room to reflect thermal energy. Walls, floors, and ceilings are finished with this material. If you attach a painting net to it, you can apply plaster or putty to the surface.

The floor is covered with Penoplex waterproofing film, and a screed is poured on top. Thus, you get a durable and warm floor that can be covered with ceramic tiles or lay laminate or linoleum.
Therefore, when approaching the combination of a kitchen and a loggia, you need to understand that this process is quite expensive. But this is incomparable to purchasing additional room. New loggia after the repair work will be a full-fledged room in the apartment.
Don't forget about heating. The best option– take the radiator out onto the loggia. But everyone approaches this engineering system in their own way: some install heated floors, others install an oil radiator.
As practice shows, the wall in apartment buildings, separating the kitchen and the loggia, is not load-bearing. Therefore, after dismantling the window and door, you can demolish the dividing parapet or beat it up by making a bar counter or a small table covered with a tabletop. But if there is no need for this, then the parapet is simply demolished, freeing up the kitchen space.
Redevelopment rules
Combining a loggia and a kitchen is a complete redevelopment of the apartment, for the implementation of which you must obtain permission. Otherwise, it will not be possible to sell or donate an apartment in which independent redevelopment has been carried out.
After all the repair work has been carried out, the redevelopment must be legalized. To do this, a representative of the BTI is called, who makes changes to the floor plan of the apartment, indicating the new location of the rooms.
Thus, joining a loggia to the kitchen is not only a renovation process, but also an event that affects legal and legal aspect. In addition, you will have to deal with the city’s architects, because it is their organization that must create the apartment reconstruction project. And you will have to pay for this project. Then the project is approved by representatives of the fire department and SES, and then by the housing inspection, where the required permission to combine the two premises is issued.
Even glazing a loggia requires special permission, if glazing was not originally included in the house design.
We have a one-room apartment of 36 sq. m. m. Kitchen, size 12 sq. m. with access to the loggia, we use it as a kitchen - room. If you have a similar situation, feel free to take the ideas of this option for combining a loggia with a kitchen. I was faced with the task of updating the kitchen. But, besides this, I realized that it was possible to attach a seven-meter loggia to it. The main focus of this reunion will be the tabletop - the dining area (which doubles as a work area), which I’ll tell you about. The main tasks that were set before starting a kitchen renovation: For a comfortable stay, this is an excellent option for a small expansion. The advantage is full ventilation of the apartment, properly distributed lighting and always useful extra warm square meters. Design project of a kitchen combined with a loggia, which was drawn by me and taken as a basis. And so, in front of you is the original room, the kitchen. Initial premises. The first thing we did was dismantle the window and door to the loggia, the old glazing and everything unnecessary. Under the window opening, outside the ledge where our dinner table, we dismantled one row of bricks, reducing the thickness of the wall. The height of the ledge suited us and we left it. Made to increase the space under your feet. Let me tell you right away, it can be done! And in our case it is necessary. Before finishing begins, we lay out the electrical wiring taking into account the needs of connecting future electrical equipment. We have warm floors, an adjustable infrared heater (on the ceiling), sockets, lighting. #Advice. Infrared heater, as we found out, the thing is really cool. You set the required temperature, and it’s done. Many may say: “Yes, I’ll take the battery and take it out to the loggia!” Then don't forget! This is slightly prohibited by law and requires permission from the BTI. But if, after all, you decide to do it without permission, then problems may arise with the possible sale of the apartment. When performing insulation, attention was paid to the floor, ceiling, and walls that come into contact with the street. Main stages of insulation: When insulating the loggia, do not forget to include the window sill base - the ledge. The junction of the ledge with the loggia floor is a vulnerable place for drafts. The wall of the ledge itself is warm, and with inside There is heating by heating. And it is heating that we will consider now. To install the countertop, we did not forget about one more point - the radiator and the heating riser. Their presence is not aesthetically pleasing, and there is an option to pack them in plasterboard box(We continued to use gypsum boards in finishing the loggia). They erected a box, not forgetting about everyone required holes(grids) for proper circulation of warm air. Materials and actions: #Advice. If you have the opportunity to do a screed, don’t hesitate! Do it! We made a wooden floor on the loggia with foam insulation, covering it with plywood on top. Let's return to the main point of joining the loggia to the kitchen - kitchen table. It turns out that this is the main place. The dining table has always been a focal point in the kitchen. Before ordering and installing the tabletop, we had to calculate many aspects - height, comfort for the feet, dimensions. After all the careful measurements and calculations, this model was born. #Advice. The most convenient table shape is a rectangle with rounded corners. The table height varies as balcony ceiling a little higher. At least that’s what happened for us; here you need to act according to the situation. The resulting table heights: You say: “Inconvenient...!” I assure you, this is not so. Now it’s fashionable to vary the heights in the kitchen, both work surfaces and countertops, and we like it. And the bar, in our time, has become an indispensable attribute in the kitchen. You say: “Now you’ll have to spend money on bar stools.” I will answer, “Yes, I will have to.” And you will love them, it's convenient. We decided that our tabletop would be made of chipboard. It's economical. Although, there are disadvantages in practicality, because the main thing in the kitchen is moisture resistance. Although we chose moisture-resistant laminated chipboard, it cannot be compared, for example, with the sensational artificial stone. This is the choice of everyone. The tabletop was installed using slats and foam. To begin with, we prepared the slats different thicknesses, put two on the already former window sill part, the tabletop itself was already laid on them. Afterwards, we spent a long time and carefully adjusting the surface to the level, periodically adding slats and planks somewhere. “And yet, yes! Smooth!" They boldly frothed free space between the plane of the table and the base with mounting foam, without removing the slats. As time passed, when the foam dried, the bulky rivers were pulled out, and the voids from them were foamed again. We removed 2 slats, left the small slats and trims, cutting off the ends somewhere. It turned out perfectly smooth and high quality. Now you can start sealing all the corners of the junction with the walls, above and below the table. The joints were sealed with baseboards. And here is our result! We have good table, there is always room for all dishes. Free space appeared in the kitchen, previously occupied by a table and chairs. Now this is a kitchen - living room, kitchen - room, kitchen - transformer. We are pleased with the work done and the result. And finally. It all depends, of course, on the funds that we want to invest when starting to connect the loggia to the kitchen. But even for " economical repairs“Using cheap materials, you can make a pragmatic and aesthetic design of a kitchen combined with a loggia. The main thing is the idea! The first thing a buyer pays attention to when buying an apartment is its layout. In particular, the size of the kitchen, which in most typical high-rise buildings has rather modest dimensions, is of paramount importance. To correct such an unpleasant situation, many owners resort to redevelopment, by which the balcony is connected to the kitchen. That is, answering the question that is often asked to us, whether it is necessary to approve the addition of a balcony to the kitchen as a redevelopment, we answer in the affirmative: “Yes, it is necessary.” Despite the popularity of this redevelopment, it is worth noting that attaching a balcony to the kitchen is prohibited. Many may be surprised: “How is it possible, we have repeatedly heard that such redevelopments are being agreed upon.” And they will be right: by law, joining a balcony to a kitchen is indeed prohibited, but under certain conditions such a redevelopment can be agreed upon without going beyond the legal framework. But, before considering these conditions, let's make sure together that the ban on connecting a balcony to a kitchen really exists. To do this, let us turn to the Decree of the Moscow Government No. 508-PP dated October 25, 2011 “On the organization of reconstruction and (or) redevelopment of residential and non-residential premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings." Appendix No. 1 to this Resolution contains requirements for redevelopment. And prohibited types of work are listed. So, clause 10.19. It is not allowed to combine loggias, balconies, terraces, verandas with interior spaces. This means the following. Let's say in your apartment small kitchen, and you want to make it more spacious. So it is prohibited to use the balcony for these purposes. A corridor or a utility room, for example, is possible. And include a balcony kitchen area it is forbidden. But even if there is a ban that does not allow connecting a balcony to the kitchen, it is still possible to combine these rooms, and not bypassing or contrary to the existing law, but in accordance with it. The main thing to understand here is that the difficulty of connecting a balcony to a kitchen lies not in the technical side of the matter, but in the legal one. That is, the connection of the balcony to the kitchen must be properly arranged. Otherwise, any actions related to changing the original plan of the apartment will be considered unauthorized by the authorities. Which is fraught with future problems with the sale of the apartment, as well as fines and legal proceedings. So how to legally formalize the connection of a balcony to a kitchen? Let's start with the fact that as a result of the redevelopment: And the solution in this situation would be to install the so-called French doors in return window-door unit and window sill, which are dismantled. This translucent structure will ensure isolation of the balcony from the interior. And when the doors are in open position, then the main goal of such a redevelopment will be achieved - connecting the balcony to the kitchen. The doors between the balcony and the kitchen can be either hinged or sliding. In this case, the balcony will have to not only be glazed, but also insulated so that the temperature in the room in cold weather does not drop below the established norm. To register the connection of a balcony to the kitchen in the housing inspection of the city of Moscow, you will need to create a package of documents from: Sample application to the housing inspection:
Part project documentation, which is submitted for approval to the Moscow Housing Inspectorate, includes: If the connection of the balcony to the kitchen has already been completed, that is, an unauthorized redevelopment has been carried out that needs to be legalized, not two, but one design document will be required, which is called “Technical conclusion on the admissibility and safety of previously completed work.” Read more about it. If during the redevelopment process the bearing structures, then the refueling complex should be developed by the design organization that designed the residential building itself. Changes to capital structures may be planned during other work on redevelopment of the apartment. After all, when major renovation the matter, as a rule, is not limited only to measures to connect the balcony to the kitchen. For example, often a doorway is cut in the load-bearing wall between the room and the kitchen in order to connect the rooms in this way. This is not directly related to connecting the balcony to the kitchen. But the same technical conclusion is issued for all redevelopment work in total. So, when there is a planned intervention in the load-bearing structures of the house, a technical report is prepared author of the house project . In other cases, a technical report is ordered from any design organization with a license. A redevelopment project can also be ordered from the author of the house project or from a private design office. But here everything depends on the wishes of the customer. True, if you contact the author of a house project, you need to be prepared to pay for the design documents an amount that significantly exceeds the cost of similar services from private firms. License for design work: Yes, yes, don’t be surprised, in private design bureaus design documents are much cheaper than in state design institutes. And they are done much faster. In order for the redevelopment project to successfully pass the approval process in the housing inspection, the designers must provide in the document the presence of sliding (hinged) doors between the balcony and the kitchen. The project must also include a thermal engineering calculation confirming that redevelopment is possible. Certificate of completion of redevelopment: We carry out redevelopment in two ways: Budget option for approval.
You contact us (call or write). Based on the BTI technical documents you submitted, we analyze the possibility of attaching a balcony to the kitchen and other desired redevelopment work in your apartment. We develop project documents for you. And then you yourself deal with the approval of the redevelopment: you submit all the papers to the Moscow Housing Inspectorate, get permission, hand over the completed repairs to the redevelopment commission, contact the BTI to document all the changes made during the renovation. Turnkey redevelopment approval
. You issue a power of attorney for our employees. And we independently begin the procedure for approving your redevelopment: we collect and develop documents, interact with the housing inspection, obtain permission to work, help with submitting repairs to the commission, and prepare BTI documents. We will help you with obtaining permission in Moscow and documents for remodeling the kitchen - combining it with a balcony or loggia, installing a bar counter in place of the window. Practice shows that home owners are not always satisfied with the architectural solutions embodied in them. Many owners of small, including modern, apartments willingly part with a balcony or loggia, connecting them with the square footage interior spaces. Combining a kitchen with a balcony becomes very relevant when the area of the latter is comparable to the kitchen square meters. The material brought to your attention is intended to help those interested in how to combine a kitchen and a loggia. The idea of combining a room or kitchen with adjoining balconies (loggias) more often arises among creative tenants (owners) and in growing families who have small apartments. The first is usually driven by desire: For the second, combining a kitchen with a balcony is an opportunity: The additional footage obtained as a result of the combination can be used by home craftsmen and craftswomen to place small greenhouses, micro-workshops, handicraft corners, places for photography, amateur radio, etc. To implement the above, knowledge of the laws may be required, building codes and rules, even strength of materials. You cannot do without obtaining permission for redevelopment. Keep in mind that the law does not encourage self-will in remodeling your home. This is due to at least three reasons! Reasons for the special attitude towards redevelopment of living space: In order for combining a balcony with a kitchen to comply with the letter of the law, it must be done after receiving permitting documents. This procedure is provided for by the relevant provisions of the three codes of the Russian Federation: They cover in detail the main issues relating to modification of the layout, outline the range of work requiring approval, prescribe the procedure for obtaining permits and legalization after arbitrary redevelopment, etc. These legal acts also define operations that are strictly prohibited. Let us remind them to owners and responsible tenants who are planning to connect spaces for different purposes during the redevelopment of the balcony in the kitchen. The desire of Russians to make own house better, more spacious, clear and explainable. But in order to avoid improving the living conditions of an individual family from turning into a tragedy for neighbors, you need to clearly present a list of what cannot be done. If you are going to connect the kitchen with a balcony or loggia and combine the two different spaces in one thing, you can’t: In houses that are unsafe and have cultural and historical value, connecting types of balconies with kitchens (rooms) is prohibited! When bypassing permitting authorities, you need to be prepared that some will refuse your request to attach a balcony or loggia. Typical justifications for refusals: In this case, the right to attach a balcony (loggia) to your own premises will have to be restored through the court. For those who, bypassing the refusal, decide to resort to unauthorized redevelopment, we consider it appropriate to remind you of the consequences of neglecting to complete the necessary documents. The procedure for carrying out redevelopment work, which consists of attaching a loggia and balcony to the kitchen, is determined by the rules and regulations technical operation housing stock. The latter were put into effect by the Decree of the State Construction Committee of Russia under registration number 170 dated September 27, 2003. The canons of registration of changes in the layout of a building, ignored by re-planners, will manifest themselves in several “typical” cases: In the listed basic and some other cases of registration of property rights, a technical passport with a layout that corresponds to the actual one will be required. Otherwise, you will have to go through the approval required by law for connecting the loggia to the kitchen or return the apartment configuration to its original state. According to the law, the footage of all types of balconies is not included in the living area. When connected to the kitchen, the space of the latter increases. The discrepancy between the actual area and that recorded in Rosreestr is a legal conflict. She prevents correct design technical documentation. To prevent this from happening, the balcony and kitchen must be connected in compliance with the rules.. In order for the connection of a balcony (loggia) to a kitchen or other living space to be legal, the reconstruction should not violate the integrity outer wall. For partial or complete demolition of a partition with a dismantled window, you must obtain permission. There are two ways to connect a balcony area to a living space. You can combine a balcony with a kitchen: Regardless of the method of connecting the loggia (balcony) to the kitchen, it will be important question glazing and high-quality insulation of the newly formed external wall of the combined space. Let's look at a few common methods. Practice has developed many options for combining a kitchen and a loggia. Their listing and description with photos are beyond the scope of this article. If you decide to change the configuration of the kitchen space, contact the PereplanHome redevelopment design and approval bureau. We will offer several rational projects arrangement of the kitchen space, repair options and finishing works, which are suitable for your case, we will show you what each one looks like. The bureau’s database includes more than fifty ready-made projects:Tasks
