The internal trim of the terrace should be harmonized with the interior of the main part of the house, create the necessary mood and be practical. It must be borne in mind that the design of the terrace is usually not protected by the roof, and therefore the right choice of materials for work is important.

We choose material for internal work on the terrace

1. Wood is the most popular material for the terrace, but it can be used under the condition of high-quality antiseptic and moisture-repellent composition.
2. Deck board: dear, but practical material for flooring. Due to its composition has a long service life. Perfectly harmonizes with other materials, especially with natural wood.
3. Ceramic tile: With it, it is possible to create a very durable flooring for the floor and stages of the terrace. You should use frost-resistant tiles with matte, non-slip surface.
4. Cement-sand tie: the most reliable method of the base device for flooring (floor) terraces.
5. Rubber coating: not expensive, but practical floor material. Laying can be carried out on top of a cement-sand screed or over a board base.
6. Brick, natural stone (Booth): With the help of these materials, you can finish a decorative parapet of the terrace.
7. Green lawn: For an open terrace, such a coating is arranged on a thoroughly aligned and the rammed platform, on top of which the subflink from sand and rubble is located. At the same time, a drainage system for removal of soil and rain moisture should be provided.
8. Metal and forged elements can be used for the parapet device.

The decoration of the open terraces does not involve the use of a number of materials that are unstable to moisture and temperature differences, such as:

• laminate;
• parquet board;
• MDF panels, chipboard sheets, fiberboard;
• plasterboard.

The trim of the terrace is performed in several stages, the main of which is the floor device. For a terrace arranged on the roof, it should use lightweight materials for this, such as natural wood flooring and a composite deck board.

Device board flooring on the terrace

The boardwalk serves as a fixed coating on the terrace. The basic requirements for it are as follows: the floor must be resistant to atmospheric precipitation and ensure water removal. The trim of the terrace with the tree is performed in compliance with the following rules:

1. For flooring, the wood of solid rocks is selected: Oak or Siberian larch. Wood tropical trees is characterized by the greatest moisture resistance, but due to the high cost can only be used for the luxury trim of the terrace.
2. The thickness of the boards should be within 25-40 mm.
3. T-shuttered plaques for flooring terraces do not apply.
4. The boards must have a corrugated surface (Decing), which prevents slipping after wetting.

Installation of the adhesive floor is performed on the finished column foundation with lags lags. The basis of this should be mounted with a slope: rainwater will flush into the ground or assemble in the drainage system. Technology provides for the following.

1. Lagged in advance of the bars are treated with an antiseptic agent and protected by two layers of rubberoid.
2. The flooring boards are carefully polished and placed several times with a water-repellent means.
3. The laying of the board is carried out so that between them the distance is about 5 mm. This gap is required to remove water and compensate for the expansion associated with a change in humidity and temperature. The same clearance is left around the perimeter of the floor.
4. Boards are fastened with self-stakes in vovel: Hats must be bundled by 3-4 mm.
5. Putty for wood, selected in color, mask hats of selflessness.

Technology laying polymer deck board

The deck board is the most reliable, resistant to moisture, due to resins and tanning substances included in the material. In an additional impregnation, the composite deck board does not need.

There are two ways to lay a deck board.

1. Open method: Boards are attached to lags with self-drawing, after which the caps are closed with plastic plugs.
2. A closed method involves the use of special clips. They are attached to one edge to lags by self-drawing, and the other edge presses the edge of the rigidity of the board. Thus, the flooring is formed, on which fasteners are not visible, which looks aesthetically attractive. In addition, with this method, the likelihood of damage to the fastening elements is reduced.

Terrace on the backdrop: Features

In the event that the terrace is located in the lower tier, more severe materials can be used for flooring. The floor device using ceramic tiles involves performing the following work.

1. Preparation of the site: level alignment, markup.
2. Drying is a slab base with a depth of about 300 mm, soil seal.
3. The device of a slab monolithic base with a thickness of at least 100 mm. Previously, waterproofing and subference from sand (150 mm) and rubble (100 mm) must be laid. It is necessary to provide reinforcement.
4. After filling the base and its full pouring, the ceramic tile is stacked with tiled adhesive.
5. Stuffed seams between tiles.

Important: Tile glue, rapid mass and ceramic tiles must be frost-resistant, intended for external use.

The internal trim of the terrace is not limited to the specified materials. Floor flooring can also be completed with:

• paving slats;
• wild stone;
• rubble and pebbles;
• coatings based on natural turf.

Parapet on the terrace

Parapet on the terrace located on the lawn near the house, performs exclusively decorative functions. On it you can install decorative figurines, lamps or flower pots. For the terraces arranged on the roof, the parapet is a mandatory element, protective fence.

Parapet on the terrace can be built:

• from brick or natural stone;
• from a bar, blockchaus or rounded log;
• metal design decorated with forging elements.

When choosing a material, the design features and the placement of the structure transmitted to the base and supporting structures load and the style of the terrace design are taken.

Decorating the terrace

The trim of the terrace inside also involves the decorative design. Conditionally this can be divided into three components.

1. Garden furniture: wicker of rattan or made of solid wood, it should be harmonized with a common style of the terrace. It is good from a practical point of view forged furniture: it is not afraid of precipitation and serves for many years.
2. The stationary or portable brand is also appropriate, on the terrace, given that this structure is a seating area. It should be provided for a special zone for it protected from random drop of hot coal.
3. The terrace finish (photo for example) with the help of living colors is a prerequisite for its design. It is important to choose the right plants: they must be light-friendly, resistant to temperature drops.
