To turn a loggia or a balcony into a cozy place is quite simple.

As a rule, for these purposes, the balcony is often lined with clapboard.

There is a lot of work to be done in this case, however, due to the fact that it is in principle simple, the majority of the process is usually handled by its own efforts.

What is better lining?

After thinking about how to clapboard a balcony with clapboard, first of all it is necessary to decide which of the variety is best for using clapboard.

Speaking of clapboard, as a rule, most in the imagination are immediately drawn products made of wood and this is quite logical.

More rarely, this term means PVC panels, while adding the word "plastic".

If you do not know what kind of forcing is better than others, then, first of all, you should think about what financial resources you have and be guided only by your practical and aesthetic considerations.
