>>47334>Will you do something about the floortiles?Only cleaning for now. Maybe I'll put linoleum there.
Main problem that it is just a temporary fix - old windows are pretty bad and have only single glass. For our climate anything without double glasses is nothing. But replacing windows with modern one requires removal of all this steel thing and making brick barrier, because steel one is too weak and even now has some curve from light load. But this can't be done by myself, it is too complex. So, if everything will be broken anyway in the future, replacing floor tiles "properly" (removing old ones, flattening surface etc) is meaningless task. As temporary one I only think about linoleum or something like cheap carpets.
>>47338>Yeah, fill the gaps with PURfoam and hope for the best. Weirdly I yet to use one, but I think some work will needs that in the not so distant future.Yes, already filled everything with foam. Although foams degrade from UV, and outer side of insulation sometimes gets light in sunny days through gaps (inner side is closed by panels now). I hope that it will work for few years at least.
>I thought that's normal temperature for Russian soul.I'm ok with those temperatures actually, but is makes balcony unusable in winter. It is a good place to store vegetables at cold season to preserve space in refrigerator, but having temperatures below zero is bad for them. It also doesn't allow putting things like storage PC (handmade NAS) there. I'll be ok if it will be more than 0 C at most severe winter (it is rarely below -20) after all this. Don't know if it would work though.
Anyway, finished panel placement yesterday, so can stop now and think about moldings for junctions and remaining gaps.
