How to protect one wall of the loggia from heating by the sun

Correctly

Correctly. But penoplex should not be placed between the rails, thermal insulation better to do solid. No wonder the plates are made with steps along the edge. Moreover, all joints at the end of installation must be glued with tape. Therefore, fasten the insulation directly to the brick wall with special dowels, umbrellas.

Surely there will also be such seams (for example, in the corners) where the insulation boards are joined not by the factory edge, but by a cut. They must be foamed. In general, everything must be done so as not to leave any loopholes from the street to warm or cold air from the street.

Continuous layer of insulation

Seasonality

But in your case it is not enough to isolate only the walls. Not only they are heated in the summer, but also the floor and the ceiling, especially if no heat-insulating work has been performed on the neighbors above and below. A huge amount of thermal energy penetrates through the windows.

What to do?

• If there is no problem of warming, it is best to make the floor wooden by logs, sheathe the ceiling with any material with low thermal conductivity - lining, drywall, plywood, etc. If need to be insulated - insulate, the task of summer heating is solved by itself. I will not describe the technology, there really is no shortage of information on this topic.
• What to do with windows? First, do not open them in the heat. Secondly, do not try to protect yourself from the sun with metal blinds. They block the light, but not the heat. On the contrary, they will heat up and give away its excess inside the room. A more correct solution is blackout curtains. But it is best to stick a reflective film on the glass. It will not only protect against heat, but also create the effect of one-way visibility, which is important for apartments located opposite a nearby neighboring house or on the ground floor.
