We tell you what options for redevelopment of one-room, two-room and three-room apartments are possible in houses of this series. At the same time, let us remind you what not to do during repairs.
Do's and Don'ts when remodeling an apartment
House series I-209A glazing
Balconies in houses of the I-209A series can be glazed with casement and sliding windows.
Sliding windows are the optimal solution for an uninsulated balcony; windows made from PVC profiles provide maximum thermal insulation. The most popular products are Rehau (Rehau Blitz 60 profile) and KBE (KBE Expert 70 profile). Among manufacturers of sliding windows, products from Provedal and Krauss (aluminum profile) and Sliders (plastic window profile) are very popular. Please remember: windows made of aluminum profiles can freeze at low temperatures. Windows made from plastic profiles do not have this disadvantage.
The prices shown on this page are approximate. They are based on the standard sizes of balconies in houses of the 1-MG-600 series. The exact cost can only be found out after you have selected the optimal type of glazing and the craftsmen have measured your balcony.
Description
The I-209A series of houses are tower-type block buildings. The main period of their construction was in the 70-80s of the last century. This MNIITEP project became a logical continuation and development of the “twelve-story buildings” II-18. There are similarities in design solutions and apartment layouts, but as the number of apartments has increased, balconies (loggias) have appeared in each of them. The bulk of the houses in the series were built in Moscow and the region, less often in other regions of the Russian Federation.
It is worth noting that after increasing the number of floors in block buildings (up to 14 floors in the I-209A series), the designers made calculations that showed the need to use the panel-block construction principle in taller buildings. In I-209A houses, as in previous modifications of block buildings, the thermal insulation of external walls still remains poor and, as a result, the energy efficiency of the apartments is low. Currently, many of the houses in the series are included in the capital’s redevelopment plan; they are being overhauled with partial or complete replacement of utility networks and communications, as well as insulation of external wall panels and arrangement of a “ventilated facade.”
Briefly about houses of series II-68
Series II-68 houses were built en masse from 1968 to 1982; they are considered classic “Brezhnevka” buildings. On one side of the façade there are continuous residential loggias, on the other there is a fire escape balcony. Each section of the house has two elevators - cargo and passenger and passenger.
P-68 is the popular name for the house series. It arose due to the similarity in spelling. But the correct and complete name is II-68-01/16. By the full name you can recognize not only the series of the house, but also its modification and the number of floors.
Houses of the II-68 series usually have just 16 floors. However, there are other versions - with 12, 14 and 17 floors.
Series II-68 houses can be found in various areas of Moscow: Teply Stan, Konkovo, Ochakovo, Kuntsevo, Western and Eastern Biryulyovo, Zyuzino, Chertanovo and others. Such houses began to be built in Moscow in 1968, and the last one was commissioned at the beginning of 1990
Construction of a furnace portal with your own hands
For a sauna stove with a fuel duct leading into the next room, you will need to make an opening in the wall. It is done at the construction stage of the bathhouse, but it can also be built in an already erected wall. Making a portal for a stove into a bathhouse consists of the following steps.
- An opening is being constructed in the interior wall.
- It must be filled with refractory bricks to the size of the fuel channel.
- Finally, decorate it with finishing materials.
The size of the portal for a sauna stove depends on the power and dimensions of the heating device. You decide for yourself what the area of brickwork around the combustion channel will be. The height of the bath portal may be greater than its width. But there are horizontal options.
Glass wool should not be used for insulation. Although it also belongs to mineral wool, it does not tolerate too high temperatures (it does not lose its properties up to 350 degrees). And near a hot furnace, glass wool will melt.
Basalt wool must be made without binding components, since when heated they release harmful substances, and at a temperature of 500–600 degrees they turn into sand and fall out, the material loses its properties. As a result, the wall heats up and the wood darkens or even begins to smolder. Therefore, special high-temperature insulators are used to insulate the furnace: their melting point must be at least 800–1000 degrees.
Be careful: you cannot directly connect brickwork to an unprotected combustible wall. A small distance is also left between them, which is also sealed with refractory. All portal joints are subsequently masked using decor. Above the stove, bricks are laid on a metal corner. If you move the top row a little forward, you will get a neat mantelpiece.
Mortar for laying bricks
How to prepare it
What to pay attention to
The solution is made of sand and clay. Proportion 1:2 (take two parts clay for one part sand). The clay should be of normal fat content. Water must be added in an amount of 1⁄4 parts by weight of clay. The more salts it contains, the higher the likelihood of stains appearing on the masonry.
Therefore, clean rainwater will be the best option. To achieve uniformity of the finished mixture, you need to use fine sand. It is added after the clay has been soaked. When laying flat, 20 liters of such mortar is enough for 45–50 bricks.
Cement mortar is not recommended. It cracks under the influence of high temperatures, which will lead to the destruction of the masonry.

Description
The I-209A series of houses was designed as a development of previous series of block houses, such as II-18/09 and II-18/12. The number of floors in the tower-type building was increased to fourteen. After calculations, a further increase in the number of floors in block buildings was considered inappropriate, so for houses of higher number of storeys they began to use panel-block structural schemes, where only internal walls were built from concrete blocks, and external ones were made from hinged three-layer panels.
From the experience of constructing previous block series, it became clear that the external walls made of 400 mm thick concrete blocks did not fully meet the thermal insulation requirements. As a result, at certain times of the year, freezing of the external walls occurred, on the internal surfaces of which mold and mildew formed. Particularly vulnerable in this regard were the rooms located in the corners of the building, where the area of the external enclosing walls was greatest. To solve this problem, in the I-209a series, additional heating radiators were installed in the corners of the building, which were supposed to protect the outer walls from freezing. It should be noted that in this series, when the heating power is insufficient, problems sometimes arise with freezing of the enclosing structures and the formation of condensation on their inner surface. Unfortunately, external walls made of concrete blocks in the I-209a series do not meet modern requirements for thermal insulation and energy efficiency, so in Moscow 77% of houses underwent major renovations with insulation of external walls and installation of a ventilated facade system [ source not specified 724 days
].
The internal load-bearing walls of the series are located in 6-meter increments and are made of concrete blocks 400 mm thick. The external walls are also made of expanded clay concrete blocks (most often grade M-75). On each floor at the ends of the building, as in series II-18/12, there are stiffening diaphragms made of reinforced concrete panels 200 mm thick, which absorb wind loads from the end facades. The floor slabs are made of prefabricated reinforced concrete hollow-core slabs 220 mm thick, supported by internal load-bearing and external end walls.
Compared to the block series II-18/12, the standard series I-209A has an increased number of apartments per floor. Also added to the layout were spacious apartment-sized loggias, which occupy the entire facade of the building and because of which this series cannot be confused with any other. Despite the increase in the total number of apartments on the floor, three-room apartments were still retained in the layout. Moreover, the windows in such apartments overlook three facades of the building.
The houses in this series have a technical underground and a technical floor used for wiring utilities.
The advantages of this series, in addition to those already mentioned, include the absence of load-bearing walls inside the apartments (with the exception of rigidity diaphragms), which allows for many redevelopment options.
In addition to the insufficient thermal insulation of the external walls, the disadvantages include the lack of a freight elevator and the small areas of the apartments.
Why coordinate redevelopment?
Coordinated redevelopment guarantees that there will be no problems when selling the apartment, and most importantly, it ensures your safety. Any fundamental decisions that you make to the redevelopment of your apartment and that differ from the BTI plan must be coordinated.
Several reasons to do redevelopment according to the law:
- For registration of ownership. If the apartment is in social rent, then privatization is impossible with uncoordinated redevelopment.
- To protect against fines. Redevelopment without approval is grounds for a fine. The fine is not very large - up to 2.5 thousand rubles, but the Moscow Housing Inspectorate can issue an order to return everything as it was. Inspectors can find out about redevelopment at any time, especially if there are complaints from neighbors about noise during renovations. A plumber or gas worker who was called to the house can also tell you about the redevelopment.
- For a quick and profitable sale. Uncoordinated redevelopment will significantly reduce the cost of housing and may lead to cancellation of the deal. In addition, problems may arise with the bank if the buyer plans to take out a mortgage. The bank may refuse to invest money in housing, the layout of which at the time of sale differs from that specified in the BTI.
- For safety. Coordination of redevelopment is your safety. Repairs carried out in accordance with strict construction and sanitary rules will not damage the house and will ensure its reliability. Therefore, you should trust the development of a redevelopment project only to competent companies with permission from the SRO - for example, APM No. 1.
In order not to worry about the competence of the builders, you can additionally order a technical supervision service - then you will be sure that all repairs were carried out exactly according to the rules and will be approved without any problems.

Installation principle of the locking mechanism
Before implementing a scheme for installing a device in a sewer, be sure to make sure that the structure you purchased is strong, the internal structure must be working, and the installation must be adjusted, if necessary, with your own hands.
Installation of an air valve on a separate outlet
Take the instructions for the device and carry out installation according to it, or follow our following tips.
- We shut off the water supply from the main water riser. For some time we forget about the existence of drainage, that is, we do not use the sewer system.
- We select the desired area and get rid of it using a special tool. The cut on the 110th pipe can be made using a grinder.
- A device is installed in this place in the pipe to protect against odor penetration. It is securely fixed into the riser.
- If the sewer structure is horizontal, follow the direction of the arrow on the locking device. It must correspond to the direction in which the drains move.
- If a certain number of mm on the valve and pipeline do not match, you can correct the situation by installing additional rubber cuffs, but it is better to observe this nuance even at the time when you buy a return aerator.
- The fan ventilation aerator is attached without compromising the integrity of the pipeline. It is a device with a cylinder-shaped lid. When draining, the shut-off membrane opens, and when the pressure in the system increases, the element closes under the influence of a spring. Look at this photo, which shows a diagram of how a sewer check valve can be mounted.
By installing a vacuum valve for sewerage on the riser, the owner of the house will forever forget about fetid odors, at least if the pipeline and aerator have reliable characteristics.
Promising options for redevelopment of the house series I 209A
- One of the rooms can be repurposed as a large dining room and combined with a kitchen. The partition is removed if there is no ventilation in the wall. The large loggia is divided into two, used from the kitchen, living room and room side. An exit is made through the window-door block;
- If you do not make a large dining room, you are left with a room with two exits. It is proposed to make a large spacious room. Internal partitions, as a rule, are not a structural element. It is not prohibited to change configurations in rooms. Openings and decorative partitions in the form of a window are made;
- In typical apartments, the bathroom area is 5.6 m2. To install a jacuzzi, a not entirely successful exit to the hall is sewn up, where there is a wet area at the entrance. The partition is removed and the bathroom and toilet are combined.
It is forbidden to move risers where the bathroom, toilet and kitchen are located. Everything else can be changed, but must first be legalized. In the future, for any real estate transactions, it is necessary to obtain other documents for the new layout. Any redevelopment without exception is subject to legal registration.

Which walls are load-bearing and which are not in house I209A?
You can find out by carefully studying the plans below.
Usually non-load-bearing ones are located between the corridor and the living room.
Redevelopment of a 1-room apartment
The apartments in this series have both separate and walk-through rooms. Typical projects in the series include two types of two-room apartments and several types of three-room apartments, the most successful of which is considered to be the one with one isolated room and two balconies.
DETAILS: Requirements for the composition of the project for the reconstruction and (or) redevelopment of premises in an apartment building and a residential building
The advantage of the buildings in the series is the minimum of load-bearing structures inside the apartments. This allows you to do redevelopment in many ways and, thus, increase the comfort of housing and give it individuality.
In a house of this series, in a 2-room apartment in the load-bearing wall between rooms, it is possible to move the opening from the middle of the room to the edge in order to extend the corridor and isolate the rooms. It is possible to move the opening in a house of the I-209A series starting from the 4th floor. The cut opening in the load-bearing wall is reinforced with a channel frame, according to the redevelopment project from MNIITEP.
We provide a work contract, SRO approval, a hidden work certificate, and a guarantee.
General view of the opening, reinforcement scheme and manufacturing of the opening groove
Please note that the installation and dismantling of openings in load-bearing walls requires permission from the housing commission. When making an opening, it is necessary to reinforce it with metal strips. In houses of this series, actions cannot be carried out with balconies, despite the fact that they seriously darken the distant parts of the living spaces and there is often a desire to change this situation.
The small size of kitchens in houses forces owners to expand their territories by changing the area of the corridor. A popular type of redevelopment of i209p is the combination of a bathroom and toilet into one more spacious block. Dismantling of the partition must be carried out with permission from the regulatory authorities, with all engineering calculations performed.
Another option in a three-room apartment, when one of the rooms is a walk-through room, is to destroy the partitions between two bedrooms next to each other and move the new partition towards the expansion of the room bordering the balcony. After which an additional entrance is made from the corridor. That is, in this case there are three doorways in the corridor for all rooms. This redevelopment eliminates the need for a walk-through room in the apartment.
Our specialists will draw up a standard and individual project in accordance with building codes and obtain the necessary permits to bring the design concept to life.

Redevelopment affects load-bearing structures. Coordination of redevelopment according to a standard project takes place according to a simplified procedure.
Disadvantages of standard redevelopments
Standard designs have been developed for series II-68 houses - the state has determined in advance how the layout of apartments in such houses can be changed. We showed them above. Such projects allow you to arrange redevelopment in a simplified manner - without contacting designers. It is enough to simply refer to the standard project in an application to the Moscow Housing Inspectorate.
However, in practice, standard projects are not the most common and convenient option for owners. Often, owners who decide to remodel their apartment also want to arrange the plumbing fixtures in a way that suits them, enlarge the openings, expand the boundaries of the rooms, or slightly add to the project as they wish. In these cases, it is necessary to order an individual project, since the slightest deviation will lead to refusal to accept the redevelopment.
We advise you to consult with the designers in advance and discuss your wishes. Moreover, our first consultation is free!
