Waterproofing and drainage problems
The balcony of the independent living room is a relatively exposed space, so it is the first to be affected in rainy and snowy weather. If waterproof is not done well, it may cause water leakage. In particular, the balcony of the independent living room is made into a laundry room or a flower planting room, which requires more water.
Maintain waterproof layer
When decorating, don't destroy the waterproof layer of the balcony of the independent living room. If you need water, waterproof it to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future, and it will be even more troublesome to repair it.
Thermal insulation problem
Many people will destroy the original insulation layer when they get through the balcony of the independent living room. Although the living room area has expanded, the floor filling and insulation problems of the balcony of the independent living room have also followed. Therefore, when getting through the balcony of the independent living room, we should pay attention to heat preservation issues, such as using double-layer glass and choosing plastic-steel windows as window materials.
Balcony packaging quality
Balcony packaging quality is the key to balcony decoration. Pay attention to its wind resistance and install it firmly. Seal it properly, or it will be unsealed if it leaks. The lower mouth of the sash is prone to water seepage. Generally, a gap of 2 cm is left under the window frame and filled with special sealant or cement. If there is a windowsill, you should make an outward slope.
Living room and balcony floor materials
The material of the living room and balcony floor can be selected according to the size of the area. If the building area is large, you can choose different floor materials, but if the area is small, you must choose materials with the same style and color.
Distinguish the main balcony from the secondary balcony.
A slightly newer house has 2-3 balconies. Before decoration, distinguish the main balcony and the sub-balcony, and clarify the function of each balcony. Generally, the balcony adjacent to the living room and master bedroom is the main balcony, which should focus on leisure and fitness, and can be equipped with gym, tea room and so on. And the decorative materials of walls and floors should be consistent with the living room; The second balcony is generally adjacent to the kitchen or the room outside the living room and master bedroom, mainly for storing things, hanging clothes or visiting, which can be simpler when decorating.
