1, the balcony is an important area for lighting. If the balcony is connected to the living room, try not to block the lighting of the living room when decorating the balcony.
2, in order to ensure the permeability of the living room and balcony, if necessary, with transparent glass or curtain partition, so as not to affect the living room lighting.
3. If conditions permit, you can make a large French window or increase the window area.
Second, the balcony quality
The balcony is flying in the air on three sides, which means that many sides will be blown by the wind, and the load bearing is much larger than that of ordinary windows. Not to mention someone is going to turn the balcony into a gym.
Third, the balcony packaging problem
1. Balcony packaging has two ways: protective net packaging and window packaging. The former can only achieve the effect of security and theft prevention, and other functions cannot be exerted. Especially in the windy and sandy climate in the north, this packaging method is rarely used. The latter encapsulates the balcony in the form of a window, which has good sealing performance, can block outdoor wind and dust, and can effectively prevent the invasion of outdoor cold and hot air, thus better ensuring indoor cleanliness and room temperature balance. This way of encapsulating the balcony is a common one at present.
2. If you plan to transform the balcony into a gym, in addition to packaging the balcony, you must also do a good job of strengthening the balcony.
3. Balcony packaging renovation requires property consent to avoid unnecessary disputes.
4. Make sure the balcony window is installed firmly. The vertical frame and horizontal frame of the balcony aluminum window must be fixed on the guardrail and top of the balcony, fixed in concrete with nails and rivets, and reinforced with painted angle steel.
5. Balcony packaging needs to be sealed. Generally speaking, the lower mouth of the sash is easy to seep, so a gap of 2 cm should be left under the window frame and filled with cement or sealant.
Fourth, the balcony drainage and waterproof
Many families will choose to put the washing machine on the balcony at work, which requires that the waterproof layer and drainage system on the balcony floor must be done well. If the drainage and waterproofing are not handled properly, there will be water accumulation and leakage, which will affect the residents downstairs.
1. Check the airtightness and waterproofness of closed windows and sliding doors connecting balconies and rooms.
2, regularly check the floor drain, keep unobstructed.
