It is an extension of indoor space and a transition between indoor and outdoor. With the continuous improvement of the quality of life, people's requirements for home design are becoming more and more detailed. The balcony, which is traditionally only used for drying and washing, has gradually become an indispensable part of indoor decoration.
There are generally three kinds of balconies: cantilever, embedded and corner. The principle of balcony decoration is safe, applicable, economical, spacious and beautiful.
Decorate the balcony to distinguish between primary and secondary, clear function.
Now houses have 2-3 balconies. Before renovation, distinguish between 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 making a kitchen, which can be simpler when decorating. Understand the bearing capacity of balcony
When decorating the balcony, you should know its bearing capacity, which can be understood through the residential instruction manual given by the developer. Usually the load per square meter does not exceed 250 kilograms. You can't put too heavy furniture and articles out of the balcony. Especially when changing the balcony into a study, you can't treat the balcony as a "library".
Sometimes in order to expand the use area, or pursue good decorative effect, the decoration company should connect the balcony with the interior. In the decoration, the doors and windows between the bedroom and the balcony can be removed, but the load-bearing wall must not be moved, otherwise it will seriously affect the safety of the balcony, and even the balcony will collapse. Packing precautions.
Most balconies fly in the air on three sides, and some of them are blown by the wind, and the force is much greater than that of ordinary windows. It is a common behavior for many residents to close some semi-closed balconies with aluminum alloy or plastic steel windows. Of course, it also depends on whether the community management office agrees.
1, aluminum alloy, the thickness of aluminum alloy profiles blocking the balcony should be above 1.2 mm, aluminum alloy is suitable for the south, and sliding windows are recommended.
2, plastic-steel window, plastic-steel window profile block balcony should verify that the steel lining is indeed installed in the profile. Plastic steel windows are suitable for northern areas, and the casement window type is recommended.
3. Tempered glass of more than 5mm should be used for window glass, and insulating glass can be used for sound insulation. Decorate the balcony and make the balcony area waterproof.
1, the balcony sliding door waterproof, first of all, pay attention to the quality of the door, good sealing. Don't make a mistake about the inside and outside direction of the waterproof frame.
2. The waterproof of balcony floor, first of all, is to ensure the slope of the floor. The lower side is the drain. The second is to ensure that the height difference between the balcony and the living room is at least 2-3 cm. If it is difficult to make the living room and balcony have such a height difference, I suggest you use marble slabs as decoration, which is both practical and beautiful. Of course, both ends and bottom of the slate should be sealed to prevent leakage.
3. Keep the balcony floor drain unobstructed. Matters needing attention in garden balcony decoration
On the basis of bearing and waterproof, the garden balcony should consider the following points:
1, any form of decoration needs to consider the problem of balcony wind tension, and all accessories need to be reinforced to ensure firmness.
2, balcony floor to ensure smooth drainage system, so as not to seep into the bedroom.
3. Try to choose varieties with high insect resistance for the flowers and plants on the balcony. Moreover, the planting belt and the living room need to be separated to avoid insects and ants. Balcony gardens are not suitable for growing tall flowers and small trees. Matters needing attention of balcony drying rack
