Colleague Xiao Zhang's family lives on the second floor in the corner of the community. Someone was robbed in the community a few days ago. For safety reasons, Xiao Zhang plans to seal up the balcony, which involves many problems.
Should the protective fence be removed?
Some owners will install iron guardrails with a height of less than 1.1 meters when sealing the balcony. Not only does it affect the appearance, but it is also easy to rust. It is better to install a layer of invisible anti-theft net on the outside to prevent the safety hazard of falling. Can
be made into frameless windows?
Frameless windows can also be regarded as a new type of balcony sealing material. Compared with framed glass, frameless windows provide better lighting and are more beautiful overall. They are very suitable for open balcony sealing.
However, frameless glass has high safety requirements. Without a window frame to support it, the glass is less stable and can easily shake or break on windy days.
So in order to ensure safety, it is best to choose tempered glass . If you have sufficient budget, it is recommended to purchase hollow tempered glass made from ultra-clear glass original sheets, with a self-explosion rate of less than 1% .
When buying, you should also pay attention to see if there is 3C certified with a mark such as "CCC". If not, it means failed tempered glass. ( Judgment method : If it cannot be scratched off, it is real. If it falls off with a fingernail, it is fake.)
But even so, it is not recommended for residents above the tenth floor to install frameless windows . Does
have to do broken bridge aluminum ?
In addition to broken bridge aluminum, window frames are also made of plastic steel and aluminum alloy.
● Although plastic steel is cheap, it has a large cross-section, is unsightly, and is prone to aging and corrosion. Not many people will choose it anymore.
● Aluminum alloy is cheap, hard, and resistant to stains and wear. However, it is metal after all, it is easy to conduct heat, and its thermal insulation performance is poor.
As a compromise, broken bridge aluminum is now the choice of most owners.
For households with air conditioning in the summer and floor heating in the winter, it is recommended that the combination of broken bridge aluminum + double-layer insulating glass can provide good thermal insulation.
If the house faces the road or highway, you can choose broken bridge aluminum + double-layer laminated glass , which has good sound insulation effect.
Of course, if you don’t have high requirements for these two aspects, you can just use ordinary aluminum alloy windows.
How to use the enclosed balcony?
● can open up the balcony and the living room , expanding the indoor space without affecting the functional use of the two areas.
● can also be built as a laundry area . Large cleaning equipment such as washing machines can be placed on the balcony to free up the bathroom space. If you want to dry, you can make a lift-type drying rack on the top, and you can also create a storage cabinet to store things.
● can also be used as a leisure area . Customize a wicker chair or lazy sofa, and put some green potted plants, so you can enjoy life anytime and anywhere.
