Modern people decorate, more and more people choose to seal the balcony, especially in the renovation of small apartments and old houses, there are even more people sealing the balcony! This decoration trend is equivalent to weakening the concept of balcony and integrating the balcony into the living room area. So, why are more and more people sealing the balcony? What are the benefits of sealing a balcony? Let’s talk about banana !
. Expand the sense of space
Enclose the balcony and remove the door between the living room and the balcony. This operation is equivalent to incorporating several square meters of the balcony into the living room, which instantly expands the area of the living room a lot, making the space in the hall more spacious and generous.
. Improve the space utilization
After the balcony is connected to the air conditioner, it not only enhances the sense of space, but also greatly improves the possibility of space utilization. For example, you can extend the TV wall to the original balcony space, or you can also arrange a desk on the side of the balcony after opening to transform the balcony into an office area.
, dustproof
If you keep the window open at home now, usually there will be more dust in the house after 2-3 days! Sealing the balcony is of great help to prevent dust, especially the balcony floor, which is prone to accumulation of dust. After closing, there is less dust and the interior is much cleaner.
. Soundproofing
The current balcony sealed glass is basically double-layer hollow sound insulation glass . The sound insulation effect of this glass window is much better than that of ordinary balcony door . For example, the house facing the street is noisy. Seal the balcony and add the door between the balcony living room. Under double sound insulation, the interior will be much quieter.
5, lighting improvement
After the balcony is sealed, the door between the living room balcony is removed, and the spacious and generous space is spacious and elegant. After the light is transparent and the balcony glass windows can directly penetrate the entire hall area, which is also of great help to indoor lighting, and will make the entire hall brighter and more generous.
6. Safety (prevent objects thrown from high altitudes)
Like if you have children at home, sealing the balcony is also a safer solution. If the balcony is blocked by glass windows, children don’t have to worry about accidentally causing the danger of throwing objects from high altitudes when playing with toys near the window.
7. Disadvantages and precautions for sealing the balcony:
① Ventilation
After the balcony is sealed, ventilation will be affected to a certain extent. Most of the glass windows of the enclosed balcony only have two smaller window leaves, which is much smaller than the originally open balcony.
②Daning clothes
Regarding the balcony sealing, many netizens’ questions are - where to dry the clothes? In fact, for this situation, one is to install a spare clothes rail on the closed balcony, and the other is to install a dryer instead of natural drying.
③Planting on the balcony
If you like to grow flowers, grass and vegetables, the balcony will be greatly affected after it is closed, without direct light and natural ventilation, and the growth of many plants will be greatly affected.
④Property Management
Balcony sealing will have a certain impact on the appearance of the building. Some residential properties are prohibited from sealing windows, and some residential properties require the sealing of windows to be specified. Regarding property management requirements, please contact the property company before sealing windows.
⑤ Water leakage problem
When installing window seals, be sure to be waterproof! The gap filling, glass glue, etc. must be done in place. It is recommended that after the balcony sealing window is installed, wait until the glass glue is dry and use a hose to connect water to the four sides of the sealing window to avoid living for a year and waiting for the rainy rain in the next year to find water leakage.
