Many people always choose to enclose the balcony when decorating the balcony. enclosing the balcony can not only improve the space utilization rate, but also make the indoor warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very comfortable. However, is it really that good to seal a balcony? These possible problems need to be considered before installation.
1. Whether to connect to the living room after the balcony is sealed
Many people always worry about whether the balcony should connect to the living room after the balcony is sealed. Although installing sliding doors can turn the balcony into an independent space, because the balcony has been sealed, it can block the intrusion of rainwater and noise to a certain extent, and installing sliding doors will make it look useless. Therefore, it is recommended that you open up the balcony and the living room, turn the balcony into laundry, office, tea bar and other areas to increase the functionality of the room.
2. Do you need to partition the living room and balcony floors?
If the indoor space is relatively large, you can choose to lay different materials in partitions, which will appear distinct layers. If the indoor space is relatively small, laying with different materials will lead to visually dividing the space and making the space appear smaller. In addition, threshold stone is also needed to be installed between the balcony and the living room, which is more troublesome to clean. Therefore, it is recommended that if the space is not large, try to choose tiles between the living room and balcony.
3. Can wooden floors be laid out?
The balcony and the living room can be covered with wooden floors, but the balcony is a special space. If you dry clothes on the balcony, you may get water dripping on the ground, causing damage to the wooden floor. Therefore, it is recommended that if you want to dry clothes on the balcony with wooden floors, it is best to buy a dryer or an invisible clothesline to avoid water dripping on the wooden floor.
4. What should I do if I want to put a washing machine on the balcony?
Many people will place a direct washing machine on the balcony. If the tiles on the balcony are basically water-treated, there will be no big problems. If the balcony floor is paved with wooden floors, it is best to install a leak-proof base. In this way, once water leakage occurs, the water will be in the base and drained through the base to avoid affecting the ground.
