What should I pay attention to when decorating a balcony?

Pay attention to three points: life, aesthetics, and practicality.

The disadvantages of the current balcony: small, resulting in a waste of space due to the inadequate design layout; Old, not high utilization, resulting in disorganized and lack of practicality; Ruthless, unaesthetically pleasing, resulting in less fun in life.

When designing the balcony, the balcony space layout should be explored, so that the balcony design is refreshing and returns to the most simple life in terms of building façade, balcony shape, and use function; The design needs to be both practical and aesthetically pleasing. The balcony can be an observation deck, a gym, a children's room, a sunshine study, etc., so that people can have their own exclusive space without leaving home and enjoy the loveliest colors in nature! And solve the zero distance of "laundry & drying & storage" at home to improve the quality of living.

1.Sometimes, in order to expand the usable area, or to pursue a good decorative effect, the decoration company should connect the balcony with the interior. But there is a wall between the living room and the balcony, and the part under the window must not be moved.

In architecture, this low wall is called a "counterweight wall" and serves to support the balcony. If this wall is removed, it will seriously affect the safety of the balcony and even cause the balcony to collapse. Therefore, you can remove the doors and windows between the living room and the balcony during the renovation, but the "counterweight wall" must not be moved.

2.Quality is everything: No matter what you do with your balcony, the quality of your balcony's packaging will decide everything.

If you compare the aluminum alloy windows on the balcony with the equivalent doors and windows on the wall, it is clear that the quality requirements of the former are much higher than those of the latter. Because the balcony is volleyed on three sides, several sides are exposed to the wind, and its force is much greater than that of ordinary windows. In addition, many balconies are designed without considering the future packaging of the balcony, and there is no place for the window sash to "settle" at the top of the balcony and the guardrail.

Therefore, if the installation is not done properly, it is easy to cause accidents. If the balcony is not well sealed, it will leak air in the cold winter, which will reduce the indoor temperature; If it is a windy day, it will bring a lot of dust into the room; The most annoying thing is that every time it rains, the poorly sealed window sash will leak and wet the things on the balcony. Therefore, the quality of the balcony packaging work is of paramount importance and will affect your future use.

3.Decoration balcony pay attention to heat insulation: decoration balcony should pay attention to thermal insulation, Beijing residential balcony, in the construction of basically do not consider its thermal insulation problem, this is because there is a balcony door and window inside the balcony can play the role of thermal insulation.

However, many residents who have renovated their balconies have removed the doors and windows of the balcony considering the impact of the balcony doors and windows on the whole room. Consider a measure for the thermal insulation of the balcony. It can be considered to use polystyrene board to make an insulation layer below the balcony window, or to use rock wool to make an insulation layer below the balcony window, and use materials with good thermal insulation effect to form the insulation layer of the balcony wall to isolate the exchange of cold and hot air between indoor and outdoor.

1.The safety measures of the balcony in the decoration process must be in place, especially the outdoor balcony, then you need to pay more attention to some safety issues, especially the height of the balcony railing, the general height is recommended to be about meters, if there are children at home when the height and density of the railing are designed, the density of the railing is better to be smaller, and it is also necessary to install invisible anti-theft windows.

2.The balcony is generally equipped with two floor drains, one is used by the washing machine, and the other is the balcony drainage, and the floor drain needs to choose a better quality, because the frequency of using water in this position of the balcony is very low, and it is more suitable for the floor drain without water sealing.

3.For the waterproofing of balcony windows, we should first pay attention to the quality of the windows and have good sealing. Don't make a mistake about the inside and outside of the waterproof frame.

If your balcony doesn't have windows at all, or your balcony windows aren't waterproofed well, then it's the turn of the second waterproofing line. The bottom of the window and the wall and the floor are the places where water leakage is high, so the void should be filled with foaming agent and then sealed with silicone, so as to ensure that water does not seep in when it rains.

4.The balcony tiles are best to choose non-slip, which can ensure safety, and the color will generally choose dark color, which is more resistant to dirt, if you use light-colored tiles, you may have to clean many times, after all, the dust on the balcony is very much, and the choice of lighter color may cause the problem of blackening, you need to pay attention to the angle when laying the tiles, and ensure that the water can flow to the floor drain.

Don't think that the balcony area is not important, just buy some tiles that are lower grade than those used in the kitchen and bathroom. In fact, this part is the place where the alternation of cold and warm, and the feeling of thermal expansion and contraction is strongest throughout the year, which can easily cause the wall tiles to fall off. Therefore, do not buy very cheap wall tiles, the cement must be marked up to standard, and remind the bricklayer to also pay attention to the paving of this part.

Focus on practicality.

Laundry, the location of the lights. Potted plants, washing machine.

Will it rain in and so on.
