In recent years, broken bridge aluminum windows are very popular, and everyone has seen others on the Internet to open up balconies, and it looks good to use broken bridge aluminum and large glass windows, and they also blindly follow the trend. My neighbor is like this, he spent tens of thousands of dollars to install large glass floor-to-ceiling windows, but now he wants to remove them and replace them with sliding windows, he said that there are too many shortcomings.
1.Ventilation is not good
The neighbor's house is a north-south transparent house, and there are no high-rise buildings in front of it. After the window was sealed, there was no wind at all, only two small opening windows for ventilation. In the summer, the air conditioner is turned on, and the living room is still very stuffy.
2.High cost
The larger the glass, the thicker the thickness, and the aluminum is also very thick, so it is very high. The large glass is relatively heavy, and the hoisting fee and installation fee alone are a big expense.
3.Not very secure
Because of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the glass has a certain probability of self-explosion, and it is dangerous if such a large piece of glass self-detonates. Another point is that the large glass is very heavy, the larger glass weighs 2 tons, and the load-bearing capacity of many balconies is not high, so there are potential safety hazards when installed.
In typhoon weather, the wind is blowing loudly, and I am really worried that the glass will be blown away by the wind. I didn't want big glass on my balcony, I added a partition in the middle, divided a big glass into two pieces, I live in a high-rise house, I'm afraid that the wind glass can't bear it, and I'm afraid that the glass will be exposed, and the installation of glass will also tell me that the big glass is good-looking, and the vision is good, I said I don't want a good view, and I don't want the head to look good, I want safety.
4.Large glass is not easy to clean
A whole piece of large glass should also be cleaned frequently, the inside is fine, and the outside has to be cleaned by professionals, which is another expense.
The flavor is getting stronger in 2024
The stupidest thing to do is to install large glass windows on the balcony, if your home is not close to lakes, rivers and the sea. It's not a big villa, and there's no point in installing big glass. Do you look at the building opposite? In addition to having a good view and looking good, the large glass is really not practical at all.
Therefore, it is best to seal the window with a sliding window, if you use a broken bridge aluminum casement window to seal the window, then do not put a large glass in the middle, make more frames, and divide the large glass into several parts, so that sealing the balcony is safe and cost-effective.
