In home renovation, the balcony area may not be paid much attention to by many people. But in fact, if the balcony is not installed, it will greatly affect the comfort, reduce the check-in experience, and even lower the overall decoration style, resulting in inconvenience in life. The following will share the "4 do not install" when decorating the balcony, which is not superstition, but practical advice summarized from lessons learned, hoping to give you some reference value.
Many people's dream rooms are large balconies with large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and they have nothing to do in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to drink tea, bask in the sun, and give their bodies and souls a holiday. However, in real life, there are still a few people who can really pretend like this, mainly because there are many disadvantages of making large glass windows.
The first is expensive. If you want to make a large glass window, then the glass needs to be thickened, and in addition to the glass, the configuration of other materials must also keep up, so that the cost will not be low. Secondly, there are great risks in the process of transportation, hoisting and handling, which need to be completed with more than one professional, so these costs also need to be borne by you.
Even if you have the money and can afford the high cost, the potential risks can be prohibitive. Tempered glass has a self-explosion rate of 3/1000, and the larger the glass, the higher the chance of self-explosion. Every time there is a typhoon, it is obvious that it shakes so badly that it makes people feel scared. In short, once something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.
It is recommended that the balcony wall will be more stable with tiles, and it is not recommended to brush latex paint directly. Although it is said that it looks good at the beginning, I will worry about waterproofing, sun exposure and bumps in the future. Once there is any situation on the wall, it is likely to ruin the appearance of the home, not to mention, and finally have to be shoveled all over again. Some walls are uneven, and there may be various gaps when making cabinets.
In short, if the wall is covered with tiles, it can be done once and for all, after all, the tiles have a good waterproof effect and can protect the wall for a long time. Especially for families who do not seal windows, it is really not recommended to brush latex paint instead of laying bricks.
Friends who are ready to seal the balcony often consider installing a balcony cabinet on the balcony for storage, putting a washing machine and dryer, and then placing the daily needs of laundry detergent, fabric softener and even brooms and other tools in it. A good balcony cabinet can make the balcony a super space that combines beauty and function. To customize such a balcony cabinet, you have to pay attention to it, you must not choose to install a wooden cabinet like a cabinet for the living room and room, after all, the balcony environment is more special.
The nature of wood is that it is neither too damp nor exposed to the sun, but the balcony environment is like this. A humid environment can make the cabinet moldy, and the perennial sun can also cause the cabinet to crack. It can be seen that the service life of wooden balcony cabinets is not long.
If you really want to make a balcony cabinet, it will be better to choose aluminum alloy material, not afraid of moisture and mildew, and the surface can also be printed with the color of wood grain, which looks almost the same as a wooden cabinet.
Many friends like to paste the so-called Internet celebrity bricks on the balcony, such as small flower tiles, special-shaped bricks, etc., which are more decorative and more distinctive. But in fact, there are certain drawbacks to this installation, and it is recommended that the balcony should be paved with ordinary floor tiles.
First, because the cost of tiling a small specification or a line of tiles will be very high, even higher than the ** of the tile itself, which is not a cost-effective deal. The second is that it is not easy to clean and take care of, especially the open balcony, which is already dusty and exposed to wind and sun, and the ground is generally dirty. There are many gaps in small bricks, and it is easy to hide dirt and dirt. The place where the beauty sewing is done will be moldy and black for a long time, which will affect the appearance.
Therefore, the balcony is paved with large tiles as much as possible, which is convenient for cleaning and cleaning, and the space will also appear a lot more transparent, and it will still be durable after a long time.
