The purpose of sealing the balcony of the villa is usually to increase the indoor use area, improve the safety of the balcony, prevent the wind and sand and rainwater from entering the room, etc. When sealing the balcony of the villa, it is necessary to take into account the load-bearing capacity, ventilation, lighting, sound insulation, thermal insulation and other factors of the balcony.
Let's introduce how to seal the balcony of the villa floor-to-ceiling glass?
1.Choose the right glass and fittings.
When choosing floor-to-ceiling glass for high-rise balconies, safety (such as impact resistance and safety), thermal and sound insulation, explosion-proof performance, and the thickness of the glass should be considered.
Laminated glass and insulating glass are better choices because of their safety and good thermal and sound insulation.
Tempered glass is also a common choice, as it has strong impact resistance and thermal insulation properties, and does not form sharp splinters after shattering.
The thickness of the glass should generally be between 5mm and 10mm, depending on the area of the balcony and the load-bearing.
The choice of accessories is also very important, and you should choose accessories that meet the size of doors and windows, such as hinges, locks, etc.
2.Install protective railings.
Protective railings for high-rise sealed balconies are essential to ensure safety.
According to the requirements of the high-rise building code, the height of the railing should be 1100mm, and the railing design should be constructed to prevent children from climbing, and the clear distance between the vertical members of the railing should not be greater than 011m, where the flower pot is placed, anti-fall measures must be taken.
3.Install the glass and fittings.
First, according to the size and shape of the doors and windows, the glass is cut to a suitable size.
Then, wash the glass to make sure the surface is dry.
Next, apply the glass glue evenly on the glass and the door and window frames, and then slowly place the glass on the door and window frames, and gently tap it with a rubber hammer to make the glass fit tightly with the door and window frames.
Finally, install hardware accessories such as hinges, locks, etc.
4.Check when the installation is complete.
After the installation is completed, you should check whether the opening and closing of the doors and windows are smooth, whether the glass is loose, and whether the accessories are installed firmly.
In addition, it should be noted that when purchasing floor-to-ceiling glass for villa sealed balconies, it is recommended to choose well-known brands as much as possible, such as Schupard, Wicona, Aluk, Moser, etc., and choose a brand with a good reputation to provide better product quality and after-sales service.
