Interior balcony design principles and precautions

The balcony is a space for families to communicate with the outside world. In the past, people often neglected the decoration of this space and used it as a home storage warehouse. Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of people's aesthetic consciousness and pursuit, the design and decoration of balconies has also received more and more attention from people. The design and decoration also mainly combine practical and beautifying functions.

1, the balcony of the waterproof treatment

The key to the balcony design is to ensure good water resistance and drainage. Now the area of ​​the balcony is generally relatively small, but in this small space, people need to move and plant some flowers and plants, and sometimes pile up some heavier things, so the balcony must be waterproofed. The occurrence of water seepage not only damages the balcony itself but may also endanger the interior space. So the balcony design focuses on waterproofing. If you want to do waterproof work, you must first start from the balcony window. You must choose a window with good sealing and reliable quality. After you select a window with good waterproof performance, you must also perform waterproof treatment on the balcony floor, and waterproof the balcony floor. First, make sure that the ground is sloped, and open the drain on the lower side; make sure there is at least a 2 to 3 cm difference in height between the balcony and the living room or other room to which it is connected. However, the height of the finished product room balconies and other spaces is mostly only 1 cm. To reach the height required for design, tiles or marble plates must be used for decoration. This is practical and beautiful.

Under normal circumstances, the balcony can be divided into two types: inner balcony and outer balcony. The inner balcony is insulated from the outside by plastic windows or aluminum alloy windows; the outer balconies are mostly open to the outside world and are not closed. Under the window of the inner balcony, the water is most likely to seep under. The usual practice is to reserve a gap of about 2 cm below the window and then seal it with cement or a special foaming agent so that water seepage can be avoided. The sill board is best chosen for stone because it is waterproof, sun-resistant and non-cracking compared to the wooden sill. There is no special requirement for the laying of the inner balcony floor. It is best to be consistent with the laying of the room floor. This can have the effect of expanding the space. There are many ways to hang ceilings on the inner balcony. You can choose grape frame ceilings, painted glass ceilings, decorative false beams and other methods. If the area of ​​the balcony is too small, it is best not to suspend the ceiling in order to avoid pressure.

When designing the outer balcony, it is necessary to pay attention to the color matching of the wall and floor tiles to coordinate with the outer wall. The specifications of the floor tiles and the wall tiles should be determined according to the size of the balcony, and the floor drain must be reserved when laying.

Some people like to plant flowers and plants on balconies, place bonsai, or raise birds and raise fish. At this time, consider making some flower racks on the outside balcony. Outside the balcony, you can also consider installing a lifting type drying rack, which is both convenient and beautiful.

2. Reconstruction of the balcony

Many families now use the inner balcony as an extension of the living space and are designed as a study room, gym or leisure area. Outside the balcony is more designed to cultivate flowers and plants. In order to expand the use of space and pursue a good decorative effect, some people let the workers open the balcony and the interior room during the renovation. Perhaps many people do not know that there is a wall between the room and the balcony. The part under the window is absolutely immobile. This low wall is called “weight wall” and plays the role of supporting the balcony. If this wall is dismantled, It will affect the safety of the balcony. In serious cases, it may cause the collapse of the balcony. Therefore, the doors and windows between the room and the balcony can be removed during the renovation process, but the “weight wall” must not be moved.

In the renovation of the balcony, we must also pay attention to insulation, and now the finished product room has a balcony door and window that can function as a thermal insulation inside the balcony. However, many people did not take into account the influence of the balcony doors and windows on the whole room when the balcony was remodeled, and this window and door was dismantled, which reduced the insulation performance of the balcony. If you want to increase the thermal insulation performance of the balcony, it is better to use polystyrene board as the insulation layer below the balcony window, or use rock wool to make the insulation layer below the balcony window. The insulation layer thus formed can effectively cut off the indoor Exchange of hot and cold air outside.

If the family home is relatively tense, the balcony can be remodeled and fully utilized. In general, as long as the balcony is completely closed, and then carefully renovated, you can transform the balcony into a small study, a small bedroom and so on. If the balcony is decorated as a bedroom, it is best to put the bed away during the day so that it can fully function as a balcony. However, before the balcony is closed, it must be carefully considered because closing the balcony means losing the function of the balcony, and the closed balcony can only expand the use of the area. If an accident occurs, it will lose a good life-saving channel.

Because most of the houses currently do not have lighting facilities on the balcony, the balcony is dark in the evening. Therefore, it is best to install a balcony light for the balcony decoration. If there is a wall between the balcony door and the balcony window, a wall lamp can be installed. The installation height is preferably about 2 meters from the ground. The lighting fixture is also suitable for glass lamps that are not afraid of the sun and the rain. If there is no wall separation between the door and the window, consider installing a ceiling light on the top of the balcony. Believe that the balcony against the background of the lights will be very beautiful at night.
