1. Hook and lock arrangement: Beware of accidental injuries
Although hook locks are often used to carry items, placing them on balconies is a huge safety hazard. First of all, the wind on the balcony is strong, and if the hook and lock are not placed in the right place, they may be blown open by the wind, causing items to fall.
Secondly, the sharp part of the hook lock is easy to injure the human body, especially if there are children or pets at home.
Therefore, no matter how big the balcony at home is, we should avoid placing hook locks on the balcony.
2. Glass furnishings: potential safety hazards
Glassware can be a beautiful decoration, but placing it on a balcony is a potential safety hazard. First of all, balconies are susceptible to wind, which can cause the glass to sway, causing noise disturbances at the worst and breaking or even falling off the glass.
Secondly, in the event of an earthquake or other unexpected situation on the balcony, the glass products may shatter and produce sharp shards, causing harm to people and objects around them. Therefore, for the sake of home safety, we should avoid placing glass products on the balcony.
3. Flammable materials: fire hazards should not be ignored
No flammable materials should be placed in the furnishings on the balcony. Balconies are usually exposed to the outside sun and air, and the temperature is high, and if flammable items are placed, they can cause fires if they are exposed to direct sunlight or high summer temperatures.
In particular, some flammable gases or flammable liquids, such as liquefied gas tanks, gasoline, etc., should never be placed on the balcony. In addition, items that can easily cause fires, such as fireworks and lighters in the home, should also be kept away from the balcony and placed in a safe location.
4. Large appliances: obstruct ventilation and viewing
The balcony of the home should not be placed with oversized furniture or appliances. First of all, large furniture can block the entry of sunlight and air, affecting the ventilation and lighting effect of the balcony.
At the same time, oversized appliances placed on the balcony will take up too much space and limit our enjoyment of the beautiful outdoor scenery. Therefore, choosing the right size of furniture, maintaining good ventilation and viewing effect is the key to balcony layout.
Although these 4 things may seem ordinary and inconsequential, they may bring unnecessary troubles and dangers to our home life. For the safety and comfort of your family, let's keep these considerations in mind when designing our balcony layout to create a warm and safe home environment.
