It's a pity to buy a balcony at a high price, but if it's all open, it's really unsafe on a rainy day, what should I do?
I accidentally discovered the balcony design of the neighbor's house next door, and I suddenly realized: it turned out that the balcony could still be sealed like this, which was really witty, and I had a beautiful double balcony all of a sudden.

How to seal half of the balcony and leave half of it?
As long as your balcony is long enough, you can seal half of the balcony and keep the other half open, so that the balcony can be "multi-purpose", and it looks very chic.
However, it is important to be clear that it needs to be a long balcony!
The long balcony is divided into two, half of the window is closed and half is open, and the open position can be used to dry clothes and plant flowers, after all, flowers and plants need sunlight to grow better, and also ensure the ventilation and lighting of the home.
The other half is sealed with a broken bridge aluminum window, and it can also be connected to the living room, and the indoor space becomes open in an instant, and the tiles are paved through, which is strong and atmospheric, and also increases the usable area.
In the middle, the open balcony and the closed balcony can be separated by a glass door, which is not only simple and beautiful, but also ensures that the indoor temperature is not affected by the outside world as much as possible, and the privacy of the space is also enhanced.
In addition, if the whole balcony is connected from the living room to the second bedroom, if you want to make the bedroom have a more independent space, you can choose a sliding door or a partition wall, so that it will not affect the lighting of the bedroom, and the concealment will be better.
Moreover, the small balcony in the bedroom can also increase the functional space, such as making a small study, a dressing room, or a small tea room, and the open one on the other side will not be affected.
However, balcony decoration, one point is particularly important, we must do a good job of rainproof and waterproof treatment, in addition to doing floor drains, building platforms, but also to do water retaining stones or water curtains, so that the waterproof effect will be better.
But. There are also prerequisites for double balconies, that is, at least the length of the balcony reaches more than 4 meters, otherwise the overall space will appear smaller, and the area of both areas is too narrow, which reduces the quality of living and makes people feel more depressed.
In fact, many large balconies are 7-8 meters long, so if all the balconies are repackaged, the cost is relatively higher, after all, more materials are consumed, and the construction cost is higher.
The scheme of sealing half and leaving half can not only save costs, but also choose the right design style according to your own needs, which is not only economical and more comfortable to live in.
However, be warned, if you also fancy this kind of design, don't rush to choose materials, first ask the property in advance, whether it can be renovated, don't renovate it only to learn that it is not allowed, the result is laborious and costly, and the gains outweigh the losses!

Small balconies can also be opened and closed
If the balcony area is small and the length does not meet the requirements mentioned above, but you want to have double balconies, it is not impossible to work the selection of doors and windows to seal the balcony.
When decorating, the façade can not be changed too much, such as some uniform window openings and window frame colors, etc., but there can be some changes to the style of window installation.
1. Heavy-duty sliding window
The design of the heavy-duty sliding window allows for a large opening area, and the sliding door panel glides smoothly on the rails, eliminating the need for additional space for opening and closing operations. Once pushed away, the view is unobstructed, while maintaining smooth ventilation and avoiding suffocation.
Moreover, the production cost of the sliding window is not so high, which is not only convenient and breathable, but also has good lighting. The point is that the sliding window does not take up space, and it will not bump into the window at home.
Note that in order to ensure safety and stability, if your home is a low floor, a profile thickness of 1.6 mm is fine, but if your home is a high floor, the profile wall thickness must be more than 2.0 mm. The other security performance can also be assured, there is a safety lock.
2. Electric windproof roller shutter
Electric windproof roller blinds are very suitable for some situations in the south where window sealing is not allowed. It is driven by a motor and operated by remote control, switch or mobile APP, which is very convenient.
The height can be adjusted freely, sunlight and line of sight can be flexibly adjusted, and the closed balcony and open balcony can be switched at will, which is very practical.
Moreover, windproof roller blinds can not only block mosquitoes, shade and heat insulation, ventilation, but also prevent wind, rain and dust, and are also very flexible to use.
However, it is important to note that remember to reserve power outlets on the balcony.
3. Folding window
Folding windows have been very popular in the past two years, and they can be moved to the side without taking up balcony space. The feeling of being fully open, airy and bright. Like curtains, they are pulled aside when not in use, as if the balcony is not sealed.
Moreover, folding windows also have excellent thermal insulation, cold and heat insulation, moisture-proof, sound insulation, noise reduction performance, the key is that folding protective windows have excellent anti-theft performance due to their unique materials and structural design.
Many people may be worried about mosquitoes, but in fact it is the same as a normal window, and a screen can be installed. Open the window, if there are freshly washed clothes in the room, you can also speed up the drying speed, and there will be no moisture in the house, the appearance is high and practical, and the indoor ventilation is also ensured.
4. a lifting window
The smart lift window is suitable for all types of houses, especially for residences on higher floors, because it can be controlled remotely and avoids the inconvenience of manual operation.
Rising up is a closed balcony, and down is a glass guardrail, which not only has a good view effect, but also meets the daily ventilation needs, and can be used with electric screens.
Moreover, the lifting window itself is intelligent, which can be opened with one key with remote control, as well as an infrared sensing system, anti-pinch hand design, etc., which is very intelligent.
As for the price, it is relatively high, and those with a budget can try it and experience the excellent view and high-tech feeling.
In short, what kind of balcony you want and what kind of effect you want the balcony to present can be created according to your own needs. But in the end, it's a sentence: think about it before you start!
