In many foreign house buildings, we can find that in order to pursue superior lighting and ventilation conditions, their balconies are rarely closed. But if you don't seal the balcony, won't the interior become a stove in the hot summer? This is where the folding grille barrier comes in handy.
It is actually very practical to make a folding grille outside the balcony.
(1) The most direct advantage is the shade of the sun, especially in the summer outdoor light is fierce, there is such a grid barrier can filter the light very well, so that the light becomes less dazzling; and if the balcony does a home economics area, you can also protect the cabinet and washing machine from being damaged by the sun.
(2) While achieving the purpose of shading, it will not affect the indoor lighting, and it can also maintain the privacy of the interior. It is very convenient to fold the grille when you want to enjoy the outdoor scenery.
The folding design is electrically operated, so there is no need to worry about how to deal with its opening and closing problems.
If you feel that the gap in the grille is a little large, and you want to have a stronger shading effect, you can consider using a porous material such as a FRP grating. Compared to the grille-style visor, the excellent shading effect of this porous material can be clearly seen. The gaps are fine and numerous, which can block the external light very well, and at the same time, it will not hinder the penetration of light.
And this FRP material will have a longer service life, compared to other materials, it is more resistant to high temperatures, not afraid of wind and rain. Brush the anti-corrosion coating on it before installation, and it will not be a problem to use it for twenty years.
The application of grilles is not limited to balconies. If the family house is a detached house such as a single-family villa, the open-air functional area such as a garage and a small garden can use this style of grille board for shading, which plays a certain protective effect.
Although this design is common in foreign countries, it is not very suitable for domestic residences.
First of all, most of the houses in our domestic cities are in the form of residential areas, if you add such a grille to the outside of your balcony, it will be difficult to do on the property side. Most of the foreign countries are in the form of single-family, and the balconies are basically unsealed, so the transformation of the house is less restricted.
And if we want to make the balcony want to achieve the effect of shading, glass window + blackout curtain can perfectly solve the problem, installation is simple and cheap. Think the blackout cloth is not good-looking, then press a Shangri-La curtain, as if to add a layer of filter to the sun, is not much more practical than the folding grille?
In either way, it is still necessary to shade the balcony, after all, tanning is not divided into indoor or outdoor, and sun protection treatment is crucial for the house. (Image from the Internet)
