Does the property have the right to remove the guardrail?

More and more people will choose to close the balcony when decorating, especially in the north. In spring and autumn, there is a big monsoon, less precipitation and more dust, for reasons of safety, sound insulation, wind and dust prevention. The property allows the community to close the balcony, which undoubtedly means that there is a small functional area at home, which improves the space utilization rate.

But for many friends who are about to seal the balcony, there is a problem that will be very tangled: generally, there are guardrails installed by developers on the balcony, so should this guardrail be demolished?

If it is not removed, it will seriously affect the appearance, but once it is removed, it will feel unsafe. Most people want to tear down the guardrail because the original guardrail is too ugly, and some houses with poor light will even affect the lighting. Then, when we close the balcony, do we need to remove the original guardrail?

Instructions for removal of balcony seal and guardrail:

Go to the property in advance to know whether the guardrail can be removed;

Generally speaking, whether the guardrail should be removed or not, the first consideration is whether it can be removed. It is recommended to find a residential property to understand the situation first. Some properties stipulate that the original railings cannot be removed. The external guardrail belongs to the public part. If there is no agreement in the purchase contract that it belongs to the owner, then you have no right to dismantle the guardrail. If the property agrees to the demolition, then we will continue to look down.

Understand the guardrail material and decide whether to dismantle it according to the demand;

Guardrails installed by developers generally include iron railings, laminated glass and aluminum alloy. If it is an iron railing, it is recommended to remove it. Iron guardrails are generally painted with a layer of paint, which is easy to rust and break after a long time, affecting the appearance and causing safety hazards. Might as well open it earlier. But if the developer installs the latter, first of all, congratulations, the developer has a conscience. Because aluminum alloy material has certain advantages, such as corrosion resistance, no rust, no fading, long service life and so on. This kind of railing has high safety performance and excellent strength and hardness. So we can consider whether to keep or remove it according to our own needs.

Check the quality of the guardrail, and the poor quality must be removed;

If the quality of the original guardrail installed by the developer is not good, you can feel the looseness of the guardrail by shaking it with your hand, then considering the potential safety hazard in the future, such guardrail must be removed.

The height of guardrail is lower than 1. 1m, so it is recommended to dismantle it:

The function of guardrail is naturally to protect the safety of residents, but some developers install railings purely for decorative effect, so that the height of guardrail can not play any protective role at all. The guardrail below 1. 1 m is suggested to be removed.

There are old people and children at home, so it is best not to tear them down;

Anyone who has children at home should know that children are born naughty. If the guardrail is removed, a piece of glass will be left on the balcony for protection, and children will be prone to accidents if they are not careful. Just because there is no fence on the window, there are endless incidents of children falling. The balcony is so big. What should I do if my child accidentally falls while playing on the balcony? Similarly, it is not recommended to remove the guardrail when there are elderly people at home.

In fact, from the perspective of safety, it is really not recommended to dismantle the guardrail unless there is a problem with its quality and height. If you want to remove the balcony guardrail because you think it is too ugly at first, you can completely remove the original guardrail and reinstall a beautiful guardrail. The guardrail is easy to dismantle, but the cost of reinstallation in the future is high and the construction is more difficult. In a word, we should think carefully when decorating.
