Demolition? Won't you open it? Balcony guardrail. What did you do? The grandfather who made the guardrail actually said so!

I bought my favorite house and began to decorate it. Now most owners will choose to close the balcony, but some developers install guardrails that are really ugly and of poor quality. The most important thing is that it will take up a lot of balcony space. Can you remove it? When buying a new house for acceptance, we will find that the developer will install guardrails on the balcony, which is a kind of safety guarantee. However, in order to complete the task and cope with the inspection, some developers installed guardrails with ugly and poor quality, and most families will choose to close the balcony when decorating, so they want to remove the guardrails because it will hinder the place. But some people think that it can't be removed, so can the guardrail of the balcony be removed?

One: Close the balcony

If your balcony is closed, the railing can be removed. If it is not removed, it will greatly affect the installation of balcony windows. Moreover, the enclosed balcony does not need to consider additional safety issues, and the railings are dispensable.

If your house is a closed balcony, it is necessary to remind everyone that the wall thickness of the profile used to close the balcony should be greater than 1.2cm, and the glass should be double-layered hollow tempered glass.

Two: open balcony

If your home is going to be an open balcony, then the railing of the balcony must not be removed. Because the open balcony only has railings as protective barriers, once removed, there will be security risks.

Three: Which guardrails can be removed?

There is actually a way to judge whether the balcony guardrail needs to be removed:

1. Iron railings are still being removed.

Some developers will paint balconies with iron railings in order to save costs. Although the height and width meet the safety standards of the balcony, the iron railings are easy to rust after a long time, so it is better to remove them as soon as possible.

2. If the height is less than 1. 1m, it should be removed.

Some railings are less than 1. 1 m in height for decoration, which does not play any safety role. It is also recommended to remove such railings and install safety fences later.

Four: What if it can't be removed?

Some residential properties are not allowed to remove guardrails, but these guardrails do bring trouble to cleaning. At this point, you can do the following:

1. Shading method: This is the simplest method. When sealing the balcony, you can directly seal the railing with plates and stones, or you can make a gauze curtain here. My house is sealed with stones. It looks beautiful and safe at the same time.

2. Only remove the glass: the guardrail cannot be removed, but the glass can. You can directly remove the laminated glass, and then install an anti-theft net on or inside the original railing.

Five: Which balcony guardrails should not be removed?

According to the relevant regulations of our country, the floor-to-ceiling windows or bay windows must be equipped with guardrails, otherwise they cannot be safely accepted. Therefore, for high-rise residents, if the developer has installed the guardrail, it cannot be removed according to the regulations. If they don't like the installed guardrail, residents can replace it according to their own preferences.

If you have children at home, you should pay special attention. If the casement window is used when the balcony is closed, the guardrail is particularly important at this time, because the child's active nature is there, and unimaginable accidents may occur if he is not careful. In recent years, there have been reports of children falling from tall buildings. In order to reduce the fall accidents caused by climbing, the guardrail is not removed.

The glass of the high-rise balcony was installed by the developer, so you don't know whether the glass is strong or not, because I have heard of such a thing. A colleague of the unit used too much force when opening the window, and the whole person broke the glass. It's dangerous anyway. After all, it is a high-rise building. With any luck, something may happen. For safety reasons, it is best not to open it.

According to the above, we know that the original fence can be removed, but it should be selected according to the actual situation of the community. Finally, remind everyone that if there are old people and children at home, don't tear down the guardrail. After all, compared with safety, beauty is negligible. I hope the above will help everyone.
