The property law stipulates whether the balcony can be changed into a kitchen.

The transformation of balcony into kitchen is conditional in the actual operation process, and not any balcony can be transformed into kitchen. First of all, we need to consider whether the apartment has the conditions for transformation. The conditions for the balcony to transform the kitchen mainly include: whether the balcony has water supply and drainage conditions and whether it is feasible to transform the flue. But the most basic transformation is whether the balcony is adjacent to or connected to the kitchen.

1, should have water conditions.

The sewer of the balcony is directly connected with the drainage pipe of the kitchen; Or the sewage from the balcony is connected to the pipe well. Water supply condition means that when the kitchen is adjacent to and connected to the balcony, if these two conditions are met, the line leading the kitchen water pipe to the balcony can be designed in advance.

2. Is it feasible to reform the smoke exhaust duct?

Balcony reconstruction can't change the gas pipeline without permission, because you must contact the gas company to change the gas pipeline. Under normal circumstances, the gas pipeline can be rerouted, but the transformation must be laid with exposed pipes, and the concealed works can never be implemented. Therefore, if the balcony transforms the kitchen, you should get in touch with the gas company in advance.

When decorating, we should first pay attention to the laying of tiles. The original wall must be cleaned up, so that the wall tiles can be pasted firmly. Otherwise, sticking bricks on the untreated wall will easily lead to a large area of hollowing, which will not only affect the appearance, but also hinder the daily cleaning of tiles. Followed by waterproof treatment. After the balcony is transformed into a kitchen, in order to avoid neighborhood disputes caused by careless running and water leakage, it is necessary to waterproof the ground.

Matters needing attention in transformation

1, first confirm whether this transformation is appropriate, reasonable or even legal.

The first thing to determine is whether it is legal to change the balcony into a kitchen. Because many owners will tear down and change their own buildings during the renovation process, but they don't know that such behavior is illegal, they need to obtain the consent of the property before designing the specific matters of changing the balcony into a kitchen. In addition, some balconies will have facilities such as gas pipelines. Because these facilities are public facilities, the owners are not allowed to change them privately. The specific modification method is also solved by professional gas pipeline modification personnel, so it is very important to determine whether it is legal before modification.

2. Is the balcony load-bearing?

Balcony is an extension of residential buildings, and there is no living room and bedroom with load-bearing walls. However, in the process of renovation, many renovation projects are unreasonable. Generally, the bearing capacity of balcony is limited, so we should budget the weight of decoration materials in advance in the process of decorating balcony.

3. The load-bearing wall cannot be easily moved.

Some houses are old or second-hand houses instead of new ones. For the balcony of an old house, the load-bearing wall must not be changed. Due to the design and construction principle of the old house, the load-bearing wall determines the structural stability of the whole balcony, and once it is demolished, it will cause serious security risks. When the balcony is used to transform the kitchen, experts suggest that the load-bearing wall can be paved with tiles and countertops, but it should not be removed.

4. As a balcony kitchen, does it affect indoor lighting?

Generally, the balcony and the living room are connected together. If the balcony is transformed into a kitchen, there will be many large pieces and various baffle cabinets on the balcony. Whether these things will affect the light in the room should be considered. The range hood in the kitchen is also a relatively heavy item. Since the installation of the range hood may affect the indoor light, it is also an option to install an exhaust fan on the window. However, the installation of exhaust fans may cause disputes because of the influence of lampblack on the living environment of neighbors, and cleaning is also more troublesome.
