Can I smash half the balcony when I decorate the house?

When the house is decorated, half of the balcony wall should not be smashed, especially the lower part of the window wall, because it is a load-bearing wall and can support the gravity of the whole balcony. If removed, it will easily affect the bearing effect of the balcony and increase the risk factor, which is unsightly. If you want to smash half of the balcony wall of the community, the property company will not allow it.

What are the precautions for balcony decoration?

1, it is best not to make a ceiling: although the balcony area is not large, housewives still like to put rattan chairs, flowers and other decorations on the balcony, and then hang clothes and do housework at ordinary times. There is absolutely little extra space left on the balcony, so try not to make a ceiling on the balcony. Although fake beams and grape vines look good, they will cause a sense of oppression on the balcony.

2. Waterproofing: If it is not the first floor, it is very important to waterproof the countertop, so as to avoid the trouble of flooding; Even on the first floor, we should pay attention to waterproofing, otherwise the ground will sink due to flooding, and it will be troublesome. In addition, if the balcony is equipped with windows, the balcony window decoration needs additional window frames and windows to ensure the sealing of the gaps after installation.

3, pay attention to material selection: balcony decoration materials are generally based on household preferences, choose different types of stone or tile for paving. What needs to be emphasized here is that the material of the windowsill should also be stone as far as possible, because stone is waterproof than wood and will not rot and crack after long-term sun exposure.

4, reasonable equipped with floor drain bucket: balcony floor drain should choose excellent quality products, because the wind and rain flooded, will not rot quickly. For owners who like to play with flowers and plants on the balcony, in addition to reserving a floor drain, they should also remember to install a "bucket", which is much more convenient for cleaning and watering at ordinary times.

5. Grasp the "slope" when tiling: Generally, balconies are tiled, so the "slope" of tiling must not be ignored. It is necessary to ensure that the "flowing water" of the balcony can smoothly enter the floor drain, so as to avoid the "backflow" of water to the living room or bedroom or study due to insufficient "slope". In addition, in the overall decoration layout, the balcony is two or three centimeters lower than the height difference of the living room or other rooms, so that even if there is water on the balcony, it will not flood the living room or study.

6, carefully choose furniture: balcony furniture is best to choose furniture that is waterproof and not easy to deform. Stainless steel metal furniture can withstand outdoor wind and rain, and its style is modern and concise, which is the choice of many people. The choice of other furniture is also this principle, waterproof, sunscreen and windproof. According to the size of the balcony. Or make storage cabinets, or put easy chairs, or put beautiful small tables and chairs, or put sofas, or decorate more atmospheric furniture, all of which are dominated by the owner's love.

7. Install curtains properly: Generally, balconies are decorated with glass for "light transmission", especially in summer, a large area of glass will lead to an increase in indoor temperature, so pay attention to seasonal changes, install curtains properly, or install sun-resistant curtains that are not easy to fade and damage.

8. Don't change the original building structure at will: pay attention to protect the load-bearing side wall, and don't change the side wall of the balcony at will. The side wall of the balcony often plays the role of wind resistance and load bearing, which will bring great security risks if it is tampered with. If you really want to change, you must ask the professional decoration company and property permission.

9. Choose high-quality clothes racks: install clothes racks on the balcony safely and firmly, and try to avoid the danger caused by the falling of clothes poles.

10. Proper installation of lamps: if it is an open balcony, the lamps in the balcony should also have waterproof function. Try to install it in a place where rain is not easy to drench, which can prolong the service life of the lamp and, more importantly, avoid the risk of electric leakage. For some "exterior balconies", exterior paint will be used as the wall paint of balconies, and special outdoor lighting such as wall lamps or lawn lamps will be used as lighting.
