Some people say that you can't install French windows. Is it true?/You don't say. What problems should I pay attention to when installing French windows?

A friend who is engaged in decoration told me that French windows just look beautiful, and it is definitely a pity to really use them.

Advantages of installing French windows

First, good lighting. The biggest advantage of floor-to-ceiling windows is actually the problem of lighting, especially for high-rise buildings, lighting itself has problems. If you install floor-to-ceiling windows, you can expand the lighting area, so that the house will feel very bright, the lighting time will be long during the day, and it is more convenient to hang clothes. This is the biggest advantage.

Second, it looks more upscale. Compared with ordinary windows, floor-to-ceiling windows have a very obvious feature, that is, the whole large glass directly falls to the ground, giving people a very atmospheric feeling, and the design of floor-to-ceiling windows is generally more exquisite, which will appear more upscale and refined, and will upgrade the whole family and bring a different atmosphere and breath to a family, which can be said to be the finishing touch.

The third is a broad vision. Because the French window is a large piece of glass that falls directly to the ground, it is quite open. Through the French window, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window. Of course, this kind of scenery has a lot to do with where you live. If the scenery outside the window is quite good, then the French window is definitely a kind of enjoyment, and it is also a very good choice to enjoy the beautiful scenery directly every day.

Disadvantages of French windows

1. Safety hazard: The safety factor of floor-to-ceiling windows is lower than that of the wall by directly installing glass on the ground. Moreover, in order to make the French window more beautiful, it is necessary to minimize the cutting of the glass surface and choose a whole piece of large glass. If the data is aging, defective or defective in construction, the floor-to-ceiling windows are easily broken under the action of external force.

2. Privacy: Because the floor-to-ceiling windows are completely transparent and have a large laying area, although it is convenient for the owners to enjoy the outdoor beauty, it is difficult to guarantee privacy and the indoor environment is unobstructed.

3. Poor heat insulation effect: large floor-to-ceiling windows with excellent permeability and excellent lighting. However, when the sun shines directly, the performance of the glass itself will lead to more heat entering the room, which will increase the indoor temperature. If the indoor ventilation is poor, it will be as hot as a sauna.

4. Poor ventilation effect: Closed floor-to-ceiling windows are generally only used for viewing, so there is usually no window that can be opened, which can not be ventilated, resulting in a closed room, and indoor air circulation can only be achieved by fresh air system.

In a word, not every apartment is suitable for French windows, and there are still many apartments that are not suitable for French windows. Moreover, according to the structure and planning, sometimes the balcony can't be removed and needs specific analysis.

Of course, if you want to change the balcony into a French window, you must confirm it in writing with the sales staff and the property before buying a house, and confirm it in writing with the property when closing the house.
