Buying a small apartment has to change the balcony into a kitchen, and cooking is discovered by the property, which is a tragedy.

There are many places to pay attention to in the decoration of small-sized houses. When my home was renovated, I thought about changing the balcony into a kitchen because I bought a small apartment, but I was complained by my neighbors before cooking, and the property came to me. Now many friends pay more attention to buying a house. Many friends can consider buying a small apartment, so the overall house price will be relatively cheaper. However, buying a small apartment is actually inconvenient for family life. Buying a small apartment had to change the balcony into a kitchen, and cooking was found by the property. This is a tragedy. Let me introduce you to let you know about the decoration of my home.

First of all, let's take a look at the decoration of my home.

Anyway, buying a small house is enough. Because I don't have enough money, but I have to consider the children's schooling, so choosing a house has many limitations. I didn't think much when I bought a house, so my house is not big, and the layout is not very good. The bedroom of the house is relatively small, and the living room and balcony are relatively large, so my wife has been considering changing the location of the kitchen and balcony. Does the daughter-in-law have to change the balcony to? Kitchen? Once cooking was discovered by the property, and now I only dare to order takeout!

Many owners of our whole building start to decorate at the same time, which is better, to avoid some people living in it, while others are still decorating, it will be very noisy. My wife will move the kitchen to the balcony when my home is renovated, although this method has been seen in the old community before.

So I didn't stop her from thinking. I just thought it was more troublesome and unnecessary. Later, after my wife moved the kitchen to the balcony, the neighbors downstairs heard the balcony loud and ran over to tell our family that the balcony itself was used to dry clothes. Changing our balcony into a kitchen will have a certain impact on their lives and bring us a lot of trouble in the future, but my wife won't listen.

After the renovation, we cooked a meal at home. As a result, the neighbors immediately came to the door, and later the property manager came to deal with the problem.

I didn't expect these things to be so big. Later, I learned that our house is a convex balcony, so the balcony itself has poor bearing capacity. It is ok to hang clothes and put some small things on the balcony, but the kitchen cabinets and other items are still very heavy, which will have a great impact on the structure of the house. Even if I buy a range hood again, I can't smoke it all.

Second, what is the bearing standard of the balcony?

Balcony bearing capacity is generally judged according to balcony live load. According to the national building code, the balcony live load is generally 2.5KN/m2, that is to say, it can bear 250 kilograms per square meter, which is referred to as live load or variable load. It is the use or occupation load and natural load imposed on the structure caused by people, materials and vehicles.

In addition, the bearing capacity of balcony should be considered in many cases, for example, the bearing capacity of frame structure and brick-concrete structure is different, and the bearing capacity of cantilever balcony and concave balcony is also different. If it is a concave balcony with frame structure, it has the same bearing capacity as the indoor ground. The other is how much the balcony floats out. The more you float out, the less you bear, and vice versa. Combined with the mechanics principle, it is necessary to calculate the cross-sectional area and angle of the balcony bottom beam.

Through observation, many people around will grow flowers and vegetables on their balconies, which is both entertaining and rewarding, but it must be on the premise of ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the house.

Third, what should I pay attention to in balcony decoration?

Now most newly-built commercial houses will have 2-3 balconies, so we need to distinguish which is the main balcony and which is the sub-balcony when decorating, and understand the main functions of each balcony. The balcony usually connected with the living room or master bedroom is the main balcony, whose main function is to relax and exercise and have afternoon tea. Regarding how to decorate the balcony, the floor decoration materials of this type of balcony should be consistent with the living room or master bedroom. The living room is generally connected with the kitchen or the second bedroom, and its main function is to dry clothes and store things, so it can be simpler when decorating.

Balcony packaging quality is the focus of balcony decoration. We need to pay attention to the wind resistance of the balcony, so the installation needs to be firm, so it needs to be sealed, otherwise the air leakage will be useless. The lower opening of balcony window sash is the easiest to leak water, so it is usually necessary to leave a gap of 2CM under the window frame, and then the user needs special sealant or cement to block it. If there is a windowsill, it needs to be made into a running slope

When decorating the balcony, we should also pay attention to the safety of the balcony. The balcony is basically not designed for bearing, and the bearing capacity of the balcony cannot exceed 400KG per square meter. So when decorating the balcony, we need to know the bearing capacity of the balcony. When decorating and storing things, you can't exceed its load, and you can't place overweight furniture, otherwise there will be certain security risks. Usually, there is a wall between the balcony and the bedroom. This wall usually exists as a counterweight wall, so it is determined that it cannot be demolished. It plays a certain supporting role for the balcony. If the wall is demolished, it will affect the safety of the balcony and even collapse.

If you want to transform the balcony into a kitchen, it is very risky, so you must pay attention to the method when decorating. Houses built by developers generally have their own functions. If the balcony is forcibly transformed, it will inevitably destroy the overall building structure of the house, so the property department must be consulted before renovation.
