The typhoon was powerful and long-lasting, with maximum winds of up to 16 levels!
▲Network pictures
The map shows the incident is Yuhuan Canmen Blue Bay International, a neighborhood facing the sea, which suffered a heavy blow in the disaster.
▲The balcony was "blown away"
The typhoon has caused a similar phenomenon over the years, remember when the strongest typhoon "Moranti" swept through Xiamen in 2016?
And the 2018 typhoon "Mangosteen", high-rise sea-view room the most windy floor windows, in the twinkling of an eye the whole piece of glass was scraped away...
These examples are telling us, living in the southeast coast is vulnerable to typhoons in the region, especially the home and in the high-rise, in the windows and doors on the purchase must not be sloppy! Xiaohong this issue will talk to you about balcony window sealing.
Many people out of space utilization, health and cleanliness, security and other considerations, will choose to seal up the home balcony.
On the sealing of windows, you need to focus on the following points:
1. Profile
There are many window profiles for sealing the balcony: aluminum alloy, aluminum-wood composite, glass fiber reinforced plastic, stainless steel, frameless windows and so on.
▲Left to right for the broken bridge aluminum, aluminum alloy, plastic steel
Which, aluminum alloy is currently the more ideal and commonly used, durable, relatively inexpensive, cost-effective.
If the budget is high, broken aluminum alloy is a better choice, it is more than ordinary aluminum alloy insulation layer, and has good sound insulation and heat preservation characteristics, suitable for families with high demand for comfort.

2. Window types
There are two main types of windows: sliding windows and casement windows.
▲Left casement window, right sliding window
①? Sliding windows
Advantages:
Parallel opening and closing, will not take up indoor space;
Simple structure, inexpensive;
Window sashes are in a good state of stress, not easy to damage.
Disadvantages:
Most open half of the sash, ventilation will be affected;
Up and down only by the pulley to withstand the horizontal direction of the wind load, wind resistance is not good enough;
Sound insulation, heat preservation, and watertight, airtightness and so on are not as good as casement windows.
②? Casement windows
Advantages:
Window sash can be completely open, good ventilation performance;
Casement windows are generally sealed with sealing tape, sound insulation, heat preservation, and other aspects are better than sliding windows;
Security and good burglary resistance.
Disadvantages:
Casement windows generally use hinges (hinges) link, open the handle, the operation is not flexible enough;
Outside the window is prone to hardware deterioration and security risks;
Inside the window will take up indoor space.

3. Glass selection
Balcony window sealing is now commonly used double tempered insulating glass. The conventional glass thickness is 5mm, and 6~8mm thickened glass can be used according to demand.
▲Left to right for the laminated, triple insulating, two-layer insulating glass
The more layers of glass, the better the sound and heat insulation function will be relatively better.
It should be noted that the choice of high-level window glass is more stringent than the lower level, more than 10 layers can choose 8mm tempered glass or double insulating glass.
4. Price reference
The difference between high-end products and low-end products, mainly in raw materials, hardware, installation and after-sales service.
According to the average market price, the most common aluminum alloy profiles at least 300 a flat, hardware, glass, steel lining, labor costs, etc. are calculated, the price of good quality window sealing at least a thousand dollars up.
The focus of different families to seal the balcony is actually different, for example, high-level households will be more concerned about the wind resistance of the windows, low-level households are more concerned about anti-burglary and anti-mosquito, we need to be adapted to the needs of daily life.
Another reminder, typhoon days, we can stick on the windows of the meter tape, or in advance to find workers to strengthen the windows, can effectively enhance the security oh.
