1. Safety: After the balcony is sealed, the house has an extra layer of protection. When public security can't reach the level of not closing the door at night, an extra layer of protection will set obstacles for criminals and play a preventive role.
2. Hygiene: After the balcony is closed, a layer of windows is added to block the dust, which is conducive to blocking the invasion of sand, dust and rain. Indoor sanitation is better than a room without a balcony.
3. Broaden the design ideas. After the balcony is closed, the same indoor space can be integrated by moving the door to the window, which is conducive to overall consideration in the design, especially in the design of irregular rooms, the balcony should be closed and the irregular space should be designed as a whole!
4. Expand the scope of use. In the case of tight living conditions, the closed balcony can be used as a space for writing, reading, storage, fitness and exercise, and also as a living space. Compared with when the balcony is not sealed, the use forms are more diverse, which increases the use area of the room.
Disadvantages of closed balcony:
1. Balcony should be a place where people can bear the sunshine directly. People can sunbathe and dry clothes on the balcony. Through sunlight irradiation, vitamin D in human body can be increased, which is beneficial to the normal development and health of bones and prevents infants from suffering from rickets.
Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can kill all kinds of bacteria and viruses in clothes and bedding. If the balcony is enclosed with windows, it will affect the ultraviolet rays entering the room. According to research, a layer of clean window glass can reflect and absorb 60-65% ultraviolet rays.
2. After the balcony is closed, it will cause poor indoor ventilation. The dirty air in the room (including carbon dioxide produced by human breathing, cooking oil fume and smoke produced by smoking, etc.). ), bacteria and viruses in the air and indoor floating dust are not easy to discharge. In this way, there will be various smells in the room. Being in such an environment for a long time will not only make you dizzy and swollen, but also easily reduce your body's resistance and easily suffer from respiratory infectious diseases or other diseases.
3. The reason why the building has a balcony is to let people living in the building have a place for outdoor activities, increase the chances of getting in touch with nature and avoid the psychological obstacles caused by living in the building for a long time. If the balcony is closed and turned into a storage room, the use function of the balcony will disappear.
4. Many families still don't understand that the structural stress of balcony and house itself is different. At present, most balconies adopt cantilever structure, and the influence of other special loads is not considered in the design, so the bearing capacity is limited. If the balcony is closed and used as a storage room or living room, the load exceeds the bearing standard, which is easy to cause danger and accidents.
