On the surface, the closed balcony expands the practical area of the house, which is conducive to preventing dust and dirt from entering the room and even playing a role in theft prevention. In fact, this practice is "penny wise and pound foolish", which not only violates Feng Shui-"building a car behind closed doors", but also is extremely unfavorable to human health.
1. If the balcony is sealed, it will cause poor ventilation in the room, make it difficult to keep the indoor air fresh, and reduce the oxygen content; On the other hand, the breathing, coughing and sweating of family members. It will cause human pollution indoors, and many harmful substances emitted by stoves, cooking, water heaters and other items are trapped indoors because the balcony is sealed. Living in it for a long time is easy to cause nausea, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms.
2. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can reduce the density of indoor pathogenic bacteria, while healthy people can cheer up while enjoying the sunshine, while closing the balcony can reduce indoor exposure, which not only easily leads to the spread of bacteria, but also may cause stunting and rickets in infants. So it is better to design and build an unsealed balcony.
3, hollow balcony is a taboo. Nowadays, in order to expand business opportunities, many real estate developers often use hollowed-out balconies to show European customs, so as to increase the selling point of houses. Hollow balcony is really beneficial to the ventilation and lighting of the house, but it also has some disadvantages in the pattern.
Hollow balcony violates the taboo of "empty knees" in Feng Shui. When others look at the balcony from outside, it is easy to see people below the knee in the house, which will not only lead to no privacy in the house, but also be very unfavorable to people's mental health. Therefore, the balcony should not only avoid the fence structure, but also avoid using simple flower railings to make the balcony look empty.
To achieve this effect, the most ideal way is: the lower third of the balcony is a solid wall, and the upper two-thirds is a glass window, which should be opened frequently. This will not only avoid the disadvantage of "emptiness under the knee", but also affect the geomantic omen of the house because of "closing the door of gas collection"
