With the decoration design of "whole house tile paving" becoming more and more popular, many people began to struggle whether to leave a sliding door between the balcony and the living room. The practice of not leaving the sliding door will make the decoration of the whole house more advanced and the living room more spacious, but if the sliding door is left, it can better play the role of heat insulation, sound insulation and dust prevention.
It is understandable that an open balcony must have a sliding door, but what about a closed balcony? Do you want to leave a sliding door between the balcony and the living room?
Practice of retaining sliding doors:
It is our consistent practice to keep the sliding door between the living room and the balcony. The balcony is the balcony and the living room is the living room. The two areas are divided into independent spaces, each performing its own duties and not affecting each other. The balcony is responsible for raising flowers and plants, and the living room is a space for watching TV and relaxing.
Advantages: This decoration method not only continues our usual living habits, but also makes us feel more secure. The biggest advantage is to strengthen the indoor sound insulation effect. Without this door, the temperature of the living room will inevitably be hotter in summer, and the air conditioner will have to be turned down a few degrees to feel a little cool. Similarly, in winter, the home will become colder. If the floor is heated evenly, the temperature in the living room will drop by several degrees. If you are in a downtown area or on a viaduct, you need to add an extra layer of sliding doors to isolate the noise.
Not only that, the balcony door is like a partition, which effectively isolates dust from entering the house. If you use the balcony as a drying area, you can also avoid seeing your clothes drying at first sight when you enter the door, and avoid embarrassment.
Disadvantages: If the sliding door is retained, it means that there will always be glass between the balcony and the living room, which is not enough to penetrate the atmosphere, and the units with poor lighting are more affected. Moreover, the ground rail of the sliding door often hides dirt and needs to be cleaned up. It is precisely because of the barrier of the sliding door that the space utilization rate of the balcony will be limited, and the overall aesthetics is not as good as removing the sliding door.
Do not leave the sliding door:
Nowadays, in order to make their living room look bigger, more spacious and better in lighting, many people spend a lot of money to tear down the sliding door of their hardcover room, fill in the balcony, connect the balcony with the living room, and then spread floor tiles all over the room without leaving a doorstone.
Advantages: there is no sliding door, and the balcony space is merged into the living room, which can really enlarge the living room space a lot. It is very friendly for small apartment, even the lighting has been improved a lot, and it is brighter and more transparent. Moreover, without the sliding door, the balcony space can be effectively transformed and is no longer limited by this glass door. Cleaning is also much more convenient, and sweeping robots are unimpeded at home.
Disadvantages: There is no such sliding door between the living room and the balcony, which enhances the home value and lighting, but the practicality is greatly reduced. First of all, because the balcony is merged into the living room, you should always keep it clean and tidy, otherwise it is obviously unreasonable for others to go home and see a messy balcony covered with colorful clothes as soon as they open the door.
Secondly, as mentioned above, after the sliding door is removed, both sound insulation and heat preservation and energy saving are greatly affected. It's hot in summer and cold in winter, and the check-in experience is far less than guarding the sliding door. And if it is demolished, it will inevitably cost a lot of energy and money, especially after the decision to dismantle the door. At that time, there was dust everywhere, and workers would accidentally destroy the originally installed structure at home.
