Pay attention to this 10 point when putting the washing machine cabinet on the balcony!
When decorating a new house, many families will choose to put the washing machine on the balcony. In order to be neat and beautiful, and to increase the storage space, we will choose to install a laundry cabinet. Especially for small families, laundry cabinets have the functions of storage, laundry and ironing. Today, Yi Xi Shi Jia will talk to you about balcony laundry cabinets. Decoration is a meticulous work, so is the arrangement of laundry cabinets. If you don't pay attention, you will regret it. If you plan to decorate a laundry cabinet on the balcony, you must pay attention to this 10 point. 1, the washing machine should be placed in the east. Washing machines are usually placed on both sides of the balcony. It is best to put it in the east of the room according to the apartment type, so that curtains can be drawn to avoid sunlight. It is not recommended to put it in the northwest and southwest, which will have a negative impact on family health. 2, the washing machine needs to block the balcony is the biggest yang entrance, and the washing machine is an electrical appliance belonging to fire. If directly exposed to the sun, it will increase the heat of yang, make it too hot and dry, affect family relations, easily quarrel and damage the machine. So put a cover around the washing machine or make a cabinet on it. 3. The balcony should be waterproof. The washing machine is very damp. If it is not waterproof, the washing machine is placed on the balcony, which is likely to cause water leakage on the balcony. After a long time, it will bury hidden dangers for the bearing capacity of the balcony. 4. Stay away from the crowd. There is a lot of noise when the washing machine is running. It is recommended not to put it on the bedroom balcony, which will affect people's sleep and spirit and make people feel tired and irritable. Although the balcony of the living room is good, it should also be soundproof, because the living room is used to entertain guests, and excessive noise will make the communication environment noisy. 5. The height of the drain pipe of the drainage washing machine is generally 80- 120 cm above the ground, which can prevent the water from entering while draining. And when washing clothes, try to use laundry detergent with less foam, because the drainage pump may not pump out foam, thus causing secondary pollution to the washing machine. In addition, in order to avoid poor drainage, the drainage pipe of the lower drainage washing machine is generally placed at a distance of 10cm from the ground. 6, ventilated sunscreen washing machine in daily use will have water vapor accumulated inside, so keep the balcony ventilated to avoid breeding bacteria. The washing machine should avoid exposure to the sun, otherwise it will greatly shorten the service life of the washing machine. It is best to cover it with a washing machine cover after use. 7. Water flow and floor drain come from the water supply and drainage problems of the washing machine. When placing the washing machine, we should first consider the water inlet and water outlet connected to it to see if these two positions have been completed. There must also be faucets and sewers, and it is best to place floor drains to better discharge sewage. When designing the inlet and outlet pipes of the balcony, set them as close as possible to the washing machine. 8. Setting of the socket The position of the socket should be set at the height that the washing machine can reach, but it should not be too low to avoid splashing water when using it. (Note: the length of the power cord of the washing machine is between 1 ~ 2m) There is another important problem. We must put the safety device of the power socket in place to prevent leakage. In addition, the socket should have an on-off switch because rain may blow in from the balcony. 9. It is best to choose an integrated basin or a basin under the table for the sink of the integrated basin laundry cabinet. When washing clothes, it is inevitable that water and laundry detergent will splash around. If it is a basin on the table, it is not easy to clean, leaving a sanitary corner. 10, balcony hanging cabinets and clothes hangers Most of the washing machine cabinets on the balcony of the family can be used as hanging cabinets. In order to accommodate them, we must pay attention to the cooperation between the overhead hanger and the door of the hanging cabinet, otherwise it will cause bumping or later failure to open it. Note that there is no conflict between the clothes rack and the hanging cabinet. Even if it is lowered, the distance between the clothes rack and the hanging cabinet is reserved, and it must be coordinated when decorating. Otherwise, it will easily cause problems in later use. Installing a laundry cabinet on the balcony is not only practical, but also neat and beautiful. Don't ignore the above 10 score. Small details are big failures, and you will know that there are many problems after using them.
