The disadvantage of balcony French windows is that the French windows installed indoors are bright and transparent, which can increase the indoor light, so they are very popular in our home decoration. But some families don't have French windows. In fact, there are some shortcomings. The following are the disadvantages of balcony French windows.
Disadvantages of balcony French windows 1 Why don't you live in a house with French windows?
1. Many people ignore safety when installing French windows. Floor-to-ceiling windows have many potential safety problems. Therefore, when installing floor-to-ceiling windows, we must negotiate with the property in advance. If the balcony has poor load-bearing performance, it is not recommended to install floor-to-ceiling windows. Because the floor-to-ceiling windows need to be removed before installation, the safety of the balcony will be reduced. Without the protection of this guardrail, cracks may appear on the balcony.
2. In addition, the main material used in the decoration of French windows is glass, which is not as stable as the wall. If we live in a place with bad weather conditions, such as the south where there are more rainy days, the whole house will become damp and the indoor moisture will not be discharged.
3. The last one is to clean up the problem. French windows are easy to get dirty, not only the dust brought by the wind, but also the water stains brought by the rain, which will stay on them for a long time. If you don't clean it, it will be dirty, and the height of French windows is usually as high as several meters. You need tools to get to the French window when cleaning, so you won't waste time when cleaning. Therefore, it is best not to install French windows on the balcony, which is a time-consuming and laborious thing.
Advantages of French windows
1, the decoration is graded.
French windows can increase the width of the space, the scenery outside the window is unobstructed, and the indoor and outdoor scenes blend, making the room very rich in content and more high-end atmosphere.
2. Good lighting and ventilation
Another advantage of floor-to-ceiling windows is good lighting effect. Install floor-to-ceiling windows to maintain sufficient light and bright and transparent indoor environment even indoors.
Disadvantages of French windows
1, poor thermal insulation performance.
40% of building energy is emitted through doors and windows, and the floor-to-ceiling windows have large area and fast heat dissipation, which leads to very serious energy consumption.
2. Lack of privacy and security.
Because of the good permeability of glass, it is easy to be peeked at in life, which makes people feel uneasy. At the same time, the texture of the glass material is also disturbing.
3, the cost is high
It usually takes thousands of square meters to build French windows and hundreds of square meters to build walls, which is a bit expensive for us ordinary people.
4, poor sound insulation effect
The sound insulation effect of floor-to-ceiling windows is poor, which will make external noise interfere with you, so if the sleep quality is not good, it is best not to install this window type, and the sound insulation effect is difficult to guarantee.
5, it is difficult to clean up
Disadvantages of balcony floor-to-ceiling windows II. First of all, it needs a solid thing to resist the wind and rain.
First of all, French windows almost occupy a wall. This pattern violates the foot-cutting evil spirit in traditional geomantic omen. In modern geomantic omen, what is empty and low is called water. In stormy weather, only relying on glass to resist will give people a feeling of insecurity and anxiety. The meaning of home is safety, stability, practicality and warmth. Therefore, French windows are more likely to damage the wealth and health of families.
Second, many glass walls reflect light easily, causing light.
Although lighting is very important, too strong light can also form a light evil spirit. Light is a kind of light pollution. Some commercial office buildings make the whole building into a glass wall style to reflect the sense of fashion and modernity. In such a building, when the sun is strong, there will be problems of light and evil. If the house is reflected by the opposite glass wall all day, it will cause sunlight, which will affect work and life, and this kind of light will also disturb the environmental atmosphere.
Third, the bedroom lighting should not be exaggerated.
In feng shui, the best environment is the coordination of yin and yang. If the bedroom is a French window, it will form light. Indoor sunlight is direct, the light is too strong, and it is too dim to cover the light directly with curtains. Therefore, the bedroom needs to balance the light, so as not to produce light, so as to coordinate yin and yang. The light of floor-to-ceiling windows is often too strong, which is easy to touch the problem of feng shui. Only when the size of the window is in proportion can it meet the requirements of feng shui and ventilation and lighting.
Fourth, the balcony floor-to-ceiling glass is easy to feel hollow under your feet.
Some buildings connect bedrooms, living rooms and balconies. Although this can make the lighting area much larger and increase the viewing effect, if the balcony is a vertical floor-to-ceiling window, it will destroy the feng shui pattern, make the occupants' feet empty and create the illusion that they may be peeped at any time. Different from public places, families need a certain degree of privacy, so this dress is not suitable for use at home.
Disadvantages of balcony French window 3 Benefits of balcony French window design
First, good lighting. The biggest advantage of French windows is actually the lighting problem. Especially in high-rise buildings, lighting itself has problems. If you install French windows, you can expand the lighting area, so that the house will feel very bright and have a long lighting time during the day, especially in winter. Sunbathing through the balcony glass at home is not pleasant.
Second, it looks more upscale. Compared with ordinary windows, floor-to-ceiling windows have a very obvious feature, that is, the whole piece of large glass falls directly to the ground, giving people a very atmospheric feeling, and the design of floor-to-ceiling windows is generally more exquisite and looks more upscale, which will upgrade the whole home and bring a different atmosphere and breath to a home. It can be said that it is the finishing touch.
Third, the view is wide, because the French window is a large piece of glass that falls directly to the ground, so the view is quite wide. Through the French window, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window. Of course, this kind of scenery has a lot to do with where you live. If the scenery outside the window is quite good, then the French window is definitely a kind of enjoyment, and it is also a very good choice to enjoy the beautiful scenery directly every day.
Disadvantages of balcony as floor-to-ceiling window design
First, safety, the French window is a whole piece of glass. Generally speaking, the larger the area of glass, the stronger the tension, and the greater the risk of being broken. Although the material of floor-to-ceiling windows is relatively strong at present, there will be no problem in general, but it may be damaged if it encounters strong convective weather, such as typhoon weather. Think about living in a tall building and then the French window will break. How terrible.
The second is privacy. Since the French window has good lighting, it will also bring corresponding problems, that is, poor privacy. If you want lighting, it means you can't draw the curtains. The whole floor-to-ceiling window is directly connected with the outside world. Not only can you see the scenery outside, but people outside can also see the situation inside the house. This kind of situation will be leaked at the top. If you live on the lower floor, the problem is even bigger, and the neighbors in the community can see it when they walk.
Whether ordinary family decoration is suitable for French window design depends on certain conditions such as apartment type, environment and floor. Generally speaking, there are advantages and disadvantages. You can't kill French windows with one stick. Everything is like this. There are advantages and disadvantages, and we need to consider how to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses.
