Advantages of sliding doors for balconies
Warm keeping and clean home - The glass sliding door is equivalent to an additional layer of protection. This layer of protection plays a role in keeping warm and insulating in the face of seasonal changes. Especially in cities with four distinct seasons, the key to keeping warm is to have partition doors in winter. In addition, it can avoid small wind blowing and bringing dust into the house.

Precautions for purchase of balcony sliding door
1. Material selection
First of all, the profile must be the original aluminum profile. Compared with recycled aluminum, the service life of primary aluminum profiles is long, and the strength, hardness, toughness and oxidation resistance are better. Different home spaces and floors have different requirements for wall thickness. The higher the floor is, the greater the external wind pressure is, and the higher the requirements for the thickness of the profile wall are.
2. Track selection
There are many kinds of rails for sliding doors, including flat rails, high rails, copper rails, etc. It is suggested that when the indoor level is the same as the outdoor level, the high rail can be selected to prevent rainwater from soaking; When the indoor ground is higher than the outdoor ground, the flat track and embedded track can be selected.
3. Pulley selection
Many people choose to use the sliding door as the balcony door, because the sliding door does not take up extra space to open, it can * limit the space for family activities. As one of the important accessories of the balcony sliding door, the quality of the pulley affects the user's experience. We can choose the pulley with good quietness, load-bearing, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
 

How to choose the sliding door on the balcony
1. Sound insulation
The balcony door is a treasure to block hot air in summer, cold air in winter and noisy noise. In the hot summer, cold winter and noisy world, close the balcony door to block the transmission of air conditioning and heat, and isolate the noisy noise. Realize energy conservation and environmental protection virtually, and improve life happiness.
2. Daylighting
As the connection point between indoor and outdoor, the balcony is also the entrance of light. It carries the demand of bright and transparent space, and must have good lighting. The sliding door made of glass and the transparent glass greatly enhance the indoor transparency! When the light enters the living room through the balcony and leans against the sliding door on the balcony, you can feel the warmth of light when you can see the scenery with the balcony.
3. Wind pressure resistance
The balcony door is also a line of defense to guard against wind and rain in the home. In stormy weather, if the sliding door does not have a solid profile and systematic structural design, it is very easy to generate shaking and noise. In serious cases, glass may even fall and break. Therefore, high-quality sliding doors with strong profile hardness, stable structure and better wind pressure resistance should be selected, which can be stable, stable and reliable in the attack of strong wind and rainstorm.

Generally, the sliding door is mainly used between the balcony and the living room, and there will be a balcony outside the living room. When many people are decorating, they will directly connect the balcony. After the balcony is opened, it really looks spacious and atmospheric, but there are also certain drawbacks. When my house was renovated, I was just messing around. When I decorated the balcony, I was a little confused. I wanted to open the balcony, but my wife insisted on installing sliding doors. It's true that the public says that the public is reasonable and the woman says that the woman is reasonable. I've been wrestling with this for a long time. Finally, I had to ask an experienced decoration teacher. After listening to the analysis, I finally understood. Best of all, we installed sliding glass doors on the balcony.

Under what circumstances is it unnecessary to install sliding doors?

There are three cases in total. If sliding doors are not installed, the thermal insulation and sound insulation of the balcony wall must be done well, otherwise it will affect the living room.

1. Small family
For small houses, the area is relatively compact, and expanding the space is the most important thing. Connecting the partition between the living room and the balcony can make the living room more bright and atmospheric, and effectively broaden the overall space. After opening, the balcony can be made into tatami and platform, which is not only bright and atmospheric, but also can add a functional area and increase the storage effect.
2. Special requirements for the living room
Some people have special requirements for the living room, need to open the balcony, or pursue bright atmosphere. This situation need not be considered too much, as long as it does not hit the load-bearing wall, it will be fine.
3. Create functional areas
If the balcony outside the living room is built into a platform or tatami and other leisure areas, you can also consider connecting the balcony. If the balcony is built into a leisure area and sliding doors are installed, it will be more inconvenient. After connecting, it is not only convenient to use, but also more beautiful and textured.
 

Under what circumstances should sliding doors be installed?

There are 6 cases where sliding doors need to be installed. Installing glass sliding doors can not only play a partition effect, but also increase the role of sound insulation and heat preservation. It can keep warm in winter and heat insulated in summer to improve the effect of warm winter and cool summer!

1. Medium and large house type
Because the area of medium-sized apartment and large apartment is relatively spacious, it is not so urgent to expand the living room. Sliding doors are best installed between the living room and balcony of large and medium-sized households. One is to divide functional areas, which can also effectively isolate dust from entering the household. The sound insulation effect is enhanced, and the thermal insulation effect is also enhanced. Another advantage is that when the air conditioner is turned on in summer, it can only achieve better results and save more power.
My home is a three bedroom apartment with an area of 120 m2, which is barely a large apartment. The area of the living room itself is not small, and the final decision is to install glass sliding doors.
2. High rise residents with children
Now many residential areas are not allowed to install anti-theft nets, and the vision of anti-theft nets is really not good-looking. For safety, many people will use invisible anti-theft nets, which are composed of thin steel wires. The visual effect of this kind of anti-theft net is indeed fashionable and beautiful, but it has been reported that a child pulled the steel wire open, then drilled through the gap in the middle, and accidentally fell from the building.
Therefore, for high-rise residents with children at home, installing glass sliding doors between the living room and balcony can also add a layer of protection and improve the safety factor.
3. Outside the living room is the living balcony
If there is only one balcony in the family, and this balcony is outside the living room. Then, we usually hang and wash clothes on this balcony, which we call "life balcony". The living room is a public area to receive people and things. If the balcony is drying clothes, the guests at home will be embarrassed. Some people say that it is OK to install curtains as partitions in the middle of the living room and balcony. The effect of this is very weak. If you pull the curtains, there will be no light in the living room. It will be embarrassing not to pull the curtains. The best way is to install glass sliding doors as partitions.
4. The balcony is made into a study
If there are two balconies in your home, one can be used as a living balcony, and the other can be built into a leisure area, a study and other functional areas according to your own ideas. If the balcony is built into a study, it is very necessary to install glass sliding doors in order to create a quiet learning atmosphere.
5. Open balcony
If the balcony outside the living room is an open design, there must be a partition door between the living room and the balcony. Because there is no way to shield the open balcony from the wind and rain, only by installing glass sliding doors can we avoid rain splashing into the living room. The glass sliding door will not affect the daylighting, and can avoid dust entering the house.
6. There is a load-bearing wall between the living room and balcony
If there is a load-bearing wall between the living room and balcony, the load-bearing wall is the foundation for supporting the house. No matter what circumstances, the bearing wall can not be knocked off. It is a matter of safety, and we must be careful. If the area of the load-bearing wall is not large, we can consider knocking off the periphery of the load-bearing wall, so as to achieve half connection. It's a bit awkward after half opening. It's like removing the glass sliding door. It's better to install the sliding door.
