1, to avoid wind and rain entering the room directly.
In our south, typhoons are frequent. There is no balcony. On a typhoon day or when it rains heavily, the rain falls asleep, and the wind and rain directly enter the room. Some houses will have some small cracks over the years, and the rain will slowly penetrate into the room with the cracks. With the balcony, these problems will be alleviated a lot, and rainwater will not directly enter the room. The balcony first ushered in the washing of wind and rain.
2. Avoid direct sunlight indoors.
There is a small balcony outside my mother's room, but there is no balcony outside my room. In summer, the temperature difference between the two rooms is quite large. Because sunlight does not directly enter the room, the room with balcony has lower temperature and better heat insulation function than the room without balcony.
3. block dust and noise.
My mother's house is near the roadside, with traffic, dust and noise. The window opened directly and soon the dust in the room was covered with a layer. It's still at night, and I feel the noise coming from the roadside is even louder. So I installed glass on the balcony facing the road, and the outdoor balcony became the inner balcony. When there is too much dust or noise, turn off the glass on the balcony. Dust and noise will be reduced.
4. Safety.
When children at home are young, the biggest concern is safety. When children at home are young, they like to lie on the windowsill and look at the vehicles outside. As parents, they are very worried about the safety of their children, for fear of accidentally falling off them. Rooms with balconies are safer. Lock the glass on the balcony so that children can play in the room and watch the cars on the road. At least there is a balcony to ensure safety.
5. Expand the living room area and use function.
Above the second floor, it is called the balcony. Prominent balconies can increase the area and have various functions. Friends who like tea can put a small table on the balcony, drink tea and chat, and breathe fresh air. Some balconies can also be filled with sundries. In a word, the balcony can increase our area and use function.
6. Cold protection.
There is a balcony outside the house, which is equivalent to the isolation layer. In winter, the cold wind blows hard outside. With the balcony, the low temperature first affects the balcony, and the indoor temperature is a little higher than the balcony.
In my eyes, the balcony has only advantages and no disadvantages. The small balcony has brought infinite convenience to our life, and the biggest difference between self-built houses and commercial houses is that the setting of self-built houses is relatively independent. So if possible, set up several balconies.
