Ever since I moved into a community house that was like a cage, I have been particularly envious of other people’s houses with yards. I can grow flowers and vegetables, and I can also build a sunroom and invite friends to play in the yard. It makes me happy just thinking about it. ~
My father heard this and said that the yard in my hometown is very big, almost more than 20 square meters. 10 square meters are divided into glass sunrooms, and 10 square meters are used to grow flowers and vegetables. It is more than enough, so there is no need to envy others. !
At that time, I just thought that my father was just talking casually to make me happy. Unexpectedly, a month later, when I returned to my hometown to see them, I found that the glass house and combination in front of me The garden and vegetable garden were all before my eyes, and it felt like I had entered the wrong door.
Immersed in joy, I discovered that my glass sunroom was raised by a full 20 centimeters. Why is this?
In my impression, the general glass sunroom is based on the height of the ground, and then the glass sunroom is built upwards. However, in my house, I built a 20cm foundation on the ground of the yard and then built the sunroom, which is similar to the height of the ground. What are the advantages of having the indoor floor flush?
Dad said this was his own idea, mainly because the ground in my yard is relatively low. If we don’t raise it 20 centimeters and directly add a sunroom, if there is a heavy rain later, then Rainwater will flow back into the sunroom continuously, and to exaggerate, it may be flooded.
Raise it 20 centimeters and keep it at a certain distance from the yard floor. This can prevent the sunroom floor from getting damp and damaging the floor and floor tiles, and it has a certain protective ability; and it should be raised 20 centimeters to be flush with the indoor floor. It is flat, there is no height difference, and there is no danger of tripping for children or the elderly!
In addition, there is a height difference of 20 centimeters between the glass sunroom and the yard ground, visually creating a sunken courtyard. The height difference creates a sense of spatial hierarchy. There is a glass room, flowers, and vegetables, and the entire space is rich. Colorful.
However, there is a disadvantage of the elevated glass sunroom: to enter the sunroom from the outside, you need to use steps. For safety, try to make 3 short steps, so as to reduce the height of the steps and facilitate safe passage.
Finally, my father also said that when building a glass sunroom, it is best to raise it by 20 centimeters and then build a 20-centimeter low wall. This will lay a good foundation for the entire base part, and then put the glass and glass on it. With steel structure, the sunroom can last for many years!
