Why do some decorators advise owners not to put the washing machine on the balcony?

With the continuous improvement of living standards, more than 90 people will choose to install a washing machine at home when decorating a new home, but because the volume of washing machines is generally relatively large, especially the traditional wave wheel washing machine, which takes up a special space, many people will be very entangled in the end to put the washing machine in the first place.

Of course, according to different personal preferences, some people like to put the washing machine in the bathroom, some people like to put it in the living room aisle or kitchen, but the decorator generally does not recommend putting the washing machine here, that is, the balcony, why is this?

1. First of all, the master said that from the perspective of developers, in order to save costs during building construction, few developers will install rainwater pipes and sewage pipes in the building at the same time, at most, to install a rainwater drainage pipe.

In this way, if the washing machine is placed directly on the balcony, there will be a very serious problem, that is, many people drain from the rainwater pipe, and the water discharged from the rainwater pipe generally flows directly to the road, square, grassland or rivers and lakes, which will not only lead to serious pollution of urban water, but also easily cause the rainwater pipe to be blocked, affecting normal life.

2. Secondly, most of the balconies in life are sunny, so if the washing machine is placed directly on the balcony, it is easy to be exposed to the sun, resulting in damage to the skin. In addition, the inside of the washing machine is relatively wet, especially in summer, not only will it have an aftertaste, but the internal parts are also easy to damage, which directly reduces the service life of the washing machine.

3. Now many owners are small apartments at home, in order to increase the living room activity space when decorating and designing, most people will choose to wrap the balcony directly into the living room, as shown in the figure below. This not only makes people feel out of place with the layout of the living room, but also makes noise into the living room every time they wash clothes, affecting their lives. Based on the above three points, the decorator generally does not recommend that everyone put the washing machine on the balcony.

So it's the most appropriate not to put it on the balcony? The master generally recommends placing it in the kitchen, first, the kitchen drainage water is convenient, and there is no sun exposure and no dampness in the bathroom; The second is that most of the washing machines are drummed, small in size, and the washing machine is directly stuffed under the cabinet when designed, which is beautiful and beautiful, practical and space-saving.

Of course, if someone insists on putting the washing machine on the balcony, there are two things that need to be taken care of:

First, through the transformation, the installation of water supply pipes and drainage pipes between the balcony and the bathroom or kitchen can ensure that the dirty water for washing clothes is discharged through the sewage pipe while ensuring the water supply. However, this increases the cost of decoration and requires the owner to budget in advance.

The second is to build or customize a special washing machine cabinet on the balcony, which is not only used to store the washing machine and keep it beautiful, but also to protect the washing machine.

Why some decorators will advise the owner not to put the washing machine on the balcony: it is because the washing machine cannot be exposed to the sun, which will affect the service life; The balcony does not have a drainage outlet, and a special drainage outlet must be set up, which is a cumbersome process.

Because if the washing machine is placed on the balcony, it will be exposed to the sun, and then it is easy to damage the internal equipment of the washing machine, so the washing machine should never be placed on the balcony.

I have a relative, although the washing machine is not put in the kitchen, but the washing powder, laundry detergent or something is put in the kitchen cabinet, the cabinet is full, I asked her why I put it here, she asked me where to put it, I said where the washing machine is, where the washing powder is.

Because if there is no good shelter on the balcony, it is easy to accelerate the aging of the washing machine due to weather conditions such as wind, rain, and sun exposure.

The balcony has a limited load-bearing capacity, and if you wash clothes on the balcony, it will affect the leakage of sewer pipes and cause inconvenience to others.

Be sure to put it on the balcony, dry and not leakage.

That's because the decorator doesn't understand the fart.

Many families move the washing machine to the balcony to free up the space occupied by the washing machine for the bathroom; Otherwise, they feel that the toilet space is too narrow and they can't turn around. Regarding the issue of putting a washing machine on the balcony, even if there is fluctuating water on the balcony, not every complex can put it on the balcony. You need to consult the property, look at the requirements of the property, check the construction drawings, and see that the sewer pipes of the balcony are directly connected to the underground drainage system.

If you want to put the washing machine on the balcony, do a good job of sun protection. Nowadays, most of them are front-loading washing machines, which can be used as storage cabinets on the balcony to reduce direct sunlight.

When you're done, remember to cover it with a cloth. The washing machine balcony should preferably be sealed. If the property does not allow it, you can contact the property first.

They should have a uniform standard for balcony decoration, that is, it is possible to bring in their renovation company. If you really don't let it be sealed, then consider making a balcony cabinet. Nowadays, the decoration will basically design a washing sink and a place to put the washing machine under the sun.

Moreover, the existing room types are basically equipped with living balconies, and many have several balconies, so it is no problem to set aside a separate place on the balcony for the washing machine.

It is better to install a floor drain for washing machines. If it is raised with PVC, it is best to install another floor drain. Even if the washing machine is not leaking, if you don't close the windows when it rains heavily, there will be a disaster of large areas of water.

Put the washing machine in the bathroom: I believe that it is normal for everyone to put the washing machine in the bathroom, because the bathroom has upper and lower drainage, and it is very convenient to put the washing machine here. Leave the washing machine on the balcony:

For many cities, the balcony is the best place to place the washing machine, because the balcony is dry, and the developer has done water supply and drainage to the balcony according to the actual situation.

The washing machine can be dried directly after washing here. Put the washing machine in the kitchen: For many families, the bathroom space is too small to fit the washing machine.

The washing machine could not be placed on the balcony, had to be placed in the kitchen. After many people buy a house, the first thing they do is research the renovation. When decorating, although the major designers have different styles, they basically have one thing in common:

Washing machines are set up in the bathroom. As long as the layout of water supply and drainage pipes, waterproof projects, and power sockets are done on the balcony, laundry is more convenient, and the balcony has sufficient lighting and good ventilation, which is also the first choice for drying clothes. Put the washing machine in the bathroom or somewhere else and remove the laundry.

Initially, many people put their washing machines in the bathroom because it was more convenient to wash their clothes and get water, and they were not afraid to spill water on the floor, and gradually people found the balcony more convenient for washing clothes. The current renovation is basically about designing the laundry sink and the place where the washing machine is placed on the balcony. Most of the current house types have living balconies, and many houses also have multiple balconies.

It was no problem to have a separate washing machine on the balcony. If the bathroom is large enough and dry and wet separated, the washing machine should not be moved to the balcony either.

The balcony was originally a free place that didn't take up much space. Clothes hung on the balcony. It was really inconvenient to walk through the hall from the bathroom.

The washing machine in the bathroom is too heavy to rust and can easily cause corrosion when placed on the balcony. The balcony has good ventilation effect, dry and not damp, which is conducive to prolonging the service life of the washing machine. Strong sunlight can also affect the lifespan of the washing machine.

Plenty of sunlight on the balcony. If you put the washing machine on the balcony, it will often be dried, which will also shorten the life of the washing machine, so we need to have certain precautions. Some homes do not have a sewage system.

In some new homes, the balcony has a special sewage pipe, but some families do not. If the washing machine is placed on the balcony, you need to make a separate sewage pipe, because the water from the washing machine cannot be discharged directly into the storm pipe. But many families, whether they can photograph the storm water pipe ** or drain water from the washing machine, this is actually wrong.

The size of the balcony should be taken into account. When we place the washing machine, we need to plan well so that we can achieve a more beautiful design. Washing machine wastewater needs to be discharged into the sewer pipe.

Wastewater from washing machines cannot flow directly into storm sewers. If there is no sewer on the balcony, you need to make another sewer pipe. Pay attention to the sun protection of the washing machine.

When the washing machine was placed on the balcony, the sun was strong. If you are exposed to the sun for a long time, even if it does not affect the service life, it will affect the color of the surface of the washing machine, causing it to fade, and you should pay attention to the sun protection of the washing machine.

Be careful not to put a drum washing machine with a large dead weight, as this may cause the balcony to fall off, so the property does not agree to put the washing machine on the balcony.

Be sure to pay attention to the problem of sewerage, pay attention to the problem of load-bearing, because most of the balcony bearing capacity is not particularly strong, so the property does not agree.
