Do balconies and bedrooms need to have steps? Is there any benefit to this design?

In the high-quality houses I am in contact with, most of the developers design the balcony to be 2 5cm shorter than the indoor ground, which is inseparable from the living habits of the Chinese people, so why is it designed like this?

The first thing to understand is what the balcony does. The balcony not only has the effect of increasing indoor lighting, but also allows people to bask in the sun and look at the scenery outside the house in their spare time, as an independent space, you can also raise some flowers and plants, set up tables and chairs, and drink tea and read books while enjoying the sun.

But for Chinese people, the biggest role of the balcony is to dry clothes and quilts, so the balcony is also an area that is easy to get wet.

Why should the balcony be designed to be lower than the interior. As mentioned above, in the eyes of Chinese people, most of the balconies are used to dry clothes, and many people like to put washing machines on the balconies, which causes the balcony to be an area prone to moisture.

Designing the balcony lower than the interior prevents moisture from penetrating into the floor and causing water to flow lower.

What should I pay attention to when decorating my balcony? 1: The balcony is a place that is easy to be wet, in order to prevent water from penetrating into the bottom floor and causing damage to the decoration of other homes, so the balcony floor must be waterproofed, and the practice is the same as the bathroom waterproofing, brush 2 3 times of waterproof coating.

Then do a closed water experiment.

2: Most people like to dry clothes on the balcony, it is recommended that the balcony floor and the wall are paved with tiles to prevent fouling, so that the water splashes on the wall and the ground, easy to clean and hygienic.

3: The balcony is also a place where it is easy to reveal personal privacy, so to protect personal privacy, it is recommended to close the balcony or install a sliding door between the balcony and the interior.

as well as installing curtains.

Conclusion. There are no steps in the balcony and the interior, but there is a height difference, and the drop is not large, and there are steps that are easy to cause the phenomenon of stepping in the air and falling. Because there are no special requirements for the bedroom, compared with other rooms such as the living room and dining room, and there is no function to use water, there is no need to make a height difference between the bedroom and the adjacent rooms.

Generally, a doorstone is used.

Or the divider can be separated from the floor of the adjacent space.

There needs to be steps between the balcony and the bedroom to prevent water from the balcony from flowing into the bedroom and causing damage.

I don't think it's necessary, because if you set up steps in two spaces, it is easy to trip people, especially when there are elderly people and children.

It's best not to have steps, how good is it to be flat all the way, it is more convenient for children and the elderly to walk, and it is also convenient to go to the toilet when it is dark!

<>1, the balcony steps are better to pave the floor tiles, the floor tiles are more practical, the resistance of the floor tiles is relatively strong, in the balcony is easy to expose to the sun and wet in the case of floor tiles is a better choice, of course, the use of pure log color plates can also be used as maintenance is more troublesome.

2. Before laying the balcony floor tiles, you must use waterproof materials to do waterproof burning on the wall and floor, and wait for a waiter to dry out after another day before it can be laid, because the balcony outer wall will be eroded by wind and rain, to make the waterproof layer is not done, the rainwater will seep into the wall tiles, and when laying, it is necessary to soak the skin in the water before lifting the spike to ensure that there are no bubbles before it can be put into use.

There is also a big threshold on the balcony and bedroom floor of my house, which makes me smash it, and it feels cool and beautiful.
