However, the balconies of newly renovated houses are basically closed in design. After all, house prices are too high now, and people want to use the balcony as a living room. Therefore, when decorating new houses now, they basically adopt the design of enclosed balconies.

There are many benefits of enclosing a balcony

Master’s advice

What What about using broken bridge aluminum?

If the partition door between the living room and the balcony is opened, it is best to install broken bridge aluminum. Because there is no partition door, the heat insulation, heat preservation, and sound insulation effects of the living room will be weakened. Therefore, it is best to install broken bridge aluminum, which can improve the effects of heat insulation, heat preservation, and sound insulation, and make it more atmospheric and classy.

If the floor is relatively high, or it rains all year round, it is also recommended to install broken bridge aluminum, which has outstanding waterproof and windproof effects.

When should aluminum alloy be used?

If you don’t have sufficient funds, you can consider using aluminum alloy doors and windows. The key is to save money. Although it has too many advantages, it is quite satisfactory and can be done.

If you install aluminum alloy, it is recommended to keep the sliding doors in the living room and balcony, which can increase the effects of thermal insulation, heat insulation, and sound insulation, and play a dual protection role.
