Why shouldn't the balcony be closed?

At present, more and more people are living in standardized houses. Most of these houses have a balcony outside the bedroom or living room, and some have a balcony outside the kitchen, so that people can enjoy the sunshine in the room. However, many families like to close the balcony.

On the surface, the enclosed balcony expands the practical area of ​​the residence, helps prevent dust and dirt from entering the room, and even plays a role of anti-theft. In fact, this approach is due to small losses, not only goes against the Tao of Feng Shui-"closes the door to the qi", but also extremely harmful to human health.

1. If the balcony is sealed, it will cause poor ventilation in the residence, making it difficult to keep the air in the residence fresh, and the oxygen content will also decrease. On the other hand, the breathing, coughing, and perspiration of the family members in the residence will cause the human body Self-pollution, coupled with many harmful substances emitted by stoves, cooking, water heaters and other items, will be trapped in the house because the balcony is sealed. Living in it for a long time can easily cause symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and fatigue.

2. Ultraviolet rays in the sun can reduce the density of indoor pathogenic bacteria, and healthy people can refresh themselves by enjoying the sun, while closed balconies reduce indoor sunlight exposure, which not only easily causes the spread of germs, but may also cause the growth of infants and young children. Stunting and rickets.

Therefore, it is better not to close the balcony. However, we must also pay attention not to overdo it, and do not choose a hollow balcony shape in order to pursue the best ventilation and lighting on the balcony.

Now, in order to expand business opportunities, many real estate developers often use hollowed out balconies to express European style and increase the selling point of their residences. The empty balconies are indeed conducive to the ventilation and lighting of the residence, but there are also certain disadvantages in the layout of this kind of balconies.

The hollowed-out balcony violates the feng shui taboo of “empty under the knees”. When other people look at the balcony from the outside of the house, they can easily see the people in the house below the knees, which will not only lead to the privacy of the house. , And people’s mental health is also very unfavorable.

Therefore, the balcony should not only avoid a fully enclosed wall structure, but also avoid the use of concise and flower-through railings to make the balcony appear hollow.

To achieve this, the most desirable way is: the lower third of the balcony is a solid wall, and the upper two thirds are glass windows, which must be opened frequently. In this way, not only will there be no disadvantages of ``empty under the knees," but also the feng shui of the house will not be affected by ``closing the door of qi”.

The transparent balcony with a wide view is both beautiful and in line with Feng Shui.
