When decorating a house, the design of the windows is often something we cannot ignore.
If you live in a higher area and use low-quality windows, there will definitely be safety hazards and even more household chores.
The choice of windows is very important. Many people think that ordinary windows are of poor quality and low appearance, so they start to follow the trend of oversized french window. But is it really wise for you to do this?
What are the advantages of french window?
1. Good visibility
If you live on a higher floor, you can have a better view after installing an oversized french window,
Every morning or evening, when you stand on the balcony, it looks very beautiful at first glance and can also relax your body and mind!
And after finishing the french window, it can improve the quality of home life. Even small houses look very tall.
Not only that, but this design can also make the small apartment bigger and enhance the home atmosphere.
2. Good lighting
French window occupy a large part of the space, which will make the indoor lighting better,
Especially for families with good layouts, the sunlight can continue to shine into the room during the day, making it very transparent and bright. You can quietly enjoy the sunshine at home.
Even in the evening, the indoor lighting is very good and there is no particularly dark situation.
Why is it not recommended to install "french window"?
1. Water leakage
If you change the balcony into a french window design, you will encounter the trouble of water leakage later in your life,
Especially in the gaps and corners of french window, water leakage is very serious, which seriously affects your use experience,
The design of french window is very complicated, and we must do our homework well in advance. As long as a detail is not done well, it will lead to water leakage.
In particular, some workers are in a hurry when decorating. They directly install french window after plastering, which will become loose and leak when you use them.
Secondly, the sealant at the connection may also be weak.
2. Poor insulation performance
If you directly refit the balcony into a french window design, it will also lead to poor indoor thermal insulation,
When it gets cold, the temperature outside drops very quickly, and the windows we use all meet the insulation requirements. If we change them directly, it will affect the insulation effect.
3. There are safety hazards present
French window are made of tempered glass. Although they look strong, they have the possibility of self explosion,
This kind of french window does not mean that it will happen after you live for a few years, but there are uncertain factors, which lead to daily life panic.
In addition, some people are afraid of heights, and every time they go to the balcony, they are always very scared and seriously lack a sense of security!
If you have a fear of heights in your daily life, it is better to choose a simple casement window design when decorating your house, which is also very convenient to use.
As for whether to install french window, I personally think it mainly depends on my own needs. If you pay attention to aesthetics, you can install them. If you are worried about security risks, water leakage and other shortcomings, you can install ordinary windows, which can help you save a lot of money.
After all, french window are more troublesome in terms of material selection and installation, so the price is naturally higher.
