Explanation of traditional house orientation: Is it okay to put the washing machine on the balcony?

Compared with regular lighting balconies, living balconies generally do not occupy the sunny side of the room, which means that the washing machine and clothes to be dried will not suffer the torture of "exposure" , and with an open window for easy ventilation and shade drying, it is an ideal place to place a washing machine. However, the area of ​​​​living balconies is generally very small, most of which are about 1-2 square meters. How to rationally utilize this part of the space is more critical.

If you only have a balcony with lighting, be careful not to expose the washing machine to the sun when you place it on the balcony. You can design it to be placed in a corner of the balcony with curtains or better shading. If necessary, you can use a sunscreen for the washing machine. The advantage of putting the dust cover here is that at least you don’t have to worry about water vapor.

Whether it is placed on a lighting balcony or a living balcony, it is convenient for drying clothes. If you need to place the washing machine on the balcony, be sure to design the water supply and drainage during decoration to avoid having to re-knock it if you change it after the decoration is completed. How troublesome this process is, and I believe many household heads have suffered from this.
