Feng Shui also pays attention to closed balconies

In daily life, in order to increase the indoor area, many families change the balcony to a closed one, or directly build an indoor balcony. This can block outdoor dust and dirt, and play the role of heat preservation, sound insulation and anti-theft. However, Feng Shui believes that closing the balcony is equivalent to closing the door of an important channel for home Qi, which will have a negative impact on the health of the family. Therefore, Feng Shui does not...

The balcony is the part where the house connects with the outside world. It is an important part of the home that absorbs the air. It absorbs the sunshine, air, rain and dew, and the prosperous air outside the house. It has a great effect on the entire house. So, what are the advantages of closing a balcony?

1. A closed balcony is not good for the air and health

In life, many families change the balcony to a closed one in order to increase the indoor area. style, or directly build an indoor balcony. This can block outdoor dust and dirt, and play the role of heat preservation, sound insulation and anti-theft. However, some people think that closing the balcony is equivalent to closing the door of an important channel for home air intake, which will have a negative impact on the health of the family. Therefore, it is not recommended to set up a closed balcony.

2. Influence the introduction of ultraviolet rays into the room

Generally, closed balconies use window glass, which can only absorb 60-65% of ultraviolet rays. It is not advisable to wipe the outside of the window glass enclosed by the balcony. Dusty glass will block more sunlight and ultraviolet rays, which is not conducive to sunlight and sterilization of the room. It may also cause germs, which is not good for human health and is not good for infants and young children.

3. Enclosed balconies cause poor indoor ventilation

Closing the balcony will, on the one hand, cause poor ventilation in the house, making it difficult to keep the air fresh in the house. The oxygen content also decreases; on the other hand, the breathing, coughing, perspiration, etc. of family members in the house will cause pollution to the human body itself. In addition, many harmful substances emitted from stoves, cooking, water heaters and other items will cause the balcony to be polluted. Being trapped in a house for a long time can easily cause symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and fatigue.

4. Leaving the balcony empty is a taboo of "void below the knees"

Some people set the balcony to be empty, which is conducive to ventilation and lighting. However, there are disadvantages in the layout. Students believe that the hollow balcony violates the taboo of "void below the knees". When other people look at the balcony from outside the house, they can easily see the knees of the people in the house. Not only will it lead to a loss of privacy in the residence, but it is also very detrimental to people's mental health.

My suggestion: When decorating a family balcony, avoid fully enclosed dangerous wall structures, and avoid simple-shaped flower railings to make the balcony appear hollow. It is recommended that the lower third of the balcony be made of solid walls and the upper third of the balcony be made of glass windows, which should be opened frequently. In this way, not only will there be no disadvantage of "empty space under the knees", but also there will be no impact on the residence due to "closing the door to receive Qi".
