What should I put on the bay window?
I. Recommended paving materials
1, rocks
Artificial stone is the most common material for floating windowsill, and its advantages are that it is not afraid of moisture, will not deform and is convenient to maintain. The disadvantage is that it will be cold in winter. If you like to take a nap on the floating windowsill, you must get a blanket, which is a little more expensive than natural stone. Natural stone has the same advantages as artificial stone, but it is cheaper than artificial stone in price. However, it is worth noting that natural stone is radioactive. The radiation level of marble is divided into three categories: class A is the smallest, class B is the second, and class C is the largest. However, it is no problem to choose grade A for indoor use. Try not to choose brightly colored marble. Granite has stronger radiation than marble, so you can choose not to choose it.
2. Woodworking board
Using blockboard as a countertop is mainly not cold and looks simple. The disadvantage is that it is easy to be deformed by the sun after a long time, and the window is easy to get wet in case of rain. In winter, a lot of condensed water drops will flow to the countertop of the bay window, which will also make the countertop of the joinery board damp and deform. Sauna board solves the shortcomings of joinery board, but sauna board has a single color and needs to be decorated with other fabrics.
3. Composite floor
It is not afraid of the tide, and it will not be very cold or expensive to sit on it. If there are extra floors at home, you can make the best use of them, which not only saves costs, but also unifies the overall style of the room. The use of composite floor must be coordinated with the overall design, and it is also very beautiful. It must be noted that the design of the bay window must be done well before the decoration design, and it has a good connection with the floor. You can use solid wood when trimming, which is very effective. If there is any floor left at home, it can make the best use of it.
Step 4: Tiles
Although tiles are cheap and varied, the edges are not easy to handle and the texture is not particularly high-grade; In addition, if the home is paved with wooden floors, the decoration style is not uniform. Therefore, experts suggest using composite floor or natural marble as floating windowsill surface. The former is environmentally friendly and can make full use of redundant floor materials, while the latter is natural and pure, close to nature.
Second, the advantages of bay window
1. At present, the popular bay windows are divided into two forms, one is with windowsill, and the other is completely grounded and integrated with the ground. They not only increase the lighting and ventilation functions of apartments, but also add architectural charm to the facade of commercial houses.
2. The bay window design with low windowsill can often be seen in small garden houses in old Shanghai. At present, many houses in China also adopt bay window design, which pursues practicality while pursuing aesthetics.
3. There are bay windows in the bedroom, which can not only enjoy enough indoor light, but also expand the indoor vision and enjoy the beautiful outdoor landscape. The bay window in the master bedroom pays more attention to warmth and tranquility. The bay window can also be used as a very good viewing platform, lying on the windowsill with two cushions on it, or sitting or lying down, watching the traffic during the day and watching the stars at night.
4. Moreover, according to the documents of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the bay window with a net height of less than 2.2 meters is not counted as an area, nor is it counted as a sales area, so the owners do not need to increase the cost for the bay window area when buying a house, so it is generally liked by buyers. In addition, because the bay window enriches the building facade, it can be straight or curved, and the protruding width can be large or small, which produces rich shadow changes on the building facade, interspersed with blocks and contrasted with reality, so it is also a design element that designers like.
The design of bay window is nothing new, and it is used in many house decoration. If you don't understand, you can only say that you really can't keep up with the trend. The above small series introduces the knowledge about bay windows for everyone, hoping to bring you some help.
