How to check and accept the balcony sealing
As an important part of home decoration, balcony sealing is not only related to aesthetics, but also directly affects living safety and user experience. Among the hotly discussed decoration topics on the Internet recently, the acceptance standards for balcony sealing have become the focus. This article will combine the hot discussions in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the acceptance points for enclosed balconies from aspects such as materials, processes, and safety.
1. Core indicators for balcony closure acceptance
| project | Qualification standards | Detection method |
|---|---|---|
| Profile thickness | Main profile wall thickness ≥1.4mm | Vernier caliper measurement |
| glass configuration | Tempered glass must be used (3C certification) | Check the glass corner mark |
| Sealing performance | No air leakage or water leakage | Water spray test |
| Hardware accessories | Brand accessories, smooth opening and closing | Practical operation test |
| drainage system | Drainage holes are smooth and not clogged | Pour water test |
2. Step-by-step acceptance guide
1. Material acceptance
It is necessary to focus on checking whether the surface of the profile is smooth and without scratches, and whether there are cracks or bubbles in the glass. A recent hot search case shows that a certain brand's use of recycled aluminum caused the balcony to deform, which has attracted widespread attention.
2. Installation acceptance
Check the firmness of the connection between the window and the wall, and the gaps should be fully filled. According to the latest data from the Decoration Association, 38% of complaints about balcony closures stem from improper installation.
| FAQ | solution |
|---|---|
| Window tilt | Requires re-leveling installation |
| Cracked sealant | Remove and re-apply weather-resistant glue |
| Rusty hardware | Replacement of 304 stainless steel accessories |
3. Functional testing
When conducting the opening and closing test, make sure that the doors and windows open smoothly without any jamming. The recent "balcony window falling" video that went viral on Douyin warns us that we must check the installation of the anti-fall rope.
3. Guide to avoid pitfalls
Based on popular discussions on Zhihu in the past week, the following high-frequency questions are summarized:
1. Be wary of the trap of low-priced set meals (materials may be cut corners)
2. Request profile testing report
3. During acceptance, focus on checking the drainage slope of the outer window sill.
4. Keep 5%-10% of the balance to be paid after acceptance during the rainy season.
4. Key points for seasonal acceptance
| season | Key points for acceptance |
|---|---|
| rainy season | Waterproof sealing |
| winter | Insulation performance |
| windy season | Wind pressure resistance |
5. Professional acceptance suggestions
It is recommended to hire a third-party supervisor to conduct acceptance inspection, focusing on testing:
1. Use an infrared level to check the verticality of the window
2. Use a decibel meter to test the sound insulation effect (a high-quality enclosed balcony should be ≤35dB)
3. Check whether all screws are made of stainless steel
In the recent Weibo topic #closure balcony rollover scene, many decoration bloggers emphasized that the locking function of each opening fan must be checked during acceptance, which is the key to anti-theft safety.
Through the acceptance process of the above system, it can be ensured that the balcony sealing project reaches safe, practical and beautiful standards. It is recommended that owners keep good acceptance records and warranty certificates. Generally, regular manufacturers provide 5-10 year warranty services.
