Why balcony in a country house: the pros and cons, personal experience

About the ban on smoking, the feasibility of the construction of balconies in country houses, constructive participants in the experience of the portal

The country is literally excited the message that from October 1, introduced a ban on smoking on the balconies. It formed two camps with diametrically opposed positions - one, happy that, finally, the top will no longer pour in cigarette butts and neighbors stop to poison smoke. Others are puzzled - but where to now go out to smoke, not to "smell" in the apartment, and relax with a cigarette and a negligee, practical philosophy, not just a break.

As it turned out and excited and upset for nothing - is September 28 press-service of Ministry of Emergency Situations, with which it all started, I gave an explanation of the form.

"Regulation does not prohibit smoking on the balcony, but you must be aware of the responsibility before the law, prudence, their safety and the safety of others. Smoking on the balcony is possible if it does not pose a threat of fire. "

And the very decree that toughened rules for handling open fire on the balconies, directed, is, in the formation of a "smoking culture". By the way, roast barbecue on the balcony on the first day of October, in fact, can not be, so that the originals baluyuschimsya with barbecue, have to look for other options.

But if a balcony or a loggia in the apartment, of course, necessary, are not as straightforward in a country the private sector. Consider why and how to build a balcony in private homes, and what sensations owners from exploitation.

Why private house balcony

Balcony in a city apartment, in fact, an alternative to the court in a private home - it is a place of rest and the opportunity to enjoy the views, if any, and the "smoking room". But with the advent of modern materials, balconies combined with flats, yielding an increase in the useful space. Or glass, insulated, and the heating is carried out using not only heat, but also during the cold seasons as an office, greenhouse, terraces.

In the same country house has a courtyard and, with verandas and terraces and storage (if the layout is thought), and you can smoke on the porch. Functional load on the balcony there is little, only aesthetic - get out, enjoy the view of a cup of tea and the like. And even that is questionable.

We are on your balcony does not leave almost never. Because both are always either on the ground floor or on the street. And we go to the second floor only in the evening to go to bed. Who would not choose the design of the house with a balcony. For us, it is useless.

I would like to clarify. Most of the construction advocated the balcony. Those who built, write that the balcony is not necessary. It is the same with me. The project had two balconies. Well, in the construction process, from one refused. Second ruffled nerves and eats money. Do not ever use. Why, when you can always go out on the porch on one side or on the terrace on the other? Balcony good in an apartment, even if it is still there.

The apartment has no balcony - the trouble; and in the house - why did he observe neighboring windows (especially if the view from it is poor)? It is much better to sit in the evening on the terrace or to the garden.

And it happens not just idle balcony, and begins to be uncomfortable.

Will support, the cost of maintaining the balcony is much more than the pleasure derived from it. I have a second-floor balcony, or rather, a loggia, is located above the indoor heat vestibule. The first five years everything was fine, and the balcony we pleased, but then it began... Waterproofing either broke, in a word, the snow drifts and the summer rains began to slowly but surely seeping into the lobby (and in fact is still there underneath and basement). The last three years we are trying in every way to deal with it, but it seems that this year will have to solve the problem dramatically, and our balcony glazing.

In fairness it should be noted that five years' balcony to please us ", that is, until it started leaking, the claims did not arise. Apparently, the problem is still not in the presence of the balcony, and in violation of the technology in its construction or the use of non-specific materials, which are "enough" for only five years.

And not the most common argument against the balcony, but it turns out, it happens.

... Example - from relatives was brick cottage with a balcony, the house for the "lock and key", the door did not break in, thieves not get. And we climbed over the balcony - calmly, without haste, cracked glazing in the door, standing on the balcony. You can, of course, put the grill, but not as a prison. But it IMHO.

However, supporters of the balconies have enough - the balcony is beautiful.

... Do not forget about the aesthetics, the same balcony looks very elegant, even if it is not functional. Still, the house should be such as to leaving, I wanted to look.

Balcony - it's convenient.

An elevated portion on each floor balconies, both under a common roof of the house. Second floor balcony to the end only to have arranged this spring, now permanently there, gorgeous views! Do not compare to the first floor. Two balconies are convenient when two generations of a family with different interests. Children do not intersect with the parents on the balcony, resting each on his own. Doubly useful when comes a lot of guests. And when the main part of a barbecue-bath is over, men need to smoke and talk about her, women - about her, all the "interest groups" go to their balconies. And everyone is happy.

And useful.

... Balcony useful. It's convenient - in the sun to dry things, pillows, etc., protryasti something in the summer we are there house flowers. Drag from the second floor it all down, and then back again? A constructive need to think that there are no problems.

But with some reservation.

I like very much and our outdoor terrace on the ground floor and a balcony in the attic. On the balcony to the door of our bedroom, we can get up in the morning and sun in shorts to meet. Well, or smoke husband quietly, not to run into the yard. Birds chirping, the sun rises, the breeze rustling - beauty. I have two hands on the balcony, but only if he is not on the living room, so no possibility of leakage in the house was not.

And no, no extreme, balcony proteins out of the forest, and if one of the neighbors' utrechkom podsterezhet - also will not be disappointed. "

Party matters

The views of supporters and opponents can transfer indefinitely, disputes arise even between spouses and hardly really come to a "common denominator". But there is a definite pattern, which should be taken into account in the debate.

Balcony is needed, but I noticed one peculiarity - the neighbors who made a balcony to the street, really rarely go to him. I have done a balcony at the rear of the house, the neighbors also asked why the beauty hidden in the yard. Roof ruled over the balcony of the precipitation does not fall. Snow is possible and clean. Now we can the laundry drier, to sit to read, for the children to look, admire nature, even children can play side by side, the balcony to get somewhere 11,5 × 1,2 m.

Constructive balconies in private homes

It applies two basic ways of building balconies in suburban homes - remote and built.

Remote, balconies - at relatively simple constructive embodiment and execution, or on a reinforced concrete plate girders (wood, metal). External balcony has nothing to do with either the roof or from the first floor rooms, it has its own support frame. Although open type does not create any problems with waterstops (slope Drip) at mistakes made from drips of water will deteriorate facade.

Also, do not forget about the snow load.

If the winter will not regularly cleaned, the snow can accumulate on the balcony so much that it just collapses. We under Peter, in this winter (every seven years we are winter) per meter of snow on flat roofs and balconies in bulk, many "somewhat spoiled." Yes, and I caked it, and get wet. A snow formation 2 × 1 × 1 m weighs more than a ton.

built-in balconies - built on the premises of the first floor, it can be either residential, heated rooms, and cool verandas, terraces, lobbies or porch. Unheated rooms is preferable since it is easier to do waterproofing, when there is no seeking up heat of vaporization. And there is no danger in the event of a serious leak in storm or snowmelt pour expensive repairs.

For the most part, the built balconies in private homes rather loggia as closed and on the sides and top of that, however, is not completely saved from the problems in the operation.

Need a balcony or not, everyone decides for himself. I look at the house as the avatar. Two full floors and two balconies happened. The rain is constantly wet floors. I want this year to sew up the bottom flush with the house (to make the hall), and the top glaze. Balcony in a wooden house is good, but a chore to use.

Output

As the arguments against and pros balconies enough, each to his own opinion and persuade someone else, a thankless task. However, it should be noted that the voiced problems gives no balcony, as the design and the lack of thought and planning errors in construction. If all calculated and correctly implemented, even the balcony idle for months is a jewel of a home that is already a lot.

In polutoraetazhny houses often decorated balcony attic. Sometimes the balcony thinking already in an existing house, deciding to make an addition to not get problems with the law - find out whether it is necessary to register and how to do it. In the video - with an open balcony interesting house.
