Surely every owner of the apartment faced a problem of lack of free space. Sometimes all the necessary and unnecessary things litter the room, significantly reducing the much needed space in the house. But those who have, in addition to the apartment, also a balcony, do not think about this problem at all. They just put there everything they need along with conservation, seasonal footwear and car parts. But sometimes after several years of operation such a balcony simply does not physically contain so many things - and therefore there is a problem in putting things in order. Now many people solve this problem quite simply by installing a special closet on the balcony. Photos of such construction and design solutions make it necessary to pay special attention to such a layout, since after such repairs the owners no longer have problems with putting things in order - all things are in their places. In today's article, we'll look at why it's worth installing a built-in closet on the balcony of your apartment.
Characteristics of the structure
Typically, this type of furniture is installed on the front side of the loggia. The reason for this is its lengthened design, which can have 2 or 4 doors. Less popular are the options with open shelves, as in the above type of furniture there is no need for neat arrangement of all things - you can simply put them on one or more shelves and close the door. Still, such cabinets on the balcony will look very neat and attractive. With regard to structural solutions, this type of furniture, depending on the size of the loggia, can contain several offices, including the lower, middle and mezzanine. Often, the lower part of the cabinet is removed to store preserves and vegetables (eg potatoes or onions). As for the upper part, it puts things that are least used, as well as dangerous electrical appliances for children. Similar cabinets on the balcony are very necessary, since they are able to unload the apartment from various clothes and other small things. Thus, by placing in them temporarily unimportant household items, you provide yourself with an excellent opportunity to vacate the premises for the arrangement of a new room, be it a mini-dining room or a study.
Materials
Most of the cabinets on the balcony are assembled from chipboard and metal-plastic panels. The last option is an aluminum frame, paneled with PVC. Unlike the first option, this cabinet will be stronger and more durable, especially if your loggia is located on the sunny side of the building. Also, the advantage of this design is that it is not at all afraid of high humidity and large temperature changes, which is typical for the balcony (with the exception of heated options). As for the shelves in the cabinet, in both versions they are able to withstand loads of up to 30-40 kilograms per each.
Cabinets on the balcony - this is an excellent solution for those who want to achieve rational use of free space. And if you want to expand your area, making room for a new room, such cabinets will be an excellent solution to this problem!
