In an era that pursues individuality and comfort, sealing balconies has become the choice of an increasing number of households. Sealing balconies not only expands indoor living space but also adds an extra layer of security to daily life.

As an extension of residential spaces, balconies are often entrusted with more functions and expectations. From their previous singular roles of drying laundry and storing miscellaneous items, they have now transformed into multifunctional areas such as gardens, studies, cat houses, and gyms, greatly enriching people’s daily home lives. To further enhance the utilization of home space and reflect the diverse practical and aesthetic values of balconies, KANOD Windows and Doors will share several relaxing balcony window sealing solutions, exploring the diverse visuals and formal presentations of balcony spaces.

Storage Balcony – Functionality and Convenience

The storage balcony is the most common and practical design for modern family spaces. By customizing storage cabinets on both sides of the balcony for open or semi-open storage, with washing machines and dryers stacked inside, along with an electric lift-up drying rack, a home chore area integrating laundry, drying, and storage functions is created.

In terms of door and window selection for storage balcony designs, practicality and functionality are particularly valued. KANOD’s Smart Lift Windows, featuring minimalist geometric frame designs and two-stage opening, do not occupy indoor space while enhancing lighting and ventilation, satisfying the needs for drying clothes. Considering the complex wiring of various home appliances in storage balconies, special attention is paid to waterproofing and electrical safety in the design of smart lift windows. The entire window is equipped with multiple automotive-grade EPDM sealing strips, paired with a high-sensitivity smart rain sensor, which senses and closes the window in real-time all day long. This prevents external rainwater infiltration and keeps the home environment clean while effectively avoiding electrical hazards.

Study Balcony – Immersive Work and Study Space

For small apartments, maximizing multifunctionality in the smallest unit is crucial. Taking advantage of the abundant sunlight on the south side of the balcony, a floating corner desk is set up near the window, with top-mounted custom bookshelves along the wall, creating a bright and comfortable study space that is perfect for this purpose. The study balcony not only expands the usage rate of living space but also serves as a “second study” for multiple family members when working or studying.

KANOD’s Kashang Series aluminum double casement windows, with a panoramic glass window design, provide an important window for sunlight, meeting the light requirements for studying. For a study, it is important to provide a quiet and comfortable environment. Casement windows have stronger sealing performance than sliding windows, providing better sound insulation. KANOD’s casement windows utilize a multi-chamber thermal insulation structure paired with an excellent sound insulation system, isolating external noise. Combined with leisure seating, a bright and quiet reading environment is created, where one can appreciate the outdoor scenery through the window instead of a wall, relaxing the body and mind after studying.

Gym Balcony – Activate Sweat Mode

As people’s health awareness increases, they are more inclined to adopt healthy and scientific lifestyles. The gym balcony perfectly meets the needs of working professionals who are busy, dislike going to the gym, but have fitness requirements.

By organizing dumbbells, treadmills, yoga mats, and other equipment on the balcony, a dedicated fitness space is created, enabling an immersive sweat session that effectively and quickly removes fatigue from work. When doing aerobic exercises at home, it is particularly important to ensure good ventilation. KANOD’s G42 sliding windows can be opened up to 50% of their area to ensure air renewal. The large glass window design allows one to enjoy a 180° panoramic view while exercising, feeling energetic and relaxed at the same time.

Pet Balcony – A Safe Haven for Furry Friends

As pets are considered family members, planning a play space for them is essential, and the balcony becomes the best option. By arranging pet climbing frames, toys, mats, etc., on one side of the balcony and partial storage cabinets on the other side for pet food and toys, the balcony can be transformed into a “pet villa,” enjoying pet-warming moments without occupying family space.

In creating pet balcony spaces, special attention is paid to safety to satisfy pets’ instincts for exploration and activity. Choosing a window screen integrated inward-opening and tilting window, which opens at a 15-degree angle, satisfies ventilation while preventing children or pets from climbing. A child safety lock can be added, paired with an integrated protective screen design, providing ventilation and fall prevention advantages, comprehensively avoiding accidental threats during pets’ climbing activities.
