Can the balcony be a laundry room? Does the washing machine have to be placed in the bathroom or in the kitchen? In fact, putting the laundry room on the balcony is more convenient for drying and ventilation!
1. What kind of balcony is suitable for transforming into a laundry room?
While balconies are ideal for laundry rooms, not all balconies are suitable for converting into a laundry room. The premise of transforming the balcony into a laundry room:
1. The balcony itself is provided with drainage holes or floor drains to facilitate the drainage of the washing machine.
2. Gas pipes and heating pipes cannot pass through the balcony to avoid potential safety hazards.
3. Consider the water inlet of the washing machine. Generally, there is no water inlet on the balcony, and it needs to be punched through the wall to achieve it.
Balcony laundry rooms are more common with small-sized bedrooms, because small-sized bedrooms usually have very small kitchens and bathrooms, and the space for a washing machine will be very crowded. If the balcony happens to be connected to the kitchen or bathroom, consider moving the laundry room to the balcony. There is also a situation where there are double balconies in a large apartment. At this time, one of the balconies can also be considered to be converted into a laundry room.
Second, what equipment is needed for the balcony laundry room
1. Washing machine
No laundry is required The room cannot be without a washing machine. If the laundry room lacks a washing machine, it will not be called a laundry room.
2. Sink
The sink is also the most common in the laundry room. There is a sink for washing hands, washing mops, and small clothes that cannot be washed by the washing machine. more convenient.
3. Drying rack
Although the drying rack is small and not worth a lot of money, it is an essential thing in the laundry room, it seems Clothes racks are never enough, I don’t know if everyone feels the same.
4. Storage cabinets
Set up a small storage wall cabinet, which can not only store trivial things in the laundry room, but also the green wall cabinet. It makes full use of the space and is very beautiful.
Three, how to install the balcony of the washing machine to run into the water
1. The drain pipe of the special washing machine
Many families have converted their balconies into laundry rooms and directly use the drainage pipes from the balcony to drain the washing machine. External drainage pipes are generally used on balconies. Once in winter, the pipes are easily blocked by snow or frozen, resulting in the water from the washing machine not being able to drain out, and may also flow back to the balcony. Therefore, if the balcony itself has a laundry room function, but the property has no drainage, the washing machine must not be placed on the balcony. If you must use the drainage of the balcony, you must first heat the outdoor drainage pipe of the balcony. Another reason for not using a balcony drain pipe is that the waste water discharged from the washing machine will enter the nearby rivers and lakes without treatment after being discharged through the rainwater pipe of the balcony, which may cause pollution to the urban environment.
2. Keep away from gas pipes and heating pipes
If the small balcony also passes through gas pipes or heating pipes, the water inlet and drain pipes of the washing machine will be damaged. Increasing the openings on the wall will cause unsafe hazards.
3. Set the water inlet pipe of the washing machine
There is usually no water inlet on the balcony. It is best to convert the balcony into a laundry room. The balcony is adjacent to the kitchen or bathroom. This makes it easy to drill holes through the wall.
