Many friends like to install a large bay window on the balcony when decorating their house, especially some young friends. Indeed, after the installation of bay windows, the quality of the room is appreciated. the whole house has improved a lot. It is obvious that the decoration of the house is very generous and also helps to enhance the shine of the room.

Disadvantages of floor-to-ceiling windows01. Lack of privacy. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can have a good view of the scenery outside. Everything in the outside world is in plain sight, but while you can see the outside, the people. the outside can also see you clearly. When you live there for a long time, you often have the impression that each ofour movements are monitored, which makes us very uncomfortable.

Since the glazed area of floor-to-ceiling windows is relatively large,it is therefore easy for the material to age, fatigue and rust., or other external forces, such as wind, explosion, earthquake, etc., causing ruptures. When glass breaks, the falling fragments can easily injure you or pedestrians on the road.

In addition to the large glass area, the glass itself is very easy to get dirty, which also makes it floor to ceiling. windows should be cleaned frequently. And only one side of the feIt can be washed. The other side requires professionals wearing safety gear to clean it properly.
In cities, only office buildings will be cleaned intensively. If a family hires someone alone, the others usually don't want to come. Even if they come, the price is very high.
