There are children at home. How high is the balcony fence?

The balcony is an extension of the house. We can browse the scenery outside the house from the balcony, but the balcony is also a very dangerous place. The time for children to fall from the balcony is endless, and they are screened by such events almost every month. Most of the reasons are that the safety measures of the balcony are not done well. Be sure to understand the safety specifications of the balcony, such as setting a balcony guardrail with a suitable height. If there are children at home, it is best to close the high-rise balcony if the property permits. Parents should try to remove the sofa and other sundries on the balcony, and can't give their children a stepping stone.

The height of handrail should be calculated from the top surface of pedal. If it is an open-air balcony, the clear height of balcony railings in low-rise and multi-storey houses should not be less than 1.05m, and the railings in middle-high and high-rise houses should not be less than 1. 10m. If you build your own house, you can try to install it as high as possible for the safety of your family. The balcony is an amusement park for children. If the railing spacing is not properly designed, it is easy for children to get out or get stuck. According to the principle of ergonomics, the vertical clear distance of railings should be less than 1 1cm to prevent children from getting off.

Balcony, veranda, indoor cloister, etc. Protective railings made of durable materials shall be provided. When the edge height is less than 24m, the railing should not be less than 1.05m, the railing of 24m and above should not be less than 1. 10m, and the bottom spacing should not be greater than 10cm. If you use glass railings as balcony guardrails at home, you must check the quality. Some unscrupulous developers will use inferior single-layer ordinary glass, which will be damaged with a little external force.

Wooden guardrails are the most dangerous. Even high-quality anticorrosive wooden railings will not rot or be eaten by insects after 10 years. At that time, the balcony railing will become a time bomb. Even if the balcony is closed, it is recommended not to remove the railing. If a child accidentally touches broken glass while playing, the consequences will be unimaginable.
