The open kitchen, on the one hand, is connected with the living room, and the gas will spread to the whole house; On the other hand, in the event of an explosion accident, the shock wave will directly rush to the living room and other places without hindrance. Under normal circumstances, gas companies will not ventilate the homes of users of open kitchens, and will require rectification within a time limit.
In 2009, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development promulgated the national standard Technical Specification for Town Gas (GB 50494-2009), which is a mandatory provision. According to the relevant regulations of town gas management, the room with gas appliance is uninhabitable. The Technical Specification for Town Gas does mention that "effective fire prevention and heat insulation measures should be taken between gas and gas-using equipment and combustible or flame-retardant walls, floors and furniture". In other words, if you want to turn on the gas, there must be a door between the kitchen and the living room and bedroom. As for the material of the door, whether it is a wooden door or a glass door.
For the open kitchen, once the gas facilities leak, it is easy to spread to the living room and other places, and it will explode in case of open fire, causing casualties. In addition, the open kitchen combines the living room and kitchen into one. When air conditioning is used in summer and winter, the doors and windows of the room must be closed, the gas pipeline and air conditioning equipment are in the same environment, the doors and windows are closed, and the air is not circulated, which may easily cause safety hazards such as hypoxia and suffocation. Therefore, for the sake of safety, users must install the kitchen door before the staff ignite and ventilate.
If you really like the design of the open kitchen, the owner can also choose a semi-open kitchen, which can only close the operation area or make the kitchen wall transparent. The use of glass sliding door can not only control the lampblack, but also ensure the visual transparency.
