Condos along the Bang Khae–Lak Song stretch: one glass wall that is both window and balcony door
Plenty of compact units have glass on one side only, and that one glass wall is both the window and the door out to the balcony. Whatever goes on it has to allow for walking through every day. A full-width roller has to go all the way up every time you step out to hang the washing, whereas curtains on a track part in the middle or stack to one side, so getting through is easier. Motorized tracks start from 1 metre wide, which comfortably covers the glass wall of a unit this size. The prep is simple: let the building management know in advance that a fitter is coming, and if the building won't allow drilling into the aluminium frame, the fitter moves the fixing up to the ceiling or the wall above the frame.
