Hi. We bought our first apartment but were very unlucky to get neighbors that are heavy smokers and sadly (for them) have issues. We have already talked to the board of the block and to the neighbors themselves, but the problems persists and we know that despite the horrible situation it creates for us, they are in their right.
One of the main issues is the strong smell of ashes that blows from their balcony, even when they are not there smoking, and obviously the smoke itself.
Does anyone have any idea how we can get/make a barrier to hinder the smell and smoke from coming to our side? As you can see in the pics, the balconies are very close to each other and share many openings.
We are looking for some solution that won’t break us economically. We have already bought activated carbon bags and an air purifier for the living room. But these won’t work perfectly of course.
Appreciate any advice.
