BEAUTIFUL Balustrades
Beautiful Balconies & Balustrades
In recent years the trend to make the most of your outdoor space has increased dramatically with home owners and families wanting to make the most of fresh air and the great outdoors.
In addition to the popular trend for large expanses of glass, bifold and sliding doors is the demand for external balustrading and the dividing or screening of decked and outdoor areas. As we well know, the great British weather isn’t always that reliable! Therefore, to make the most of our gardens and outdoor spaces we need to shield ourselves from some of the elements. Glass balustrading is perfect for this, especially frameless glass balustrading which provides protection from the wind whilst maintaining views.
Furthermore, as frameless glass balustrades provide a sleek ‘all glass look’ they don’t impose on the eye, creating the feeling of space rather than restricting the sense of room.
Frameless glass balustrades are ideal for decked areas and balconies and perfect for creating secure areas for children and safe barrier protection from height. So, if you’re looking to get your garden or external space looking cool this Autumn then consider frameless glass balustrading to give protection from the great British weather, whilst maintaining the sense of space and unrestricted outdoor views beyond.
Balconies
The idea of a home with a balcony is luxurious, having one can be bliss. There are multiple benefits of having a balcony which directly affects your health. Here are just some of the benefits of having a balcony in your home:
Ample light
A balcony will help bring in much more natural light into your living space. Natural light can help boost mood and productivity and add fresh air into a room. Sunlight also provides Vitamin D, which is essential for our health, especially in the darker months.
A place to work
A fantastic place to work from home or complete school work. Fresh air helps with concentration and you can still protect from the elements with various canopy or screen options.
Good for health
Spending ample time outdoors is known to benefit our immune system, improve eyesight, minimise stress, boost productivity and enhance your creativity. Spend your mornings and evenings chilling on your balcony. Sip your tea, listen to music and simply escape from the world.
Grow plants
Use your balcony to create a micro garden, whether its for aesthetics, herbs, fruits or vegetables. Not only will it look beautiful but its a great way to be sustainable and its great for the environment.
Host a party
Impress your friends and family with a cosy private space full of greenery and sparkly lights. Set up a barbecue and a bench to serve your food and drinks. Sit and gossip or simply stargaze, the opportunities are endless.
Your pets will love you
Pets need twice as much fresh air as we do, a safe, secure area will reduce stress and anxiety. Pets tend to be the happiest when they have ample amount of time outdoors.
Exercise
We all know how beneficial exercising is, to our mind, body and soul. Lay a yoga mat on your balcony and crunch away, or simply stretch and limber up, ready for the day ahead.
Aesthetics to your building
Balconies look appealing and are a good selling point to any home, offering additional space, fresh air and natural light.
Balustrades
Used internally and externally balustrades support staircases, balconies, and provide safety and security. While various materials can be used to design a striking balustrade, glass balustrades have become very popular over recent years, because of the many benefits.
Illusion of space
The use of glass in a balustrade is popular in home design today because it helps to create the illusion of more space. This is even more apparent if the balustrade is made with clear, see through glass. The illusion of more space makes the area appear larger than it is, something which is difficult to achieve if using metal, chrome, or iron balustrades.
Letting in light
Glass balustrades will not block any light coming into a building, allowing the light to shine through, creating an open, airy feel even when indoors.
Easily maintained, strong & durable
Glass is exceptionally robust. Glass balustrades will last for years, requiring little or no maintenance.
Glass is more durable than wood, which can be prone to pest infestation or corrosion. Over time, glass will continue to maintain its durability and will last for decades.
Safe and Secure
Tempered glass is used to make glass balustrades, which rarely breaks, making it a great choice for any area.
