Balconies – form and function in symmetry
Balconies do much more for a property than simply provide extended space. Creatively designed to complement the architectural nature of a building, balconies offer the opportunity to enhance existing features and to bring character to an otherwise bland interior or exterior.
The availability of a wide variety of suitably durable materials means that balcony design and construction is limited only by the physical constraints of the building and the engineering skills of the constructor.
Stainless steel, aluminium, glass, Perspex and powder-coated steel are commonly used in both domestic and commercial environments to provide a combination of strength, security, enhanced light and striking appearance to both indoor and outdoor applications.
A thoughtfully designed and well-constructed balcony offers an ideal bridge between outdoor and indoor environments and is capable of substantially enhancing the appearance of its surroundings.
