A guide to choosing balconies
6 steps to choosing the right balcony for your house
Choosing a balcony can be tricky at first - different shapes, materials, sizes and accessory options. This guide summarises the key points to consider when making your choice. Just follow these 6 steps and you will have a balcony that ties in with the character of the house and meets the requirements of the project.
1. Choose the shape of the balcony
Every house is different and so are the balconies. We offer several shape variants from which you can choose:
Square balconies - versatile and available in large sizes.
Rounded balconies - an elegant solution up to 3.3 m wide.
Elegance balconies - semicircular shaped solution in 3.4 × 1.25 m.
Which balcony shape should I choose?
The choice of shape depends on the character of the building, its size and the desired use.
2. How big a balcony do you need?
Have you wondered whether a standard balcony is enough or would you appreciate a larger space?
Basic size - 2.5 × 1.2 m, suitable for everyday use
Extended version - for example, 3.6 × 1.4 m with our Sunny Loggia.
Individual solution - we can produce a balcony over two apartments with a size of up to 7.2 × 1.3 m.
What are the balcony sizes?
Larger balcony allows for a wider use- space for seating and additional use
3. Choose the railings according to the character of the building
The appearance of the balcony is significantly influenced by the type of infill:
Sheet metal - smooth, perforated or painted, easy to maintain.
Compact panels - highly durable, proven in Western Europe.
Glass infills - safety glass in various shades, transparent and frosted.
What should I choose for the railing filler?
The choice of infill affects the final appearance, privacy level and maintenance.
4. Which flooring to choose for the balcony?
The surface you walk on is just as important as the design of the railing. You can choose from the following options:
Smooth sheet metal - an economical choice with the option of an anti-slip coating.
Plastic mat - easy maintenance and comfortable surface.
Wood-plastic slats (WPC) - natural look, high durability.
Compact boards - strong, weather resistant.
What types of balcony floors are there?
The type of flooring affects the operation, maintenance and final appearance of the balcony.
5. Accessories to increase comfort and practicality
Your balcony doesn't just have to be a place to dry your laundry - it can be a space for a variety of uses. For example, you can add:
Laundry dryers - outdoor and indoor options.
Side screens - more privacy, wind protection.
Full glazing - can increase wind protection and extend the use of the balcony.
What balcony accessories are there?
The accessories allow you to make the most of your balcony in any season.
6. How will the balcony be attached to the house?
