Balconies: planning for everyday life

Balconies: planning for everyday life

Good balconies supports usable corners suited to actual weather exposure. Start with how the room is used now and how those needs may change.

Check building permissions and exposure to rain, sun and wind. Avoid assuming indoor cabinetry is suitable for an open balcony.

Bring a list of must-haves, a rough budget and any existing items you plan to retain. Review the room as a whole before selecting individual products. In the estimator, assign optional elements to the relevant room and check that they do not duplicate a theme package.

Require an exposure-appropriate material specification and a maintenance plan. Do not cover drains or obstruct access to services.
