Ideas For Creating the Perfect Balcony
2

• The perfect balcony is one that looks great,
  functions as you want it to, and matches or
  complements the style of your home. Whether
  youre keen to add a little outside space to your
  home without spending a fortune, or want to make
  your home more appealing to buyers, a
  professionally constructed balcony is always a
  worthwhile investment.
• Below are a few tips and ideas for creating the
  perfect balcony, whatever type of home you live
  in

3

• Think carefully about the purpose of your balcony
• Knowing what you intend to use your balcony for,
  can help you decide what it should look like, how
  big it should be, and what materials it should be
  constructed from. If your balcony is mainly about
  enjoying the view, then youll need to make sure
  you can see that view clearly and safely
  without any unnecessary obstructions. If you want
  to use it for entertaining in the winter and
  summer, itll need to be big enough, and warm or
  cool enough, depending on the season.

• If youre unsure what you want to use your new
  balcony it for, then simply make sure its
  constructed professionally and is usable for a
  variety of purposes.
• A balcony on a single-story addition
• If youre planning to have a single-story
  extension built, then a balcony could make it
  even more attractive and usable, especially if
  the extension has meant that youve lost valuable
  space in your yard or garden. Think about this
  during the planning stages of the addition
  project, to cause the least disruption and make
  the job slightly easier for your chosen design
  and construction team.

5

• Give yourself outdoor space, even when its
  raining
• Covered balconies can be used in all weather, and
  what could be better than stepping outside to
  smell the air and enjoy the panoramic view,
  without having to wear a rain coat or hold an
  umbrella.
• Make sure your view isnt obscured
• If your home enjoys attractive views, building a
  balcony to give you access to it all year round,
  is a fantastic idea. However, its important that
  you discuss the construction of your balcony in
  detail with your chosen contractor, to ensure
  that there are no barriers to that beautiful
  sight. In this instance, a frameless glass
  balustrade can work wonderfully well.

6

• Use your balcony all year round
• Youve given yourself additional outdoor space,
  but whats the good of that if you cant use it
  for half of the year? Wouldnt it be great to
  give yourself a balcony that you can use even
  when the temperature drops or the sun isnt
  shining? Think about whether you can add a heat
  source somewhere on your balcony to make it more
  usable during the winter months your
  construction firm will have plenty of ideas, so
  be sure to consult with them as to the best way
  to achieve a truly all-season balcony.

• Use the above ideas, or come up with your own
  innovative way to design a balcony, but whatever
  you do, always ensure that your chosen
  construction firm have the experience and
  expertise to give you the perfect balcony.
