Balcony fencing

Accomplishment of housing today is very enjoyable, because there are a lot of construction and finishing materials, from which you can choose what suits the design and meets all the requirements of the tenants.

Security issues also take a separate position and are important, especially if the architecture of the building assumes the presence of balconies , stairs and terraces . Railings and balcony fences in this case are necessary, and their choice dictates the overall architectural style of the building, because the balcony should fit in harmony, and not stand out from the overall composition.

Types of balcony fences

Balcony fences are different in terms of both the material of manufacture and other parameters. But what unites them is the requirement of reliability and durability, because they are entrusted with a very important function - to protect against falling from the balcony for one reason or another. Consider the main types of fencing, depending on the material from which they are made:

  1. Balcony railings made of metal are the most common option today. Metal can boast great resistance to chemical and mechanical damage, high strength and reliability, long service life. In addition, there are many ways to use metal for fencing - and forging, and welding, and combining with other materials, such as wood or stone.
  2. Balcony fences made of wood are ideal for creating an individual style while preserving the integrity of the facade composition of the whole building if it is made in the style of a country, alpine chalet or Russian hut. Of course, the tree is subject to negative effects of atmospheric precipitation, so it requires special treatment to ensure a durable service. The carved forms of wooden fences create a beautiful exterior of terraces, balconies and lodges. If desired, you can combine vertical and horizontal elements and get interesting designs. And in general, modern wood processing technologies help to create fences of very unusual and beautiful shapes.
  3. Balcony railings from glass - at first glance it seems insane, but you do not need to think that it is a conventional window glass, although it has recently become much stronger and more resistant to damage. For balconies, a thick tempered glass with a protective film is used. This material allows you to embody the most modern designs.
