Decking Balustrade in Exeter
Project Spotlight: Andrew's Decking Balustrade in Exeter
At Dio-Met, we love transforming outdoor spaces, and this recent project for our client, Andrew in Exeter, is a perfect example. Andrew wanted to upgrade his decking area, creating a safe, stylish, and functional feature that would complement the traditional architecture of his home. The solution? Our popular System 5 galvanized and powder-coated glass balustrade.
The Challenge
Andrew's decking area, a beautiful sun trap attached to the back of his house, needed a boundary that would provide safety without blocking the stunning views. It was crucial that the new balustrade not only met all building regulations but also offered a touch of modern sophistication that harmonized with the classic French doors and brickwork.
Our Solution: The System 5 Balustrade- Galvanized and Powdercoated with Timber Handrail
We worked closely with Andrew through every stage, from initial design to final installation. The chosen glass balustrade was our versatile System 5, a design known for its durability, clean lines, and customizability.
Key features of this project included:
-
Robust Construction: The balustrade is built with strong 40x40mm square steel baluster posts, which were pre-assembled for a straightforward installation.
-
Ultimate Durability: To withstand the unpredictable UK weather, all steelwork was galvanized and then powder-coated in a sleek black finish, providing a long-lasting, rust-proof solution.
-
Elegant Finish: We topped the balustrade with a beautiful 50x40mm iroko wooden handrail. Iroko is a naturally durable timber, and its rich, warm tone adds a touch of organic elegance that contrasts perfectly with the black steel and glass.
-
Clear Safety Glass: We used 10mm toughened safety glass with polished edges and radius corners. This choice ensures maximum safety while maintaining an unobstructed view and allowing light to flow freely. The design is fully legal and UKCA-marked, giving Andrew peace of mind that his new decking feature is building regulation compliant.
A Perfect Fit, From Start to Finish
Our design process ensures a perfect fit every time. We provided Andrew with detailed AutoCAD drawings to review and approve, allowing him to make any final adjustments before manufacturing began. This meticulous approach guarantees that what you see in the drawings is exactly what you get.
Andrew's feedback on the project was fantastic, describing our service in his Trustpilot review as "great from start to finish." He highlighted the "high-quality product at a very competitive price" and praised our team's patience and efficiency.
