Glass Balcony Oughtibridge
Elevated Views and Enhanced Privacy: A Glass Balustrade Transformation in Oughtibridge, Sheffield
We recently completed a fantastic project that perfectly showcases the dual benefits of our glass balustrade system: unobstructed views and discreet privacy. This installation, using our System 1 with side-mounted stainless steel posts, handrail, and clear glass infills, elevated a customer's existing balcony platform in the picturesque Oughtibridge area of Sheffield.
The Project: Blending Aesthetics with Functionality
Our client in Oughtibridge had a beautiful, newly decked balcony platform but needed a modern, safe, and view-enhancing balustrade. A key requirement was also the inclusion of a privacy screen on one side to offer separation from a neighbouring property without sacrificing the balcony's open feel.
Key System Features
-
System 1: Our tried-and-tested design offering a sleek, contemporary look.
-
Side-Mounted Stainless Steel Posts: A modern choice that frees up valuable space on the balcony floor and offers a robust, corrosion-resistant structure.
-
Stainless Steel Handrail: Providing stability and a seamless aesthetic finish.
-
Clear Glass Infills: Maximizing the stunning views over the Oughtibridge landscape, maintaining an open, airy feel.
The Process: From Survey to Stunning Finish
1. Detailed On-Site Survey
The success of any custom installation starts with a meticulous survey. Our team visited the Oughtibridge property to take precise measurements of the existing balcony platform. We paid close attention to the structural integrity for the side-mounted posts and, critically, defined the exact specifications for the raised privacy screen on the side adjacent to the neighbour. This initial step ensures all manufactured components fit perfectly the first time.
2. Precision Manufacture
Using the detailed survey data, the entire balustrade system—including the stainless steel posts, the handrail, and all glass panels—was manufactured to the highest standards.
-
Safety First: The glass infills and privacy screen were crafted from toughened safety glass, ensuring maximum durability and compliance with all relevant building regulations.
-
The Privacy Solution: The panels for the neighbouring side were specially treated with a frosted or opaque finish, providing an effective visual barrier while still allowing natural light to filter through.
3. Professional Installation
Our experienced installation team returned to Oughtibridge to bring the design to life. The side-mounted posts were securely fixed to the balcony structure, ensuring maximum strength and stability.
The clear glass infills were then mounted between the posts, opening up the view. Finally, the opaque privacy screen was installed to the agreed-upon height. The result is a seamless, secure, and sophisticated balustrade that perfectly complements the home and the stunning surroundings.
The Oughtibridge Result
As you can see from the images, the finished balcony is a true highlight. The clear glass ensures the panoramic view is preserved, while the strategically placed frosted screen offers a peaceful, secluded area to relax without compromising on light or modern design. The composite decking and stainless steel finish are a beautiful, low-maintenance combination.
