Balcony balustrades are manufactured to British Standard and Building Regulations from a variety of materials. Stainless steel with glass infills are very popular as in the structural glass balustrade with no uprights, the glass being mounted on a support plate or set into channel. Mild steel is generally galvanised when used externally and can be painted or powder coated. When galvanised, the finish of the powder coated steel is not as smooth as without. A textured coating can be applied or the balustrade can be manufactured from unpolished grade 304 stainless steel and when coated the finish is very smooth. Juliet balconies are very popular these days and are produced from steel, stainless steel and glass. The attached photographs illustrade this. |
