Outdoor balustrade can add value to your
home, creating a stylish outdoor living space that suits you and your
lifestyle. From garden deck to apartment balcony, outdoor balustrade can help
to make the space more appealing and more usable, so you can make the most of
your time outdoors.
-
Step up your outdoor style: Outdoor balustrade can add style to your outdoor
living space and create an attractive garden feature. With a wide range of
traditional and contemporary styles available, you can choose a balustrade
system that complements your garden theme.
-
Safety first: Outdoor balustrade provides a crucial safety barrier.
If your garden slopes or includes raised areas, such as a deck, then balustrade
can help to create a family-friendly space that’s safe for children and pets.
In icy or slippery weather, balustrade can provide useful support too.
-
Draw-the-line: Outdoor balustrade adds height and definition to any
area. You really can create the feel of a ‘room outdoors’, whether it’s for
barbecuing, entertaining or a place for the kids to play.
Where can you use outdoor balustrade?
Richard Burbridge have designed their balustrade systems so they
can be fixed to a variety of surfaces, which means you can use them creatively
in a whole range of clever ways.
On Timber Decks Decking can be much more than a simple flat
surface and by adding balustrade, you can create your own individual deck
design
On Patios Concrete paving can be enhanced with
balustrade, transforming a plain patio into an attractive outdoor
space.
On Balconies Balustrade can turn balconies into stylish
spaces for taking in the view.
Balustrade
systems are based around a series of newel posts, handrails and baserails that
are filled in with balusters or panels.
PLANNING YOUR DECK
Good looking decks require careful planning and design as well as good quality materials. It is important at
all times to use safe construction techniques and common sense. If you are in any doubt contact your local
planning or building control office, reputable building contractor, structural engineer and/or Richard Burbidge
technical department.
There are a number of aspects you should take into consideration when planning your deck.
- Will it be functional, decorative, or both?
- As an alternative to a traditional paved patio, it needs to be large enough to allow comfortable use of
seating, patio tables and chairs.
- Will the deck be at ground level or elevated?
- Check the depth and position of underground pipes, cables and services. Positions of inspection
chambers and manhole covers should also be considered when designing and planning your deck.
- Will the deck be used for privacy or as a focal point? Do you want to make the most of the sun or
use the deck for shade? Plan the deck to take advantage of views, or combine with trellis,
balustrading and/or foliage to screen unwanted ones.
- Reflected heat off a south facing wall will turn a cool deck into a warm one. Trees provide cool shade
in summer and warmth in winter for south facing decks. A partial screen, foliage and/or balustrading
can help diffuse wind without completely blocking it, allowing some cooling on warm days. How well
you consider the climate of your area will have a great deal of bearing on how often you use your
deck.
