Paris balconies, with their timeless charm and practicality, are becoming something of an architectural staple in urban and rural environments. These sturdy structures not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of buildings but also offer numerous benefits to homeowners. From their ease of installation to their ability to fill interiors with natural light while affording views of the landscape externally, Paris balconies are appealing on many levels.
One recent case study exemplifies the growing popularity of Paris balconies, showcasing their seamless integration into contemporary housing projects. In the quaint town of Marsden, Huddersfield, four Paris balconies from CRL were installed by Bespoke Glass Services onto fully renovated houses earmarked for renting out. The choice of Anthracite Grey Reveal Mounted balconies was deliberate, aiming to create a sleek, frameless appearance that seamlessly blends with the modern aesthetic of the houses.
The Paris balconies were strategically installed to elevate the allure of the properties while providing practical outdoor access for tenants to enjoy. The decision to opt for reveal mounting not only accentuated the clean lines of the structures but also ensured uniformity across all installations. According to the installer, this method not only kept all panels matching and looking identical but also eliminated the need for mounting onto uneven surfaces, saving time and resources that would have been spent on packing with silicone.
The CRL Paris Balcony system is designed to be used with 13.52mm, 17.52mm & 21.52mm toughened laminated glass and has a minimal frameless design. The 1200mm long profiles can be face-fixed or reveal-fixed to brickwork, concrete, or steel and are supplied in a Grey or White finish. A top cap rail is not required as the toughened laminated glass offers extra protection if one single pane fails. Paris creates a streamlined finish and offers an uninterrupted view from the balcony.
Unlike a bolt-on balcony or those with a deck, Paris balconies do not need the foundations of a property to be re-evaluated to accommodate them. This makes them a more widely used solution for refurbishment and renovation construction projects.
In terms of installation, the process was remarkably straightforward. Setting up the scaffolding proved to be the most time-consuming aspect, with the actual installation of the glass and framework being swift and efficient. This underscores the ease with which Paris balconies can be incorporated into existing structures, making them an attractive option for homeowners seeking to enhance their properties without undergoing extensive renovations.
The finished effect of the Paris balconies left the customer extremely pleased. The seamless integration of these elegant structures added a touch of sophistication to the properties, elevating their appeal and market value.
