Balconies for October Sunshine

The end of summer has come and winter seems to be racing towards us, with the clocks going back tomorrow, the weather turning chill, and the evenings darkening. For many of us, this can mean packing up the outdoor life we've enjoyed through the summer and holing up in our homes, but it doesn't have to be this way. The late Autumn sunshine can still be warm enough to sit out in, even if there are less daylight hours to do it in. Which is where a balcony is perfect, as you don't even have to go anywhere to enjoy it.

However, balconies in autumn can be slippery and full of puddles if the design or installation are wrong. For a truly weatherproof balcony, the tapering needs to be exactly right so that water runs off the surface (but you don't feel like you're on a slope!); there needs to be sufficient additional drainage; the material needs to be long-lasting and guaranteed UV proof, waterproof and fireproof; and the surface itself must promote good grip.

The polymer balcony system does all this and more, providing the ultimate high-spec eco-friendly surfacing and even offering you a choice of non-slip quartz grit finishes to suit your tastes and design scheme (you can browse our range of pigmented balcony quartzes here). As contractors we come with a host of fully checkable professional accreditations and certifications so that you can be confident of the highest standards of health and safety and workmanship, and we can work anywhere in the UK (including the Highlands, the Islands, and hard-to-access roofs). Because of the system's efficiency we are also able to keep our prices at truly affordable levels.
