Balcony enclosure

What is a balcony enclosure?

Balcony cladding means installing side or front screens to protect against wind, rain and the sight of neighbours. Enclosing a balcony in a block of flats allows you to increase your privacy and enjoy the space for most of the year.
We make lateral enclosures of balconies with movable OpenUp System external blinds (wooden or aluminium) and permanent enclosures in polycarbonate.
We carry out installation in Warsaw, Łódź, Lublin, Bydgoszcz, Toruń and the following provinces: Mazowieckie, Łódzkie, Lubelskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie.

At Otwrane.co.uk you can order the construction of a balcony with:
– wood (OpenUp System movable boards)
– Aluminium (OpenUp System movable blades)
– polycarbonate

Types of balcony development

Enclosing the balcony with external blinds (movable panels)

This is the most commonly chosen solution for balcony development in blocks of flats.

Pros:

• light and privacy control
• protection against wind
• modern design
• can be mounted vertically and horizontally
• sliding system

Materials available:

Aluminium - durable, moisture-resistant, no impregnation necessary
Wood - natural, aesthetic, low-maintenance

Polycarbonate balcony enclosure

Permanent polycarbonate cladding is a solution that provides:
- protection against precipitation
- space lighting
- greater isolation during the transition period

It is particularly suitable for corner balconies and highly windy balconies.

The most common questions about balcony enclosures

How much does a balcony enclosure cost?

The cost of building a balcony depends on on width, height, material chosen (aluminium, wood, polycarbonate) and installation method.
We prepare an initial quotation free of charge on the basis of a form.

Is community consent needed?

In multi-family buildings, the consent of the community or cooperative is usually required.

How long does it take to assemble?

From 1 to several days - depending on the scope of work.

What is the process of building a balcony like?

This is very important - we operate in a phased and transparent manner.

1. Preliminary valuation based on the form
First you fill in the form and state:
- width and height of balcony
- photographs
- type of building
- preferred material

The first measurement is taken by the client - so you get an indicative quote quickly.

2. Technical measurement and selection of materials
Once the initial estimate has been accepted, we arrive for a precise measurement.

We bring samplers:

• aluminium colours
• finishing structures
• wood painting colours
• polycarbonate

We check the installation possibilities and the fit with the façade.

3. Implementation of balcony development
Once the design has been approved, we proceed with installation. Depending on the scope of the work, implementation usually takes between one and a few days.

What do you really gain by enclosing your balcony?

Enclosing a balcony is not just about installing a structure. It's about changing the way you use the space next to your flat.

• You gain privacy - you can sit down with your coffee, relax after work, without feeling like you're in view of your neighbours.
• You gain silence and shelter from the wind - the balcony ceases to be a place you flee from at the first gust or rain.
• You gain comfort - you can use your balcony in spring and autumn, not just during the few warmest weeks of the year.
• You gain an extension of your living room - an additional, functional space that really expands your home. Space for plants, a table, a deckchair, a quiet moment just for yourself.

A well-designed balcony enclosure puts this space to work for your comfort every day - and not just to look like it in pictures.

Why should you entrust us with balcony development?

Opened.co.uk is a solid company.

• Specialising in the lateral development of balconies and terraces.
  Side boarding is our core business. We design and install system solutions made of movable boards - aluminium and wood - which are technically and aesthetically refined. Thanks to our specialisation:
  - we select the right section of elements for the size of the balcony
  - we design modules that operate lightly and precisely
  - take account of wind loads in multi-storey buildings
  - we match the structure to the existing balustrade and façade
  Each implementation is thought through in terms of sustainability and safety.
• Experience in multi-family buildings
  Building a balcony in a block of flats requires technical knowledge and a feel for the aesthetics of the façade. We work with reinforced concrete structures, we know the requirements of communities and cooperatives, and we are able to select a system so that it is visually and structurally light. We know when movable louvres are a better solution and when a fixed polycarbonate cladding provides more comfort.
• Structured implementation process
  We operate according to clearly defined stages:
  - Preliminary quote based on dimensions and photos.
  - Accurate technical measurement and material selection with sampler.
  - Implementation and installation.Knowing the costs at the outset allows you to make an informed decision and plan your budget without surprises.
• Durable materials and system solutions
  We use weather-resistant aluminium and wood suitably prepared for outdoor use. We work with repeatable modules and proven assembly components.
  The effect is a structure that:
  - works smoothly
  - maintains stability
  - looks good for years
