Unex Balustrade and Coloured Panels Create Wow Factor

This large housing development has expertly used splashes of colour on the balustrade and panel infills to make a real statement. Over one thousand decks on this London UK complex feature balustrades with coloured panel for privacy, creating an outstanding finish.

Unex Balustrades were used in conjunction with non-structural, folded aluminium sheet. These were bracketed and clipped onto the outside of the balustrades, and folded back underneath each deck. The panels were powdercoated in funky colours, superbly coordinated to create this eye-catching result.

For the balustrade behind the panel, frosted glass was used for a clean and aesthetically pleasing view for tenants.

Unex worked closely to coordinate this balustrade solution with an Authorised Balustrade Fabricator in the UK. The end result is an impressive balustrade featured on this large, multi-complex, residential building — which provides an element of privacy from other residents and creates a 'wow' finish for this housing development.

Similar to the Camden but without the bottom rail, the Spectra features glass that spans horizontally between its posts and a gap beneath its top rail to allow for airflow while still providing protection from the elements.
