How to Get a Blooming Balcony

Posted Sunrock Balconies

Balcony gardens are the ideal way to transform your outside space. In fact, there’s a lot you can do with even a smaller area.

You can create a beautiful and sensory space in every season. Balcony gardening is not without its challenges, but with the right tips and tricks, your balcony garden can actually be fairly low-maintenance.

 

Optimise the space available with pots and hanging arrangements. You could even revamp your balcony with infinity glass. Infinity glass balustrades will allow you to show off your creation and you can enjoy the views. Here are a few more useful tips for balcony gardeners.

 

Practical plants

 

It’s important to consider the practicalities of balcony gardening. Whereas you’ll have less to worry about in terms of messy soil, weeds, and pests, you’ll have to factor in sunlight and watering complications. Before you set up any plants, think about how you’re going to water them and where the water will drain. If you need to rely on a watering can, make sure you’re willing to put the effort in for the number of plants you want. Choose practical plants that will grow in the conditions you have.

 

Create a sensory space

 

A balcony is a perfect place to sit outside, so you want it to be a sensory space. Fragrant plants close to the house will provide wonderful scents. Think about lighting options as well. Your balcony garden needs to be visually stimulating even during the evening. Add plenty of colours and textures to make your space as appealing as possible, and it’ll be an ideal place to relax.

 

Work with the conditions

 

If your balcony is in the sun, you’re in luck, but you might want to create some shade with tall plants or trellis. If the views from your balcony are not great, then this will solve the problem as well. On the other hand, if you want to see out of your balcony you could maximise your views with infinity glass balustrades.

 

Welcome wildlife

 

There’s no reason why you can’t make your balcony garden a haven for wildlife. You’d be surprised how many beautiful birds and insects you can attract with pollen and nectar-rich flowers. You could even DIY your own bird feeder. If you have room, providing a water supply such as a miniature pond or fountain will also welcome wildlife.

 

Show off your space

 

Infinity glass makes an incredibly stylish addition to balconies of any size. As well as giving it a sleeker more elegant finish, infinity glass allows much more light to enter your balcony. This is ideal for cultivating plants, flowers, and even vegetables.

 

Infinity glass balustrades can be custom-made for your balcony and will even add value to your home. It’s the ultimate feature for breaking down barriers with the outside world, delivering a wonderful feeling of space. Bring the outside in this year with infinity glass balustrades.

 

At Sunrock Balconies we create outdoor living rooms using infinity glass designed to your specifications.  We offer a complete end to end service from design to quotation to full installation for both residential and commercial customers.  We can also consult with your architect, contractors or tradesmen to get the best results for your balcony project.

How to create Privacy on your Balcony

Posted Sunrock Balconies

Your balcony is the perfect place to relax and unwind, so ideally it should be a private space.

There are plenty of ways to create a private balcony that will also help accentuate its unique design. You can block views using temporary solutions such as tall plants and privacy screens. These are ideal if you want to combine beautiful infinity glass balustrades with attractive accessories.

You don’t necessarily need to make changes to the structure. Instead, find ways to incorporate your privacy solutions into the atmosphere you want to create, whether it’s a sensory garden or tropical paradise. Here are a few ways to increase privacy on your balcony.

 

Planting

 

 

There are several types of plants which will add privacy to your balcony as well as a lovely touch of greenery. Climbers, such as jasmine for example, are perfect. Jasmine will also fill your balcony with a gorgeous scent. You could build a vertical garden using a trellis or recycled wood and the climbers will grow upwards. Another simple solution is to plant small trees in pots and strategically position them to block curious looks. Don’t forget to prune your privacy plants at the top to allow in plenty of sunlight.

 

Privacy screens

 

Privacy screens are a stylish solution, and you can choose the design that best suits the overall look you want to create. There are plenty of designs available and you can choose between fabric to bamboo or even faux ivy. Privacy screens are practical as well as attractive and can be moved around according to the weather and time of day. Privacy screens often attach to railings or come as portable on their own rail. The movable type will work as a good combination with infinity glass or walled balconies.

 

 

Storage

 

You can create extra storage on your balcony which will also add privacy. Upturned crates or used wooden pallets nailed together actually make a lovely shelving unit. The gaps between the wood will allow the light through but provide enough coverage. You could decorate the shelves with a few smaller plants and eye-catching accessories. Sturdy rattan or wicker boxes can double up as seating, as well as adding privacy. You can set them up at the side of the balcony and use them for outdoor storage.

 

Trellis

 

A garden trellis will give your balcony a beautiful backdrop. There are many types to choose from. You can attach climbing plants such as ivy for a traditional look or choose a wooden trellis with an abstract or unique design. Trellis is made with the intention of adding privacy while still letting the light through, so they’re ideal for your balcony.

 

No matter how small your balcony is, it has plenty of design potential. Whether you have an open space with modern infinity glass balustrades, or more traditional railings, you can find creative ways to add privacy.

How Glass Can Add a Touch of Luxury to Your Home

Posted Sunrock Balconies

If there is one material that adds a little luxury to the home, it’s glass.

Yes, that shiny, sparkly material that makes any normal home space look attractive and luxurious just by existing. The world has been producing glass for thousands of years, and there is a reason that architects use it as a material to impress the masses. The best thing about glass, whether it’s glass floors, room dividers or stair balustrades, is that it’s timeless.

You can transform your living space simply by switching out your material choices and it’s one of the biggest reasons that architects and interior designers choose glass for their designs. Infinity glass just doesn’t go out of style, so here are some of the ways that glass can add that touch of class to your living space.

Luxurious Homes

Here’s a great example of how Sunrock Balconies can transform your property. This stunning three storey beach house was built to take full advantage of the incredible sea views. The addition of infinity glass balustrading which are accessed via bi-fold doors provides an uninterrupted view of the ocean.

 

 

Let There Be Light

Depending on the design and material you use, glass will let a lot of natural light flood into your home. Whether it’s frosted or not, glass allows you a window to the outside world and you already know that there are tons of health benefits to natural light streaming into the house. Glass can prevent the light smacking into walls; it just flows right through the house. Harnessing the sun to brighten your home from wall to wall is much better for your health than any other material. You can have everything from infinity glass balustrades and stairs to the glass floors you’ve seen in magazines!

 

 

All About Aesthetics

Glass has clean lines to it, and you can use glass in many different stylish and beautiful ways. From glass furniture and table tops, to frameless walls and glass doors, there are several ways to ensure that the interior of your home is one clean line and aesthetically pleasing as a result. Glass balconies are another way of allowing in more light, a seamless join between the outside and inside – a sleeker look to the home overall.

Opening the Space

Glass allows the light to flow through each room in the house, especially if you choose to have glass floors or stair balustrades. Glass allows your home to feel more open, warm and inviting. The glass doors, for example, can allow you a better sense of space, which also means that you can link rooms together and offer continuity to the house, too. It’s a very modern look, and it’s one that’s having a positive impact in the interior design world.

A Modern Touch

Speaking of glass making the space more modern, you can transform older homes and buildings simply by switching older, darker materials to glass. Glass is one of the most ideal materials for transformation, and it’s particularly useful for property modification.

Versatility

Glass is a versatile material and can be used for any number of applications in the house. You can build a whole balcony or extension to your house with it!

At Sunrock Balconies we create outdoor living rooms using infinity glass designed to your specifications.  We offer a complete end to end service from design to quotation to full installation for both residential and commercial customers.  We can also consult with your architect, contractors or tradesmen to get the best results for your balcony project.

Beautiful Balcony Ideas

Posted Sunrock Balconies

Imagine tossing and turning in your bedroom or living room sofa and daydreaming about the beautiful outdoor view, with a gentle breeze caressing your skin.

This daydream can become a reality if your home comes with a balcony; there’s no need to sweat it out indoors all the time.

Allow yourself to enjoy your outdoor space by creating a seamless blend between your indoors and outdoors. It doesn’t matter the size of balcony you have (whether a generously sized deck or a tiny patio), it is possible to spruce it up to add lustre to your home, creating the intimacy and comfort you desire. Are you lacking inspiration for your balcony? We’ve got some ideas for you.

A touch of glass

There are few things more relaxing than taking a break on your balcony, enjoying the outside view, and watching the rest of the world go by, with your favourite drink by your side. If you love to enjoy your exterior view, consider using infinity glass and balustrades to help bring the outside view in; not only will your balcony space be enhanced, but it will also help you make the most of the view.

Go green

Plants are pretty much one of nature’s best gifts as far as home decor is concerned, and one plant can be enough to change your balcony’s ambience. From vines to potted plants in planters, you can choose from different varieties, depending on what meets your fancy. If space is an issue, stick with plants that will grow vertically.

Plants also come with added health benefits, as they exchange your carbon dioxide with oxygen; it’s a win-win situation.

Furniture

It’s hard to imagine a relaxing balcony space without the right furniture. When shopping for furniture for your balcony, comfort and relaxation are the most important things to consider. A few items that will add a nice touch to your balcony if you have the space for it include:

  • Rocking chairs
  • Day beds
  • Swing chairs
  • A single sofa
  • A hammock

You can also use something as simple as wooden crates for your furniture; just cover them with cushions, and you’re good to go. Let your outdoor furniture complement the ones indoors to help create a seamless transition.

Lighting

Lighting up your balcony should be able to serve two primary purposes:

  • Making it possible to spend beautiful nights in your outdoor space – You don’t need anything too bright; something warm-toned and stylish should do the trick. You can even opt for some candles to create a romantic touch. 
  • Serving as a form of security – You can use an electric lantern. The right number will depend on the space you have.

Bear in mind that the lighting shouldn’t be too harsh.

Flooring

The right flooring choice may depend on where the balcony is located. For example, if it’s right after your kitchen, tiles may be the way to go. But if it connects to a wooden floor area, then a deck is appropriate. No matter the flooring you already have, you can always cover its centre space with a beautiful rug. 

You can also add some shade if you expect to spend a lot of time on your balcony. 

Are you wondering how to make your balcony a desirable place to be? At Sunrock Balconies we create outdoor living rooms using infinity glass designed to your specifications. We offer a complete end to end service from design to quotation to full installation for both residential and commercial customers. We can also consult with your architect, contractors or tradesmen to get the best results for your balcony project.

How to Make a Winter Garden Cosy

Posted Sunrock Balconies

When it comes to winter, it can often mean that for many gardens they end up being ignored or go un-used.

However, if you’ve got the right setup you can still continue to use it actively when you want to. Your winter garden can be just as good of a source of enjoyment as it will often be in the summer. Many households look for the Scandi ‘hygge’ way of life nowadays! Hygge is a Danish and Norwegian word for a mood of cosiness and comfort.

So, if you’re someone who wants to make good use out of their outdoor area and create this outdoor ‘hygge’ mood this winter, here are some tips on how to make a winter garden cosy.

 

Ambiance with lighting

 

The ambiance is important because if you’re not providing the right elements to the outdoor space, it can often look cold and uninviting. Lighting can be a great way to create the right atmosphere that a garden will be lacking during the wintertime.

They don’t need to be anything over the top or grand, but something simple like fairy lights can be impressive. The twinkly effect they provide is like the sky at night and can provide just enough lighting to make it comfortable.

If you want to go a bit beyond fairy lights, you could always get some standing lighting that are pinpointed all over the garden to allow illumination to and from the house. There are some great options out there from UV powered to wired light fittings.

 

Creating shelter

 

Shelter from the elements is key. When making your winter garden cosy, try to mimic the indoor feel and security that your indoor areas can provide. That means creating a type of roofing that will catch any rainfall and help reduce the wind from blowing through too.

 

Glass Balustrades

 

If you’re looking for some inspiration for your garden upgrade, you can always turn to Sunrock Balconies for Infinity Glass balconies or balustrades. they offer stunning visual benefits even in the dark. The glass balustrading provides the feeling of an openness and space. Not only that, they can help provide shelter.

 

Provide a source of warmth

 

It’s a cold time of year so you want to think about providing yourself with a source of warmth. This can be in the form of a fire pit or gas patio heater.

Providing blankets and throws will help to keep everyone warm and cosy too.

 

Keep it in good condition

 

And finally, be sure to keep your garden in good condition by mowing your grass and keeping any shrubs or trees cut back and neatened up. Pathways should be cleared of leaves, moss or algae to avoid slipping.

At Sunrock Balconies we create outdoor living rooms using infinity glass designed to your specifications.  We offer a complete end to end service from design to quotation to full installation for both residential and commercial customers.  We can also consult with your architect, contractors or tradesmen to get the best results for your balcony project.

How to Transform your Staircase

Posted Sunrock Balconies

In many homes, the staircase is the first thing visitors notice when they enter the front door.

However, despite being a prominent feature, most homeowners neglect the staircase aside from the standard dusting and vacuum.

Staircases are one of the key communal areas of any property with significant and constant use. So, if that’s the case, why not look to create a stunning feature of it? Not only will it be more appealing it will add value, along with a luxurious modern look, adding a wow factor in your home! Here’s how you can do it:

 

Experiment with Colour

 

By experimenting with paint, you can personalise your stairs and bring about a wonderful transformation. You may decide to paint the entire staircase or focus on select parts like the spindles. For a professional looking finish, you should ensure that all the surfaces are clean before painting. Have the old paint and varnish removed before the application of the new decoration.

You can create space and light by using different paint, textures, colours, and shades. Using contrasting shades for the treads and the risers such as a lighter colour on the riser and a darker colour on the tread will create a great look.

 

Be Creative with Carpeting

 

Attractive carpets can work wonders for a tired staircase. Carpeting may be the ideal option for staircases made from MDF, plywood, or concrete. Available in a wide range of colours, designs and textures it means you can be creative!

To add more style, if your staircase is still in good condition, you could carpet the centre of the stairs and paint or vanish the visible areas of the tread.

 

Use Lighting

 

You can give your stairs a new look by installing lighting. Illuminating the staircase will not just create the necessary light, but it will also bring out a stunning effect. You can choose from various staircase lighting options:

  • Linear step lights
  • Illuminated handrails
  • Tread lights
  • Backlighting
  • Up-down lights
  • Hidden lights

 

Install Infinity Glass Balustrades

 

 

Transform your staircase by installing infinity glass balustrades. In commercial and domestic settings, glass balustrades add a touch of class and luxury to any staircase. They allow light to flow freely and create an illusion of space. Infinity glass is easy to clean, making it easy to work with.

The design of balustrades should be such that it discourages children from climbing on it. Some conventional staircases, especially those with wooden railings, do not comply with this requirement. A great solution to this is infinity glass balustrades. They not only add a modern twist but are also sturdy and safe. Any balustrade installed by Sunrock Balconies are designed, built and installed to pass UK Building Control regulations.
