A balcony is a wonderful extension of your living space, offering a private outdoor retreat to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views. But if your balcony railing is outdated, rusted, or obstructing your view, it can detract from the overall appeal of your home.
A new railing system can completely transform the look and feel of your balcony, enhancing its style, safety, and functionality. In this blog post, we’ll showcase some of our favorite before and after railing installation projects to inspire your own balcony transformation.
We’ll demonstrate how a new glass, aluminum, or cable railing system from Modern Railing Co. can make a dramatic difference, turning your balcony into a stunning focal point of your home.
Project 1: From Old Iron to Modern Glass
- Before: This waterfront condo in Boca Raton had a stunning view of the Intracoastal Waterway, but it was being obscured by a clunky and outdated iron railing. The railing was also showing signs of rust and corrosion, which is a common problem in coastal areas.
- After: We replaced the old iron railing with a sleek and modern frameless glass railing system. The difference was dramatic. The new railing opened up the view completely, creating a seamless transition between the balcony and the water. The minimalist hardware and crystal-clear glass panels created a high-end, luxurious look that instantly elevated the style of the condo.
Project 2: A Wood-Look Aluminum Upgrade
- Before: This single-family home in a quiet suburban neighborhood had a large wooden deck with a traditional wood railing. While the deck was a great space for entertaining, the railing was starting to show its age. The wood was weathered and faded, and the homeowner was tired of the constant maintenance.
- After: We replaced the old wood railing with a beautiful and low-maintenance wood-look aluminum railing. The new railing had the warm and inviting look of wood, but with the durability and weather resistance of aluminum. The homeowner was thrilled with the new look and even more thrilled that they would never have to stain or seal their railing again.
Project 3: Enhancing a View with a Cable Railing
- Before: This modern home in the heart of the city had a rooftop terrace with a great view of the skyline. However, the view was being partially blocked by a bulky railing with thick pickets.
- After: We replaced the old railing with a sleek and stylish cable railing system. The thin, stainless steel cables created a modern and industrial look that perfectly complemented the home’s architecture. The new railing was also much more open, allowing the homeowners to enjoy an unobstructed view of the city.
