Balcony decking is a common feature in private households in Singapore. For many houses with balconies, laying a balcony decking on the balcony is always a good option for a number of reasons.
- Balcony decking prevents people from falling into planter box
Planter box are empty holes commonly found in balconies in Singapore. They can be 300 mm – 600 mm deep normally and accidentally falling into it is likely to cause some injuries to the house occupants. As such, doing balcony decking on planter box is a necessary insurance expense for many owners. The balcony decking will cover the empty planter box and will provide a levelled flooring that you do not need to worry about tripping accidents. Many people do balcony decking to protect their children and pets from falling down into the planter holes.
The above picture shows how balcony decking over planter box can prevent people from accidentally falling over into the planter box and potentially injuring themselves.
- Balcony decking gives the option to level your sloping balcony
For a balcony that is covered with tile flooring, normally there is a minor slope on the base balcony floor by default. This is a standard feature of balcony in Singapore. Doing a balcony decking can either maintain that slope or can also level the final floor level. With a levelled floor, circular objects will not roll downwards, causing inconvenience. - Balcony decking elevates house value
Natural timber decking or wood-alike materials have the ability to elevate the aesthetics of your house. Balcony decking can make your home look more classy and elegant, which is useful for landlords looking to sell or rent out properties with quality decking.
A grand beautiful outdoor view is best coupled with a good balcony decking like the picture above. - Balcony decking gives more usable space
Not only that balcony decking covers planter holes, it also gives landlords or tenants extra usable space. They can put tables and chairs on their balcony and use the space for activities.
