Een lichtgewicht composiet balkon voor nieuwbouw, of in geval van renovatie over de oude betonnen versie heen schuift. Dit zorgt tevens voor een vergroting van het balkon, meer woongenot, een mooier uiterlijk en waardevermeerdering van de woning.
A lightweight composite balcony for new construction, or in case of renovation, slides over the old concrete version. This also ensures an enlargement of the balcony, more living pleasure, a more beautiful appearance and an increase in the value of the home.
Composite Balcony – We have developed lightweight composite balconies for a housing association. These are partly placed on an existing terrace, but also protrude 1.5 meters, which has created more outdoor space for the residents.
The residents in Hengelo-Noord now have a spacious terrace where they can eat and sunbath instead of a small seating area. To make this possible, the composite balconies are not only light, but above all incredibly strong and rigidly constructed. The attachment of this new, much more spacious balcony consists of no more than four bolts.
The Kleine Driene district in Hengelo, built in the fifties, is considered one of the most beautiful examples of reconstruction architecture by Van den Broek en Bakema. Although the district is still reasonably popular, restructuring is necessary, especially at the housing level. The existing porch houses no longer met the requirements of the present day.
Major maintenance was therefore carried out on 148 porch houses. The work mainly involved removing asbestos, improving the outer shell, the interior, the technical installations and enlarging the shower and kitchen area and the balcony.
The new balconies, measuring 400 x 160 cm, are anchored in a cantilevered manner on the existing poured balconies. Due to the insulating capacity of the new balconies, the poured balconies are completely thermally wrapped. Thanks to this solution, the existing indoor balcony could be closed off and the shower and kitchen could be enlarged.
Development, production, transport and assembly of the composite balconies by Holland Composites.
