• It's a fucking pain . Problems can arise with :

    1. How do you affix the railing to the existing structure? Will it be stable and secure ? Will it move over time? Do you need to place extra structural support for the railing ?
    2. If installing over an existing external roof or terrrace- how can the installer / builder guarantee the thing will be waterproof where it's fixed into the existing roof structure.

    An architect may or may not care about the above . An installer will likely take the job/ deposit before flagging any of this

  • Umm, not to stick my oar in but that's exactly what architects care about - at least the ones that design stuff like balustrades. I used to do it but not for a while.
