• Yeah it’s this. Doubt it was done to any particular standard and the installation is really poor.

    They did match the railing motif the original though! I’d like to keep it, so I’d like the same style, but less shit / ducked.

    Originally these houses all had a half width balcony with a wooden railing. This one has been extended to full width but obvs the railing design / install needed a support thus making it incredibly stupid.

  • Late to the party, but that balustrade looks much lower than building regs would let you get away with now. Quick google it needs to be 1.1m from the flooring level.

  • Thanks, yes you are right 1.1m is what is required as well as the ability to withstand defined lateral and horizontal forces…like .5kn distributed 1kn point or something. And a kid with a 100mm head diameter shouldn’t be able to get stuck in it.

    Also wood might be verboten now as well?
