Book a Balcony Railing Site Measurement Visit in Israel
t311-14

A balcony railing site measurement is an on-site visit where our team records the exact dimensions, wall conditions and fixing points of your balcony before any railing is made. Booking this visit before ordering prevents fitting errors, rework and delays, because every railing we manufacture is made to the measurements taken at your home.
Why an On-Site Measurement Matters
Photos and rough sketches rarely show the details that decide whether a railing fits. A balcony can look square and still be out of level, with floor slopes, uneven walls or wall thickness that changes from one side to the other. Measuring on site lets us catch these differences before production begins.
Accurate measurements also tell us how the railing will be fixed, whether to the floor slab, the wall or the edge of the balcony, and what the surface can carry. This keeps the finished railing secure and the installation clean.
What We Check During the Visit
During the visit we walk the balcony with you and record the key details:
- Exact length and height of each railing section
- Floor slope and any level differences
- Wall and slab condition at each fixing point
- Position of doors, windows and corners that affect the design
- Existing elements such as tiles, cladding or drainage
We take the measurements ourselves rather than relying on estimates, so the drawing reflects the real space.
How the Visit Fits Into Our Process
Each job follows a clear path. You start with an inquiry and photos, we arrange the on-site measurement, and then we prepare a drawing and a written specification. You review and approve these before anything goes into production.
Once approved, the railing is manufactured in our Tel Aviv factory at 37 Rival Street, finished with hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating as needed, and then installed at your home.
Preparing for Your Measurement Visit
A few simple steps help the visit run smoothly. Clear the balcony so we can reach every edge and wall, and let us know about any tiles, cladding or planters that might be added later. If you have an existing railing you plan to replace, mention it so we can plan the removal.
Having the building details to hand, and knowing which side of the balcony faces the street, also helps us advise on the right design and fixing method.
Safety and Standards
A balcony railing has to be safe for everyday use, including for children and older residents. Railing heights, gap sizes and fixing strength are governed by the Israeli railing standard SI 1142. We keep these requirements in mind when designing your railing.
The exact values for your balcony are confirmed together with the engineer during the process, so you can be confident the final result meets the requirements for your specific site.
What Happens After the Visit
After we measure, you receive a drawing and a written specification that show the railing design, dimensions and fixing method. Take your time reviewing it, and ask us to change anything that does not suit you. Only when you approve the drawing do we start production.
This approach means no surprises at installation day, and a railing built precisely for your balcony.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be home for the balcony measurement visit?
Yes, it is best that you or another adult are present so we can walk the balcony together and confirm the design details with you. Having someone on site lets us answer questions as we measure.
What should I prepare before the measurement visit?
Clear the balcony so we can reach all edges and walls, and note any planned tiles, cladding or planters. Sharing photos beforehand helps us prepare for the visit.
Will the measurement visit commit me to an order?
No. The visit gives us the information needed to prepare a drawing and specification, which you review and approve before any production starts.
Why not measure the balcony myself and order from those numbers?
Small differences in floor level, wall thickness or fixing points can change the fit. Measuring on site with the drawing in mind reduces the risk of errors and costly rework.
Common mistakes to avoid
A common mistake is ordering a railing from rough measurements taken by eye or from a phone photo. Small errors in length, height or slope often only appear on installation day, when they are hardest to fix.
Our recommendation
Book the site measurement before choosing a final design, and review the drawing and written specification carefully before approving it. Ask about the fixing method for your specific wall or slab so there are no surprises at installation.
Summary
A balcony railing site measurement visit gives you an accurate, approved plan before production, so the railing fits correctly the first time.
