Custom Balcony Guards for Irregular Balcony Dimensions

t260-9

A custom balcony guard for irregular dimensions is designed from measurements taken on site, not from a standard catalog size. The guard is then fabricated in iron or aluminum to fit the exact width, height, corners and fixing points of your balcony.

Why Standard Balcony Guards Often Don't Fit

Many balconies in Israel are not built to a single standard. Openings can be slightly wider on one side, corners may be cut at an angle, and floor levels vary between apartments in the same building. A ready-made guard built for a typical opening often leaves gaps, requires awkward trimming, or simply does not sit flush against the wall.

When the dimensions are irregular, the safest and most attractive solution is a guard made to measure. The fabric of the design, the bar spacing and the fixing method can all be planned around what your balcony actually looks like, rather than forcing the balcony to suit the product.

How the Measurement Is Taken

Accurate measurement is the foundation of a good result. The process usually starts with photos you send us, followed by an on-site measurement by our team. We record the width at several heights, the height from the floor to the top of the opening, corner angles, and the type of wall or ceiling where the guard will be fixed.

Design Options for Non-Standard Openings

Irregular balconies benefit from flexible design. Bars can be spaced evenly across an uneven width, panels can be split into sections to follow an angled corner, and the top rail can be shaped to match a sloped or stepped edge. Iron and aluminum both work well here, and the finish can be matched to your windows, railings or doors.

We draw the proposed layout and send a written specification for your approval before anything goes into production, so you know exactly what will be built.

Materials and Finishing for Custom Guards

Iron offers strength and a traditional look, while aluminum is lighter and does not corrode in the same way. Both can be finished to suit the building. Iron guards are typically hot-dip galvanized and then powder coated, which protects the metal well in the coastal conditions common around Tel Aviv. Aluminum can be supplied in a range of colors and is easy to maintain.

Your choice depends on the look you want, the weight the wall can carry and how much maintenance you are prepared to do.

Safety and Standards to Keep in Mind

A balcony guard is a safety element, so it must be built to withstand real use and to meet the relevant requirements. In Israel, railing requirements are set out in the standard SI 1142, which covers aspects such as height and the openings between bars. Exact values depend on the specific location and use, and we confirm them with the engineer or building committee for your project rather than assuming them.

Children and pets should be considered when deciding bar spacing, and fixing points should be checked for the wall type so the guard stays secure over time.

From Inquiry to Installation

The process is simple. You send an inquiry with photos, we measure on site, and we prepare a drawing and written specification. After you approve the plan, the guard is manufactured in our factory at 37 Rival Street, Tel Aviv, finished, and then installed at your home. Working this way means the guard is built around the real balcony rather than an estimate, which helps avoid surprises at installation.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a balcony guard for a corner or angled balcony?

Yes. Angled corners, recesses and stepped edges are measured on site and built into the design, with panels cut and joined to follow the shape of your balcony.

Do I need to be home for the measurement?

It is helpful to be present so we can confirm the layout and fixing points together. We can also discuss arrangements that suit your schedule when you send your inquiry.

Is iron or aluminum better for a custom balcony guard?

Iron is strong and suits a traditional look, while aluminum is lighter and resists corrosion well. The right choice depends on the style of your building, the wall, and your maintenance preferences.

How do you make sure the guard meets safety requirements?

We design according to the relevant Israeli railing standard and confirm the exact requirements with the engineer or building committee for your specific project.

Common mistakes to avoid

A common mistake is measuring only once at one point of an irregular balcony, which misses variations in width and height. Measure at several heights and confirm corners before ordering.

Our recommendation

Send clear photos of the full balcony along with rough measurements from several points, and ask for an on-site measurement before approving any drawing. Confirm the final drawing and specification in writing before production starts.

Summary

Custom balcony guards are the practical answer to irregular dimensions, built from accurate on-site measurements in iron or aluminum with a finish that suits your home.
