1. Composite Decking – The Most Popular Choice

Composite decking combines the natural look of wood with the high performance of modern materials.


Benefits of composite decking include:

  • Weather-resistant: Won’t warp, crack, or split under changing conditions.

  • Low maintenance: No need for painting, staining, or sealing.

  • Slip-resistant: Safer underfoot even when wet.

  • Eco-friendly: Made from recycled materials.

Its balance of beauty, durability, and ease of care makes composite decking the most popular choice among homeowners and developers alike.

2. Raised Mesh Flooring – 100% Non-Slip with Light Filtration

For a more industrial or highly functional look, raised mesh flooring is an excellent option.


Key advantages include:

  • Complete non-slip surface: Excellent for high-traffic or commercial applications.

  • Light filtration: Allows sunlight to pass through to lower levels, making it perfect for multi-story builds.

  • Low maintenance: Dirt and debris naturally fall through, reducing cleaning needs.

Raised mesh is perfect when practicality and safety are top priorities.

3. Glass Flooring – Stunning, Contemporary Appeal

For a truly breathtaking design statement, glass flooring offers a bold and sophisticated finish.


Ideal for high-end residential or commercial projects, glass balcony floors provide:

  • Unobstructed light transmission: Maximise brightness inside and outside.

  • Modern, minimalist appearance: Perfect for contemporary architectural styles.

  • Durable safety glass construction: Engineered for strength and long-term performance.

(And of course — the "wow factor" from a glass floor cannot be overstated.)

Every self cantilever balcony begins with a robust, fully galvanised steel structure. Galvanisation involves coating the steel in a protective layer of zinc, providing outstanding resistance to corrosion, even in the harshest weather conditions.
This treatment ensures that your balcony frame remains structurally sound and visually clean for decades without rust, offering a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that's ideal for both coastal and urban environments.

Powder-Coated Finishes – Colour Customisation Without Limits

To further enhance protection and create a flawless aesthetic, all balcony steelwork can be powder-coated. This highly durable coating process not only improves resistance to scratches, fading, and environmental wear but also opens up endless design possibilities.
We offer powder-coating in the full range of BS (British Standard) and RAL colour charts, allowing you to perfectly match your balcony to your building’s exterior or create a bold architectural statement.

Whether you prefer sleek modern greys, striking black tones, soft neutrals, or vibrant accent colours — the choice is yours.

Understanding Self Cantilever Balconies: The Modern, Leg-Free Balcony Solution

Self cantilever balconies are an innovative balcony system designed to project outward from a building without the need for visible front supports or posts. Unlike traditional balconies that rely on legs or columns for stability, self cantilever balconies use advanced structural engineering to anchor securely to the building itself, creating a clean, floating appearance.
This modern design not only enhances architectural aesthetics but also maximises natural light, expands living space, and preserves clear, panoramic views from inside your home or building. Perfect for contemporary residential and commercial projects, self cantilever balconies offer a sleek, safe, and maintenance-friendly alternative to conventional balcony systems.

Why Choose Self Cantilever Balconies Over Traditional Balcony Designs?

When comparing self cantilever balconies to traditional supported balcony systems, the advantages are clear. Unlike conventional balconies that rely on visible front posts or columns for stability, self cantilever designs are anchored directly into the building’s structure, offering a clean, open, and modern appearance.
This innovative approach not only preserves full sightlines and enhances architectural beauty but also reduces maintenance needs and frees up valuable ground space. Whether for residential homes, high-rise apartments, or commercial properties, self cantilever balconies provide superior strength, better aesthetics, and a more future-ready solution than outdated balcony designs.
