Materials of Balcony Edge Trims
Balcony and terrace edge trims are commonly available in materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and plastic, each offering unique advantages and disadvantages. Here’s a breakdown of which material might be best for your project:
Aluminum Balcony Edge Trims
Aluminum is the most popular choice due to its versatility and affordability. The surface of aluminum trims can be treated in various ways, allowing them to come in different colors. Aluminum trims are also corrosion-resistant and highly weatherproof, providing long-term protection for balcony edges and helping to prevent moisture penetration. Given their cost-effectiveness and similar benefits to stainless steel, we primarily offer aluminum balcony trims.
Stainless Steel Balcony Edge Trims
Stainless steel provides the highest level of durability and corrosion resistance, especially with V4A grade, which withstands even saltwater and chlorine. This makes stainless steel trims extremely weatherproof and long-lasting. They also add a timeless, stylish look that creates a cohesive appearance for any balcony or terrace. However, stainless steel trims are the most expensive option.
Plastic Balcony Edge Trims
Plastic trims are the most budget-friendly choice, but they are less durable than aluminum or stainless steel. High UV exposure can cause plastic trims to become brittle over time, limiting their lifespan. This is an issue that does not affect aluminum or stainless steel trims.
For an optimal balance of durability and cost, we mainly offer aluminum balcony edge trims, providing the ideal combination of longevity and affordability
Different Balcony Trim Heights for Various Build-Up Heights
We offer a variety of trim heights for balcony construction to suit different needs. Depending on the product, the available height options vary.
Our balcony angle trim with a drip edge is available in 9 mm, 11 mm, and 13 mm heights—perfect for common tile thicknesses. For a flush finish, include a 1-2 mm allowance to ensure effective edge protection for your tiles. Our T-shaped balcony trims are compatible with standard 20 mm tiles. For build-up heights of 53 mm, 65 mm, and 95 mm, we recommend the Y-shaped balcony trim
Applications of Balcony Trims
Balcony trims offer numerous uses and can be combined with accessories like pedestal supports or drainage mats. They are suitable as both terrace edge trims and balcony edge finishes.
Balcony Trims with Pedestal Supports
Our T-shaped balcony trims are specifically designed to work with pedestal supports. The extended fascia conceals the gap between the balcony base and tiles, providing a seamless look. These trims are compatible with tiles up to 20 mm in thickness and provide a stable edge solution that protects your balcony edges from weather exposure.
Balcony Trims with Drainage Mats
The Y-shaped balcony trim is ideal for use with drainage mats. It features drainage slots that allow water to flow through the mat and over a drip edge, effectively protecting the substrate and exterior wall from water damage. This feature is crucial, as water damage can lead to high repair costs.
FAQ Balcony Trims
Should I glue or drill and screw balcony trims on the balcony?
Gluing is ideal for uneven surfaces, as the adhesive can help level them out. When drilling and screwing, the surface should be completely flat. A third option is loose installation on pedestal supports, where the trims are held in place by the weight of the tiles.
