Glass floored balcony

[Pocster]

After nearly 3 years of looking and thinking about it . Finally gone in . Should be finished tomorrow. As it’s a 6.5m length with no middle supports does tend to unnervingly ‘flex’ .

More pics tomorrow!!

Looks good. 

Where's the diving board? Is that above the leaky roof swimming pool?

 Are you going to have any "stenciling" on it etc? Just thinking to stop kids /dogs running into it.

Lol

No bloody kids or dogs are allowed on it. 

The floor is stencilled so you can grip rather than slide . More pics tomorrow

Is it like the one that goes out over the Grand Canyon......I couldnt cope with a glass floor I'm afraid, no head for even small heights.

Just figured the reason for the skylights!

 

Did you position them so guests have no option but to park the car and step out over them?

 

Uplighters?

The official word used for those, at least in the Scottish building regs, is “manifestations”. Makes me think you have to stencil a ghost or something, which would not be entirely inappropriate.

Isn't it @NSS who's got the auto darkening windows?

 

How cool would it be to incorporate that tech in a glass balustrade? Have a pir to trigger pseudo bars or a design if you get too close. A bit like the mesh on the Occulus Rift if you stray too far from the play area.

Nah ! That’s shite 

[Pocster]

More photos now the rains stopped !

They got the steel supports at each end wrong ( too high ! ) so had to cut into my concrete . Well pleased with this though !

Looks very sleek although I think I would be scared to use it. Will decoration, repairs or replacement of the cladding be an issue in future?

Lol !

The cladding was a nightmare !

Its T & G - so to remove 1 piece means taking the very highest one off and working your way down !! ( I’ve done this ; so can vouch for the pita ).

Solution is , no one walks on it , no one touches it and no one touches the cladding - apart from that it’s great ?

Actually @Onoff I might have to get them back . The glass floor joint isn’t centre of the French door opening ?

[Mr Punter]

Looks neat with the trims around the openings.

 

If it does get damaged by anyone you could use the downstairs dungeon to conceal the body.

Just move the opening along a bit...

Brilliant of course !

The other French door opening suffers the same fate . Be easier to just take the entire back wall out ?
