This stunning home on the banks of Queenstown Lake Wakatipu utilises two of Juralco’s balustrade range to great effect. The team from HomePlus Southland were approached by the owner of this property to recreate their clear vision. The property is in a gorgeous location and the owner wanted to maximise the opportunities the amazing outlook and outdoor experience presented.
To ensure nothing detracted from the stunning views Edgetec® Double Disc Anchor Balustrade with toughened safety glass and a slim top rail were chosen for the property’s three balconies. The 50mm diameter round, aluminium anchor fixings along with toughened glass panels, provide a clear, minimalistic, uncluttered and stylish finish. The top rail and double discs have been powder coated to match the existing joinery. This sympathetic balustrade will not compromise the view.

For the boundary fence at the entrance to the property, the HomePlus team had suggested Edge® Stecca™ be used. The customer was convinced by the aesthetic of these durable aluminium panels which is a key feature. The fitted slats on the front of the balustrade support rails (as opposed to inside the rails) have added an extra dimension of depth and interest. The panels have been powder coated to the customer’s requirement.
The finished result is a stylish and distinctive property that has a distinctive and interesting boundary line at the entrance to the home but more importantly has used an appropriate balustrade for its outdoor area that has maximised its main asset, the location.
