BALUSTRADES INCORPORATING GRC PLANTERS
30 Aug 2023
Balustrades incorporating planters serve as both functional and decorative elements in construction, providing safety and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of a building.
When it comes to planter-balustrades, a material that has gained popularity in recent years is Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC). GRC planter-balustrades offer a unique blend of strength, durability and versatility.
The ability to incorporate GRC planters with other materials such as glass, steel, aluminium or timber provides architects and designers with the freedom to create stunning and visually appealing balustrades that are also durable and highly resistant to weathering. With its ability to seamlessly integrate with various architectural styles, GRC planter-balustrades are becoming a popular choice for both residential and commercial high-rise buildings.
Satu Bumi specialises in the manufacture of custom GRC products including GRC planters that are incorporated into planter-balustrades and is continually collaborating with architects to create new, innovative and visually-stunning designs.
When it comes to GRC planter-balustrades Satu Bumi understands the crucial role they play in enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of outdoor spaces. Therefore, their expert team of designers and engineers will work hand in hand with architects to develop custom GRC planter-balustrade designs that seamlessly integrate into the overall architectural vision of a construction project.
This collaboration is provided by Satu Bumi in the conceptual stage of a project at no cost and includes conceptual shop drawings and design renders to enable theoretical proof of concept and preliminary project pricing estimates.
In addition, from a practical perspective, Satu Bumi will also work with glass, steel, aluminium or timber manufacturers chosen by the customer/architect to ensure that the engineering of the GRC planters designed for use in planter-balustrades is fit for purpose, compliant with the approriate building standards and certified by a structural engineer.
