Frequently asked questions
The maintenance and cleaning of flat concrete balustrades is relatively straightforward. At ParaTuReforma, we provide some general guidelines for their care:
- Regular cleaning: You can clean flat concrete balustrades using warm water and a mild detergent. Apply the cleaning solution to the surface and use a soft-bristled brush or sponge to scrub away dirt or stains.
- Removal of stubborn stains: For persistent stains, use a concrete-specific cleaner.
- Sealing: Concrete can be porous, so it is recommended to apply a sealer to protect it from moisture and weathering agents.
- Inspection and repair: Carry out periodic inspections to identify potential damage, such as cracks or chipping on the concrete balustrades.
The installation of a flat balustrade can vary depending on the material type, specific design, and environmental conditions. Here is a general overview of common installation steps:
-
Planning and design: Before starting, carefully plan and design the flat balustrade according to your requirements. Determine the dimensions, design, height, and spacing of the components. Also consider local building and safety regulations.
-
Preparing the area: Prepare the installation area, ensuring the surface is clean, level, and free of obstructions. Remove any existing handrails or structures if necessary.
-
Installing the posts: Posts are vertical elements that provide support and anchorage for the balustrade. Determine their location, mark the fixation points, and install them according to the design specifications and manufacturer recommendations. This may involve anchors, adhesives, or appropriate fastening methods depending on the material.
-
Installing horizontal rails: Horizontal rails span between the posts and create the flat appearance of the balustrade. Position and secure the rails according to the planned spacing and design. This may require connectors, clamps, or other fastening devices depending on the chosen system.
-
Securing and final adjustments: Once the posts and horizontal rails are installed, ensure they are firm and secure. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure a uniform appearance and correct alignment. Verify that the balustrade is level and compliant with local safety regulations.
Flat concrete balustrades are known for their durability and strength. Their average lifespan can be quite long, especially if they receive proper maintenance. Under normal conditions and with appropriate care, a flat concrete balustrade is estimated to last between 50 and 100 years.
