How to Convert a Balcony into an Enclosed Space Singapore
Ever dreamed of transforming your balcony into a cosy, private oasis or a vibrant garden retreat in the heart of Singapore?
At Alpha Shading, we can help you turn that dream into reality!
Converting your balcony into a private enclosed space not only enhances your living area but also provides a perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and style.
Enclosing your balcony opens up a world of possibilities, whether you aim to create a cosy indoor space, a serene balcony garden, or a trendy balcony bar.
Here’s how you can maximise your outdoor area and turn it into a functional, beautiful extension of your home.
Planning Your Balcony Design
Assessing Your Needs
Start by considering what you want to achieve with your enclosed balcony. Do you need additional living space, a balcony garden, or perhaps a cosy balcony bar? Your intended use will guide your design choices.
Consulting with Experts
It’s wise to consult with professionals who are experienced in balcony design and construction. They can help you navigate regulations set by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and ensure that your project meets all safety and legal requirements.
Experts are also constantly updated on the latest regulations regarding converting outdoor spaces into private roof terraces or enclosed spaces.
Getting Approval
You may need to obtain approval from your condominium management or relevant authorities. Ensure all necessary permissions are in place to avoid any legal issues later.
Hiring a professional can make the approval and permit process easier, as they are well-versed in any legal requirements or limitations.
Choosing the Right Materials
Glass Panels
Glass panels are a popular choice for enclosing balconies. They provide a sleek, modern look and allow natural light to flood the space, maintaining an open and airy feel.
At Alpha Shading, we offer high-quality SkyGlass that ensures both durability and safety for your enclosed balcony.
They feature a fully motorised system for easy window operation and are also equipped with a specially designed hand to prevent jamming or hurting your finger or hand in the system.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are an innovative solution for creating a flexible indoor-outdoor space. These windows can be fully opened to enjoy the fresh air or closed to create a cosy, private, enclosed space.
Alpha Shading’s SmartWindow are designed for durability and ease of use, making them a perfect addition to your balcony enclosure project.
Enhancing Comfort and Functionality
Air Conditioning
Consider installing air conditioning to make your enclosed balcony comfortable year-round. This addition will make it an ideal spot to relax, even during Singapore’s hot and humid days.
Natural Light
Maximising natural light is crucial for creating pleasant, private, enclosed spaces. Consider combining our glass wall systems with our Zipsystem to control the amount of sunlight entering the room without sacrificing light.
Zip balcony screen blinds are a versatile option for adding both style and practicality to your enclosed balcony. They offer excellent protection from the sun and rain while also providing privacy and a modern look.
Alpha Shading’s Zipsystem are available in various colours and materials, ensuring you find the perfect match for your balcony design for maximum yet adjustable protection from the elements!
Creating a Cozy Atmosphere
Furnish your enclosed balcony with comfortable seating, cushions, and perhaps a small table. This setup can transform it into a perfect spot for reading, having coffee, or simply unwinding.
Incorporating greenery can bring a touch of nature into your urban home and usher in a feeling of calm and serenity. Choose plants that thrive in your local climate for your mini garden
and consider using a mix of potted plants and vertical gardens to save space.
Hanging plants, wall-mounted planters, and small trees can add depth and interest to your balcony garden, making it a lush, green retreat.
Maintaining Your Enclosed Balcony
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your enclosed balcony in top condition. Clean glass panels, balcony screens, and other materials regularly to prevent wear and tear.
Check for any signs of damage and address them promptly to ensure the longevity of your enclosed space.
We offer a solid 5-year warranty on the motor and mechanism for both Zipsystem® and SkyGlass®.
