HOW TO LOOK OUT FOR A BALCONY COLLAPSE
It's critical to ascertain whether your balcony was built properly. One way is by checking council records for proof of building approval. Another way is by having it checked out by a structural engineer or a specially-trained architect. The following tips may also be useful:Timber Balconies
1) Identify the species of timber. Oregon may not be appropriate for external structures. It is distinguishable by a broad softwood grain pattern and by a pinkish colour when fresh surfaces are exposed, like during a split, for instance.
2) Observe for any compression or deformation of the structural members.
3) Test the timber by probing with a sharp object like a screwdriver. Decayed timber may feel soft and spongy.
4) Gain access underneath using a ladder. Check connection points at the beams with a screwdriver for deterioration. Timber generally rots where two pieces of timber join together. Examine brackets and bolts to make sure they are not rusted.
5) Make sure the timber balcony is properly fixed to the house or that the members run into the house.
6) Check base of timber posts for rot and again check brackets and bolts for signs of rust.
7) Posts need to be securely anchored into the ground and not just bolted into the paving.
8) Check handrails and vertical balustrade to make sure they are not rotted and unstable.
Concrete Balconies
1) Look for signs of deflection. If the balcony leans, there is a problem.
2) Examine the underside of the concrete balcony. Rust stains on exposed steel reinforcing are signs of a serious problem.
3) Check handrails and balustrades to make sure they are not rotted, loose or unstable.
4) The presence of spalling, where chunks of concrete are flaking off, may be a serious problem and needs to be inspected by an expert.
There are only a few simple rules to follow here; the length of the hung curtain should be to the floor or the windowsill. Anything in between looks rather odd.
There is a trend today of puddling curtains, this is where they are made longer than the height required and “puddle” on the floor, this requires a skill in fabric selection, so that they sit well. It is used commonly in living rooms and bedrooms.
With puddle curtains on a hand drawn track, make sure that the width of the curtain is not excessive as they become heavy and difficult to draw back. They are also prone to picking up all the fluff from your floor, so a little bit more attention is required to keeping them looking smart.
The top of the curtain (the heading), for all curtains can be at ceiling height, above or at the top of the window frame or flush with the window reveal.
It all depends on the space that you have. Do keep your choice constant in your home as it can look very odd if some curtain heads are fixed at different heights to others, especially when you can view through from room to room.
The finished length of ceiling to floor curtains should leave a 10mm gap, so that they don’t catch the floor and are easy to draw back, the gap for finishing at a windowsill only requires 5mm.
For safety reasons, never cover radiator heaters with curtains, look for another solution, either stop the curtains short of the heaters or use a blind as an alternative style of window treatment.
