Materials

Balau, as named in three project files.

Balau is listed only where the record already names it. It is not a default for every screen or stair.

Quick answer

What this page is for.

Published Balau work: vertical Balau screening in Rondebosch; a Balau balustrade with stainless-steel cable infill in Bloubergstrand; a Balau staircase in Melkbosstrand. Those titles and files are the evidence. Measurements not in the records are not added.

Key considerations

What the brief has to cover.

Rondebosch: privacy screen.
Bloubergstrand: balustrade and stainless-steel cable.
Melkbosstrand: staircase.
Related service: timber screens and balustrades; stairs sit with outdoor structures.

How Deckspertz approaches it

Studio method.

Screens, edges and stairs are specified with the building and the exposure. Coastal Bloubergstrand and Melkbosstrand are different sites from suburban Rondebosch.

Not every screen is Balau

The screens-and-balustrades service page already states that species are listed only when named. House Jordaan in Brackenfell is a residential neighbour in that set without a Balau claim on this page.
