Underwood Steel • December 19, 2019
‘Romeo, Romeo, Where for Art Thou Romeo…?’ are famous lines that have been etched into everyone's memory. Taken place on Juliet’s infamous balcony, you could recreate this Shakespearean love scene with your own balcony from Underwood Steel.
Yet, despite the melodramatics, there are plenty of other reasons why you should install bespoke steel balcony onto the exterior of your home or apartment. Below, we have conjured up three reasons that we hope will convince you - whether you have found your Romeo/Juliet or not.
Perfect for Summer
If you are considering having a balcony attached to the exterior of your home, there is no better time like the present, especially with summer on its way.
Having a balcony attached to your flat or home is the ideal space to relish the summer sun and warm air. Increasing the space in your home, no matter how big or small, a balcony is a great space for both entertaining and relaxing. You can have all of your friends round, host a barbecue and enjoy the long evenings with a glass of Pimms in hand.
Adds Value to Your Home
Adding a balcony to your home or flat will significantly increase its value, especially if you do plan on selling it in future. Specifically, in urban areas like London, Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool or Birmingham, having extra exterior space to your home will be sought after by young professionals, couples and small families.
According to Property Reporter, adding a balcony can, on average, increase the value of your home by as much as 12%! And, it may increase to even more if you live in a coveted and highly sought after area.
Creates a romantic and ‘Parisian’ look
Balconies have not only been romanticised by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, but they are often a staple for apartments in warmer climates like France, Italy and Spain. Especially, as it allows you to admire the view of the world around and below you. In fact, having a balcony on a rental property in Paris, for example, will also increase its prestige due to these romantic connotations. So, it could be the perfect way to elevate your home.
