Hi, would any one care to share what other options are there to do at the balcony to prevent rain from coming in? And what would the estimate cost be for the various options?

1. roof

2. Roller shutter

3. Retractable awning

4. Bamboo blinds (for those with roof without windows)

Can only think of these few. Cost, not too sure. U can check with the companies that do such stuff directly.

Awning is the most permanent option...

It is also the most expensive one...

However, some owners do not like having a roof at the balcony cos they like the natural light coming in..

It depends on u lor...

Yah.. I would love to go without a roof at the balcony, and do a retractable awning. Too bad my sellers did the roof, and it's such a waste to hack it away.

U staying in ur new home already?

1) Depends on material cost, better ask for quotation. My time was between $9 to $18 psf.

2) 3k to 3.5k

3) Didn't do it cost wanted bigger space. It depends on what u want, compress wood, solid ply, feature wall? cost will be different.

Thanks, will be going for 1st appt in Mar 2009.

Yesterday when I went to my place, I saw a balcony with those greenhouse roof. It's basically open air with a glass roof on pillars. Looks rather shiok. Can consider this as well. Then can use bamboo blinds to prevent rain from coming in.

Jackpot. I think it was open balcony before with those WI grills and the awning was added later. Just wondering why the the awning did not extend all the way to the edge, that way part of the WI grill can be removed.
