Perched near the entrance of Wellington Harbour, a residence boasting magnificent views of the surrounding bush and harbor sought a balustrade solution that not only complied with regulations but also enhanced the outdoor living experience. The challenge was significant – a waterproof deck, external gutters, and a room beneath the deck. Enter UNEX and their innovative solution, the DKG Gutter Brackets.
The UNEX Gutter Bracket played a pivotal role in fixing the vertical balustrade posts to the side of the house. What makes this system exceptional is its compatibility with any UNEX proprietary balustrade system with posts. The installation process, managed by an Authorized UNEX Fabricator, was a collaborative effort, ensuring precise coordination with other parties involved.
One of the key advantages of the UNEX solution is its ability to mount the balustrade behind the drip edge, avoiding any piercing of the waterproof membrane. This not only ensures compliance but also maintains the integrity of the waterproof deck. Additionally, the external gutter, fixed independently of the balustrade, provides flexibility in gutter selection, contributing to a customized and polished appearance.
The end result is nothing short of outstanding – a compliant balustrade that seamlessly integrates with the residence's architecture. UNEX DKG Gutter Brackets, a fully compliant and proprietary solution, have left their mark on numerous projects across New Zealand. In this case, they have not only met the challenge posed by the unique features of the Wellington residence but have elevated the outdoor space, allowing the owners to relish the beauty of their surroundings without compromise.
