Used on many of medium and high-density projects, the Edge Lamerra system offers an affordable package of privacy and durability, that has proven an ideal option for housing projects.

The balustrade itself is versatile and features a perforated robust, low maintenance aluminium screen, with a striking look that typifies the minimalist, industrial style. Lamerra is a system that provides sturdy construction, partial privacy from the outside world, and transparency when viewing from the balcony. It is also highly adaptable — meaning that when and if requirements change, the system can adapt with them.

The 1.6mm-thick perforated (punched) screens of Lamerra create a hardy and low maintenance system, and with a range of powder-coat colours and five handrail styles, the system can be designed to create unique looks in medium and high-density spaces, favoured for their unique design features, the perforated screens keep the view clear with a semi-translucent finish, whilst a solid looking finish creates privacy when viewed from the outside.

Many of the projects that have used the system have both public and private spaces. A combination of solid infill panels were needed along with a requirement for private balconies to have standard perforated panels installed, enabling the occupants to see outward, while those looking up from below or at a distance will have an obscured view. The design which incorporates a specific use of spaced and particular sized perforations; makes them perfect for giving privacy to the occupant using their balcony.

As New Zealand continues to see an increasing appetite and requirement for these types of housing projects, Lamerra presents a great choice. It's popularity stems from its application in medium and high-density townhouses that require some privacy from neighbours and a design that won’t crowd the design of the construction and complements contemporary architecture.
