Railing on a Concrete Balcony, Gray Brick Home
Project Overview
Black railing installed around a new concrete balcony at a charcoal brick home with wood supports, during the finishing stage of construction.
Analysis
The balcony is a concrete slab with a wood-supported underside, so posts were anchored to the slab edge with plates flashed into the new work.
Process
Measure on site during construction, fabrication, install ahead of exterior finishes, final alignment.
Outcome
A clean perimeter guard that finishes the new balcony and matches the home’s dark brick.

Materials Used
Black powder-coated aluminum posts and rails with vertical picket infill, cast base plates, and anchors into the concrete slab edge.
