Richard Burbidge balustrade enables stunning views

Richard Burbidge has installed an outdoor balustrade system on the St Mellion International Resort hotel's balconies to provide a safe and stylish vantage point.

Located on the Cornwall and Devon border, St Mellion International Resort has recently undergone a refurbishment.

The resort boasts two championship golf courses, one of which was the UK's first Jack Nicklaus designed Signature Course.

Richard Burbidge worked closely with architects Pearn and Proctor, who specified Fusion Commercial outdoor balustrade with glass panels for all guest balconies on the three-storey hotel.

Its modern mix of metal newels and hardwood handrails makes it a suitable choice for its contemporary settings.

The large glass infill panels maximise the sense of space on the balconies and allow an unobstructed view of the 18th fairway.

Fusion Commercial is independently tested by FIRA to withstand loadings of 1.5kN/m, fulfilling the requirements under British Standards.

This makes the system suitable for use in public buildings, as well as high level decks or balconies.

The system combines timber rails with metal newels and connectors to create its distinctive finish, and is available with a choice of infill options - hardwood balusters, hardwood slatted panels and glass panels.

Richard Burbidge offers a wide range of resources and added-value services for specifiers and architects, including RIBA approved CPD seminars on stair balustrade, CAD drawings, two online planning tools and downloadable specification guides.

The company also offers a bespoke planning service, providing fully priced solutions for individual project plans.
