Stainless steel balcony screens with toughened glass inserts fabricated, welded and installed by Precision Arc Engineering at Hawthorns Residential Care Home, Eastbourne, East Sussex.



This was a stainless steel and glass balcony installation for a major residential building in Eastbourne, Sussex, showcasing Precision Arc Engineering's welding and fabrication work in the building and construction sector. PAE were also main contractor for this project.
New steelwork was designed by our structural engineer. Design work for the fabrication drawings produced by PAE was taken from the structural engineer’s design. The structural engineer provided details for tying steelwork into the building.
New steel work was fabricated in the Precision Arc Engineering workshop. The steel work was galvanised and then powder-coated in white. Once delivered to site, PAE installed the steel in conjunction with the structural engineer’s design.
316 stainless steel handrails were fabricated in the PAE workshop and installed to suit the new balconies. The structural engineer provided details for tying the handrail into the building.
10mm bronze toughened glass panels were installed between the stainless steel posts of each balcony.
